Good work, Gibbon.
-

Amazing job!

Thanks fellas, taken a lot of hard work to get them working i can tell you that much. They are all done now, finished the last one last night.
I’ll be offering this as a modders resource package first, so this will include all 25 ships plus the Coriolis space station, sur files, cockpit files with rear views and icons.
I’ve had quite a bit of interest in these ships with people asking me to make them plug and play for vanilla. Right now i have to say i’ll think about it.
I have them for inclusion in my Galacticum mod but that’s not vanilla as i have things setup completely differently for ships in there, only four guns for a start on fighters and the weapon groups have been completely redone. So as i said, i’ll think about it.
I’ll post a link when they are ready for download.

Uploaded to the download section… awaiting approval. Or grab it from my forum.
-
Yes, yes yes yes…thank you the most epic ship pack this year
EDIT: I noticed the small doors on the Python…I think I make the ship capital ship sized
-
It was just waiting for approval, though since Xoops is shit it wouldnt really tell us.
Here it is: http://the-starport.net/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=3&lid=2650

Thanks for that, Xoops needs a swift kick if you ask me.
After messing with the pack for a few days now coding it into my mod, found a small problem with the Coriolis station. I couldn’t figure out why i was having intermittent docking issues until i realised i’d mispelled one of the two docking hardpoints.
HpDockPointB should be HpDockMountB
One other thing, HpTurret07 should have an orientation of -90 and not 90 as it is now. Only two things i’ve found at least

A little video featuring a new Griff designed ship, the pirate gunboat. Model & textures by Griff. Crappy video by me lol
Model features a custom turret model, fully rotating. Ship comes with 2 forward weapons, 3 turrets & 2 missile turrets
-
Also uploaded this to Strategy Informer with corrected Coriolis Station

New alternative version of the Coriolis space station with restyled docking area. Model & textures by Griff.
Having real issues trying to make a sur file for this with Schmackbolzen’s utility. It simply freezes solid. I’ve done a sur with LS’s utility, only problem is then i can’t physically enter the docking bay. Would prefer to be able to fly into it.
-
Try to use the obj->sur converter.
-
Re-read my last post
-
You tried to splice manually? There is no absolute tool yet, so if you want a good SUR do it yourself.
-
You’re obviously not reading what’s written PB. Schmackbolzen wrote the obj->sur converter and that’s what i’m having trouble with as it keeps freezing. I’m trying to figure out why as i’ve not really had an issue with it yet. Try to keep up lol
-
I read it, but I didn’t understand the “freezing” thing, I thought you meant that the SUR went out like an ice block - without holes. Well, wether it works or not, manual splice is still the most solid way.

Would love to help out, tried and found out that i was doing a surfile for the “old” version of the Station. The download package still does´nt contain the alternative version. But maybe you can use my sur for the old look. My sur allows you to fly “into”.
cheers

Thanks cursor, i’ll try and use yours and see if i get any joy. I haven’t posted any of the other ELITE stations i have yet, only got hold of a copy of the alternate one a couple of days ago. Got about 6 different shaped ones now.
** EDIT **
I resized it with model tool, your sur that is and it all works ok. I must be brain damaged as i already had the same sur (created it for the original Coriolis a while back) but completely forgot about it. Only reason i’m using yours is because it’s smaller, good thing is they both work
On the subject of freezing, what i had happening was simple. I was using the OBJ utility, clicked on the generate sur section, and it would get about haflway through the generation cycle, then get stuck in a loop of some kind. The help button hints at what it might be and says it’s rare but possible, i’d just like to know what it could be as it was the first model i’ve had this with. Not like it’s a difficult shape or anything.
