TerranCmdr Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Yup, that\'s right, I\'m making Star Wars parts.Just finished my stock TIE fighter, and have the cockpit ingame. Next I\'ll put the rest of it ingame, make sure it\'s all working, then try my best to texture everything. (I suck)Anyway, check out the ugly!Here\'s the full mesh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketscienist Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Looks inetersting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadeass Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I saw that models anywhere, but anyway looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranCmdr Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Progress: in-game and flying. (horribly)On to the engine next, then back to modeling to make some more interesting wings!Also, I\'m having a bit of an issue... I can\'t connect the wing struts directly onto the cockpit, however when I attach them to a fuel tank, then move them, they will attach to the cockpit. Any ideas?

Not sure I\'ve understood...How will it land ? VTOL, or resistant wings like the 'real' one ?I remember someone did X-wing wings... hehehe...this + Death Star mod + particle cannon = THE EMPIRE 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranCmdr Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Eh, hadn\'t really thought about landing. ;PRight now I\'m just surprised it will fly.I might try those... port things that come with the stock .15. Haven\'t tried them yet, but someone said they were like VTOL.My plan is just to put it on top of a rocket and get it to space. Anyway when/if I get to rebel craft, I should have retractable landing gear for those at least.Also I\'ll try to post a vid later of the problem I\'m having.

TerranCmdr Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Noice, I\'ll try that. Maybe I\'ll mod ones that look like part of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mincespy Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Do the side panels provide lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranCmdr Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 They are 'wing' type in the cfg file, so technically yes. Still, flies like a brick. I\'ll make a video of it flying soon.In the future I might modify the wings to act as solar panels, and not generate lift, as this is supposed to be a spacecraft anyway.

Max Grant Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Maybe you can resolve for us, finally, where the 'twin' ion engines in T.I.E. go!Very looking forward to flying too many of these at some hapless Rebel base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerranCmdr Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 That wouldn\'t be fun now, would it? I got the engine in-game and working. Nothing too spectacular, but it completes the look.I messed around a bit and made a TIE Defender-esque fighter. Surprisingly, it actually flies!Of course, I will eventually make a nice looking tri-TIE coupler.Almost done with the Interceptor wings, hopefully will have an in-game update tomorrow.Cheers!

jjdacl Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 This is looking awesome. Great work!I assume you\'re going to do an X-wing next? ;-) (pretty please!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranCmdr Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 I\'m going to finish off most of the TIE parts before moving on to Rebel craft.If and when I move on to Rebel craft though, you can bet you will see stuff like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadeass Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Oh, I forgot. You don\'t need atmospheric wings, you only need GoDamit\'s old Death Star addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThesaurusRex Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 So do we get repulsorlifts and ion engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranCmdr Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Don\'t really know about ION engines.... right now I just have a modified rocket engine with no flame effects and very small fuel draw. I\'m not much of a programmer.Hopefully I can do a release soon so you guys can mess around with the parts. I want to get more built so its not so boring!

Kreuzung Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 You\'re pretty much looking for one of the links in my signature, I guess. Be warned, I haven\'t had time to fix the bugs in the last weeks, and solar panels will probably change enough to break mods based on it, but give it a try.What\'s that first bastard fighter in the spoiler named?I remember reading about it on the wikis, just looks more awesome than anything I can remember...

Lazurkri Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Dude, make sure you replace the default engine noise with that iconic Ion Engine scream before you release this!You know... like the one in the following video:http://youtu.be/XkHdgMOuuBs?t=10s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranCmdr Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 What\'s that first bastard fighter in the spoiler named?No idea, I just found the picture randomly.And don\'t worry, there will be TIE sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
