71M Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Originally posted by ZH@o YuN What Tim means is, when you rotate the camera in flight, it rotates around the front of the ship instead of the center. Am I right? Well, kinda I meant whenever the ship turned when flying, it would rotate around the origin of the cocpit and no thte wings. The TIE Interceptor in Rogue Squadron did that and I was hoping to make this one as canon as possible. -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Radical_Ed Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 make it rotate like the tie fighter does. the vehicles are already kinda hard to control, and if one works diffrently than the rest, it could be confusing P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY IMYOURFATHER!!!!!! also, is there anyway you could possibly release it by today or tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD_Radical_Ed Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 are you going to make a special hud for the tie int, or are you just going to use the tie fighter one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71M Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 I've already made the HUD icons d00d. But I found out in-game, the wings are a tad too big, so I have to resize the whole thing. imyourfather, any updates on this thing'c completion? -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Radical_Ed Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 imyourfather told me that his computer is screwed up right now. scale shouldnt matter that mutch, when do you think it will be complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Yeah. The good news is that the hard disk is ok, only the video card was screwd. The bad news, that it will take some more days. I suggest you'll ask somebody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Radical_Ed Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 oh well, i guess i can wait a few days. imyoufather, why dont you give me a hand at fixing your pc? *Holds metal pipe above head* "PEICE OF CR**!"

71M Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 Uh yeah... Anyways, does anyone else have the time to convert this mesh to a vehicle GLM? I'm almost at the point of giving up here... :S -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71M Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 Ok... I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have managed to secure a copy of Max 5, which was really hard since Max 6 is out and making vehicles with that is even harder. Another spot of good news is that I managed to fix the tag problem that imyourfather was having with it. Now the bad news.... for some weird reason, the textures are playing up, making the whole thing look jet black. I have no clue how to fix it as I've never seen that b4... Has anyone else seen that? After that, all I have to do is resize it's Damage Icon a bit (As u can see) and then it's finished!!! -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Are you sure that the skin file is ok? Send the whole pk3 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71M Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hmm, if there was an error in the skin file, that particular surface wouldn't appear at all. Maybe it's a shader problem, but I doubt that as the shaders all worked fine on your version of the fighter. Hmm, give me a little more time to try some other things (Maybe apply the textures to the model in Max to see if it's a problem there before I'll send it to u. -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71M Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 Yes, the console is the first place I look for errors. There were none. Anyway, the next time I compiled a GLM, that problem didn't show up again, which only means one thing. It's finished!!!!!!!!! Took long enough though... Anyway, I wonder if Khan still wants this... -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71M Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hmm, I just saw the Asteroids map trailer. I'm guessing that's the map khan wanted this model for, but he already has a TIE Interceptor in there. Dang, I think I'm too late. -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I thought it was yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manquesa Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Actually, i'm thinking maybe we should use your's. I think your Interceptor looks better than mine. My only complaint is that there's no blasters on the tips of the wings on yours. Also, do you have damage tags on the vehicle. bolt_l_wingdamage, bolt_r_wingdamage, bolt_nosedamage, etc. ? I don't know, i'll ask Khan next time I talk to him if wants to use yours or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71M Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 Great, thanks Manquesa. I've already e-mailed him about it, but he hasn't responded. My guess (from also looking at his last login date here) is that he's on vacation at the moment. Um, it does actually have gun barrels, but they're pretty basic (Cylinder aattached to a box kinda thing ) just the angle u see there is obscurring it. And yes, thanks to the very good help from Khan, it has all of those necessary things: All necessary tags (Ie, the damage emitter ones, and bolt_trail, etc), explosion MD3s, correct surface hierarchy etc. Hmm, I might do some touchups on it then... -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71M Posted January 1, 2004 Author Share Posted January 1, 2004 Ah well, seeing as I'm going away for a week tomorrow, I doubt I'd get this newer version finished before asteroids is released.(But u never know). I realised my current Interceptor model is actually quite sloppy in terms of accuracy and detail, so I decided to see what else I could dowith it. I went through all of my reference material with a fine tooth comb and managed to improve the mesh a bit by giving it more canon laser muzzles, more accuate joining braces and redoing the textures in some parts. The textures need some more work, but that's about it. -TiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
