I’ve seen on models, especially from Discovery Mod, that instead of being flat texture, the try to draw out, like the emblems and other details on new ships. I’m still having trouble with doing UV mapping, but I have redone textures, only with VTFs. I can do modeling, but doing UV is a bit challenging with the type of life I have to deal with. Since I’ve been busy with college and job search(which sucks in the state of Florida), asking someone do help with finishing it up doesn’t work. Sometimes you have to play it by ear.

Been awhile since I posted anything.

idk about the zone shape “ring”, but I see enormous size differences and it may very well be, that the player testing wasn’t in the zone because it either is so narrow or the placing is so that the player couldn’t find a spot inside.
Of course, and I guess that is more likely, it maybe that you have a typo somewhere where you bound the music to the zone or in the music piece’s definition. Check out your Spew and maybe run FLScan or something over your modded game…

@mknote: If there are timing issues, iirc the spew will have something like```
E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Client\Gf\ScriptDeformable.cpp(12345) : TRACE_1:General:(null)

@Livsi: FLScan just makes it worse; better to use my patched FLEd_Thorn, which fixes it, or dethorn, which uses another method entirely.

EDIT: Lol, why did this thread show up?! It’s like months old… 😮

I had a hard time to get Adoxa’s custom DLLs into the proper place too; it has been years ago, and I don’t remember the details but I though they were automatically written into some Library section by FLMM, and/or screwed up the custom ids DLL that FLMM generates.

Anyway, I now have all those DLLs in a folder ‘DLLs’ with an extension of .newdll rather than .dll, and use code like this:

<data file="EXE\Territory.dll" method="copyfile" sourcefile="NewDLLs\Territory.newdll" scanfile="”false”"></data> ```to get them into my mod without trouble. Maybe you could try something like that too? (Btw I use FLMM v1.4)

Interesting topic about ale reapetition… So I’ve a question too. Is it possible to have an effect that reapet only 2 or 3 time. Just to know if it is possible to have longer timed laser.

Hmmm. It turns out that, after a bit of work, I’ll be able to fit it in after all, by deleting some of the unused zone names from vanilla. Still, it says here that we’re limited to at most 200 names, which seems a bit silly to me considering all the other limits we’ve been able to break. Somebody needs to find an offset for this. Any takers?

39kb and 37kb are my results. Nothing to worry about. The Rheinland Battleship I made in the Tutorial had 87kb, and its convex model doesn’t have as much polygons as you may expect for a ship in that size.

Oh and I think it’s not good to make a shield bubble like vanilla did it on the ships. For players, HpMount will never get deactivated so you will ever collide with the bubble and not the shiphull itself. But of course, you can do it however you want.

Hmmm. That’s interesting.

The second link does in fact solve the problem of cruise speeds in areas with a drag_modifier.

The first link, however, does not solve the problem of interference. I’ll make a post in that thread, as I think it’s a bit more salient.

Thanks Alex.

Bumpidy.

Well, not just a bump. I’ve actually come across a trend in the crash: it happens if I try to save after playing Freelancer for a period of time (~5-10 minutes). Also, it happens if I alt-tab out of Freelancer and then try to save, regardless of how long I’ve been playing (I just tried it as a test, and I loaded a base, alt-tab, went back into the game, clicked save game, crash).

FLSpit still isn’t telling me anything, so I can’t tell if it’s my computer (I’m running Windows Seven x64, whereas I used to play Windows XP x32) or my mod. If it’s my computer, there isn’t much I can do (or is there?), but if it’s my mod, I definitely want to get it fixed before I release it.

Looks like it’s in User\Application Data\MilkShape 3D 1.x.x.

Hmmm….

So what is it you want to know that we can try to help with?

factionsets.ini is not used (I deleted it for JFLP). If you really aren’t going to use engine_good.ini, you could delete it and its line from freelancer.ini (I left it in since most mods use it, as Ozed indicates).

Ouch!

I know what you went through! :-?

If I knew a tool like this existed we wouldn’t have created more than 4,000 new wave files for the UnderVerse lol. We have totally redone a male pilot, female pilot, the docking character, mission commision, bribes girls and the ships voice.

Looks like you are stuck doing it the manual way. Here is a tutorial:

The end result is actually quite fun to enjoy (but a ton of work!)

Yes, use LithUnwrap to open up the entire ship “skin”, it’s reasonably straightforward but you probably do need to follow one of the guides the first time you do it.

By the way - remember if your texture is .tga format it MUST be set upside-down! It will look wrong until you load the ship in the game.

If you use .dds format then it MUST be right way up.

BUT - remember only PhotoShop’s nVidia DDS plugin works correctly, the GIMP and PAINT.NET plugins mess up the dds many times. You may be able to correct it by saving as .tga and then using DDS Converter 2 to make the dds.

Here are some links to texture mapping…

Good Luck. 😎

That’s a Developer issue, nothing to do with with the territory addon. You only add two files, the territory .dll and the territory.ini which you have correctly added.

Ah, yes, that’s the one. Thank you.

MK

if you want to create wireframes of a simple object than the wireframe tool is good enough and it takes somewhat between 2-5mins to create a working wireframe

unfortunatly that tool fails if you have very complex models and try to build a wireframe coz there seem to be a limits that the tool can not handle

i just can tell you what ive done to fix it for my engines and to my knowledge there are move color values for engines in the ales

MKNOTE!

I’ve been checking your Revolution fanfic near every day and crying myself to sleep at night when I see it’s not been updated yet. 😛
