tweaked the VHS rifle to sit a bit better in the hands of soldiers. Minor tweak really.

Question to you people.

I finally gotten around to test the Starchaser, to see if it works. Well, I can research it, I can buy it, but the model doesn't show up.

I re-converted the model just to be sure and checked. It's in the inter_starchaser folder, the .md2 and .jpg are named the same, and that's what's called in the aircraftmanagement.ufo.

I can't figure out what's wrong.. I had a Saracen model for scaling, so that shouldn't be the problem either..so what could it be?

in any screen. like it's invisible. I can research it, buy it, equip it, send it to intercept - but no model shows up anywhere.

models.ufo? No, I didn't think I needed to.

The ufoconsole message is that it cannot find geospace/inter_starchaser.

Thanks for the hint.. testing now.


EDIT: No go.

Now it jsut dumps me back on geospace whenever I want to access it's model in any menu (equiip, aircraft, buy equipment)


EDIT2: This is interesting:

ERROR: model models/aircraft/inter_starchaser/inter_starchaser.md2 has too many (or no) vertices (2347/2048)


EDIT3:

HAHA! It works!

i've added the vhs to multiplayer - and the texture seams really dark. it would be nice if you could light it up a little bit.

to check this in-game, go into multiplayer->team and create a new team there.

Ya thanks Mattn, but I won't have to.
I already added everything to single-player (both needer guns included). Fun :D

b.t.w. - have you managed to talk some sense into Winter, regarding the StarChaser?

I'm perfectly sensible, thank you, and it so happens that we are a team of people who don't undermine each other's decisions. You can either stop trying to get people to overrule the designers about your pet projects or you can piss off.

Winter

Even if they are bad ones?

Just saying that:

a) this is a hobby project, no one is paying anyone, so people work purely on good will alone. Therefore, having an "iron grip" (if you pardon the expression) on the project might not be the best idea, as it might alianate people who actually make content for "your" (or should I say, "our"? ) game. Personally, I don't make stuff for this because of your wining personality (not that my personality is much better, mind you) and I bet no one is.
Still, it's not as bad as I make it sound - as some other projects I've had the misfrortune fr joining before realising just how little freedom anyone in them actually had. I don't think this project is going down, quite the contrary, I think it will be finished - altough not exactly as fast as it could be.

b) you said what you didn't liked about the model, I fixed it, and you haven't said anything after that.

c) you don't have a model for the starchaser. Not even a temporary one for testing. Makes no sense to not use something someone offers you for free, at least as a temporary fix.
