All this can be done in PCS2. It just a "copy & paste" (and adjustment) of all the path, subsystems  and more of the original TBP's models. I need some volunteers. It's really easy, but It can take me forever with all the new models. I really need volunteers..

I can import subsystem data from other models using PCS2 easily enough.  I've been doing fine tuning of firing points for the effects upgrade too, so that shouldn't be a problem.  If you need help with that I can lend a hand.

Great Slasher! You'll be very helpfull! I'll sent to you the models on a Private Message ASAP. Thanks

I've done lot of texture color adjustments, and on shine maps too, to look as on the tv show.
I created animated glow maps for the Drakhs ships LIKE IN THE SHOW. ( I can't show it on still images  )
But I have something to show, new detail normal map for Drakh riders..

I need to make some transparency, like glass, i want to see some texture that are below, but some parts on the above texture have to be visible. But i have some problems with it..
Alpha channel on TGA did't work: i can't see the texture below,  I can see throw the entire ship with this, not what i want.
Pure Green on PCX did't work neither: well... I just paint it pure green what supouse to be transparent.. but the entire texture become transparent.. not what i want neither.

Is there a way?
(you probably move this.. fell free to do so, I need an answer..)

Save it as .dds in DXT5 format.

Didn't work.. same problem: I can see throw the entire ship  :

That's transparency. I don't think it fits on the Omega though.

[Black Wolf]

That Drakh Raider looks fantastic.

[emi_100]

That's transparency. I don't think it fits on the Omega though.

But how I make glass transparency?
Like the glass in a cockpit, you can see what is below it.. but no throw the entire ship like in this case with alpha channel

Thanks.. Here are something new .. a very old ship the Tinashi

Did you model the stuff below the glass? On the default Omega, it's not modeled.
If you did, then you need to set hierarchy up properly, ask another modeler how it's done.

Yes! that was it! Thanks a lot!

Now, time for updates. Today a ship that we see a lot in the serie, the Hyperion-class heavy cruiser. Model from the HomeWorls 2 mod "War With Out End"

[Dragon]

Definitely an improvement.

[Vidmaster]

yeah

[The_Force]

One request, could  you make the text saying Hyperion customizable that is to say make one texture with just the name on it and a transparent background.

[Vidmaster]

I have a question too, is "War without End" for Homeworld 2 actually still alive? The offical website and ModDB seem dead, is development going on somewhere else, are they laying low (like Diaspo_ra) or are they dead?

[snake60]

We are on hiatus. Pepper was the more active member (he did most of the modelling and texturing) and RL has taken the priority (as for me and the others in the team).
I would say the mod is more or less dead for the moment, until we find some time/motivation to start again.

[Thaeris]

I should perhaps actually run a search myself, but wasn't someone working on an upgraded Hyperion/Midwinter? The new model looks wonderful, but I do wonder about the older start on the ship as well.

[starlord]

will the midwinter feature a different mesh?

I think I can do it.

will the midwinter feature a different mesh?

I think there are the same, just with two different beam turrets. What do you mean?

[emi_100]

Updates updates!
Nova class dreadnought now in game.

I've made full customisable Template for the name and letter on *.psd (Photoshop file).
