Newest Screenshots... (pimpage) - Page 3

**Star Dragon** · 10-24-2005

Just cause something is not on the list doesn't mean we don't need it

Officially we have no Meltrandi meshes, any examples I have shown are from HW1 and Lestat has not given me permission to use them in the mod (permission status has been pending for months, I asked for a update and more months have gone by. Either he is just ignoring me or is just too busy to respond so in either event since it is PUBLIC knowledge how he has to have direct say about his works before they can be used they are to be considered NOT USEABLE by me or anyone else).

Terrenblade dissappeared so no new missiles... (MIA since March)

BTW posts get kicked cause of lack of new postings, I only post to respond or for a release or new information. This is the BEST place for new info as HLP stopped hosting new mods (plus my "team" is not as active).

We got Trashman as main modler but he's spread out over 7 mods. Matthew Hosts the site and forum here (and mod files of last upload), and teaser vids.

I run around like mad all over the net recruiting/searching for more RT/macross meshes.

that's about it.

**Rowhider** · 10-25-2005

You can find there a direct link for the Macross Topic on Hardlight: not display but always hosted.

And there, a link to the FS2 modding Topic of MetalDestroyer and me. You could find there screenshots of our two project: Robotech and Star Wars mods.

http://www.gamekult.com/tout/forum/l...000000782.html

**Star Dragon** · 10-25-2005

I know where the first link is (LOL)... I started that thread in Dec 2003

I just don't keep it updated much since we moved main messages here and got offcial hosting since I never got significant support on HLP to justify perm hosting but I was about to petition for hosting regardless when the "Project Feeze" came down and Matt graciously offered space on GW.

By hosting I mean:

Our own forums (Lovely aren't they I MADE BUTTONS!!! Ok it's not that exciting, but it was a major accomplishment for me then)

&

Space on the FTP sever for dev files (which haven't been updated in a year as I dont think enough has been completed to do so. plenty of things to fix in them already).

**Rowhider** · 10-26-2005

Yesterday evenning (for me! lol) I tried to add a post to the Robotech thread but impossible to add: the forum created an other thread. That's closed... Beuuuuh

I didn't know than there is a FTP server: what is available on it?

**Star Dragon** · 10-26-2005

the ref ships that need to eb fixed, one old invid , the old RTmod base. so it;s aroudn 30mb...

My personal build has more liek SDF-1 cruiser mode, all the Invids shown in last screenshot, mode finished alphas and their battloids and a few nicknacks. Some otehr things are not listed like the outside sources not allowed yet or files that have not been fixed for even test conversions (though we are allowed use).

Until trash has time to look at tehm or we get more modlers status will remain unchanged. I do have Trayus looking at the 2048 x 2048 NASA Earth pic I sent him a DL link of. IF he can fix it we will have the most kick arse Earth backgound since TBP. Note I posted it like a year ago with no one wanting to take a crack at it. (note it Does work in game even on my machine which I found very shocking...)

**Rowhider** · 10-26-2005

This week-end i tried to make an huge Earth Background with ESA's pic (original pic in 1600x1200), but when you put it on the skybox, your planet is totaly deformed (projection of a disc on a spherical shape). So try without success.

**Rowhider** · 11-12-2005

Yo,

I endly finished my Earth model: a very huge model with an huge texture...
With a 3d model, no deformation problem.

**Rowhider** · 11-13-2005

Hi!

I've made in a "little" model today: i tried to make a vision of the Zentradi Factory. It's an Huge model with a size similar to my Bodolza Fortress.

**Star Dragon** · 11-14-2005

One of my ideas was to have a model made of the factory, but to then take a screenshot of it. Infront of the pic would be one of the arms that would face the player and have that to interact with. That way it still feels to scale but does not affect game performance much... Sorta like cheating... So you can have a fleet come out the arm pod without dealing with the rest of the station in game. The whole model would be used for cutscenes or promos.

(ugh damn flu).. l8tr! Nice work!

**Star Dragon** · 11-20-2005

Not wanting to show new content too much I rehased old with a screenie from DYRL...

***DaBrain*** · 11-20-2005

Oh, I didn't even notice the last screenshots.

Very nice.

**Rowhider** · 11-24-2005

Just a little point on the Zentradi Cruisers

**Unknown Target** · 12-08-2005

Neat

2 things: I'm noticing that you don't have a VF-1A? If you never got around to that, one was created for the original mod. If the download's still up, I might be able to find it for you if you want/need it

Also, about the Harmony Gold thing earlier; I think Max was actually in talks with Robotech.com to get the original mod linked, but it never went through because the mod died out before that could happen. I'm not sure if their attitude has changed, however.

**Rowhider** · 12-08-2005

I'm currently using the VF1-A created by Max for the original mod. And I've done a little modification on the original VF, to make a "Super Veritech" (Fast pack). But I know that there is a special transformable model made (i believe) by Trashman. I don't know exactly if there is always available.

**Star Dragon** · 12-28-2005

My second atempt to make a short trailer for mod recruitment. I solved the stuttering problem, matching FPS was a good thing! But I shortened the footage to match the audio intro.

This is by no means an end result but at least it's something...

I had to delete the earlier file, DL was dying halfway through.. Try this .rar version

And the second link is a little something for max & miriya lovers.. Forgive the poor quality and lack of editing of dead time... (plus this uses a lot of old stuff).

Links done next post I as am trying to upload them.. apparently the file host I was using is taking 30 mins and that's why dispute 4 sites and over 200 views almost no one has posted comments except for hlp telling me there was a problem.

[Re-edit] Links totally removed as after uplaodign to forum would not show, exceeded limit by 4mb.... ]

**Rowhider** · 01-04-2006

I'm currently looking for make a first mission on the Macross Island on Earth, i've an Infographist who is making it. The main problem for this mission is the physic Engine, it won't be realistic.

Above, there is a shot for my try of Macross Island in Space...

**Rowhider** · 01-13-2006

Yo!

My new Earth model! An Ultra-giga-mega, well, big Texture of 40Mo in DDS

It looks good.

**Nuclear** · 01-13-2006

Wow. Nice work, guys.

I can just imagine the pure awesomeness of having a battle as close to Earth as that last screenshot.

**Rowhider** · 01-16-2006

Yo!

The two last updated:

- My new SDF1: new model, more detailed, less polys

Polycount: 4700

Rotative Turrets

More realistics textures:

Next Improvement: a realistic radar

The Last update on my Thurevi-Salaan Battleship
New 3d Model: polycount 4500

**Star Dragon** · 01-17-2006

VERY nice!

I may also be getting some new Zentreadi models but not sure how they will look as they were specifically made for Space Empires IV (By Atrocities...). He says they are low poly but the pics look fantastic so I am hopeful they can BOTH be converted over and still look good after the transition.

Anyway I am hoping to make a TC for that same game and did a test for The Invid Race. Here is the result. You see the Unit(s) that were built and their tiny combat Icon. Ignore the fighter group pic, the original entry was fro a Zent pod so when more than 1 is displayed a group pic is shown of all fighters and I did not make a pic of all types of Invid (YET) so the defualt pic got used.. I hope you guys like this RTS idea.

AFAIK the only complete robotech RTS mod is a Starcraft one (it's all sprites and I don't even have SC lol) and a defunct Armada II mod. I don't count the Homeworld one cause that is more of fleet battles and NOT empire building.

Space EmpiresIV is VERY much like my favorite RTS game of all time "Birth of the Federation"! However SE4 does not use actual 3d models, just images of them.

I even found the Vasudans had been converted but so far I haven't found our Terrans.
Maybe if I have the time later I will make a FS2 TC? Would you guys like to fight RTS style against the shivans and take over worlds they have conquered? he he...

I will try to learn if I can make HERO units (like maybe a Shivan named CARL [Bane of Raa] - giggle)
