WIP: TFTC: Imperial Hangar

[Cloud]

Hmmm..... do the wings rotate on the TIEs IN the hangar?<P>If not, just replace the slots *ugh*, <I>then</I> copy the TIE Fighters to an unused *DontUseMe slot and let the player play as these. Your EXE Should look like this:<P>1. TIE Fighter<BR>5. X-Wing<BR>255 (previously unused slot). TIE Fighter -this is the one you play with.<P>That way you've got<P>- Imperial TIEs in the hangar.<BR>- Playable (copies of the) TIEs that do not have the rotating wing problem as they're not in the X/B-Wing slots.<P>You could try that.. don't know if it works. <BR>Caution: When I tried this, it caused my game to crash upon starting a mission. Either I did something wrong, or XWA doesn't support duplicate entries in its EXE files. Try making a backup of your XWA folder before doing it.<p>[ 26 January 2003: Message edited by: Cloud ]

I just checked up on that. Since there is no B-wing in the hangar, only the X-wing and Shuttle will cause problems.<P>The X-wing is fine. I tried several ships - including TIEs and the 'boats. No problems with rotated meshes. Some were partially in the hangar floor, but that's easily correctable.<P>The shuttle does have problems, but apparently only on craft with rotating wing meshes (ROTWING). The craft with normal wings simply took off and flew away, with no animation.

[Cloud]

That "partially in the floor" thing could be a nice effect actually if you move that elevator to right beneath it . It'd look like the TIE was on its way up the elevator.

[Slade]

yeah. Imperal pilots at there best. <p>[ 26 January 2003: Message edited by: Slade ]

Read my other thread! I've moved the hangar sideways so you won't see the shutle going through the wall.

[Vince T]

As I have moved the IsideHangar hardpoint it should be right beneath one of the x-wings.

[Darksaber]

So have you got a little bored of this project also?

[General Edor Crespin]

Fucking hell, just because something isn't POSTED for two DAYS, you start up, whereas with the XWAUP, when someone says something about nothing being posted for MONTHS, you and other XWAUP members start biting people's head's off, saying that THEY (XWAUP members) have lives. So you guys are the only ones with lives!?<p>[ 29 January 2003: Message edited by: General Edor Crespin ]

[Darksaber]

Go fuck yourself<P>And as for the XWAUP I couldn't give a fuck anymore what they do<P>I don't have to explain myself, but as it's a jerk like you, I will for once.<P>I was curious to what the progress of the hangar was OK!<P>And you say I'm in a bad mood! You Fucking Jerkoff

[General Edor Crespin]

So why can't we ask for progress reports on anything related to the XWAUP without someone biting whoever's asking head's off?

[Darksaber]

Well don't ask me I'm not involved with the XWAUP anymore<P>Ans as Ace Antillies posted, there is no friggin progress, nothing is being made or finished anytime soon, try reading the news page for once in your life Jerk

[JC]

Why don't you two just cut it OUT!?!

[Darksaber]

Oh shut up

[Gryphon]

On a totally unrelated topic:<P>Hey DS, did you get my email?

[Chris]

You know what I'm voting for? Use teh invisible opt, and put the opt's name in place of the names at the offset Cloud gave us. That would be the best bet for any mod to use, like the TIE Fighter conversion mod.<P>Chris

[ods]

Yeah so, there hasn't really been any progress posted here for a while. Anything new to report from anybody?<P>I'm progressing on the Battle Convsersions, but as nobody wants to do them but Cloud and me don't expect to get the whole deal immediately.<P>BTW, Cloud, did you get my email?

[Vince T]

OK, to make it clear: No further progress yet. My studies have become quite rough lately.<P>The best thing is you gous(ods or who ever is working on thhe project) tell me about when you will most likely <B>need</B> the hangar, so <B>I</B> can <B>coordinate</B> work on it with my other stuff.

[Vince T]

Yeah, I need some pics of imperial hangar ceilings. There's only a poor view of a part of it in the TESB screenshot.<P>If you have any others, please post them!

[Major Wes Janson]

You can see a little tiny piece in the corner of the DS tractor bay card, but other than that there is nearly no views of the celing<P>somewhat useful pics, I hope<BR> <P><BR>

[General Edor Crespin]

I think there might be some shots in RotJ, but not sure.

[legend43]

look at the floors

[General Edor Crespin]

But if you look at the CCG card it seems like the ceiling is different, although I'm not quite sure.

[Major Wes Janson]

i'm pretty sure the walls continue across the celing, making one continuous bar, making supports for Tie racks. It seems to match the texture of thje walls. Also that DS pis on the card isn't too accurate, in the pic above you can see they updated the hangar in the SE. I think the ribs continue, and the celing looks like the walls.

[Draco429]

Think of it this way, G_T: creative license!

[ods]

Amen.<P>Make it up however you want it. I'm sure nobody will nitpick as we're all so happy to just have it in the first place!!
