Karronade Soft BC Modding

[King Class Scout]

@ King Class Scout: Yes the movie is about 40 years old but it is a classic. If you are a fan of Sci-Fi you should know it. ;)

To anyone who doesn't know this movie you can watch it on YouTube already:

actually, I'd never heard of it, but recognised the name.  I used to have a Cheapie CD with SciFi themes on it, and Raumptourille Orion was one of my favorite cuts.  i thought it was an original "filler" composition.

hope it's a subbed version

Damn it looks good! Space odyssey was a great movie(if you were drunk enough :roll)

I had this same idea a while ago, Karronade (a looping animation on a base/stationary object). While it's just not possible in the traditional sense, I came to the understanding that (if using SubModel) it could be possible if there was a a way to make the end of the animation a trigger to start it again, or, some kind of timer. So say, one full rotation of the gravity wheel, and that one animation would start again (The idea was for one of those hyperspace stations from Mass Effect). I've always wanted to give it a shot and see how it goes, but I'm still playing with torpedo scripts, got a while to go before I can tamper at that level.  

That pod looks fantastic, though!

I found someone who do some Space Patrol models for me  . Not completely finished, but you may take a look of it:





Its the "Frog" Spaceship, the "bad guys" in Space Patrol

[Karronade]

Here are two new screenies. This time taken from the game. The textures are still the same but the model has reworked by Chanur:



Here is a group of Froginvaders:



I'm currently working on a hyperdrivesystem for it. The hyperdrive isn't shown in the episodes. It is only described in the book as a gray 2D space, were lightspeed is much more higher than in our universe, so they can travel fast by changing in the hyperspace-universe and drop back into our universe, when they reached their designated destination.

The point is: How can I make a simple gray texture? If I make a texture without an alpha channel, the texture ingame is white glowing. If I make a texture with an alpha channel and set the alpha channel white, the texture "disappears" ingame and only the starbackground is visible. I'm currently using GIMP for image manipulation. Can someone help me, please??

[King Class Scout]

actually, I'd not bother with making one for those at all.  since they're so simple and plain, mabey just make sure the parts are the appropriate color on the model itself.

It's just a new texture. The whole thing is based on the Stargate hyperdrivesystem, respectively I did not change any scriptfile of it, all I want is to add a new hyperspace texture in the GFX folder...

in the future please upload pics rather than hotlinking them...  large pics as such can cause longer page-loading times for some...

my bad Kar...I thought you meant the ships

If you've based this on Hyperdrive system people who want to use this mod will have to download the whole stargate package which is huge in order to play this mod. For final release you have only the hyperdrive (newer version also) available for download here.

You can post a dl link towards the package or include the whole thing in your mod when you release it. Since I know that hyperdrive is difficult to obtain.

Thank you, USS Sovereign, this is very kindly of you

@kcs: Never mind ;)

@JimmyB76: I will bear this in mind from now on ;)

If someone has an idea with my textureprob untill tomorrow, I could work on that further on. If not, I will release a new subbed part of Space Patrol.......
