I'd rather have newer HTL models rather than revamped outdated HTL models. Get them all out and then fix the ones that looks too old.

[Mongoose]

Personally, I'd settle for someone finally fixing that missing Ulysses edge texture issue that seems to have slipped its way through the past two MediaVP releases.

The Ulysses is textured -exactly- as intended. Nothing is missing. But seeing as how one of the Insignia needs to be corrected on that model, it may be possible to "correct" what you feel is a defect. I personally think it adds some nice character to the vessel.

I have to wonder if we're talking about the same thing, as what I'm referring to is the strip of completely-flat gray along the front edge of the model.  (See here.)  It looks for all the world like someone forgot to map a texture to that tiny strip...I certainly can't see any justification from a stylistic standpoint, because it sticks out like a sore thumb and looks completely unnatural.  What's more, I'm fairly certain that someone on the FSU team mentioned it being an oversight in the past and stated that it would be fixed eventually.

[SypheDMar]

Yup. Right here:

if you ask me, the quickest fix for that is just to weld those vertices together and be done with it.

Dammit. Cannot unsee.

I NEVER noticed that before.

[Hades]

I've noticed it before though I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it or not. I have always thought it looked pretty terrible and should be removed, not only from there but from the gunbarrels as well. The Ulysses does have some pretty terrible mapping as it uses the retail map, so a full remap to a new texture sure wouldn't hurt.

[pecenipicek]

Boadicea needs some UV mapping redone, and textures baked then. Not much apart from that. Apart from LODS and debris that is.

Besides, i've claimed it ages ago, its just on hold till i get all the other **** done first.

Yeah, it's all the POF data that's gonna be the most difficult to do. Are you using RagingLoli's model or starting from scratch?

ragingloli's. the model is fully textured, but i didnt yet compare it to the retail boa, or if the NuIceni fits in it in any case



as i've said, i have a fair bit of models to go through first.

[Hades]

Yeah, so for all intents and purposes, it's not claimed until you or someone else starts working on it.

[Kolgena]

Is the problem with the meson bomb glow map fixed?

[attachment deleted by ninja]

[Hades]

I don't believe so. In fact, the Meson bomb could actually use an entire reuvmap and new texture as it is.

Destructable ships... that will be awesome... ships and warships that breaks apart when they start taking damage. That will be a huge step forward.

Destructable ships... that will be awesome... ships and warships that breaks apart when they start taking damage. That will be a huge step forward.

This is for MediaVPs requests, not code requests.

[MatthTheGeek]

And that's, technically, doable since retail, with destroyable subsystems.

[Snail]

And it was done, sort of, with the Boadicea.


But the amount of work needed makes it completely infeasible.

[Trivial Psychic]

This would be useless for the FS2 campaign itself, but it would be an asset for campaign designers who wish to use MVP assets with their campaigns... expand on the derelict Orion model, and create damaged and derelict versions of all primary capital ships.  Ideally, this would be incorporated with code and PCS2 support so that the derelict hull can be merged in with the primary model to serve as an alternate to debris, so ships can destroy to hulks rather than blow to bits like they do now.  It would reduce the number of table entries required and give modders some new options, but as was said above, this is for MVP requests, not code requests so the solo derelict models would stand as the suggestion for now.

[Luis Dias]

Finish the Collossus already

[Hades]

The Colossus has been finished for a while.

[Kolgena]

Btw, what is the expected release date for 3.6.14?

ups sorry, i just trought it will be cool to have something similar to Destruction 2.0 in BC2 or Red faction guerrilla itself.
but you right that code, no mediavps.

them, what about new visual interface's and menus graphics? The HUD graphics, briefing and all other in-game menus, tech room, weapons and ships selection interface's look old by now. That the first thing that my friends notices when i show the game to them for the first time.
