Yep, there is - just put up with me when I’m feeling Grumpy - that’s most of the time! 😄

Hey all I have moved all my infomations and starting anew at http://freelancercommunity.net/viewtopic.php?t=621

Go over there for updates please, as i might not be coming here to watchthis thred. and much thanks to everyone.

I have decided to start with a fresh install with the sdk stuff and insert all my ships into the game and work at it from there.

Lonestar out . . .

Ok I gave up on the custom weapons, and are going with the current weapoins in game. It seams that there is an error in the model of the triple turret, might be too big, or it might just be the tree of them combined i just don’t know.

But I’m going to use the curret weapons of 88flak and just move on. Once I have the ship finished I’ll spend some time working out my bugs. I will post my finding once i find out what was casuing the crashed incase someone else is having the same trouble.

Lonestar out.

so i tested the ship in combat
i took the ship and died several times without any fl crash
the npc with this ship died without any fl crashes

i can give you the ship, so you can test on your server ?
or give me one and i test by myself

Um I think i understod just 1/16th of that about the recoiling animation.

Just to make it simple at first, I havea HUGE gun that I’m putting on a carrier that i’d liek to have recoail like the big planet bombardment cannons that was in the extended intro. I have a two group simple setup were there is a box, and then barrel groups.

The massive weapons hard point is within the modle itself so if i can get the barrel group to recaoil backward into the box. I’ll have it made.

As for looking for the recoil annimation I have no idea how to start, and the same for the nodes. I use milkshape, hardcmp, flmodeltool, and just started to use LithUnwrap for my sur files.

So as you can tell i’m still a noob, but a nood that wishes to learn. I’ll look around and do a few searches once i get a working model of my carrier and its new weapons working. I’m taking a break from seeing it go nuclear on me and crashing. I think i have it now, but like awlays another problem rears its ugly head, or heads.

Lonestar out…
