Need a modeler?

[TrashMan]

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

ok, thanks - commited to trunk - feel free to send (mulitplayer only) ufo script files for the vhs

i hope that btaxis and/or winter will contribute the weapon defs for the heavy needler, too

[TrashMan]

Ya know, it's maybe better to just post the entries for the weapon, rather than the file itself...Here, for the VHS

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?

[TrashMan]

Nobody have a clue then?

[Mattn]

where exactly don't you see it?

[TrashMan]

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.

[Mattn]

and no console output? did you add it to the menu models ufo script file?

[TrashMan]

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!

LOL...get this - it's flying BACKWARDS on geoscape!

[Mattn]

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.

[TrashMan]

ice it too. Textures are far darken(far more saturated) in-game.

[TrashMan]

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

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.

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.
