Can you tell us if the ports are for SFC OP do they need retexturing or hard point placement.
Thanks for porting them over

Terradyhne · « **Reply #4 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:04:11 am »

Hi Starforce2 my Deepexploration exports work now again and i had totally forgotten that i wanted to convert these models.
I converted the Warbird today and resized it to match the SFC-OP Romulan Dreadnought cause the original KA model is way to big for direct port to SFC-OP.
Here is the Rar-archive with a unresized 3ds and LWO file and one resized 3ds and SFC-Mod file, the unresized files have some wrong texture placement and the mod file has no Hp's and needs some lightmaps.

Kthyla is a credit only person according to the list in the stickies.

As for lighting I will probably hand them over to cordinalis or JB06 when they get online (atleast for my bcports) but if you guys get to it first then great.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #12 on:** December 31, 2008, 09:06:34 pm »

I have a Klingon Academy Tholian style version of the Tholian cargo freighter ready to go once it's actually lit... It matches a retexture of the Obsidian Tholian Star Base, a version of which was from Taldren's aborted Galaxies at War project.

See attached files mod gods. I made what I think are appropriate light maps but I can't attach them...

It needs lighting and for the Read Me/credits to be done. This was a retexture done by using the Klingon Academy Tholian, DN, BCH and DD texture sets as well as the Taldren Tholian Freighter from the aborted Galaxies at War project.

Thanks to Starforce I know I have neglected a lot of conversions I had been working on years ago I should really get back to.

The main problem with KA converts though is the MASSIVE amount of textures. Many are redundant.

I'm just glad he never disliked how his work turned out after I got a hold of it.

Just caught the post and have now downloaded the ships.. will proceed on making the lightmaps and modifying the meshes to support them if there's an interest?

Excellent Atheorhaven. I am really looking forward to the lit version of the Tholian Freighter.

Also Kreeargh, thank you for tweaking the V44. Any chance you can tweak the Romulan Mobile Repair dock?

In the meantime, I have a Reman version of the V44 completed that primarily uses LC Amaral's Katarn textures. I was thinking that the Remans might have used one of these as a test ship for the later Scimitar weapons... I don't recall LC Amaral's release permission policy off hand though.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #20 on:** January 03, 2009, 10:12:00 am »

Some pics I took using CV... These pictures don't do these ships justice.

A Reman version of the V-44 as the Scimitar sleath/attack technology test ship. The belly of the Reman V-44, which you cant see here, strikes me as being like that of some undead bat/bird creature. This is also where the primary hangars have been moved to in the retexture. The command pod "head" textures look very reptilian now up close. The three triangle deflectors have been replaced by something that looks close to the TNG USS Voyager's/Intrepid class deflector. Also the hunched back of the V-44 screams to me "Advanced sensor and Electronic Jammer suite package"

Once the Tholian freighter is lit up it will be even better. All the Tholians I use are in Klingon Academy colors.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #21 on:** January 03, 2009, 11:23:54 am »

Some in game shots of the Reman V-44. I'll have to reinstall my space texture pack so it won't be as dark. Naturally, I took these pictures at noon...LOL

I need to tweak the light maps.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #23 on:** January 03, 2009, 03:02:57 pm »

Okay, I also did a Reman version of the Tagor Talla. Odd thing is that the ship is too dark in game IMHO. I may alter the light maps to fix it. When the Reman Tagor Talla retexture is cloaked in game, thegreen rectangular replacement Impulse engine texture stands out. I don't know if this is mesh related or not, there is a minor mesh problem near the back of the warp engines too when you use the CV program to create SFC3 VL, TI and BS. Strange since I used the same textures I used on the V-44.

Nicely done Kreeargh! Soon the Rihannsu will have their Reman underlings workingon this fine mobile repair dock.

This collaboration is yet another GREAT example of what makes the SFC community so awesome.

With that in mind here is a Reman version of the mobile drydock. I'd imagine that the Remans would be sent to places close to the frontlines to repair their masters ships...

NOTE: CV shows a mesh error on the warp engines so I was not able to standardize the warp engine textures as I liked.

I need some help with getting additional lighting for the Tagor Talla.

It appears that the wings weren't lit up to the same degree as the V-44 which is why the model shows up pitch black in SFC/Mod Viewer.

I have no idea why CV shows you all the ship detail however.

If someone wants to point me in the direction of the Repair Dock, I can help with that. (edit: nm, found it going through this thread)

Break mod and illumination maps are added to the Tholian now.. here's the results. (Will try to upload it to someone/somewhere on Monday).

(ps: to me, this mesh looks backwards, but I'm not adjusting its orientation in case that it's actually supposed to be that way).

atheorhaven · « **Reply #38 on:** January 23, 2009, 01:05:58 pm »

Btw, just in case people want to see it.. what I posted above is what a color illumination texture does for a mesh..

Here's a sample of what I did with the Tholian.. you can see these textures on the "arrowhead"

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #39 on:** January 23, 2009, 05:05:37 pm »

Nice job Altheorhaven!

Based on the pictures at Kthyla's site I always figured that the Tholian is pulling the freight behind it and not pushing it as it travels backwards...

If you think it's moving backwards than it probably is and if you can fix it or offer a "fixed" version that will save an additional request.

Thanks for your work on these fine ships.

Well, it *appears* to be backwards according to every Tholian ship I've ever seen, but then again the Tholians don't think the same way either, so it might be right. It'd make more sense the other way, IMHO.

What I'll do is have both MODs.. that way people can use the one that they prefer.

Break MOD btw breaks behind the arrowhead and shatters the cargo trailer into seperate components.. it should look good when it's ingame.

The trick is when to send it as I'm still dialup at home.

What I think I'll do is send it as is to you to try out, and then if it's good for you, Monday I'll put the whole thing back up for people to grab.. (edit: Okay, it's in your Gmail and Hotmail accounts ready to fly).

The trick here is honestly finding time. I have 1:40 hr commute each way to work now, and we're pretty busy on the weekends as well now. :p

Just glad to get something up, my TARDIS has been languishing for far too long, and the Doctor has threatened to drop K9 into E-Space again because he won't shut up. So needless to say, that needs to get posted sooner rather than later..

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #41 on:** January 23, 2009, 08:04:15 pm »

Too bad we couldn't find a way to switch models in game battles so they fly backwards to simulate retrograde manuevers. Then again, the models folder would just get bigger and bigger...

The Tholian frieghter is flying backwards, lol...

I still remember the KA Tholian Quartz DD when it was ported over it was flying backwards too.

Here's an orginal picture: http://dhost.info/phoenix/scrnsht/thftr1.jpg and one that shows the original freighter engines as viewed from behind: http://dhost.info/phoenix/scrnsht/thftr2.jpg

I just ports what I was sents.

Yeah, I was certain that the Tholian was backwards as well, but didn't flip it around in case it was supposed to be that way.

Perfect.. that's what I was going for.

Okay, I'll flip the ship around tonight if I can sneak the time in, and then redo the break .MOD once it's flipped around. That should get it looking the way that it should. That all being said though, I'll have to find the credits file Kthyla has (if I don't have it in the directory) so that it could be put into a new archive..
