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.

Re-read my last post

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

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.

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

Thanks Mav, took a while that one.

@Kuze,

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.
