SW Empire Shipset V1.4 |
Well quite some time has passed since V1.3 and there were several things that needed fixing...and I hope that I finally have them all done in V1.4. 
I have added some new models:
Small(Tie tank), Medium(AT-ST almost!) and large troops (AT-AT).
Satellites.
Changed around the medium and large fighters...TIE interceptors are smaller that TIE bombers it turns out!
Added a new large frieghter and so moved the old large freighter to medium and medium to small.
Resized the SSD (baseship) This reduction in size cannot be helped and pehaps won't please SW fans, but the game does not cope well with such large models.
Resized the carriers slightly. The light and medium carriers have been slightly increased in size.
Fixed the missing Drone and mine textures.
I am going to post a link to the download here to give people a chance to report any problems after a week or so I'll send it over to Fyron at Spaceempire.net and upload it to the PBW server...having fixed anything that gets reported!

Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
Over at spaceempires.net ( http://home.spaceempires.net/downloads-cat-38.html ) You can find the Rebel Alliance and the Old Republic ship sets, as well as many more non SW sets.
Once this one has proved to be bug free, I'll start work on my Alliance set again, as I'd like to add troops, sats etc.
Yes, there is an easy way to resize models...you need to go in to the shipset folder and find the "Insertshipsetnamehere_Ships_XFileClasses"
Open it...it is a notebook file and you will find a list of all the ships the first one is normally the frigate.
Example:
Name := Empire Frigate
XFile := Empire_frigate.X
Override Texture Filename :=
Base Model Radius := 3.0
Starting Rotate X := 100
Starting Rotate Y := 0
Starting Rotate Z := 25
Starting Scale X := 0.018
Starting Scale Y := 0.018
Starting Scale Z := 0.018
Starting Position Offset X := 0
Starting Position Offset Y := 0
Starting Position Offset Z := 0
To resize in the sector view you'll need to change the following...though you'll need to keep all three the same value or the model will get distorted.
Starting Scale X := 0.018
Starting Scale Y := 0.018
Starting Scale Z := 0.018
If you want to change the system view size you'll just need to change the Base Model Radius.
Just bear in mind that if you increase or decrease the size of a model you may also need to reposition the firing points and engine glows as they may now be inside or well outside the model, depending on what you've done.

Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
Hi Tak, good to see you are alive and well. How is the family?
Glad to see you are updating the Starwars shipsets. They really are nicely detailed ships.
Funny really. I went a long time involved with the development of Sins of a Solar Empire (I even got my name and a special thanks in the game manual..yay!). However, in the end I find myself back at Space Empires V for the depth of gameplay and strategy. I guess nifty graphics simply aren't enough for me.
Let me know if you are interested in some multiplayer. Perhaps we can get a big game going with a bunch of us (at least those of us who can play regular hours).
Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
Hey Nath,
Yeah still here and the family is keeping me very busy... And I don´t even want to talk about work!
We are waiting to start a game with the new balance mod 1.15, when it comes out...I'll PM or mail you and let you know.
Well, nobody has reported anything so I'll get this over to Fyron later today.

Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
Excellent. Also, count me in on that multiplayer game.
Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
I have sent 1.4 over to Spaceempires.net, it should be up shortly and removed the download from this thread.
There has only been one change:
Added more amour slots to the SSD.

Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
Thank you, looks even better than the older versions.
Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
Fyron is there a problem with the SW ship set 1.4 sent to Spaceempires.net or are you just slacking?
Let me know

Re: SW Empire Shipset V1.4
Looks very nice, will there be other shipsets from the Star Wars Universe coming? I might decide to go add some Star Wars style weapons and see how well I can get turbolasers to work.
Also, is there an easy way to simply resize an existing model without the use of a modeling program? (Reason I'm asking is that the Amarr Avatar Titan model is abit too small, and i want to bump it up abit, but I don't do modeling).
