Re: My WIPs - Slight update 11/09

Well it's been a while, about 3 months since an update. I've had a very busy school year, and still do.
2 ships I have been working on- Proteus and Enterprise-D. :)

Proteus- I'm currently hardpointing and I only need help with adding phasers. I can easily do everything else. Please PM me if you want to help me with hardpointing (must have a computer that can handle 2048 pixel-res textures).

Enterprise-D- Still texturing. Saucer is 90% done, stardrive is 50% done. I might be able to get it done for Christmas.

I wish I could HP Wiley, or I'd help.  Though, I had to run back a few pages to refresh my memory about the Proteus.  Can't wait to see that baby.

And best of luck on the Ent-D!

Um, yes. Curved phaser arcs are very tricky to create so they work correctly ingame. My phasers seem to fire from inside the ship, though the arc is correctly in place. TMP phaser emitters were easier to add.

I'm an expert on some things, but a noob in others.

I think that's what Aeries meant.  Of course, the Proteus looks a lot smoother and less beefy.......and a lot more complete. lol

I'm still having a difficult time with the HP for the Proteus. Can someone else have a crack at it? I'm stuck.

are you trying like 1 arc per phaser strip? how about dividing em up?
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

you may also want to look at the HP on the Prometheus and Voyager as they have similar phaser arcs. and it may help with setting up the Proteus
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

i would also recommend getting in touch with Elminster...  he goes by El nowadays and can also be found on Excalibur forums here - he is a master hardpointer for BC and if anyone can help you, he can most certainly :)
i thought there was a thread around somewhere where he explains how to do curved phasers for hardpoints, but it might have been at BCU...

I'll try that first.

I've been trying that, but no luck. They are correctly lined up where they should fire from, but whenever I try to tweak the size of the aiming-cone it screws up the position firing from the mesh object. If that makes sense.

I'll contact Elminster as a last resort. I'd rather like to learn on my own or with a helpful tutorial so I will not have to ask other people for help.
