tFighterPilot Posted October 31, 2003 Author Posted October 31, 2003 I'll play some Rogue Squadron to remember just how it moves
mace_sundancer Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 it flies like any other fighter, i've justed finished re-playing RS3D so i can tell you that. the only difference is of course, it lacks secondary weapons like proton torps, concussion missiles or bombs that the a-wing, x-wing, y-wing and v-wing have. really the 'snowspeeder' is supposed to be an Incom T-47 airspeeder. it's a sub-orbital fighter craft, comparable to a jet plane...x-wings, TIEs, b-wings, e-wings, y-wings, a-wings are all trans-atmospheric fighters, that can fight in atmosphere or in space. the v-wing is also an airspeeder...
tFighterPilot Posted October 31, 2003 Author Posted October 31, 2003 Rogue squadron don't have any space missions for some reason, unless you count that deathstar mission. Another difference between the snow speeder and the x-wing(for example) is that the speeder can't make loops, and they can make much lighter pitches. JA does not features loops, and the pitch amount is adjustable. I just don't see any reason to make it a speeder type.
tFighterPilot Posted November 1, 2003 Author Posted November 1, 2003 Mars has already sent it to me, but my 3D Studio Max couldn't read it properly, so I'm now waiting him to send it to me in a 3ds type

I thought that building a lightsaber showed that the Jedi had completed his early training. If it were given to Eeth Koth, then Eeth Koth missed out on a big part of his training.

tFighterPilot Posted November 1, 2003 Author Posted November 1, 2003 The situation is looking grim, as all of the efforts my Mars to send me the model with the textures fails.
Manquesa Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 well, if the model hasn't actually been changed since you sent it to him. He should be able to save the uvw mapping coordinates as a *.uvw file and then send you those files along with the texture maps seperately. Then you'd just have to load up the model (the one you already have), add the uvw unwrap modifier to the model, then in the uvw unwrap parameters window click on "Load" and load the .uvw file. Then just assign the material to the model (the texture map). Just an idea, i'm not sure exactly what problems your having so it may not be the best solution.

A good suggestion I think we got it figured out. It seems as though his md3 importer for max, dumps the texture info. He was able to bring it into md3 view, and export it as a glm. So were good now. Mars out!
tFighterPilot Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 I'll continue tomorrow, cuz it's getting late.
tFighterPilot Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 I inserted it ingame, but there are still some stuff I need to work out.
NeoMarz1 Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Quote Originally posted by imyourfather I inserted it ingame, but there are still some stuff I need to work out. Looks great! I cant wait to check it out myself. Mars out!
The Cheat Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 one word, ownage, that looks so awesome man. you have done a great job on his
tFighterPilot Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 I have a problem, the speeder is about a meter of the floor when it lands. It's not THAT high, but I don't know what to do about it. I raised the Z Origin Adjust to 40, but it didn't in Assimilate, but it was just like when it was on 24, is 24 the max? Anyway, anyone wanna test?
Manquesa Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 well, there is both hoverHeight and a landingHeight parameter in the .veh file. But also you can move the vehicle on the x-axis in 3ds max before you export to .XSI so that's it's a little more above the dummy tags (all the root tags, step 5 of Duncan's tut), I think that'll work, may be wrong though.
tFighterPilot Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 Quote there is both hoverHeightOnly for speeder type vehicles. Quote and a landingHeight It just determans when the ship will begin the auto landing. Quote But also you can move the vehicle on the x-axis in 3ds max before you export to .XSI so that's it's a little more above the dummy tags I suppose you meant z-axis
t3rr0r Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 some other colour schemes (here and here)... for variety... if mars is interested. also, will you be making it so a second person can control the toe cable (just a secondary weapon in this case) at the back?
tFighterPilot Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 Quote Originally posted by t3rr0r some other colour schemes (here and here)... for variety... if mars is interested. Let's hold it until after the release, shall we? Quote also, will you be making it so a second person can control the toe cable (just a secondary weapon in this case) at the back? You can't use tow cables in JA, it's just ain't possible without the source code, so the tow cable luncher is just for the show, it doesn't even have a tag on it.

Manquesa Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Quote Originally posted by imyourfather I suppose you meant z-axis Yeah, whatever axis it is, I always get those mixed up, I have to look at the gizmo.
tFighterPilot Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 I kinda fixed it, anyone wanna beta test?
boinga1 Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 I can if needed, although you might want to put me low on your list- my schedule is, shall we say, a little erratic.
Emon Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 You don't need to set any offsets, you can adjust hover height in the vehicle file.
