Need conversion of some SFC2 ships to SFC3
« on: May 18, 2005, 03:18:56 am »
as this conversion to SFc3 is to much for me i wanted to ask if someone here could convert some of my SFC2 models to SFC3 for me
the ships are:







the SFC2 files of those ships are available here:http://www.terradyhne-yards.de/SFC%20ships+stations.htm

all you'll need will be to create the images (TI, VL, BS) and a GF file with the hardpoints

cool and did you have any problems with the top or bottom saucer texture, the sizes where wrong i think
and thanx for your work with this, please make the main weapons as they are on the SFC2 ship or do you need the SFc2 specs for that ??

ok here are the Hardpoints with the weapons and the arcs:

Akula Heavy Destroyer:
Hp1-3xphoton FH
Hp2-2xphoton RH
Hp3-1xplasmaR FH
Hp7-1xphoton FA
Hp8-1xphoton FA

Hp11-2xPh1 ALL
Hp12-2xPh1 ALL
Hp13-2xPh1 ALL
Hp16-1xPh1 ALL
Hp17-1xPh1 ALL


Loki Destroyer:
Hp1-3xphoton FH
Hp2-2xphoton RH
Hp3-1xplasmaR FH

Hp11-2xPh1 ALL
Hp12-2xPh1 ALL
Hp13-2xPh1 ALL
Hp14-1xDis4 RA
Hp15-1xDis4 RA
Hp16-1xDis4 FA
Hp17-1xDis4 FA
Hp18-1xDis4 RA


Michael Addam Heavy Scout:
Hp1-3xphoton FH
Hp2-1xplasmaR FH

Hp11-2xPh1 ALL
Hp12-2xPh1 ALL
Hp13-2xPh1 ALL
Hp14-1xPh1 RS
Hp15-1xPh1 LS
Hp18-1xDis4 RA

all should have the same shields,sensors,computers,armor,reactor ... like the SFC3 Excelsior since those ships are Excelsior era, if the reactor power of the stock excelsior era is enough for the weaponsand the Akula version should have the power for 4 Excelsior warpnacelles since the nacelles on those ships are dual nacelles in one housing

OK copied the h.p's to my comp for easy ref. as for the shield's engine's etc, there attributes
 are listed in the default core and loadout file's on the player's computer, so are beyond our
 control. player could use sovvie stats if he wants to, same go's for the weapon arc's.
i can write up the recommended stats but a player can use what he wants.
 you probably know all that, just thought to say it to be sure.
btw in sfc3 it's 1 h.p., 1 weapon, 1 shot :example: Hp1-3xphoton to fire 3 photons you need 3
Hp's. otherwise it's 1 photon and recharge same thing for the phasers. to get the firepower you
want i'll need to add Hp's unless thats not what you want. again not trying to be a smart a*s
just making sure.

sorry to hear that, hope your hand will get well soon and that the pain disapears soon  ;D
and i could wait for the conversions, they are not that important, i only wanted them in SFc3 finally but i never really got them work correct in SFC3  :)

OK hand is good enough to work. h.p's done need to know about the brk_mod. without one
recacher won't generate the x_brk file. if the exp file is the brk_mod i need to know how to
convert it into mod format.
