Could someone give this a reskin for me?  It really needs it.  Just don't go too wild because it is not long after Capella.  (this is for a personall project, nothing big)

EDIT:  Incase anyone was wondering, this was origionally the CTWc Gryffon from Return to Sol.  I changed the name to suit my purposes.

Hm... mabey Aeolus-ish

[Jadehawk]

ok, I'll give it a spin

A small update due to an issue with the thruster glows.  The engines go big on the bottom, widdle in the middle, and small on top.

I'm at work, but I got this completed last night before bedtime. I was gonna contact you about the rear panel for the thrusters as it's really a pain to deal with using a tile texture.

The one I created for it the tile shows 6 thrusters with 2 more cut off on top and bottom when it should have been just two. If the tile for that panel could be changed to show just two tiles instead of 10 would work great for the texture I have for it. I tried all the other ones and does not come close and the texture in question is the Tcov5A one.

[Retsof]

Do you have the resources to re-map it?

[Jadehawk]

Never done it before. If I knew how I would be more than happy to do it as it would expand my skills quite a bit making textures for these tiled ships.
Any ideas? I can post a link here so you can download it or if you want to keep it out of public view, I could send it to you via email.

[Retsof]

I was gonna out it up on FSmods when you got it done anyway.  So no need to keep it secret.

[Jadehawk]

ok, will do after I make dinner for my daughters.

[Jadehawk]

ok, here is the link to the file. It includes the textures I changed and the Pof file as well.

Let me know if you want anything changed.

Can we have a screenshot, just for kicks?

[Retsof]

I like it, but the windows are way too small and ,like you said, the engine tiles are weird.  Anybody know how to UV map?

EDIT:  But the windows thing is just a personal nitpick, so don't worry about it.

[Jadehawk]

I can understand what you mean about the windows. I spent time trying to find the right size for other ships and settled on this size based on the size of a fighter next to the ship and checking how large the windows were. Having said that, I do know it could go larger like you see on the Starship Enterprise type ships.

Also, I checked the Pof model and believe it or not, there are 6 glows for the six engines back there. So it seems that's how they are supposed to look. But my opinion is it should look way better with just two large engines instead of 6 small ones done the way it was and I do hope someone can change that too.

Widdle in the middle?

Here are two screenies:

Ok speaking as a noob here's what I would do to solve the window problem.

Copy the texture than enlarge the blips until size is close to what you want. Then I would copy hull textures in bars above and below it.  That give's it a "letterbox" look and sets it int ehhull better than just one giant window "block" and is a 5 miniute fix instead of UV mapping...

  And this is one example of how good I am without being good at all.

Replace the W with an M.
