HOW TO: make new Botf 3d Designs, the Video Tutorial

[thunderchero]

Looks interesting 800 poly?
remind him 512 x 512 is max texture size and limited to gif palette.

WORKS - now i only have to add a UV map and Texture

but model works - and can be used with 2 scale options: 1x Shran (heavy battle cruiser) and 1x Suurok (smaller vessel) - all i need to do is make a different texture for that.

not triangulated - under 800 faces - works fine in game.

texture will be provided as 512x512 tga - i will convert to gif with palette (is there a max filesize?)

i hope i get the tuv or buv file - so i could simply add them to the hob; if not i have to map it myself (but i am confident i can do that

Scale 16.5 for Sharan Class
and maybe 7.5 for Suurok Class

[Benman2785]

got it working

here you can download the 2 new Ships Ni'Var Class and Sh'raan Class (same base model - different size and texture)

- main problem was a wrong gif texture

so many issues with zip file
1. missing all tga's for model
2. no phaser data (phaser data I used was wrong crashed in combat)
3. did not look like you had assigned gif to hob
4. missing "b" and "c" hobs

I cheated re-named to m01 (replacing vanilla Acamarian Raider)
set phasers to default 8
assigned hob and texture

i cant import it into HU_ now :/

that is due to the HU vanilla model has different phaser/damage slots. (your ship does not have damage spots)

you would need to replace HU and not share the slot

[Benman2785]

ok, got it working - thank you alot (again)

you can hex edit the "phaser" file in the ship pack as I did this one.

i suspect its a phasers problem
