Yo dude, welcome aboard! I assume just about everyone already knows you though... so... welcome aboard... again? :P hah! xD I'm a funny man...

I see you've got a bit of a list of ships. Any pics/thumbnails? :)

Hi Mackie. You won't remember me, but years ago I ported some of your ships to BC. Welcome to this pit of perversion and decay :P

Post by: Starforce2 on February 11, 2009, 11:34:17 PM
mackie, if you can come up with a list of which ones I missed (I know some were planned for the tos mod should I ever finish it) but otherwise I thought I pretty much had them all. I have one remaining excelcior lakota and 2 ironcross over here, but I think they each need something here or there and I decided to give the couple people on my msn list a break from doing my bidding lol. Besides they need to finish the suez (hint hint bones).

I like the Kelkka, seems simple and very very Pre-TOS-TOS Design lol.

Post by: JimmyB76 on February 21, 2009, 02:54:55 PM
there are so many really cool ships on that site, i hope some people will decide to bring them to BC...
personally, im really rather fond of the Chesterfield class (http://outalance.battleclinic.com/darkcentral/dldir/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=41), Flash class (http://outalance.battleclinic.com/darkcentral/dldir/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=75), and Ironcross class (http://outalance.battleclinic.com/darkcentral/dldir/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=74) from the SFC 2 Fed Ships section...  i would really love to have those in my BC install...   *prays someone will do them someday* lol

The Chesterfield and Ironcross are interesting, but the Flash is just the Nova, slightly elongated and flattened. Looks quite lacking "fullness" to me.
Title: Re: my ships, if anyone cares to put into BC
Post by: Starforce2 on February 21, 2009, 04:10:02 PM
chesterfield and the last lakota (a dual hull dn) is on the way at some point.

All of the iron cross and davids class variants have been released already.

I found a few sucha s the grief class and curtis class I might do. I am not sure on the grief but the curtis class I am sure I released but can't find on BCfiles. If anyone locates it let me know.


I've found the fixed version of chesterfield here, it may be done. I need to review the hp. It was never released because the phaserbank texture was missing from the original download. Turns out since a texture was mapped for it it simply need to be replaced and would convert fine.

The larger of the series (aboufusay/reverent/evenmore) lakota classes will be done soon as well.

The TOS variant hasn't.

Well, I have no idea what to ballance tos or anything pre-tos to. If I ever get around to my tos mod it will provide a basis for everyone to ballance their tos to (though they wont ballance to other eras..which they shouldn't anyways) Infact I think the davids was on the list. I need to get back to that mod.

Drop Phaser a PM. He managed to balance his TOS mod (TCMP v1) very well. :D

mackie, you need to fix that Vetehinen_class-LWO as it is corrupt and the greif class loads as an lwo missing s dorsal saucer texture and converts that way too, yet the texture is included, might wanna check that. I was able to get the curtis and Ilmarinen ok.

ahhhh ****. ill see about that if i still have the original, the grief class i just checked out and it seems alright in my end, dunno whats wrong. whats version of lw are you using?
Title: Re: my ships, if anyone cares to put into BC
Post by: Starforce2 on February 27, 2009, 06:45:34 PM
I'm using 3d exploration. If there is an sfc ready version around I'll use that. Or if you can get one. Otherwise it seems buggered. It doesn't load the texture and apparently tosses it when saved as 3ds. It converted the others ok..so it should work on this one too.
Title: Re: my ships, if anyone cares to put into BC
Post by: Starforce2 on March 02, 2009, 12:37:56 AM
I've fixed the grief class. I figured out how to rename a material in 3d exp. turned out the texture name had been changed and it needed to be reset.

Good news is the above mentioned corrupted zip file has been recieved entirely complete from one of mackie's backups, so thanks to him (and what ever he was drinking at the time) and the ship should be available soon.

Hm, cool. You wouldnt happen to have those in any useful format like lwo, 3ds or so? I cant really do much with bc files :/
Heh, I propably should have said 'poop' instead but saying "bashing some new poop" wouldnt have conveyed the message all that well would it now :P

And dont worry I know how to handle the permissions buisness, I just want to try first wether or not they are bashable before requesting for anyones permission and as such getting anyones hopes up :)

I don't have them in any format besides BC Nif, and thats only because they are already mods avaliable for BC. And I don't have the tools to convert them either. Sorry.

Yes. Since that date, it has been used in almost every TOS mod which featured the TOS Connie, just with better textures. Lints Connie was okay but it had many wrong bits.

Andurils, is basically perfect.

Thanks... but the 3ds files were fubar and obj files i couldnt load for some reason. I suppose I also should have been more specific about textures, i'd need them in BMP format, both the actual textures and the illumination textures. speculars i usually do my self :)

and as for teh connie, I ment connie-a but TOS is cool too :D

I think the best TMP Constitution available right now is Khaliban's, and the model is on Battleclinic.

As for the textures, you can convert the .TGAs to .BMPs in Photoshop. You can even paste the alpha channel as a new file for the illumination maps.

Hmm, what's wrong with the 3ds files? I can open them with gmax, Blender, Milkshape, 3D Exploration and LithUnwrap.

That's probably because the programm I used to convert the models compressed the textures (and also removed the Alpha channel). Some programms don't like that. I've also included the original textures, just use those instead. For the Miranda you also have to rename them accordingly e.g. SaucerBot_glow.tga to SAB787~1.tga, Hull_glow.tga to HULL_G~2.tga,... .

EDIT:
The Connies.

hurrduurrr derp.

bashed some of those old p81 models recently, mostly out of boredom :P
(http://gallery.stupidfusion.com/random_pictures/karelia.jpg)
after i took that rendering i went and added torpt00bs so heres the update in a separet pic.
(http://gallery.stupidfusion.com/random_pictures/karfront1.jpg)

also decided to try my hand at actually modeling something, for change.
i have come to the conclusion that it is not for me :p
however this is being textured nevertheless...

That first ship looks like Scotty designed it.
