Models from other sources too?

We have some functionality in the scripts, that we cannot address with the models we have planned. That is for example the possibility to do live online trading. That would require some kind (s) of freighter ship. Do we want to persue this (and possibly use models from an external source)

Also, SC I know you commited to doing a Tie Bomber as a counterpart to the B-Wing, but would it be possible to use a model from an external source for this, or does your ambition as a moddler not allow this?

I dunno how much work/time it would save, but I think wou could ask some of the active SW moddlers for permission to use their models if we wanted them.

...or does your ambition as a moddler not allow this?

Waaahh! I wanna do everything! (Damn, we don't have a crying smiley [].) That really is my ambition, but I have no right to hold the mod up if it's a problem.

If you need a freighter, I could give you the Falcon now. The model and setup have been done for a long time, it's the textures I haven't got to. Every time I get near finishing a model I say, "After this, I'm giong to finish the textures for the Falcon." But every time I finish a model, I get all excited and start a new model. Sorry for the delay, I know I haven't been working as hard as I should've been lately.

btw - I'm going to do a Tie Bomber anyway (for personal enjoyment, I was really looking forward to that one), but you don't have to use it, of course. Speaking of which, has anybody seen my webpage yet? Seeing pics of all the models at once is pretty cool. You can click the homepage button at the top of my post to go there .

Now, now, don't cry

Great! We do need the Tie Bomber as a compliment to the B-Wing to even things up for the imps. Then both teams would have more even chances in the Team Fortress/ Base assault type games.

The Falcon would be fine as a freighter, but it can only dock one or two pods now? To do any "real" online trading, we would need a capacity of at least 4 pods and preferably a ship with 8 pod capacity too.
I'm asuming we can use the standard lighted pods (as used for the test in the DS thread) and miniturise them by editing thier size in the setup scenes?

We desprately need a CUV. Currently the "Pioneer" ship is the "Engineer" class that can re-arm and repair other ships. It is the yellow truck but has roughly the right size (?). Maybe you could just leave the model as is and re-do the textures on it so it looks more star warsy like?

Interesting. I'm the reverse of that. I love texturing a model, but groan when it comes time to build the next one.

Oh no, I didn't mean it that way. I meant when I finish modeling and texturing a model I rush to the next one, and neglected the Falcon's textures. Not textures in general. I love doing both these days. The Falcon was an unusual case because of the faulty mesh not displaying the maps right. I fixed the mesh but never went back to finish the textures. Because that's when the SW mod project got started, and MajorTom wanted fighters right away.
