You alredy showed this huge thing on the model showroom I think.
Its a great job! Can I use it on my mod?I posted about the model before, but I never actually released it. I figured it wasn’t doing any good just sitting on my hard drive especially because I am unable to get it ingame myself. If you or anyone else gets it ingame feel free to use it, just give me credit for the model.
I did now the following things:
-
resized it to correct size (10k long)
-
optimized used mats (now it uses Freelancer mat files, safes diskspace and biosphere.dds included in .cmp file)
-
added Hardpoints for the shipyards for using correct relative positions or adding them via loadout
I know, the original shipyards are the 2x shipyards, so my resize of the base is just the half of the real size, but I think thats enough, isn’t it?
Was it really off scale when you imported it? In my limited experience when importing the Gunboat, the scale was just fine. If I recall correctly, the Colony Ship should be ~12km long. Did you use the scale texture I mentioned for the windows or are you just using the vanilla texture as well?
Great job you all, I’m surprised at the rate of progress that was made on this. I really should have put the model up for download sooner.

No, Nighstalkers ms3d files were rescaled so I scaled them back to a good value.
Yes it uses the vanilla windows now. -
I rescaled it so I could work on it easier. I also found a hole in one of the windows and repaired it (Wouldn’t want anybody to get sucked out into space
). I used Ultimate Unwrap Pro to finally get it into Milkshape by converting it into a 3ds. -
That’s great work and the vid is movie material, Why485. Good job.

That’s awesome to see it as it is now! Nice job again.

Simply Amazing! 8-)

Its good for my Inter-Colonial mega transport. As possible as it seems to get it inside, I’m surely going to replace the old stinkey model I use for it now with this one!
Dont worry about the credit, I always give them.
Thanks for the great job Why, and all the rest of course!BTW where did you get the inspiration to make it from? Halo rings? Because the interior really looks like one…

I put up a really simple video of the thing ingame. As I say in the description, the video isn’t really so much about the model itself as it is the fact that it made it ingame in the first place due to community efforts. There’s no way I could have done this on my own.
By the way I’m just remembering now that I never modeled engines onto the thing. I actually just plain forgot.
-
That looks awesome! Well done everyone.

OMFG! !
Great work guys I was crying hard core after it was done. I usaly do not cry like this over such things but OH MY FREAKING GODDESS.
Bows to why485 for making the model and video, to nightstalker and skotty for making the model in-game capable.
Very veryepic work there guys.

It was pointed out to me that the link to download the ship was dead. I have re-uploaded the file with the working ship model here: http://www.mediafire.com/?8orsh5w92dwr5de

If there is any interest I could create a fitting sur file for this ship.
-
I just made the sur file. Didn’t test it out, but I’m pretty sure it’s working fine.
