Well the Zam Speeder is pretty much done, so I'm now going to put the Republic Gunship ingame.
1) I dont know if it will be very playable due to its size.
2) There probably isnt any way to put passengers in it, but will see.
3) I will probably have a finished product sometime in this coming weekend:D
If your curious... just jump over to my website, and youll see the finished mesh;)

dude that thing is awsome...bummer that it wont be flyable, but your sorta right, cause those things are really huge...
anyway great work man, you keep comin out with these models one after the other:cool:
Now you should be able to play it in AOTCTC. We are unsure though.
well we got it ingame, and I must say that it isnt as bad as you might think (at least as a speeder bike model)... The scale may be a bit small so I may tweak it up later, unfortunately I havent got it to work as a ship yet, i think the size has something to do with it. The error comes up when the game boots up a map... Error:"vehicle extensions to large (veh.)"
anyhow here are the screens

Look'n good...gota say a few things though.
1) The front should be a little more rounded, and the cannon tubes should be just a tid-bit shorter...[

2) I assume sense you based if off of you swoop, it fires lasers for this reason...in actuality, though, the main weapons were the duel rocket launchers at the top. The secondary might be to fire the f'ord cannons...
3)I have looked at a post somewhere, and it is possible to assign a certain weapon to an individual. For instance, someone made it so the lambdashuttle is controled by a pilot, and 2 [or 3] gunners. Each gunner controls a gun. Thus, it is possible...I reccomend you talk to our fellow modellers and make this into a joint project, so you can do the gun thing
Wow I haven't seen the new skin update. Have you showed anakin this. He'll be impressed.

Well I decided to use some new techiques that I have picked up as of recent. It does look better eh?
I discovered why no one has tried to do anything with this model, I found texture errors, and other mistakes. We may want to use both of these recent models for our maps (since I have worked out most of the bugs). Mars out

To be honest, I didnt know which way to go (since I have seen two different weapon types used overhead for two different models)... Yeah the front needed to be rounded, but the ship is already using a monster amount of polys (since I modeled the interior as well). The screens just happen to be the wrong angles, it actually does look better as you move around the front. Mars out
Yeah, it does look great, but you can walk through it, and it's a speeder type vehicle.
Fix it.
the lambda shuttle is larger than the gunship (20m compared to 17.4m), so size shouldn't be the problem.
Thats not nessicarily a bad thing. If the middle of the craft, the part where people walk though, is not of the vehicle, it could hold ALOT more people who can fire and everything...very cool. Its somthing to deffinatly invest in...:clone:
Now, I think I may have a way to lower your polys. Make the wings skinnier. The only semi-bulky part is next to the missile tubes...the rest is almost flat. The front is a little more curved inwards, so you can probably shave a few there...[please keep in mind that I have no actualy knowledge of modeling, and am just guessing what a poly is, and how to reduce them...]

that would require a complete overhaul of the vehicle system.

That's because you have more than 12 vehicles in your base (default ones included)
Well NeoMarz why have you been so quite at the TC forums lately with you current work. You just come out of nowhere and suprise us with your work.
We wouldn't nessicarily have to re-write the vehicle code and everything...one time, while playing Kotor Flight School on-line, I was suprised to find that someone had jumped on my lambda shuttle. I went up and down, to the left and the right, and yet they remained alive. When I rolled to the right, using the right strafe key [d] they died...this is actually where I draw my inspiration. As I said, its deffinatly somthing worth looking into.:clone:
Oh, yea, I almost forgot. Is the Zam Speeda up for download yet? If so, where is it?

anyway around that? cause I love my vehicles = )
Zam speeder will probably fisrt be downloadable at AOTCTC. At least thats what I thought. But its up to NeoMarz. If it is downloadable first at AOTCTC it will be put up right away when its ready.
Oh NeoMarz please check your PMs in AOTCTC forums.

only with the sdk.
Sorry if I sound stupid here... bt isn't that Zam Speeder a modified version of the podcar in JA? assets1.pk3, models/map_objects/roof_top/podcar.md3
Looks a bit like it, but it's much smoother and better looking, good job :D

he started zam's speeder way before ja was released. :)
It originally was for the AOTCTC JO version you couldn't fly it but was there for looks :)
Any updates Marz? :confused: Come on, man, I am dieing for this model! PLEASE...must...have...updates! :explode:
I can tell you that we will be releasing this model within the week or next week you can look for it at the AOTCTC site!
yay, thats good news...
the gunship looks awsome, i think im gonna have a blast being marz's clone pilot model while flying the ship at the same time!:D
Well, err, thats great. Thing is, we are all dieing for information...so whats it going to be? How many people can this babe hold? Will it be multi-gunner? [I hope so!] What are the primary and secondary attacks? I mean, come on! We can't be left hanging here!:eets:
Multi gunner is impossible, but it is possible to carry passenger.
No, not imposible. There was a thread about it...Duncan should have it.

the lambda shuttle has room for two gunners, as can be seen when the comment markings are taken out of the .veh file.
:eek:
That could be so cool!
Model should be out in a couple days, I just sent the file to Darklord.
Check
www.aotctc.com)
Mars out!
I just posted it its out check AOTCTC.com
I have a request to all who have downloaded this model. could you let me know if the passenger option works? If you got someone out there with a server to test this, I'd like to know. Plus, how do you select different weapons, I noticed with the Lamda shuttle you have tons of weapons, I know you can use alt mouse for a second weapon, but what about the rest? I'll add more weapons if someone can square this away with me. Mars out!
The Lambda shuttle has four laser cannons at the front, and a mine launcher at the back - these are its only weapons...
..unless you enable the turrets! There are two turrets on the Lambda, and although they weren't properly animated by Raven, you can choose what weapons they use.
(The turrets can aim up and down when the shuttle is stationary, but when it's flying it is very hard to see whether they are aiming or not)
Wait there is a passenger option......... I never knew that I must have been living under a rock!

We need to test it, and see if it works. Maybe we can get some of our own guys to test it on a server? Mars out
Mars, please check your PM's.
The maxPassengers bit in a .veh file will work for ANY ship - I made a mod that allows all ships to take passengers, cos it's fun! :D
