Lordy do I need to sit down and work this out or what!

[swgbex]

I knew i shoulnd have asked  ;D

 

meanwhile im workin on something just for fun.. something that i think should be in game. u guys might agree

but i can start doin gen cores 1 and 2 since i know what they look like.. thanks rebellion

i could problably also google the rest of the stuff. provided it exists..

[Stellar_Magic]

Well the Comar SLD-20 is a theoretical Shield Generator...  The Comar SLD-26 was what the Empire deployed on Endor.  I'm afraid this is an incomplete list as well.  I'm hoping to use the ship models from EvilleJedi's Warlords mod... If you haven't seen them they're awesome.  We'll have to modify them for the EAW engine but even so it'll save us time.

[swgbex]

yeah ive played both the clone wars mod and the warlords mod

but are u exactly sure of that.. seems like they were high poly like.... i think he even admitted it in the forums once..

 

It caused warlords to lag in big battles ...

as far as the models go.. they are awsome and it would save lots of time

but we definately need to look at the poly counts

[Stellar_Magic]

The current models used in EAW are actually pretty high poly... if you consider all the seperate polygons in each hardpoint and all.  Still they're not as high poly as the Warlords models, but the Warlords model poly count can be cut pretty significantly simple by removing all the individual gun barrels that are stuck all over his ships.

[swgbex]

thats true... the rebel super capital ship.. dont remember what its called.. has about 1000 little gun orbs.. that are floating outside the ship.. i guess they were supposed to be on the ship and give it the mon cal look..but on mine they are just. outside the ship.. outside the hull.. im sure that would reduce the poly count

[swgbex]

well the GenCore I and II are done

[Stellar_Magic]

Could you post some renders?

[swgbex]

sure..

hold on let me render one

i might redo the satelites.. because i dont think they look right. :/

i tried to make it close to this pic from rebellion

for Gencore I just take off one satelite.. :/

[Stellar_Magic]

You don't need the wires on the dish... They don't really look right anyway.

[swgbex]

ill take em off.

Now to pick the next thing in the list :/

[Necro]

anyone know what the polycount can be?

[swgbex]

WEll the model i did was acceptable for generals.. so im assuming this game will take it.

 

im not exactly sure how much EAW will be but there is a forum where they said what an ISD was

[Necro]

oh where?

 

im afraid to add details so i made a tie/i and its 400faces with the bare shape

 

then again..do you really need details? especially on FIGHTERS!

 

capital ships i might understand ;p

[swgbex]

its the forum topic on the WIP for the EAW model exporter/importer

[Stellar_Magic]

Okay... arise.

 

Some members of the forum have detected a means by which to edit existing models... Yeah! (I actually have done some things on this.)

 

Now lets get to work making different versions of the units in the game already.  It's time to start skinning people!

[swgbex]

say what well start to work.. maybe tell me how the people did it too

[Stellar_Magic]

You can create a copy of the model and you can change the texture it uses through hex editing.

[swgbex]

lol nice.. i suggested we tried that in another forum.. didnt think it would work 100% but ok ill try ill have an update tomorow hopefully

 

 

edit.. never mind i have time now..

Got it open in hex editor.. and found the model name .tga.. im workin on a new texture for at st
