Were the turrets downloadable anywhere? The images of them are no longer on the thread.

The shine needs be toned down, I agree.

The FPS isnt bad at all. I maintained mostly 120. What really increased this was consolidating the many small textures (around 6) into larger, single textures and then saving to .DDS.

Sadly, no hi-poly turrets. That being said, the Hatty's turrets are all quite small and non-descript, and I rarely noticed them in game and I still don't notice them now.

If there is enough demand for the turrets, I may do them, but that will be a project for later as I have other stuff I want to do.

Oh, and I use Blender.

Alas, the turrets weren't included in the backup pack. And the only image of it was attached, so that's lost as well.

[Mobius]

I'm impressed. Those pics deserve to go to both the Celebration thread and our page on ModDB:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

The beam turrets were epicness!

[Rga_Noris]

Whoa there. Dont flip. I *MAY* try to recreate them if someone has pics, but trust me... the new Hatty is more than enough to keep you happy until then. I plan on a release in a few hours, so hold on.

Excellent! Who's volunteering to work on all turrets?

Nobody. It's complete pending ragingloli's reappearance.

[Rodo]

Hot damn!

I suddenly love fish...

[Rga_Noris]

Commence Plasma Core Insertion....

EDIT: Should (should...) have a working IBX now.

EDIT 2: Detail boxed!

EDIT 3: Moment of Inertia!

EDIT 4:

Edgesplit
Shinemap (MUCH better now)
Fixed docking point paths/Fighter bay paths
Detail box now encompasses slightly less polygons, but overall is much harder to notice when it is not being rendered (near impossible to notice with the thrusters blaring)
Adjusted thruster positions.
Re-added MOI.

EDIT 5: Centered properly.

NOTES: Some of the turrets, particularly the multi-part ones, look silly for some reason. Ill look into it.

THIS IS BETA (sparta?) so please bug test the crap out of it. Let me know about suggestions, bugs, etc. Please test this in missions that already use the hatty to confirm capatability.

Converted, turreted, and debugged by Rga_Noris.
LOD's and debris by Rga_Noris, but derived from Raginglolis work.
All maps, save for some minor shine map tweaking and combining smaller maps into single maps, are Raginglolis.
Some optimization was done so some detail that was in Raginglolis original has been removed, however I plan to re-add it using detail box/sub objects.

ENJOY!

[General Battuta]

Hooray, something to put in the next MediaVPs aside from a bunch of beam piercing and explosion script effects!

[MatthTheGeek]

The LOD0 of this monster makes me crash, viewing from the F3 ship viewer. Debug log is attached. LOD1 works flawlessly though.

another note: If you have disabled model caching, or if FSO cannot find the included IBX, then the Hatty will take forever to load. About 7 minutes for me. Once the IBX is there, it takes seconds. As long as music I still going you haven't crashed.

[MatthTheGeek]

Fixed for me. Cache corruption. I have re-generated the cache and it's all good now.

[Commander Zane]

Got it, was afraid my speeds wouldn't allow a download.

You are a hero amongst the community.

Hooray! Awsum hattie is awsum.

Wait, does this mean that the LOD model complexity is on par with the Karnak?

[The E]

It's high. Seriously, I-kid-you-not-high. It's right up there with a few of the crazier models Esarai has produced.

[Kolgena]

Holy crap. Just looked at the wireframe of this thing.

Holy crap.

I'm wondering if ragingloli was going to optimize geometry at some point, but never actually got to that step... I don't think I could run the game with more than one of these on screen at a time...

[mjn.mixael]

It will look mad awesome in cutscenes... now where is a cutscene that as one?... hmm...
