http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/6/60/B1-B_Lancer_bomber.jpgDo you Guys also have the A-10 warthog? I have remade that To include a main gattling gun mount and gattlin like weapon, I have also made it were it has two afterburners both inside the engine pods.
I have the following setup,
2 afterburners, 1 counter measure in new location, 1 mine in new location, 1 sheild, 2 exahust nozzles, 4 or 6 wing located mounts, and my nose mounted gattling cannon. It is a slower ship, and has a hit hit point value. Right now it has been coded to work with FoxBoxāes 88flak mod, But I can convert it to a vaillnia compatable one withint aday if you would like it. -
Fell upon your post and almost litterally fell over, Sol! You have an amazing imagination and incredible skill at bringing it into ālifeā! I am awed, my friend.
Xarian, UV mapping is definitely the way to go when you want fine detail on superbly designed ships such as Solās.
MS3Dās Texture Co-ordinate Editor is so limited that it can easily ruin the work you put into your ship model, or at least cause you hours of hair-pulling that you should use learning UV Mapping instead.
Thereās no end of better and better texture mapping guides on the net, look them up - hereās a good starting place for UVMapperā¦.

The Classic version is free, and when you find its limits you will probably be very willing to buy the Pro version with so many cutting and seaming tools (once you know what that means - I donāt at the moment!!)
-
Thanks StarTrader. Actually when it comes to both modeling and texturing Iām literally a noob. Iāve got great ideas but itās hard to make them a reality but Iām trying to get better. Would be cool if there were more like me trying to help the community.
-
Currently Iām working on a new sleeper ship model but Iām having some setbacks, 3d max keeps crashing when i try the boolean command on this model and I havenāt figured out why yet.
Btw I couldnāt use your sleeper model cause it was too buggy m8 but maybe youāll like mine, if i ever finish it -
Not sure if it helps u a bit but there is not only a broken sleepership in FL.
There is also a sleepership in the manhatten cityskype, at last the fron and main body is there.
Take a look at it, there are some details u can not see on the hispania. -
Sleepershipā¦ā¦
My opinion?
Who, me? Oh, thanks, StarTrader, thought nobody would ever ask!!
Hehhehehehā¦
Make a completely new sleeper ship, Sol :- slicker, more cool, more sleek, more bigger, more sleepership!
Design it with banks of cells for animal pairs to save and thousands of cells for āprimeā human specimens in mind - you know, middle-men and middle-women:-
politicians,
insurance brokers,
bankers,
council workers,
managersā¦!!Make sure the lifeboats are enough for the crew and any kids.
And in the basement put lots of dungeons for murderers, poofs, paedophiles, transvestites, wife-beaters and other loonies next to the tigers and lions and sharks and crocodiles etc., so their meat is always freshā¦!!! 8-)
And ensure the engines just about get it a couple of days into its voyage before they fizzle outā¦
<sighs>:)
Guess Iām in trouble now, huh? :roll:</sighs>
-
Hehe Iāll keep that in mind. On a side note, my sleeper model is way to buggy and itās just impossible to continue with the modeling from this point on, as such Iām deleting the file and gonna start a new sleeper ship tomorrow, hopefully Iāll not make the same mistakes again ā¦ i still donāt know what those mistakes were but hey ā¦
-
hopefully Iāll not make the same mistakes again ā¦ i still donāt know what those mistakes were but hey ā¦
My gods manā¦ you model like i codeā¦ pmsl 8-)
& sweetā¦ been waiting on a āuseableā sleepership for some time nowā¦ dam i can see me spending all Xmas & NY learning the āway of the textureā heheā¦ I can think of worse ways to spend the holidayā¦
-
Xmas is due to come in one month, my ship should hit the shelves tomorrow or such, untextured of course.
Meanwhile I finally figured out why the model had errors ā¦. and as always -> human error ā¦ I hurried to make the sleeper ship and I didnāt noticed a couple of obvious hull surface mistakes which were done in the first stages of the modeling. By this time it would take me longer to remedy the situation than to model a new ship, as such, learning from those mistakes, the new ship is clean* and about 70% done. It aināt detailed since I couldnāt see much from the Freelancer Intro ā¦ too blurry ā¦ damn video resolution, yet again, it isnāt supposed to be a true replica of the original.
Laterz -
The sleeper ship is an icon of Freelancer so I reckon my model has room for improvement ā¦ā¦ as such, feel free to come with suggestions on things youād like modified and Iāll look into it.
I named this ship āOlteniaā and I would appreciate it a lot if youād keep the name at least somewhere in the shipās infocard in the game ā¦ if youāll use it of course .Well here it is:

*Jaw drops, then falls off chair onto the floor. . . . . *
Holy cow, There was no way iād be able to get that amount of detail into this ship. Many many thnaks I will see how the others like it and let them know who made it , I can not wait to get this going. Much thanks Mate.
Passes a cold sixpack your way "here mate You deserive it "

@ Tunicleā¦ there sweet m8ā¦ gonna have to hijack someones printer and print them out for my wall 8-)
Just played a bit with the shuttleā¦ methinks iāll try UV mapping this oneā¦ as it āhasā to be 100% perfectā¦ close just wont cut itā¦ ( i textured itā¦ but noā¦ defiantly try UV mapping hereā¦) when sheās doneā¦ Iāll hunt down its owner (there was no infoā¦) & see about releasing it for all
@ Solā¦ I imported the sleeper into ms3dā¦ and it went all funkyā¦ seems it lost some weld or verticie data along the wayā¦ bad triangles everywhereā¦ any ideas on how i would fix that ā¦ I have Blender/XSI & Wings3d hereā¦ maybe in blender?.. oh and no 6 packā¦ hereās the darn breweryā¦ hehe
