Freeworlds: Tides of War - A Starwars Total Conversion Mod!

Sushi

On SP or on MP?

The moddels look ace btw.

MP. We aren’t really doing much with SP other than have it an SP-open mod.

Wolfie

theyre AWESOME!

The wonderful thing about getting readily built space station models like this is that it saves having to attempt to come up with unique modular station designs for everything else! ;D

OMG would u tell us how u’ve insert a 130k polys model without vid lag?

Sushi

Definitely. We cut up the ISD in seven parts and then put it back together. I’d have to make a tutorial for the nit gritty, but Sovereign made me 7 different .cmps. In the main .cmp I put in the HpAttach01-HpAttach06. For the other 6 .cmps I put in HpConnect at 0,0,0 - since all the .cmps were based around that. I put in the proper code in the solar\loadouts.ini file, and the proper entry into the solararch.ini. The whole trick of it was making the 6 .cmps “shieldgenerators”. The game then attaches them to the ship that way Dev pioneered this trick about 2 years ago. Aldebaran used it for his scenery components.

So, this 130k poly model, is essentially 7 15k models to the FL engine. To us, it looks as one 130k model.

Would you be willing to cook up that tut plz? I am in need of the means to contend w/ a cpl of High Poly ms3d objects to create into complete cmps, one of them is a ship.

Ya, when I find the time to do it, I’ll make one. The issue right now is that I’m doing a few tutorials for some peeps in different mods and its getting busy in med school now, so, you’ll have to wait a few weeks until things settle down for me.

Sushi

Just wanted to show you all the new models/textures we’re putting into FW: ToW. All credit of getting these ships in game goes to Sov here. I just did the coding.

Wolfie

Sushi

Excellent work as always FW team. Those are terrific models. Although I really have no idea what you plan on doing with a 12km long ship.

Sushi

Dockable base That’s about it…hehe.

Wolfie

awwwww, but why no players flying it? ;D jk

OPR8R

good work

w0dk4

very very nice

Im really looking forward to FW, you seem to have a very talented and high quality producing team over there

Sushi

Thanks for the compliments, boys. Only reason why we have such well trained people are:

We’re friggin’ stubborn (all Devs are this way)
Great tutorials and help here at TSP
We have the power of the ZOMGBAYZ on our side

Also, I’m really excited to see what the merger of War Torn and Shattered Worlds can make. There’s another awesomely trained crew.

Anywho, more cool stuff coming down the pipe. I’ll post eye candy when I get the chance to show you guys!

FriendlyFire

Guess there’s a reason for FW to get on the ModDb Top 100 mods of the year? ;D

Seriously, every new post you make, Sushi, makes me jealous. The “new” Freeworlds will be a behemoth to behold!

However, remember you’ve got big shoes to fill now. If the release isn’t properly awesome^2, I’ll be the first to slap you hehe…

(But I have no fear)

Sushi

Ya, I know. We gotta live up the hype I’ll make damn sure that we do, though.

Heh, I think it’s fair to say that if it isn’t up to our own personal standards - we’d be slapping ourselves before anyone else got a chance!
