DJ said that he was doing it, but seeing as he's not exactly active anymore, I might put it back on.

It's the middle of summer atm. If memory serves, DJ did say he was gonna go on a 1-month break or so.

wow thats looking like a pretty sharp ship, me likey

i can tell the textures are gonna be VERY interesting.

also dont worry about doing the animated textures for the inferno, i think its a better idea if some base texturing was done, and then the animated/opaque textures were revisited after the ship had some colour to her.

Silly me, I posted the Med Freighter update in the wrong thread... Moderator powers activate!

Farshot, quick question to put my mind at ease, is the inferno still being activley worked on or is it on the back burner until the afore mentioned problems with texturing are solved?

FarShot · « **Reply #385 on:** July 22, 2012, 11:12:17 PM »

Sorry for not finishing this sooner Flare. I'll see what I can do in the coming week. I've a lot on my plate.

its ok take your time, i was just kinda getting worried that all news of the ship had just... stopped, if ya know what i mean?

FarShot · « **Reply #387 on:** July 22, 2012, 11:26:55 PM »

Well I was really hoping I could do my texture plans. No one had done them before quite like I envisioned. I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place - delay working on it, or get it released but not how I envisioned it.

flarespire · « **Reply #388 on:** July 22, 2012, 11:40:07 PM »

why not just show progress with the texturing? i know you had started a texture for the saucer before you even modeled it, i just wanna see some colour on her.

New Spacedock anyone?

She's been photo-matched for accuracy and I'm fairly happy with the results. The goal is to make the most detailed and sexiest ESD for BC yet, while still making her playable and damageable. She will likely be around 30k polygons at the end, but if my mapping scheme works out, she'll make hardly a dent on your computer's memory.

The best part? Wiley is texturing her.

I know requests are no-no (

) but if you were at all interested in having this replace the stock Starbase in Single Player, my one piece of advice is that you have to size and orient it exactly as the stock base, otherwise the hardpoints and mission scripts don't work. That's been problem with all the other bases made recently; they may look great but simply don't work because you can never get the stock scripts to work with them.

I'd much rather this be a separate starbase and TMP one at that with the correct scaling. TU has all ready done an excellant TNG one which replaces the stock starbase, I say let this be it's own thing.

FarShot · « **Reply #393 on:** August 05, 2012, 01:02:43 PM »

Actually I was thinking of three versions. TMP scaled, TNG scaled, and a refit.

Killallewoks · « **Reply #394 on:** August 05, 2012, 01:11:14 PM »

Fair enough, I look foreward to seeing this!

starfox1701 · « **Reply #395 on:** August 05, 2012, 03:15:57 PM »

So it is going to have a fully detailed interior to

FarShot · « **Reply #396 on:** August 05, 2012, 04:09:11 PM »

Yes it will.

FarShot · « **Reply #397 on:** August 06, 2012, 01:02:47 AM »

Mapping sneak peak. Textures are placeholders just to test with.

Like I said, all the post-stock bases are great but none of them can replace the stock one in single player campaign game for reasons I mentioned above.

It's not a matter of canon scaling: any replacement has to match the stock precisely, or hardpoints etc won't work. If Farshot is thinking of doing three versions anyway, it wouldn't be that much more trouble to do a stock-match ;)

Be glad if you could pull off a TMP scaled one. When I did the dock for SFRD I scaled it for the galaxy and them tried scaling down for the connie but would not load even with the HP altered. Think there maybe a min size to a starbase.
