ELITE ship pack
-
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.
Iāll 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.
Iāve 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 iāll think about it.
I have them for inclusion in my Galacticum mod but thatās 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, iāll think about it.
Iāll post a link when they are ready for download.

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 couldnāt figure out why i was having intermittent docking issues until i realised iād 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 iāve 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 Schmackbolzenās utility. It simply freezes solid. Iāve done a sur with LSās utility, only problem is then i canāt physically enter the docking bay. Would prefer to be able to fly into it.

Youāre obviously not reading whatās written PB. Schmackbolzen wrote the obj->sur converter and thatās what iām having trouble with as it keeps freezing. Iām trying to figure out why as iāve not really had an issue with it yet. Try to keep up lol

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

Thanks cursor, iāll try and use yours and see if i get any joy. I havenāt 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 iām using yours is because itās 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 itās rare but possible, iād just like to know what it could be as it was the first model iāve had this with. Not like itās a difficult shape or anything.

Got a new vid. Finally managed to make a proper sur file for this station, this is the advanced Coriolis station. Used Schmackās tool for this.

Thanks Mav, took a while that one.
As i mentioned in the README which comes with the ship pack, these are free to use by anyone, just credit me and Griff for the models.
As to putting them into FL, there are some tutorials on this here on TSP on how to add custom ships to the game, but if you want i can talk you through it on my forum. Click on my sig to get there.
