Announcing: Vehicle Pack #2

Post by **Teancum** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 9:45 pm

The K-Wing it good enough for me, no offense. I actually like Pandemic's. The B-Wing is gonna be tough --- I have no idea how to do animations. L-5-R --- or is it Saturn_V is doing an E-Wing, so that one's out.

My next might be the Moldy Crow or to go back to work on the Millenium Falcon.

The "Moldy Crow" ? It is the predecessor of the Raven's Claw, isn't it ?

*smackes Leviathan for not knowing what the Moldy Crow is*

yes... it's from the origional DarkForces and DarkForces II: Jedi Knight games...

that craft would pwn in BF

Seriously, I understand better why Kyle has decided to change his star-craft with the Raven'...

Are these compabtile for SWBFI?

Post by **Teancum** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 12:20 pm

Yes, they are only for BF1. When I get BF2, and when the tools come out, I might convert them.

it wasnt his decision...he kinda crashed the Crow

But Kyle could have repaired and restored the Moldy Crow, after that...

TO DO
-Collision --- my collision mesh is not recognized. I guess it doesn't like milkshape's (may need a XSI guy for it)
-Finalize the mesh --- there's a few things I need to fix
-Exhaust --- as you can see, it's a bit big
-Fine tune main lasers
-Secondary weapons --- I think it has them...
-The other colors --- yeah the model has yellow, green and blue (will be separate MSHs and ODFs)

What won't be done
-Landing gear & the animation with it --- sorry, I really have no idea how

I don't think the exhaust is to big, it looks good. Yes, the A-Wing has secondary weapons, missiles. The landing gear doesn't matter, i mean the original modles dosn't have them. Did you make the Millenium Falcon model that was in the Kamino:Jedi Invasion map?

"The Moldy Crow" is a such a disgusting name when you picture it...

Back to topic, great work Teancum! This is really impressive and I can't wait until I can use it!

Thanks Desann.

The A-Wing is taking awhile. I'm trying to figure out all the secrets of the collision mesh (now I know it must be under a certain poly count, and that you can have more than one -- I think up to 5 -- meshes specified in the odf). Once that's done, I just need to export the cokpit. After that I'll release a beta to get feedback and report bugs.

With my second ship I'll do a -- X-Wing Alliance -> OPT23DS ->Milkshape -> Notepad -> BConstructor -> ODF Creation ->Battlefront ---- tutorial.

I'm volonteering as a beta tester!

Adreniline · Post by **Adreniline** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 1:08 pm

exactly how many things are you upgrading and how much longer till you release it?

Post by **Teancum** » Mon Nov 07, 2005 7:11 pm

Let's put it this way. I wouldn't hold your breath. It takes a while.

Post by **Teancum** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 9:38 am

I give you the Moldy Crow

-Turret will not end up working. I needed the extra internal mesh space for other hardpoints
-Neither will the engine glow
-If it looks big, that's because it's a freighter - Even still, it's probably to small (but I'm not changing it)

This looks like it'll beat the A-Wing to a release, as the A-Wing is giving me trouble.

Blackcurrent · Post by **Blackcurrent** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 11:54 am

Ok, and why is that?

I beat the game on the dark side ending and from what I remember, the 'Crow didn't recieve any damage whatsoever.(maybe thats why jo and ja seem so inaccurate to me.)

lucasarts uses the Light Side ening as canon for all games that give you a choice like that...

in the lightside ending he crashes the crow and wakes up tied to a rock with Boc, Sariss, and Yun standing over him...

Because the A-Wing is done, except for some serious collision issues. It, of all the models, doesn't want to collide properly. I may just have to use a very low-poly model from somewhere off the net and add it.

By way of an update, the Crow is flying, and has proper collision. I just need to tune the hardpoints to the correct locations, then it's off to finish tweaking the odf.

I've been thinking of releasing another tech map so you guys can see these two in action. They'd both be VERY beta, but at least you could see for yourself.
