Can this still be done with the latest patch? (ie: 1.0.6.0). <br/>

<t> I tried the same thing some time ago. I found that that my actual acceleration versus calculated was off by about a factor of 10. I'm pretty sure my math was right but the ship accelearation in the game did not match. It was so long ago I can't remember if it was too high or too low.<br/>

They do work in SS:TGS. They were on the Grouper site, run by Turgotz, for download but I don't know if that site is still available.

Turgotz, is it?

There was no actual "Homeworld" mod. I found a whole selection of Homeworld ship models on the web and converted a few of them to work in Starshatter. That's all. Doing a full mod is beyond my capabilities.

In Magic 1.6.1 there is a max poly count of something like 13,384 I know because I've run into it trying to import a 3DS file of the Homeworld2 Mothership that I found on the web.[:(]

<r> You can use Magic which is the application used by the Starshatter developer (I believe he wrote it?) Its available for free download on this site. <SIZE size="2"><s>[size=2]</s><URL url="http://www.starshatter.com">www.starshatter.com</URL><e>[/size]</e></SIZE><br/>

My fighter is a sphere, about 30 ft in diameter. 6 engines, all oriented 90 degrees from each other on each of the six ...

<t> Well, I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.<br/>
<br/>
I check this board almost once a day...i'm waiting for G/S and Magic 2 as well.<br/>

I've dumped a few ships from Homeworld2 that I was working on, onto the Grouper board. They have all the source files so maybe someone else can grab ...

Yes, a bomber worthy of its class.

Question:

How did you open the bay doors? Are they part of the "landing gear" so that raising the gear, opens the bay?

Well,

I always like tutorials that end up making something of use. I know its a lot more work, but it seems a finished tutorial object lets you see the relationships between the tools better than just a set of disconnected explanations. IMHO [:D]

Yes,

Very nice. I'm really anticipating explaination of the more mysterious (black?) aspects of Magic.

Just one little thing: a cube actually has 6 sides (faces) No sweat.
