[Riker2600]

Wow, your Dreadnaught is coming well, by the way, I see that it has a bottom ship bay, will it build capital ship? This Dreadnaught could be a new Flagship..

[apofis920]

no, is a not new mother ship or flagship.this Dreadnaught is "combat cruiser" for hiigaran race. the Dreadnaught Has no function{*office*} of construction. It{*he*} will be build by heavy carrier or on construction orbital site.
. It{*he*} will arrive so by hyperspace if this configuration and held{*retained*}.

:lol:

[apofis920]

hi, new update in six or ten day.

[wookieman]

is this mod finished?

[apofis920]

no, this mod mod is not fishished, beceause i would create a new big ship.
the new big ship:
vaygr:
big red ===> big carrier
http://www.well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/images/concept_flagship07.jpg
Dreadnaught
http://www.well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/images/hw2_0403-g.jpg

hiigaran:
Dreadnaught
http://www.well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/images/concept_Hgn_Dreadnaught.jpg

for the hiigaran's big carrier design is in Development.

for the gameplay, i would inclure a management of the fuel or munition.

[wookieman]

The big red carrier has already been done by the goatman.

[apofis920]

where ??????

[Riker2600]

Go there: http://www.freewebs.com/thenomadgod/main.htm

[apofis920]

thanks you, But, is that it is the truth big red? Because he already seems to me the resources to made out a will and because he not to look like really the reality. he have to add launch missile, which not there the step on concept art.
Which are your opinion ?

[Dorky_24]

looks like a good game i might invest some bandwith

[Moe]

Apparently he is wondering whether that is really big red, as it does not look like the concept. He seems to dislike the missile launcher which was apparently added, even though it was not there on the concept art. He thinks the designer of that model has already changed big red according to his own preferences (not sure about that part) and he is asking for your input.
Give him a break, I'd be happy if my french was on the same level as his english.

[apofis920]

yes, yes, yes
It is exactly that I want to say.

[DarkFortuneXII]

In Goatmans back story the original Big red (IE what we saw in the dust war trailer) was scraped in the Kharos(sp?) graveyard (Mission 6 I believe where the Hiigarans find the dreadnaught). Makaan Left the ship behind because of technical problems and the huge resources consumption it required, Big Red was seen in Kharos was the prototype for the current generations of Command Carriers, witch the Vagyr are constructing (IE, the Command Carrier in Nomad Gods Mod). The CC’s in Goatmans Mob follow more closely to the Picture you provided but has been changed for what ever reason, game play, Poly consternates, artistic Licenses so on and so forth.

Though that’s probably best heard from the Horses mouth.

I think Different mod teams working together is a great idea, but if you don’t like Goatmans and have the ability to create your own then you might as well do so. There is however the CC which Goatman made which you could use with his permission of course. Which is what he was pointing out.

Just want to mention Goatmans Models are extremely well done and well worth looking in to. However the CC isn’t done at the moment, so really there’s not much of a point in adding it yet if you do ask him to lend his talents to this mod.

[Tefeari]

You know revenge is spelled "R-E-V-E-N-G-E"?

[apofis920]

sorry, my small english :!:

[Moe]

Apofis: Try this (http://world.altavista.com/) to translate words if you are unsure. The sentences it produces are usually crap as far as grammar is concerned, but you will get the spelling right at least.

[apofis920]

sorry, but i was tested this translator ===> no good, i use a personal translator.

[Mechcommander]

Well, this is a rather neat mod. Good work!
And, I, for one, am glad to have foreign people coming to our English-only forums. That takes a lot of guts. Thanks for being involved!
:wave:

[apofis920]

i would create this big red (big grey lol):

[AsterXiphos]

Looks very interesting. Can't wait to play it when it's done!

btw, just a friendly correction on your background, it's "Vengeance." Good luck with the english language, all I know in french is my motto: Je suis L'Homme! (American phrase in french, I know . . .)

[wookieman]

ok got some info on the smashed up engines:
http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/index_misc.html

basicly it is an early concept for our favourite god ship 'Sajuuk'

there are also models for massive cannons (scaled up higaren mass driver turrets)

[apofis920]

Mechcommander ==> thanks you but, you still saw anything, await the new version which I am finishing.

AsterXiphos ==> for this backround is a error (old version, my concept).

all==> test this mod, is great ! (lol)

Is that you can put screenshoot on this pages ?

[puffyfluppy]

hi, apofis.

yes, the nomad god people are making some of the ships which you also plan to make, but it does seem like we (nomad god people) are altering the ships slightly... or significantly to suit our needs. the CC as you mentioned above is one example. the cloaking frigate (which i'm doing) has very significant changes as well. (cuz the original looks like ass :p )

anyway, i don't want to speak on behalf of goatman, but i think we were looking for the dreadnaught model you made... so maybe there could be a trade? i don't know.

although based on the screenshots i've seen, the dreadnaught looks like it might have a very high polly count. how many pollygons does it have?

[apofis920]

hi,
About the trade of model it s not me that doing modification but i have friends who do it for me on this project.
And about polygones , you must precise if you speak about deaghnuet of the vaygr or of the hijgaran ?
I know that vaygr ship have 300 polygone and that we must stay under limite of 3000 polygones per ship.

[wookieman]

sorry about my last post.

I put the wrong link.

this is the right one, http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/unknown_16.htm

[apofis920]

I have post an update for the vagyr deathnought, here is some new screenshots:

bye Apo.

[wookieman]

oohhhh

[orderedKnight]

apof, I could be wrong, but I think the nomad god team means they would like to know the exact poly count for the hig Dreadnaught. If it is around something they think if playable, they are suggesting a trade of models, or perhaps you just making it downloadable and giving them permission to use it. I might be wrong though and they ment the unfinished one when you finish it.....

[puffyfluppy]

"they" meant nothing. i was just thinking out loud. and in truth, i shouldn't and do not represent the nomad god team. i was putting the idea out there, i'll talk to goat and see what he thinks about this as he is kinda the god father of the nomad god.

oh, but uh... ordered knight is right about what i was thinking. although, i remember seeing this model done by others as well... possibly ...enterprise? anyway, yeah, i was talking about the hig dreadnaught. and i said what i said about pollys because when i looked at those blue engines, they looked like they might have lots of pollys... but maybe that's just the texture?

ANYWAY, unless you hear more about this from someone from nomadgod, i wouldn't worry about it. i was probably talking out of turn. :p

[apofis920]

Hello, i'm back with a new screen for my big red:

bye...

[YellowKnife]

I dont understand makiing the vgr capital ships have more health..... the higs are supposed to have better cap ships and worse figters

[Dorky_24]

yeh the vaygr are supposed to be reliant on fighters and the higarrans are supposed to be reliant on frigates and higher

[Tefeari]

The "Big Red" or also known as the Command Carrier is already being done by the Nomad God team

http://www.starfleetplatoon.com/~tyreal/Merp/Goat/In%20Game/Arrarrrrr.jpg

See? Or are you trying to make another version or something?

[apofis920]

hi,
YellowKnife ==> in the hiigaran race had have a big-capital ship.

Tefeari ==> yes, but this big red is a no real bid red...

[JFou69]

Hi! I am working with apofis on this mod.
Recently some problems have been appeared

1st problem:
We are scripting some ameliorations on the hiigaran probe, trying to implement the vagyr capacity of the admiral corvette and a possible extension of the sensors.
We have copied these functions :

AddShipMultiplier(NewShipType, "WeaponAccuracy", "OwnShipsWithinRadiusExcludingThisShip", "Linear", 1.15, 1.15, 4500)

AddShipMultiplier(NewShipType, "WeaponDamage", "OwnShipsWithinRadiusExcludingThisShip", "Linear", 1.15, 1.15, 4500)

AddSubSystemMultiplier(NewSubSystemType, "PrimarySensorsRange", " OwnShipsWithinRadiusExcludingThisShip
", "Linear", 2, 2, 0)

AddSubSystemMultiplier(NewSubSystemType, "SecondarySensorsRange", " OwnShipsWithinRadiusExcludingThisShip
", "Linear", 2, 2, 0)

the game don’t crashes but nothing happens.

2nd problem
When I try to import a PSD file a texture file in the maya 5.0 shader, i have this message in the debug window: error reading file. I think that my installation of my plugging is corrupted or is not complete. What must I do for a proper installation ?

In advance, thanks for your precious help.

[kenahk]

I also want to point out that the Hiigaran Dready is also being used by the Taidan Republic Mod!

[Epyon Zero]

man those are some sweet stuff

[apofis920]

and ????????

[apofis920]

helppppp please..
