Aprox 4500 polygons. Uses three 1024 x 1024 bitmaps. If you need 512's download my blackelk. The textures are interchangable

Intended to be a genx lightcruiser. This is the SFC2 version

Hardpoints done using the F-NCL UI with 6 light weapons and 4 heavy

I joined the group, but there appears to be no file to download! I click the link and I get an empty directory. I think I'm doing something wrong!

Hmm- I tried d/l ing it and I only got 2.5 of the 3 meg. wierd. Ok I'll send it to Vichama later today. Vichama it will likely be in 3 seperate zip files as Hotmail has an upload limit.

You wouldn't happen to have MSN would you. Cause that would be easier.

But I still try to get it fixed at my club also.

É molto bene, ma le lucce non funzione... riparare per favore.

Or:

It's very good, but the lights don't work... Please could you fix it - thinks that's what I just said.

I've checked all the files are in place but the i-maps non funzione as I've already said

James Formo · « **Reply #6 on:** March 25, 2003, 01:14:06 pm »

Its as good as I can get it. The lights would stand out more if I made the rest of the ship much darker. Perhaps the SFC3 version can remedy that with the glows. I-maps don't seem to add that much. You have to realize that a lot of ships posted on these forums are rendered in max and do not light up the same in game. I am sure they are assigned correctly because the ship is near invisible in the 3d software as happens when I maps are assigned.

I tried looking at it in M6 and the Imaps darken the ship to an almost yellowy-brown colour and there is a bit of weird texture placement on the saucer but they light it up fine but that's because in M6 when you turn on the lighting the ships go completely black on the unilluminated areas, in MODviewer and ingame they are dull as ever, I can only imagine there is some setting that determines how much they light up the ship, on the Black Elk the lighting shows up perfectly so I don't know what's happening.

It's a cool ship BTW, though I'd suggest shrinking the bridge a bit - it's really tall. Oh and the nacelles could be maybe a bit more swept back, other than that it's real nice...

I tested this zip im mod viewer before I uploaded. It worked OK.

I was about to say kick-ass! Unfortunately WinZip just told me the file is not a valid archive/WinZip file and it can't open it - I got all 960kb so I don't see why it's not opening... Maybe I should do some quality control! j/k LOL

James Formo · « **Reply #15 on:** March 26, 2003, 10:19:06 am »

I tried the link and the browser never even made an effort to open the page. So I tired reuploading it. Still not sure if you can access it. The file should be 1.19MB. You may have gooten it before it fully uploaded. If you get the full file. Please let me know. I never had so much trouble before

Ok will I am d/l ing myself now to be sure. I changed the filename to per1.zip seams to work better. It says its 1.26MB.

I use gozilla. Ok got it d/led and it looks ok.

Thanks for your patience

btw I lwered the bridge but kept the nacels as they were. Also should be sized very close to the voyager now.

Yo, got the file but still no-go on the lighting, I'm cool with the file as is for now but you way want to look into the lighting in the future, it just about shows up in M6 so I can tell you that it works, just really really dimly - so much so that it don't show up in MODviewer or ingame.

James Formo · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2003, 04:11:26 pm »

Can you postt a pic of what is happening. Because I d/led the file I uploading and it shows up fine in modviewer.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I just tried it again in mod viewer. It looks fine.

I don't know what it might be. Make sure that all the bitmaps are still 512 X 512. Also try this. Back up the original files.

Then copy all the regular maps over the i-maps. So over write saucer_i.bmp with saucer.bmp. Do that with all three.

See if there is any difference.

I don't think this is a lighting problem. Otherwise it would manifest on my system as well.

Marauth · « **Reply #18 on:** March 26, 2003, 04:31:26 pm »

Yo - the lighting shows up fine in M6 - but it is really dull and almost impossible to see, and the hull is clearly visible - in M6 the lighting makes the unlit sections of hull go completely black, in MODviewer the ship looks like it doesn't have any lighting - here's a pic in MODviewer:

I've put it to show the nacelle as this is the most obvious part for showing up the imperceptible lighting - it's there, we just can't see it
