well, for 1 and 2, can't help.
for 3: when exactly do you have a pb?
first, you must make the turret models, then in TS you have to glue them with a light ( light as sibling), then glue the turret+light object (called turret01, turret02 etc) to the main hull as child.
Then, you have to convert the model, when it's done, you have to make the pof data for the turret ( somebody else could explain it better than I do,  I do that in model view, I open a V model, copy the data from one turret of this pof, and paste it), then you have to make the turret entries in the ship tbl ( look at other ships entries to do so )

Thx , well Royal makes the models so he must see this post

I've tested the tiebombers and there werent any major slowdowns and even the Stardestroyer was ok since its 2 objects also.But has a z-buffer depht problem >=[ so he must solve that.


Thx for the help peeps! =]

Doesn't the Deathstar fall into that category of ships that are just too big to model for FS?  Example: The Vorlon Planet Killer.  It's a shade under Forty Kliks long, the DS is easily many times that if it gets mistaken for a moon.

[Star Dragon]

I got it! Moon Base Alpha falls into a wormhole cause DS9 dropped by ball and now is hurtling toward Earth. The Alliance is beside itself case they have nothing powerful enough to destroy the moon... Then out of the shadows a cloaked figure offers the Alliance a "deal" in return they can have the services of the newly commission "Death Star" 3 !!! It is the only thing that can destroy the rogue moon before all hope is lost "no, there is another"...

   BTW: That Galaxy isn't so far if you take the highway...

[Bobboau]

were do people get this crazy notion that the FS engine is incapable of rendering larger ships, scale never afects anything, so long as everything is scaled, you can have a model that is 100 trillion light years long in it, you probly wouldn't be able to see much of it, just a flatly colored blob that takes up half the screen, but FS would have no problem with it

[KARMA]

hey i'm doing about the same thing:)

ships already done: tie fighter, tie interceptor, tie defender
ships coming soon: tie advanced
ships already begun: assault gunboat, xwing, victory star destroyer

one guy here on the hlp board also individuated some meshes about xwing, bwing, ywing, awing that i was going to use (if the author lets me use em of course)

another guy also posted sometimes ago some great meshes about a imperial star destroyer and a super star destroyer

more again, in the xwa community there are a lot of other modders with a lot of meshes...i was going (whenever i'll have time) to ask em for help/free meshes, some guys also created a sound  pack that may be very useful (if they let us using it) to avoid copyright problems

the (temporary) site about my starwars mod is here :http://members.fortunecity.com/aranbanjo
here you can find some pics of my job

i see no point in workiong with two different team in two different modding projects but the same objective (have a working starwars mod), if you agree i thin that we can unify our efforts in order to have a better result in less time:)

exactly.
My best exemple: I have planets at real scale in FS2 (and, should I add, those planets are gaz giants, not a punny liittle earth )

[Zeronet]

Death Star needs to be in there.

[Bobboau]

I have a scale model of jupiter, set with proper rotation and everything,
and for the record jupiter is 142984000 meters wide

[Nico]

Lol, I couldn't be that precise to convert planets in TS
that reminds me I have to remake those planets with better UV maps and... ah crap, that's not fun doing those things

Thats a very good idea
Thx =]

Well im only a tester and ambassador  Royal Guard makes the models and Max Pain made the textures for the tie bomber.
So we should have a netmeeting to speak about the future plans =].

I try to get royal to this forum so he can be more specific about the problems.

[DW-Ingy]

Btw checked ur site impressive models

[Ulundel]

Hey Ingy. I haven't said it so GOOD LUCK!!! :wink:

[DW-Ingy]

thx we need it =]

[Ulundel]

You know, a year ago there was a ST project too but it was left off. Beats me why!

[Royal Guard]

Hello!
I am DW-Royal_Guard .I am the guy Sir Ingy talked about!
I have been building Starwars ships since oktober. But...I made only modells. Here are some picture about the fully functional ships which are already finished and few screenshots to proove my word
Xwing
Screen 1
Screen 2
Screen 3
Screen 4
Stardestroyer
Tie fighter
Tie interceptor
Tie bomber 1
Tie bomber 2
Tie bomber 3
Ywing

As you could read , our bigest problem is adding turrets...
But sounds , pixmaps , tables are also needed.
I will continue making ships if few peeps will join to turn them a full MOD. I am only a "sunday driver" modeller , but I like SW and love space ans stars.
My ICQ number 108794480 with the nickname Meleardil.
//Sorry...I am from a two-day-party,and damn tired.Detailes will come later.//
May the force be with us!

[Alikchi]

Dude! Sweet! Dude! Sweet!

But where's your car, dude?

[Jake101]

Nice looking, but be sure to add in possibly some of your own created sound effects.  That what my team is going to be doing for a number of our projects in the future. And be sure to give the Star Destroyer turrets in the places accordingly.  Try using reference materials such as the Star Wars Technical Journal, Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, and also be sure to use other games.

Sound effects can be ripped from a number of games, but I wouldn't just one to get everything from.
