Ah Major Stress, I checked out your readme file and realize you grabbed a bunch of these models from a bridge commander mod. Perhaps you still have some info though on how these things were modeled. I would love to make a ship in 3ds max with textures and all then figure out how to bring it into Sins

Hello Major Stress I would like to ask you what programs do you use to create ships and textures. I am taking a batchelors in Game Design and as a side project I would like to work on modding this or another game. I know 3ds max to a degree and I know of other 3d modeling programs like XSI, milkshape etc. I'm just wondering what everyone uses to create ships that they then put into the game. Thanks in advance I'm going to try out your mod tonight!

BTW guys if you want to get better at Max or just learn Maya and some other software check out Lynda.com. I have been using their training videos for a few months now. Its $25 a month for a subscription but they have some excellent video tutorials. This is not a plug I was just letting you guys know that this source is out there. I've leaped ahead of my class in 3d Max due to this site!

Alright I will see if I can understand this stuff and make something good I got 3d Max 8. I have never put a model into a game but I have been learning Max. I know a bit about texturing too but I may need help once I get something ready to go.

Reply to [MOD WIP] Stargate Invasion DIP 1.32 (released 10-25-11) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hello, Can you tell me what you did to make the ship and put it into the game? Did you model it in 3d Max? How do you import the model and textures from your ship into the game. This will help me alot in figuring out how to make a Robotech mod. Thanks! In galciv2 it seemed pretty easy to put new ships in. I am wondering if it is the same for sins? Will I need to convert my model to another file format etc? I use Adobe CS3 and 3D Max 8.

Hey guys! I'm currently learning digital entertainment and game design. I am interested in creating a mod or some ships to import into galciv or sins. I really want to do it with sins. My ???s are.... If I create a ship model in 3ds Max and texture it how do I get it to show up in the game. What steps will I need to go through. I have seen some good mods for galciv, the star trek one comes to mind where people modeled alot of the ST ships and inserted them into galciv. This is wh

Dude again let me reiterate. The guy had no strategy at all. Okay the first game maybe a bit but how did they cap the first planets so fast when we all built fleets fast. The third game though where you encounter that one player who builds nothing but one kind of ship. That is not strategy. 80 LRMS and 2 capital ships?? Again I ask you what can you counter with in sufficient number to take them out. As I repeatedly have stated, Advent cost is higher to field 80 of anything that co

Hey I need to clarify I didnt mean I was guarding my planets. I actually had a planet and an asteriod and I think an ice planet. But the next place I wanted to expand to had a NPC fleet of like 10 plus ships. I look at the other guys though and they already have two planets each and asteroids too. So I'm thinking hey they had to build up a fleet to take out those NPCs too. I dunno a cap ship and a few frigates. WTF? On the 3v3 game we were on the bottom so I guess the guys up top might hav

BTW I am new to the online play but I was a beta tester. I didn't play against other people though. I don't really know how to review my games. Don't I have to save my game and then it keeps a recording up to that point or from that point on? I'm still figuring out the recording deal. Further if im not the one hosting the game how can I record it for viewing later?

Yo Limz, How do you know I never played Starcraft. Did I say that. Because I sure remember quite a few games of Starcraft getting through the regular campaign and the expansion. So yes I do know the origins of the term Zerging. Anways TEC LRMs still are in my opinion a bit unbalanced. It takes me longer as advent to start making arai drones and fighter squadrons etc. They cost alot more in metal. It pretty much seems like TEC is turning into the Zerg of Starcraft where al

Okay latest game played. 3v3. Got out to my own galaxy escaped the one I was in and settled another star. had the whole place to myself. Built up a nice fleet with research etc. A little of every kind of frigate. The other guy. Had two TEC cap ships and 80 LRMs. My Illums I thought would help but they didnt do crap. So I ask the guy hey man did you build anything else or you just like LRMs he says yeah he built a few TEC planet bombarders?? forget the name. So WTF man what be

Multiplayer - No Strategy Involved in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I've played a few games now of multiplayer. Usually 2v2. Basically 2 guys know the map already and know where all the resources are to pounce on. Then before you can even get out the gate because all your planets have fleets guarding them you have to take out they have captured 3 planets and 2 asteroids. On top of that they know where the metal and crystal are concentrated and go right for them. So the rest of the game they just spam light frigates at you and since you took some t

The tragedy here is that the souls of those who lost their lives will not rest and cry out to us to question the events and investigate what really happened. You can believe the Main Stream Media reports all you like but the fact is that more and more people are waking up and questioning what really happened on that fateful day. BushCo knows this though and wants to show us again their version of the way things happnened. Too bad that th

You guys are really awesome! How about Voyager with the armor tech mod from the last 2 episodes LOL. Okay maybe a bit much. Wow a runabout too I think I requested that one as well. Now the only cool ship missing is the time ship Relativity also appeared in Voyager series. I wish I knew how to 3d model but i'm more into programming than artistic creativity.

I have a new insight to add to this thread. I am able to get all the models to work now. If you want to be able to build all the ships at STGC2 right away like the terran starships that you added... All you need to do is go into the GC2types.xml and edit the text between the Tech_Requirement tags. You can put something simple that you start out with or are only a few steps away from researching like Basic Logistics. XML is pretty easy to work with. It's simili

Ah thanks for the tips. I got them to work at last. It's really a no brainer I just didn't understand that you have to start a new game each time you add a model. I kept loading a Terran game where I had already researched the required techs and wondering why the models didn't show up. Excellent work guys!! Seriously!! Can I request a Voyager style ship (Im a fan of the Voyager spin off) How about a DS9 runabout as well?

Hey I may have figured out what is wrong with my setup. I think I was editing the ships.xml instead of types.xml. I've been using the Brief Guide to Modding info to figure this out https://www.galciv2.com/mods/gc2modsdoc.htm#ShipDefs As a side note about the dauntless you guys put on your STGC2 forums There is an actual ship called the Dauntless it was in one episode of ST Voyager and had the ability to seperate into two different ships in tactical mode

Hello guys, I must be a total noob because I cant seem to get these files to work. For instance I downloaded the NXO1 zip and tried to install it. I copied the png and .x file to the gfx/models directory. (Note I haven't modded the game other than b5 mod so I just put this stuff in the default set up. Maybe I need that mod you mentioned at the top) Anyways I copy the xml stuff into the GC2.ships.xml This is where something is messed up I think because I j
