sooo purty

you guys planing in releasing any of those models for us artisticaly handicapped people to use?

everything from warlords is open to the public (except things I haven't released or simply won't release) you can get the model packs from http://www.scifi-meshes.com/ (currently down for an update) they are about 500 mb total and have ships in .obj format with 2-3 lods, engine meshes and collision meshes, the textures are in .psd format with specular and glow maps as well.

@EvilleJedi
I have a problem with places dummy objects and my models. I can place dummys on the model and it in the game integrate.I would like to attach weapons or a drive now for example.I select the drive or weapon, if I click him to the dummy now,my model is to seen no more.I see only the drive was inserted and can also attach nothing more,because this ship with dummys no more is to seen.
Where is the problem,can someone help?

Dude. This rocks. I will so totally be looking forward to this mod.

Is there a way to just download all the ships as a pack into Gal Civ as I have absolutly no modding experience whatsoever, but have been folowing your HW2 mod since HW2 first came out and am amazed. If it is not too much to ask can we get some instructions on how to put the ships in the game, to use while we wait for the final mod, Thanks

Ive managed to far to load models into 3ds and export them into .x files. But I can't get them to work in game at all, and since im not a 3d modeler I don't know how to fix them

A small tutorial on getting a custom model made in 3ds to be put into the game would be great...

the ships need hardpoints as those will not transfer over, they also need some work to scale them correctly and get them into a format that is exportable, as soon as I resolve my texture issues I may release some of the base ships for testing (tie, gunship, strike cruiser, ISD)

I know for textures you just give it the same name as the model (i.e. S0_Huge_0.png), as for getting multiple textures from different files to work I have no clue.

I got that really uber ISD from scifi-meshes.com into the game, and amazingly intact, cept im not sure on how to get all the original textures into the game. And for the hardpoints, I created a bunch of dummy objects and placed them under the hull, but not showing up in game

I think if you have the later (past 6?) versions of Max, you can opt to 'bake' tiled textures to form a single map. Don't have a late enough version to try it myself, unfortunately.

with high poly models without significant unwrapping baking is worthless, it makes millions of 1 px dots on the map because it appliees the map to each surface, a high poly model would be a bnightmare to unwrap, that's why they usually don't have any textures or only have procedural textures for things like grain, scratch, dirt

Hi Eville Jedi!

if you have a clue how this thing works with the textures, thne please help! Then ext thing I am on are the hardpoints.
Maybe we can work together on this.

The Star Trek Modders seem to know how it works, but it's difficult to get an clear answer, they have their minds only for the Star Trek Modd. I can understand that, but it's bad if you need help.

So I hope you can give me a hand.

God bless you, kind sirs.

EvilleJedi, if you want I can test some of your models in game, im not much of a 3d modeler tho, just kinda been messing around to try and get some nice looking ships in game. I am more of a programmer than any kind of artist, but would love to try out some of this stuff.
