You will note my new username is now rjord2021.

I have signed up for the beta of Distant Worlds 2 some 10 minutes ago and after watching the stream I have a couple of ideas on how to do the modding for the ships in my mods in DW2.

With the 3d model for the ships and bases, you will have the main design 3d shape and then you have to create the 3d components such as engines, weapons, etc that may be added on during the game by the player

This is exactly what I was hoping for so I am going to start doing some preliminary work prior to hopefully being accepted as a beta tester for DW2.

The picture below shows an example of the Design Overview Screen in Distant Worlds 2 with each of the balls being a component you have added to the ship. So for example with the ships I will create for the Star Wars mod for say the T-65 X-Wings you can have a module added for the Incom 4L4 fusial thrust engines and then have a module added for the
Class 1 Hyperdrive and a separate 3d model for the Chempat "Defender" deflector shield projector which will be attached to the main body when you upgrade during the game.

So you build the 3d model for the initial ship or base and then need to have the 3d models for each component.

Just a quick update......
Videos for Distant Worlds 1 will hopefully continue from Monday next week.

I am currently working on Distant Worlds 2 and have started modding today ..... The first project is building a 3D model of a Star Destroyer for the Star Wars Mod.

It's a very good job, I haven't such as skill in 3D !

Over the coming weeks and months I will be spending a lot more time on the Star Wars mod for Distant Worlds 1. I have developed some interesting and new ideas for the game that I am sure Star Wars fans will love.

I will discuss some of these ideas on my youtube channel when new videos resume in the next week or two.

I am back.....

I have had huge problems where I couldn't log in because of one error or another..... and a message telling me my username was not activated.

Just managed to fix the issue...whatever it was.

Will do a post in a few days when I am caught up on where the projects are.
