Lurok your Runabout sets look awesome I can't wait to try them out.  I've been waiting for these sets for months  :D

Question:  On the late version do you have the rear transporter modeled in or just the door?  Just curious not trying to nitpick...

by regulars youd beter be including me!  :D :thumbsup:

but seriously there look awsome, only nitpick, the blue around the windows is too blue, it should be a lighter, more metalic sky blue, ill see what i can do with that HUE wise.

The blue comes from the lightmap.  But by all means experiment.  That's what beta testing for.  :)

ok only nitpick before i have even tested them, i think both NIF's should be scripted so they can be chosen from the bridge menu, so like early DS9 runabout bridge and late runabout bridge are both options, but these do look promising XD

you know when you select a bridge for a ship, well have it scripted so it has multiple runabout bridge options which use the different NIF's so you could have an option for the season 5-7 bridge and an option for the season 1-4 bridge, but you dont have to replace the NIF file of one to use the other, to put it basically, make them seperate bridges which use the same textures and animations....

Ok the bridge works fine full crew members, however a small problem with two crew script, miguel is hiding low down by his console but this would be a simple fix to adjust the script. Hobbs have you got the type 11 cockpit installed on your bc install? the saffi charactor uses the postion script from this bridge hope this helps.

No problems on my end, but a couple suggestions (hope they don't come off nit-picky):

1:  As with Leemason, I would recommend adjusting Miguel's position and/or animation, his arms are going a bit far into the console (I know a lot of characters on a lot of bridges suffer from this, but Miguel's here looks a bit more extreme than normal).

2:  The lower center LCARS display (circled) would look a lot better (and more canon) if it was centered and a bit larger

Good points Nero  :)

1.  Yeah, was never happy with the T11 anims (and quite a few other bridges, lol)  but until now rescripting was only option and limited.  Now Baz and I are moving on creating new anims,  I'm making a start on new Runabout anims which will hopefully get around those positioning probs.
2.  Again,  yes a wee bit on small side.  Though actually the positioning is canon to a few eps of DS9 (noticed on screencaps  :)).

But added to list of to-dos...

hobbs, it sounds like the graphics config of bridge commander is causing an issue, try fiddling around with it.

So I've doing some major revisions on bridge.   Mainly small fixes on textures etc,  but key one has been new crew anims so now better placed.   Although better positioned, still  a prob with Brex/Miguel hand anims.  Because small characters,  current BC  'keyboard anims'  still tend to dip into consoles  while other anims  just look silly (hands waving in air).  Unless I can find alt anims in BC,  only solution will be to create new custom small hand anims.

At present not planning on animating chair moves.  If did, would only be Brex/Miguel,  and to be honest hardly worth it.

However, Nero gave me idea for late version runabout  so have remodelled rear of mesh with additional section to include transporter in back.   :)

@Hobbs - hope someone can help with your probs  :)

EDIT:  Miguel/Brex hand positions now fixed.

Minor report, before install

In \Data\Icons there is a folder 'LoadingScreens' with nothing there
Also there is an 'Animations' folder with nothing there. both in the zip and unzip.

v1 will have brand new anims.  Didn't include in beta as testers prob had old T11 anims already.
