holy thread comeback!!!! Centurus has placed me in charge of getting the resurrection ported over to BC

. As it stands the mesh has been converted compliments of baz (thank you) and has been handed over to Bones for textures and scripting which is underway now. Once Bones is finished with the textures/specs/scripting i will be needing some beta testers. Those who are interested please send me a PM. Only 3 or 4 people will be picked to test her out. As soon as i hear from Bones on how close he is to completing her i will send a PM to those who i have picked to test her out.

We can thank the almighty baz

for the clean conversion

Aye ! cookies for Baz !

A quick STL check has revealled over 1000 open faces.

See pic below.

These are most likely why it has errors after exporting.

Bones · « **Reply #147 on:** November 15, 2011, 04:43:43 PM »

yep these are the places that turns messy everytime I try to export the model

1K looks bad, how can that be fixed ??

baz1701 · « **Reply #148 on:** November 15, 2011, 05:02:50 PM »

Basicly every vert on the red lines are two unwelded vert so that is what needs doing.

Not going to be a quick fix, I have tried a quick weld and it did not help much.

Happy to advise but have not got the time fix for you guys.

baz1701 · « **Reply #149 on:** November 15, 2011, 05:36:28 PM »

ok just pulled it apart, it is not a unified mesh so it is where all the parts join up is the problem.

Fixing it will screw the UV unwraps up I'm afraid.

Centurus · « **Reply #150 on:** November 15, 2011, 06:04:48 PM »

The verts always seem to come apart when any kind of porting is done. When I built the ship, there were no unwelded verts. Why it keeps doing it, I have no idea.

Centurus · « **Reply #151 on:** November 15, 2011, 06:06:36 PM »

Also, I purposely didn't want it to be a unified mesh.

If I can get my old laptop working I'll see if it will export from max 3

Dawg81 · « **Reply #153 on:** November 15, 2011, 06:12:41 PM »

we appreciate any help u can give us baz

Centurus · « **Reply #154 on:** November 15, 2011, 06:13:10 PM »

I'm sending Dawg an NIF of the ship. It's quick and dirty, and I have no idea if it'll work. I exported it to 3DS, then exported to MOD (SFC), and then exported that to NIF. But I didn't go back and reweld any verts. I got tired of rewelding verts about a few hundred million verts ago.

Dawg81 · « **Reply #155 on:** November 15, 2011, 08:42:30 PM »

i got the files but there are 2 of them in there

Dawg81 · « **Reply #156 on:** November 16, 2011, 03:25:40 PM »

sent the files to Bones everyone cross their fingers also if anyone care to look at the wireframe image baz posted a few posts up and give some input on how this can be ported properly im all ears

Bones · « **Reply #157 on:** November 16, 2011, 04:33:06 PM »

So far so good, no floating polies, no errors, just need to scale her up a bit and rename texture materials to fit mine, then we shall see how she works in MPE

UPDATE :

scale is still off, when I try to scale her up via Nifskope, MPE locate tool doesn't pick coordinates at all and the model is blinking, if I scale her up via 3ds max, MPE won't read the model at all, if I try it in milkshape ... well, you know what happens with milkshape

except for not being able to properly set scale thus not being able to hardpoint her it's all good ... any iddeas how to set her into 310 meters ???

baz1701 · « **Reply #158 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:15:50 PM »

I have taken the NIF you sent Bones. had to little repair to the smoothing that was lost in conversion.

I have exported to 3DS and loaded up in max3 and exported using the official exporter from the SDK and I can not see the holes in nif skope.

Won't really know how well it has worked until Bones slaps some textures on her, as it is just a bright white ship for me.

Bones · « **Reply #159 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:25:09 PM »

could you ssend her to my email ? also would that be possible to scale her to around 305-310 meters before sending her to me ?

it seems the only ship I can't export properly not to mention about scaling

never mind

just cchecked my mail
