Samurai Studios "Starlancer Ship Pack"
-
Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone might point me in the right direction to find a particular ship pack. Monkey Universe is currently using some ships from:
Starlancer Ship Pack Volume 1.0 - By Roland ‘Hobbes’ Orr, Samurai Studios (description copied from SWAT Portal who also use some of these models).
I have searched a few forums and done the usual google. Some of the Models we have are found in THIS LINK including the Shroud and Grendel.
If there were more models in this ship pack I would like to see, and very likely use, them on Monkey Universe but I can’t find a download for this pack.
Any little helpers out there able to throw some bread crumbs on the right path?
Cheers,
Dru.

Well here’s the one i was talking about. There’s 14 models, all textures in DDS format to save space. The file contains the following ships,
Coyote
Phoenix
Crusader
Predator
Grendel
Reaper
Hades Bomber
Sai
Mirage
Shroud
Naginata
Tempest
Patriot
WolverineYou’ll need to make some icons but apart from that, i think that’s all of them, least the Alliance ones

I just wont to point out that those ship packs have nothing to do with SWAT
Crossfire has been using SL ships long before any of those ship packs got released and we have way more than 50 SL ships already included while another 40 ships are waiting to get released with a new Starlancer game we are working on.
Just wanted to make clear that we dont use those ship packs.btw. nice pics
I wonder how you got the original textures out of SL…. I created completly new textures for Coalition ships -
Thanks OP. I simply extracted them using the SL Editor
Regarding the ship packs, i’m not totally sure myself where they’ve come from. The original Samurai Studios version had tga textures. I know at Gizmos , we converted them all to dds format for use in our Hellgate mod years ago but these are not those models. I simply had a folder with all those ships in so i zipped them up. They’ve been converted now by so many people, think it’s irrelevant who did that now. The models and textures are not exactly difficult to get hold of if you have the right tools
-
I assume that I have the right tools but even the people that are working with me on the new SL game did not find the correct textures for coalition ships.
Could you please give me a hint where to search - It would push the development of that game and a few SL mods we are working on if we could use these textures as reference for the creation of high-res textures.
-
All the textures i could find are in the TCACHEHW.DAT. I’m assuming these are the higher definition textures as this file seems to contain the same textures as TCACHESW.DAT. You do have the right tools OP, i got them from your site
I still don’t think all the textures are there as i’m having trouble tracking down some of them myself. If you use the SL Tool, at least you can import the SHP models to see how the ships should look like using the viewer function

I take it you’re using SLEdit 2.16? Does it look like this for you?

Think that issue is now safely resolved ;D. Made another one, this is officially called the
Houijan
Never realised the Chinese had ships in SL, this is one of them. And while i’m on the subject of textures, after i extracted all of them i found a texture and model for a Thunderbolt from Wing Commander and a Borg Cube ROFL
-
I know i’ve kind of hijacked this thread and apologies for that, but the main topic was dealt with at the start of this thread and since i’ve managed to extract all the SL textures, i’ve been in a modelling frenzy sorting out these Coalition ships.
Further to the Chinese being involved in SL, i’ve found these ships
Han Bomber
Zhuhai (cross between a goose and the firefly)
Luda
Loki Pirate Ship ?
I also located some squadron repaints of all the Alliance fighters in “Tiger Squadron” colours
-
Here’s some i’ve done today. All of the ships i’ve shown so far are now in CMP format with a DDS texture MAT file
Sabre
Berejev ( this comes with lightmaps as well)
Thunderbolt from Wing Commander which was also in here
The “Bremen” carrier - this comes with lightmaps as well
Alliance - Baxter Base - with lightmaps
Lonestar Shuttle
Saracen
It is my intention to release all these models, i’ll never get them all into one ship pack so i’m going to split them up. I’ll re-release the original Alliance fighter ships, then the same again but with different skins, i found some with Tiger Squadron colours, then the Coalition Fighters, Coalition & Alliance Capships, Then finally some bases i’ve found as well
