Star Wars Mod by mikhailskatchkov reborn.

Yes I agree with most everyone else on the cockpits, they're beautiful and fantastic and I want them to stay.

On another note, I have a question. Are you making all these models yourself, and if so, what programs are you using?

Some model are ported some are "kitbashed" one or two donated, the rest I made.

I use "3D Studio Max", Doubleshadows "DBOX", "Photoshop elements" and "pixelformer" for alpha channels.

[mikhailskatchkov]

I really do like the cockpit idea.

My only "objection" is the one of the Imperial Destroyers.

Even though in star wars movies the cockpit is almost the same as in game, for visibility reasons, it will be better to have two or three "windows".

Ye ill adjust the cam position and will bring it closer to the windows.

Hi Guys,

Please provide info if you know anything about this.

I'm making cockpit glass, I need it to refract light not reflect, basically the only thing i need to change is that the face of the object reflects the light when its behind it and not in front.

What ive tried.

X3 shaders dont seem to have a refraction variable.
*Placing the diffuse in the illumination slot = scratches visible all the time.
*Standard glass setup= when facing dark space scratches are visible but not when facing the sun, I need the opposite.
Trying "Cullmode" now = ...., and bump settings..


Thanks guys

test



still the same
EDIT*
I have some success)))

Cockpits update

Old glass which made things blue or darker removed, now there is a completely clear (actually 99%) glass which will have slightly/barely visible scratches on it when light hits at a certain angle, Ill later add edge smudges for extra realism.

Thanks to "Klaus11" gravadar and other aids are back, as you can see in the pic.

E-wing cockpit improved



Im trying really hard to get 0.84/5 done by this weekend.

Recusants-class for Moncal,
Providence-class for Pirates,
Y8 Miner for Alliance and Corporate sector/Teladi,
Escort shuttle for Imps, and a few new sound effects and a new sound Track addition to go, then 0.85 done.

WoW looks nice.....
I look forward to 0.85, as my daughter is looking forward to Santa Claus!

[mikhailskatchkov]

Only managed to finish this one.



Was working all day today.


Ill concider throwing in one or two of those Ties if people really want them

Only managed to finish this one.

Was working all day today.

No pressure, there is only appreciation for your dedication for this mod.

For more TieFighters i think, the imperials got 2 of m3, m4, and m5. should be enough, but if you have the time, more ships are always awesome. Maybe concentrate on the rest first.

[mikhailskatchkov]

1 ship to go

Whats done so far

C-ROC Gozanti Cruiser/Transport (Less weapons than std Gozanti but more shields and cargo space. This model is 80% complete, ill detail it later)









Y-8 Mining ship (large cargo hold, heavy shields, mountable mining laser, tractor beam etc)






Mon Calamari Recusant-Class Destroyer - Operated buy Mon Calamari, Alliance and Pirates.
(This is the 2,5km variant which Moncal decided to keep in production due to its versatility and popularity) Model about 80% done, will finish in future, will have to be like this for now.
Personally quite like the design of this ship.

[mikhailskatchkov]

After many sleepless nights, back ache, sore eyes and one broken mouse, all ships for next patch are ready, tomorrow Ill be adding ships to their shipyards, including a few bug fixes and within the next 3 days ill have 0.85 uploaded

[iniochos]

Get a rest. You need it and deserve it.

[mikhailskatchkov]

0.84 + TEST, 0.85 in two days, then you guys can start a plot, not with this patch, this is for quick bug testing and reports.

Notes

Added: Recusant-Class Destroyer L 2,5km type (MonCal)
Added: BFF bulk freighter (Alliance/IMP)
Added: Y8 Miner (Alliance/Teladi/IMP)
Added: Gozanti C-ROC (Correllian/Pirate/Teladi)
Added: Providence-Class Carrier L type 2.1km (Yaki)

Fixed: Strange Pirate "NOVA" anomaly
Fixed: Plot sector naming no longer affect Corusant(sectors moved)
Fixed: Cockpit HUD aids (thanks to Klaus11)
Fixed: All sectors now visible on minimap, some gates corrected (thanks to Klaus11)
Fixed/Changed: Cockpit glass now much clearer with slightly visible scratches at certain angles. (so far only 2 ships)

Known issues:
1. Coruscant city, will be totally reworked, its working but a bit messy.
2. Pirate TLs appearing not fixed yet could find the bug, TJobs has to be redone from scratch)
3. races sometimes using wrong ships for trader and other civil. (clueless as to why, TJobs problem probably).
4. Providence scene a bit messy.


For those who dont want cockpits, simply delete 10.cat/.dat and 11.cat/dat
Klaus11 shifted around some files to make this possible.


A suspicious shuttle leaving Coruscant.

Ok guys, Im gonna be uploading 0.85 in about an hour, there isnt much new in it, same as 0.84 but ive placed many placeholders, in the hope that you will not need to start a new game with every update until V 1.0

In other words, you guys can start a campaign, unless there are critical bugs that will need to be fixed, so please test and report.

A few things you'll notice different from 0.84.
Added: sector Mos Eisley in Tatooine (new game start required for this to show up) And Klaus11 has made a new mini map bod for that to be visible to.
Added: some wrecks to sectors that see lots of action.
Changed: a couple sound effects.
Changed: playing around with com avatars, just added a few stills, ill be replaying those with animated/movie clips.

[mikhailskatchkov]

0.85
**link removed, X2**

Noticed one problem, wrong race voices are played on com screen/avatar. I dont understand why, i only edited the video file not the audio file, if anyone knows how this happened, please fill me in, thanks

Edit*
no seems the problem fixed itself, all voices correct so far.

this mod is great, makes me enjoy playing X3 again! i have however noticed a few things that bug me though. the lancer and vigil explode whenever undocking from stations, and the gladiator feels just a littlebit lacking when shooting at fighters(it may just be me using it wrong though). other than those two things im loving this quite a bit, its great to see star wars mods! also, have you considered adding the vindicator class cruiser? its essentially and immobilizer 419 without the gravity well domes.
