Wanted a 3D Systems Modeler

Dude, you just took the Crossfire Sirius story, mixed it with my God’s Dummy idea, added monkeys and made a mod of it. I don’t care about God’s Dummy because I cancelled it, but Swat would be very angry about taking the Crossfire idea. I alredy told you, and I’ll say again: Be original…

oh and please, please, don’t tell anyone all of your stolen concepts without any ability of implementing them. you damage your good fresh name on the community and do help noone.

There’s no reason to act like that, DvDMan. Please treat our new members with a little more respect.

Thanks.

Its not disrespecting, I was just telling him he could get into troubles if he would make that mod, because it is made of stolen idea. I was angry of 2 reasons:
1. He stole the idea of MY mod “God’s Dummy”.
2.He didn’t evem bother to read the 1st comment I left him in the last thread he posted.

and you seem to have ignored my post. Those aren’t original ideas. He didnt ‘steal’ them. Everyone who has EVER played FL has come up with these ideas. Hell, I thought of this concept back in 2004 when the game came out, after I beat the campaign for the first time. And even then I wasnt the first. Seriously, chill out.

That summed up my post perfectly. Personally, I’ve seen the idea of “your mod” several times in my career with Freelancer. Because he didn’t bother to read your comment in the first post doesn’t mean you have the right to be rude to him.

Well all things considered - remember also that sometimes there is a language difference, not everyone is first-language English here, so I think it is fab that moh is clearly trying so very hard in English, and we also don’t know his age, which may account for his bubbling enthusiasm, so we need to give him some room.

He has also clearly done a lot of work on his idea, and needs help to finish it or take it further.

How about you two guys teaming up to help each other, if you have complementary skills?

You could always fight it out later when both mods are done?

hm, i like him…
but one thing: please, use sentense signs, such as “,” and “.”. it would make your intonations a lot easier to figure out. grammar is of secondary relevance, it is easy to understand people if their only weekness is grammar or spelling.

I didn’t understand almost nothing of what you wrote. Anyway, my mod is a one-man mod yet. I got only a guy who makes the musics, and Anubis has no time for my mod, so I’ll try to make the models by myself or download free models. My CMP exporter is just dumb, so I need a better one. I work with 3Ds Max and Milkshape 3D. Can you send me a PM with a link to help me?

CMP exporter v3 is fine.

After you export your model you need to fix the hardpoint orientations using HardCMP, because the exporter places the hardpoints with their axes parallel to the ship surface at the point they are mounted. It may be OK most of the time.

The .mat and .sur files are the problem.

i’d recommend to use HardCMP for making hardpoints. it can attach them directly to the hull as well and mirroring them is the only time consumer (although you just copy the values to the other side and change the x-pos, the first orient and the second orient to negative of the original.
mat files are neither the problem. you can export your mat just from the same milkshape session but do not expect any glowmappings. the sur is best yet to do with the sur builder, or to wait for our programmers to complete the tool or with the sur splicer which actually would consume some time if you make it professional. however, me won’t get deeper to that here, there are lots of tutorials for the splicing method, even a video just back in our tutorial section.
