Need a modeler?

Before that, you should indicate under what license you're releasing your work. GPL works for us, but I think Creative Commons is good too.

Licensing?

I've never been too worried about that.
I generally always give my models freely away..as long as I'm given proper credit, it can be used or modified freely.

[BTAxis]

The point is that there has to be some clarity about that for the project. People in Linux land get very nervous when something is supected of being improperly licensed.

[TrashMan]

ERm....Creative Commons then.... I guess. I honestly don't care (or really know the real difference between the two systems)

[Mattn]

you can submit it to our patch tracker or send it to me via mail. please send every source file you created to create the model - every texture source and model source you have. And Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 is the license you should release it under.

Thanks for your work.

[TrashMan]

Give me your e-mail and I'll send the model, the texture and the photoshop file. B.t.w. - any preference as far as model format goes? (if .3ds isn't preferred)

[TrashMan]

Sent..

Oh, the vindicator is optimized and the mapping is coming along nicely..

I'm also making some sketches for the armor.

Just FYI, you can also attach your files to a forum post.

i've commited your work to svn now - we only need a md2 export now and then we can include the weapon in the game. thanks again

Here's another little toy:

The ammo box on the right currently looks like something that is energy-based, alltough that's easily changed (in case it uses caseless ammo)

very nice looking, please send it via mail, too

Sent.. Could use some more tweaks on the texture tough, but I guess it's good to go.

I can write down the PHLANAX research and UFOPedia info if you need it.

Thank you, but we probably won't use the item in the single-player campaign, since we have too many human weapons already.

Too much weapons? That's an oxymoron...

Mm...reminds me of 1.13 MOD for Jagged Alliance 2 ... soooooooooooo many weapons... Tons of Gunz.... 200 at least.. yeah, that WAS a bit too much (not much difference between guns). The trick is to have guns with personality. So far I notices ammo is not a problem in the game. I rarely even reload once during a mission.
So a devastating, expensive, ammo-hungry weapon might fit the bill.


But I digress. I got a md2 importer but it doesn't work..I'll keep looking..

I think its only the human weapons winter mentioned not needing more of.

I think we could do with a few new alien weapons?
