Reply to Simple Request..maybe? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Which didn't even make sense, the advent strike craft were awesome, now they look like they came from Homeworld lol. And as far as someone replacing an ENTIRE race of ships, that would be one of the most pointless things to do ever. I mean if you going to go to the trouble of designing and building ALL those assets and at the end they just going to REPLACE the current ships?!? huh?

Reply to Animated Ship Model Progress... in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Animated turrets arn't difficult for a PC to do, if you actualy know the transform matrix math (I don't lol) you can 'easily' do a calculation like that, other than that you need to define a rotation point for the 'base' and the 'arm' (no diffrent than a point for a weapon but with a name like "Turret01-Base-Point"). It would be a LOT of work for a pretty minor feature though. The problem comes in working out how the game is going to work with the turret - play freespace 2 to s

Reply to Star Trek Online -MMORPG- is in development! in PC Gaming Sins Forums

[quote]Curse of MMOs. They are so expensive to develop and support that an MMO flop is a Bad Thing. So developers always want to stay on the safe side and most MMOs tend to keep the same basic elements. The downside of course is that people start getting tired of seeing the same gameplay over and over only with different environments and character textures MMOs, sadly, rarely innovate much. I would call EVE Online one of the most innovative MMOs, but it's a niche game really - there's rarely mor

Perhaps you should try and get better at modding rather than telling other people the standard varietys of diffrent faction themes in every game ever. :P

Reply to Star Trek Online -MMORPG- is in development! in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Stargate MMO, new Star Wars MMO and a new Star Trek MMO... I sense a disturbance in the bank balance... as if a million fan boys are about to make some executives very, very rich. Star Trek has some really nice sci-fi stuff that could be put into a game (better than before at least). This MMO seems likely to be a simple Picard simulator with WoW rules though. Don't get your hopes up.

Reply to Does this are original game features, or my computer is a low-end one? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

MY [U]guess[/U] at why there is not turrets is because they are freaking difficult to do properly in terms of balance, unless you just want them to teleport to the new direction they can mess with all sorts of fire rate, tracking and related things. They have a pretty awesomely simple front/back/left/right system (2D esentialy). With turrets this makes it difficult to work with since turrets could potentialy rotate to all four and then if it can, which one does it count as? Its

Yeah, if someone manages to make a good MMO star trek game, I will be so suprsied I might even try a mac... or even... a console. Thats never gonna happen. (And my standards for 'good' are high - is not just WoW with picards face stuck to a generic human model.)

indeed, most weapons simply pick a random point on the hull/shield mesh to fire at (usualy on the 'side' of the attack).

Reply to Creating Ship Entities in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Your not looking hard enough, its the name weapon0 is the first weapon in the entity file, second is 1 and third (max of 3) is 2. hangers, exhaust and abilitys all work automatical based on the name again. You don't NEED to have any textures but it will look strange in certain situations. In fact it dons't spout errors at me and I have textures that don't exist being refrenced by the .mesh atm. Yes the dev.exe can reload almost anything on the fly, s
