  Ok, well, I am formally announcing my project.  I am not going to do any more ship conversions until I'm done, so I can have enough time to finish it.  Some of you may have already herd me say I was doing this, but it seems that I didn't say it clear enough.  Again I will give updates, but I will not give hints or comment on guesses.  It is a secret project, and So far I don't think anyone knows what it is.   Not even Tyler.  Here is the first update.  I'm still trying to decide how much I want to let on, so for now this is all.

A big thanks goes to tyler for pointing me in the right direction with the weapon sprites.

And yes, I did FINALLY get those dumb emitters working again.

Thanks.  I edited the textures my self, though the original mod is a stargate missile, I did redo the textures.  They were just too white.

(Disclaimer: pun not intended The comment was not intedned to sound racist.  I my self am white.  By reading the comment you agree to the RLA. The reader thereby agrees to not personally attack me for the statement.)



Oh, I forgot.  I made the smoke textures and sprites as well.

Lol pretty good but what would look much better is more of a gray smoke texture then a smaller fire emitter on the back.

as for possibilities, i'm thinking something like a futuristic (compared to tech now) or maybe stargate or similar.

Well, the textures arn't final, but for what they are being used for, the white is actually perfect.  The trail will be a little more skinny, and a little longer, but For now it is much better than I could have hoped for.

Thanks guys.  It is really starting to come togeather.  Unless I get pounded with other things, (which is very likely) I should get it done in a few weeks.  However with all the other things that start when summer ends it will be more likely a month or two.

It is a big FO addon, but I am still calling it a mini mod.  For now I am the one man team, so work and speed all depends on how much time I have.  However last night, I made a big step in progress, so I maght actually be very over exaggerating the time it will take, so for now my best guess for the due date is about a month.  Again, all my estimations are subject to change, based on time, and of course how much I plan on doing.

One other big factor.  3.0.8  When it comes out my work on this project may be halted for a long period of time.  Just a warning.

Looks great, what ever it's for (though personaly i'm hoping for stargate )

The key word there is WHEN

Really, When.  A question you will never get a good answer from.

Oh, and please don't be disappointing if it isn't stargate, though I'm not saying it isn't.  I love stargate my self and there arn't enough A2 stargate ships out IMO.

nice missile but i think it should be a little less detailed or more subdued or something

posted on August 8th, 2009, 1:33 pm

detailed?  It is just the textures that is detailed, and I did that my self.  The model is tiney, and you probally won't even see it unless you zoom in real far anyway.  I am however going to get rid of those gret stripes, and replace them with more black.  With the way it is right now, the extra stripes make it look cluttered.

Clearly, since they ignored me compleatly the one time I asked

I won't, allthough it almost sounds like you don't even know what it's going to be yet

Oh trust me, I know what I am doing.  I'm just afraid it is a little out of my league.

With all the extra hardcoding in FO, I have run into many unforeseen problems.  Also I have joined the Final frontier modding team, so like I said, it will tale some time to get to a good point where I can reviele what it is.

This means yes I will tell you guys what it is before I am done.  I like to build suspense, and anticipation.
