Hello boys and girls, I need 4 people to test the Normandy :)
I guess everything is in place and working properly but I wanna be sure.
I haven't posted this earlier because this project involved only porting and making new glows and speculars... also I had to adjust diffuse map a little bit to achive at least tiny bit of that cool shinyness it had in Mass Effect 2.
I tried to put together a reasonable hardpoint because 100% canon HP would have only 2 Javelin torpedo tubes (not counting Thanix Cannon cuz it looked bizzare in game ... I prefer when they stay hidden under hull plating :P) so the specs are as follows :
- Hull rating : 15000 (twice the size - twice tougher than SR-1)
- Kinetic barriers : 5000 per each side of the ship, recharge rte is 100 (EDI explained in certain point of game that Normandy's shields were designed for quick, strong attacks, then quick recharge, they cannot hold fire for too long)
- It's still fast as hell and really maneuverable but it's not a shuttle ;)
- 2x Javelin Torpedo tubes (actually it's 10 tubes to achieve proper effect when firing torpedoes) firing 5 torps per side
- 2x Disruptor cannon (fictional but still fun to use :P)
- Cloaking device
check it out
-
Looks fantastic mate, great job. Have a cookie :thumbsup:
-
I'll beta! :D I just recently played through both ME1 and 2 so I have a fresh idea on the feel of both Normandy's.
-
Il have a bash bones!
-
i'd love to take a crack at it Bones!
-
this is part of being a member of the team ,bones, If still want I'll beta fly your ship.
-
Thank's for compliments guys :)
Ok then, we have a 4 people, PM's with download link sent ;) have fun
-
hmm does it have the uber beam cannon?
-
No, it was ugly and I would have to MVAM it to be retractable changing model during combat just to fire it = no fun at all :P
-
Wow that looks amazing! I don't think there are any solid clean shots of her yet but this ship has a completely new paint job in Mass Effect 3 because she's under Alliance control now instead of Cerberus.
-
The Textures and specs on that thing look great.
-
No, it was ugly and I would have to MVAM it to be retractable changing model during combat just to fire it = no fun at all :P
ah what a shame, she looks amazing though! its a shame ur SR1 has so many inacuracies :(
-
Beta Report:
1. The SR2 feels a tad too maneuverable. She very easily gets into a sitting spin, where she almost doesn't move at all and just sort of turns in place. I would knock down the turn values to around 3/4 of where they are now. Another reason you could get away with this is that Joker does have some issues maneuvering her once they arrive in the Collector's debris field.
2. There are no GARDIAN lasers on your ship. In the Collector debris field, GARDIAN lasers are fired on the oculuses at one point, each one seeming to fire just inboard of the larger engines. See attachment.
Other than these two nitpicks, she's a fantastic ship and I can't wait to play with the others!
To solve the whole "thanix cannon" dilemma, why not issue two ships? A stock Normandy SR2 and a fully upgraded SR2, with thanix cannons, upgraded armor, and upgraded shields?
-

Not mine, it was YopYops \, I have already ripped SR-1, it's ready, just minor model/textures adjustments are needed (mirrored registries) as far as I know the only weaponary used in ME was two Javelin Disruptor torps launchers at the end so I'll follow that canon in my HP.
btw. model is from Bioware so it's 100% accurate :P

Lol I completely forgot about em :P to be honest I thought it's that Javelin stuff :D
will correctg it ASAP.

ah you spoiled it :P I was thinking about it, might consider it before releasing the ship ;)

A before install Report
======================== Before install ================================================================
Are all visible in Nifscope?
1. All textures (weapons, icons, main textures)
Looks very Good,
[textures maybe large for some systems , try dropping down to 1024x1024ish
also cut down on lag, main thing is it ought to reduce lag ].
2. Is the plugin suitable? If not, explain why.
looks very good.
3. File Structure ?
looks very good.
5. Good points.
nice style and design.
6. Bad points.
textures maybe to big.
in the HP at Normandy.SetModelFilename("data/Models/Ships/Normandy/Normandy.nif")
[should be NormandySR2/NormandySR2.nif - might not hurt, just Keeps things strait for if any future work must be done]
in your custom-ships folder the pluggin PY
Foundation.ShipDef.NormandySR2.CloakingSFX = "" why, you have no sound, no need
Foundation.ShipDef.NormandySR2.DeCloakingSFX = "" why, you have no sound, no need
7. Other.
Why 2 nifs? [SR2_1 and SR2]
SR2_1 no required
TIP: just easier, for future works, if all scripts have same name as Nif.
-
Il have a report for you tomorrow bones got get some sleep. :(
-
textures will be droped to 1024x1024 = no need to keep Biowares 2048 maps as the model I got from ME2 from endgame sequence ;) it involved some exterior hull action while in BC there's no need for such details ;)
-

hmm maybe keep both for those who like super high rez? would make me very happy ;)
-
I will release 2 variants : high res and normal res, it will be better this way
oh and how about this ? :D
-

Looks pretty sweet to me but I don't know how Canon it is. Every shot of the ship I've seen in ME3 Demos have been in silhouettes. I still think it looks awesome though :thumbsup:
-
UPDATE :
- gardian lasers are in place
- model is now fixed, no smoothing errors
- maneuverability is now 75 % of what it was
- pulse cannons realligned to wing (inbetween engines)
- model realligned to centre
- diffuse maps downscaled to 1024x1024, specular maps downscaled to 512x512 with exception for main hull which is 1024x1024
- 2048x2048 maps placed in separate folder (optional content for people with powerfull rigs)
- added a bonus ship :) Alliance Normandy SR2 with red N7 stripe and navy blue Alliance insignias instead of Cerberus logo
-
Finally finished school and bones she is a great ship my only gripe is that the shields recharge too fast. Tested in KM 1.2 and worked fine no issues to report.
-
Oh carp Bones, I forgot one more thing: I recommend putting the ship in something other than "Other". Perhaps "System Alliance Ships" or "Mass Effect Ships".
-
Ok I'll make a new group 'Mass Effect Ships' and recharge rate was 100 I've already toned it down to 35 ;)
did anyone noticed that gardian lasers fire through the ship ... I'm not sure what I did wrong with them :idk:
-
Im not sure why either but I got an IDEA.
Sometime [in MPE] when you add somethin new to a ship ,and sometimes even if you dont, the HP is just not quite right, a system may not be right.
I looked at NormandySR2 in MPE and everything look right, there is space between the Arc-box and hull, it shouldnt fire thru. And even XYZ axis [red, green, blue] lines are correct. looking strait on, blue-pointing left, red foward, green up. {if any others report I'd just make new]
or arcs need minor adjustment, using the Spin tool
Then agian it also maybe my system. [ancient]
-
I will release 2 variants : high res and normal res, it will be better this way
oh and how about this ? :D
alliance logo needs to be darker blue! this is the official model of the normandy from ME3 http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/1366/1765461-17311_super.jpg might wanna look at it :)
-
Hm something tells me they won't use that for an official paint job but I might be wrong, for my taste there way too much of the blue and way too much of alliance logos... personaly I liked SR1 paint job. Dunno why they put blue on that model... Alliance fleet is using only red for markings (see Alliance Dreadnaughts, fighters or SR1). Honestly I'm considering making insignia black and the rest of those blue bits - red

Here she is.
-
such nice ship, so ruined paint job :facepalm: I'll take care of that new color scheme then :P
-
Are you still thinking about the separate model for the upgraded Normandy? I love Mass Effect, and it would just make this ship even better than it is right now, which is otherwise impossible :D
-
Hey Bones,
Another good place to see the new Normandy paint job from ME3, is on the model that Bioware will be releasing in November.
This is a link to the ship on the Bioware store, I know the shots are small, but considering how well you did with the Resurrection, I'm sure you will have no problem recreating that paint scheme.

Cheers!
-
You were beaten to it Meteorafallen.
-
Whatevs lol Now he's got more pictures lol
-
Thank's for the pics guys, now this should be walk in the park ;)
UPDATE :
Gardian lasers are now firing in proper direction, they don't clip through hull anymore.. now the way I got it working is strange to say at least :P I had to switch them so now starboard beam is in port beams location and its arc is facing the ship :hithead: confusing but works just fine
Also as my beta testers suggested, I've refined plugins so now there will be separate group - 'Mass Effect Ships' and they will be cathegorized by factions like System Alliance, Cerberus etc.
Added some tech aswell, ship is now using Multivectoral shields and Ablative Armor, been considering adding advanced armor but it seems there's no effect in game :P
... and I've added short descriptions for both ME2 and ME3 Normandy :P
I'll be absent for next 2 days but after that I'm gonna repaint SR2 with alliance paint job
UPDATE 2 :
Engines repaint completed
started redrawing main hull, gonna take some time as I need to redraw almost whole hull from scratch to avoid cheap lighten/darken effect :P
-
She's a beauty!
-
She's a beauty!
thank's :) oh and you were right about color scheme, good find ;)
UPDATE :
Alliance Normandy SR2 is now completed :)
I have to admit I'm starting to like this color scheme.
here are some pics of it, comparison shots of both Cerberus and Alliance Normany and perspective shot
-
Sweet!
I really need to get Mass Effect 2. I just wish ME1 was on PS3...or that I had a better computer.
-
Never played the game mate, and dont really like the shape of the ship, but the work is awsome, model looks great and the texture work is FAB!
Have another cookie :thumbsup:
-
Awesome Awesome Awesome
She looks Great in Alliance Colours.
-
Very sweet I like it.
-
amazing! :thumbsup:
-
It's now being uploaded ... I think :P
I couldn't upload it directly to BCFiles, so I put link through file hosting... if everything goes well it should be up soon ;)
-
Awesome! Now we just need the SR-1 and whatever other ships you plan on porting. :thumbsup: Have a cookie!
-

thanks mate ! I;m preparing SR-1 ATM, she's ready, just need to add some blinkers and perhaps I could find some Mass Effect weapons sounds ripped from game, those would be awesome :D
-
Great job on this Bones... looks awesome.
Cookie!
-

That would be pretty cool to have the sounds from the game. Can anyone help him out with that? :P
-
Ripping sounds might be quite difficult, considering that when the shooting starts the music start playing. Might be some sound files on the PC version? :idk:
-
All sounds are stored in .PCC files, now while I can crack .afc files (with music and dialogs) I can't even find a way to extract .pcc files :idk:
Normandy SR-1 is now ingame and working perfectly, she doesn't pack the punch as SR-2 does mainly because SR-1 has only 2 Javelin torpedo tubes, also this ship is at least half weaker and faster than SR-2
here's a beauty shot ;)
-
id fix the smoothing errors on the sr1 before releasing it, the engines are the ones with most problems. same for the SR2 actualy
-
I fixed SR2 before I sent it out, SR1 has more of them I know, but it seems everytime I export it to .obj fix errors and re-export it to NIF they re-appear, will work on that tho
-

take out the OBJ exporting u can export to BC from any version of 3ds max nowadays anyway
-
Well, it's said in the codex that the SR1 has GARDIAN lasers too, but we don't get to see them fire because they are usually point-defense weapons after all. But you could get away with placing them on the wings probably.
-
yeah I'm using both Nifscope and max 9 with NIF plugins, works fine with most models but SR1 react quite strangely, but no worries will be trying again with different smoothing groups, gonna try lower groups ... everything above 10 gets tons of errors
I keep forgeting about GARDIAN lasers :P
-
That is awesome, Bones. The spare time I used to spend cruising this forum I now spend on my 360,
so seeing those two worlds come together is pretty awesome.
...I did not know ME was on the PC. Nonetheless, I played ME and ME2 on the 360, so what I said is still valid. :P
-
This is a great project :thumbsup:
-
Thanks guys ;)
I searched probably every site with Mass Effect stuff but I found none info about Destiny Ascension armaments, while there is enough footage from ME1 battle for citadel scenes with Turian ships fireing their weapons as well as Alliance, Geth and Reaper ships then Destiny didn't fire at all...
Alliance ships have at least 4 forward weapons placements - 2 main guns with pulse like kinetic cannons and two torpedo launchers on both sides, Turians have a bit more weapons, mostly cannons like alliance dreadnaughts
...but the only info I have about that Asari ship is that it has that badass-big-gun-that-can-rip-through-any-ship... and lots of mass accelerator cannons ...
I was thinking about putting at least 30 mass accelerators (pulse cannons) 20 torpedo launchers and that big gun ... whereever it is :P
any suggestions ?
btw. is there weapon limit for hardpoint ??? I remember someone said that if you put more than 50 disruptor/phaser emitters to HP it will crash
-
I remember hearing that sixty is the limit.
-
well then, I could put 30 cannons, 20 torpedoes, 9 beams and one super cannon :) that should do it :D
-
The Destiny Ascension absolutely sucks in the battle against the Sovereign and the Geth because they come in at close range, and traditional space battles occur at dozens, hundreds, or thousands of kilometers range. Therefore, I think her most powerful armaments are all linear firing mass accelerators, probably requiring the whole ship to turn. Thus I'd strike those out, unless its possible to script a torpedo that fires at thousands or millions kph and with like a 1 degree firing arc.
I'd probably deck the ship with point-defense lasers on every surface, maybe half a dozen spaced around each arm. It's unknown whether Javelin disruptor torpedoes are unique to humans only or not, but the concept (miniature mass effect cores used to disrupt the space an enemy vessel occupies upon impact) seems sound enough and something I would have thought up if I had space-warping material. You could probably get away with similar weaponry. They are fired in the "knife-fight" range because they don't move at relativistic speeds and must be fired close so as not to be intercepted by point-defense weaponry or by kinetic barriers.
-
'Houston we have a problem'
What am I doing wrong :idk: I can import SR-1 into max 9, I can fix ALL the problems with smoothing but I can't export her back to NIF :facepalm: I'm getting error, picture of it is below.
Now that completely sucks because if I save it as OBJ it looses it's size, if I save it as 3DS it has smoothing errors again in Nifscope, seems the only way is to export it directly to NIF but I'm getting that stupid error... any suggestions ?
-
Save it as a MAX and send it my way. I can see if it works on my end.
-
Here, I read about the problem and it's most likely the way it was exported through either MS3D or Nifscope ...
-
Well, here you go. It exports correctly now. It opens fine in NIFSkope, but seems to not like MPE for some reason. :idk:
All I did is eliminate the hierarchy and delete the unnamed parts. That seems to fix it.
-
Now just re add the higharchy to the model, it will fix it.
-
Awesome, will give it a go tomorrow :)
-
It worked but now about that higharchy ... I can't add NiImage to NiTextureProperty... there is NiTexturingProperty with NiSourceMaterial added to it... either MPE or BC won't run it with those funny little details :P
I tried everything but at this point when I try to add anything to NITextureProperty I can only add a parent node which doesn't help me at all... damn... so close yet so far :facepalm:
...oh well at least the model is cleaned :D no smoothing errors :dance
I'm attaching partially fixed NIF to the post, if anyone has any idea how to convert those properties either gimme some tips or feel free to try it :)
with this issue sorted out, the ship is ready for beta testing
-

you dont really need to manualy add them nifscopes plugin automaticly does that.
-
Solved, NIFplugin for some reason messes up everything, it puts entirely deifferent properties and messes eveything up
here's a pic of corrected and working model properties (left side of the screen) and the one I exported from 3ds max via NIF plugin (right side), see the difference ? ;)
UPDATE :
I've tested SR-1 in game, works perfectly, model looks clean, just need to adjust speculars
-
Top stuff mate, looks great :thumbsup:
-
Thanks Marky ;)
I've sent SR-1 to my beta testers, if everything will be ok, she's gonna hit BCF by the end of this week ;)
-
SR-2 blew my mind, really good work!
-
wheres my fully upgraded sr2?>,> i want big laser beam! XD
-
not this time, for now I'll focus on bringing as many ME ships as I can to BC, then there will be plenty of room for additional modification ;)
UPDATE :
Turian Frigate now in game, it's scaled, it has no smoothing errors, it has cool hardpoint (although I'll have to reduce max charge on all cannons) and it's ready for beta testing :D
armaments & specs so far :
Engines - 20 % slower and less maneuverable than SR2
Shields - stronger than SR2 but has less recharge rate
Weapons :
- 10x Javelin Torpedo tubes (1 torpedo per tube)
- 8x light Mass Accelerator Cannons
- 2x heavy Mass Accelerator Cannons
Ablative Armor
5x Turian Fighters in hangar bay
what do you think ?
-
I managed to beat Son'a battleship with SR-2.. took some effort despite of the speed and agility the ship has. the torp/missile tracking leaves me bit frustrated..
-
Just finished up testing on the SR-1. Nothing game breaking detected. BC was kinda stuttery, but I don't think it's because of the Normandy. I did notice this little thing though. The cylindrical tower on the back of the ship isn't very smooth. Pic enclosed.
I took her up against several different ships. Because this SR-1 doesn't have pulse weapons, the older SR-1 gave it trouble. The NX-01 fell easily. The NCC-1701 gave me a little bit more of a fight. The SR-2 though, that tore the SR-1 a new hole...as it should since it's more advanced. lol
-
Hm, I'll see if I can smooth her just a little bit more, thanks for heads up ;)
-
Hey Bones just finished beta testing her, no conflicting errors to report other than the affermentioned smoothing error. She is pretty well balenced, got tore a new one with ZZ's Reliant. Over all same high quality and fantastic little ship.
-
That's great, it's working on 5 BC installs without problems so I guess it's ready for public :D sending her right now ;)
I tried all the tricks I know to fix smoothing but it seems this was the upper treshold for model, if I go higher with smoothing groups, errors kicks in in several places.
Next for beta testing : Turian Frigate + Turian Fighter (launchable from frigate) ;)
-
Can't wait to see Destiny Ascension and Sovereign (if there is one)
-
No nitpicks on the SR1 beta, by the way. She's great. :thumbsup:
-
I managed to beat Son'a battleship with SR-2.. took some effort despite of the speed and agility the ship has. the torp/missile tracking leaves me bit frustrated..
Are these actuallly fighters because when it crashed against Sovereign it looked like the size of Excelsior
-
I have both Turian Frigate and Turian Fighter, Frigate is about the size of SR-2 (350-380 meters) while fighters are around 15 meters long / tall (they look like a crossing of Slave-1, Colonial Viper MK7 and the fighter we get at the beginning of Freelancer :P )
Turian Frigate will hold 10 fighters in its hangar
-

what do you think ?
Me likey
Me wanty
-
There was a minor setback ... I accidently deleted Turian pack :facepalm: but don't worry, had early backup with out HP's, fixed model etc. etc. I'm recovering it ATM... this time will be much more carefull when moving it from place to place :P
-
Hey Bones? I'm having issues with your beta issue. Firstly, Turian Fighters are not launching. Shuttle launcher framework is enabled. Secondly, those mass accelerator cannons don't fire. I'm assuming they are mapped as pulses, right?
It might be on my end, so I'd wait and see what the other beta testers report.

No problem with the Fighters, but I have the same issue with the cannons.
-
Strange, I'll check them again, must have missed something :P thx for heaqds up guys :thumbsup:
UPDATE :
Solved. I am officially a NOOB :) I've put 'max charge' =1 and 'min firing charge' =5 :facepalm: it's fixed now
here are updated scripts : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3658970/Scripts.rar
UPDATE 2 :
Turian Frigate and Fighter are ready, I've sent them in a pack to BCF so expect it soon ;)
until it's not up on BCF here is the link to it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3658970/DM_Turian_Frigate_v.1.0.rar
enjoy ! :)

Bones, I love you.

Bones, I love you.
Then you're gonna love this news :
Alliance Dreadnaught is almost ready tho I'll have to put it on tiny hold for this week, still sightseeing Canada :P
-
I don't recall there being any Alliance dreadnoughts in the games. Correct me if I'm wrong though. :hithead:
-

The Alliance fleet shows up to save the Council, (or let them Die depending on the players choice), and defeats Sovereign.
-
As I recall, those are cruisers though, not dreadnoughts...
-
As I recall, those are cruisers though, not dreadnoughts...
That would likely have something to do with the FX Screw up ME1 had.
-
The Mass Effect wiki lists them as cruisers. If I had ME installed, I'd check the Codex, but I think ME Wiki's info is from the Codex.
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Cruiser#Cruisers (http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Cruiser#Cruisers)
-
to be honest I didn't change filenames too much , I left all those ship names as they were in original data packages used in ME, in example Turian fleet was supposed to have frigates, dreadnaughts and carriers... I found only frigate but the model appeard way too big in cutscenes to be qualified as frigate so I've mixed all three ships into one, so it's just a little bigger than SR-2, has firepower of dreadnaught and holds 10 fighters ;)

Scaling might have been pretty off in the game though. The Destiny Ascension looked like it dwarfed the Turian ships around it, yet the Turian ship looked to be about half the size of Sovereign when they collided. Based on that scale it would appear the Destiny Ascension is larger than Sovereign which contradicts the comments about how massively large Sovereign was supposed to be.
-
yep and that's why I follow ME wiki - ship classification when it comes to scale ;) besides there is a clear comparision of Turian frigate and Normandy when Joker maneuvers her when they reach Citadel in the beginning of the game, it shows that Turian frigate is about the same size as SR-2 which is twice the size of SR1

Also, took a quick peak at the Normandy SR-1 model herself, Bones. Excellent work on her; she's a real beauty and very nicely built*. The only nit-pick I had was the lack of smoothing in some areas. Regardless, I was quite impressed.
Edit: Can't wait to see the SR-2; she'll be a real sight in my 3ds Max window. :P

Blame NIF smoothing and BioWare :P I only remapped SR-1 for registry maps (originally ship name was a map with name, reg number and transparent backgroound that converted to TGA went black) :P
SR-2 ??? thought I released it before SR-1 ;)
-
I can vouch for the veracity of that statement. SR-2 definitely came before SR-1 in Bones' universe. :p
