Jack's Parts

I'm not that great with texturing or anything, so I'm working on a more simple project.

;D

Making this would be incredible!!! :)

But then we would have to hide it from the copyright owners of the comic, becausing they are powerful vultures that don't like things copying it.

I won't even mention his name to be sure that google doesn't find out.

I bet the right owners would refuse if the game officially hosted this mod on the forum.

Don't worry, all free content is within legal bounds. Unless Herge they want to make their own mods, and then there could be some trouble.

I hope so. Anyway i'm really looking forward to your project!

[Jack]

The only problem right now is you can't define custom control pods, so I'm gonna work on the booster first.

Edit: Oh, and the lander legs. They are pretty important to the design of the ship.

[Jack]

I am making great progress!

Sorta. The shading is a little messed up on the landers, but it's not visible so... (the seemingly solid red is because of the red texture, it's not specular.)

Oh yeah when the shuttle relies on the lander the legs fall off. But the next (?) update should fix that.

[Ice]

Please make the landers actual landers

[Jack]

They are. The game currently does not allow them to function correctly, as they are portrayed in the book.

[Jack]

Fixed the issue. Sometimes I forget the most obvious and try and make things complex. The lander struts will still be a part, but just for more customized XM1's.

For modders and stuff, I just made it all one part.

You could model a part and texture to replace the default one but then the default would look pretty weird on other rockets

[Jack]

I think doing that would also break most .craft files you have.

Also, the legs booster & legs are only 1.8k polygons. Pretty good for how they look.

[Ice]

Maybe just make it a wing that you can attatch on your bottom part, so it wouldnt stop any engine above it? Or make it hollow, somehow...

[Chester]

This looks awesome. It looks like something the REPCON company would have made in Fallout New Vegas.

[Jack]

Oh, I can do what the shroud decoupler did.

[Jack]

Great for Tin-Tin fans.

Destination Kerban.

Download the Tin-Tin XM1 Rocket Legs, Legs + Rocket.

Finished the lander and legs. ;D

Jack,

If you could, update your first post with your latest files and put a version number in the topic title. This will go to great lengths to help people.

Excellent work btw!

Cheers

Skunky

[Jack]

I always do.

[McLuv]

It would be sweet if each leg was treated individually so that you could choose how many landers there were (and attempt to get the three like in tin-tin ), perhaps even make the center red piece just an LFT.

[Jack]

You can place legs individually, I'll update the file with the blank engine in a bit.

Edit:

Download the Tin-Tin XM1 Rocket Legs, Legs + Rocket, Rocket.

Added a blank rocket with no landers.

[Jack]

I want to finish the suicide rockets.

[Vaccer]

Are those bundles of dynamite or fireworks?

[Jack]

Dynamite.

[JupiterII]

I\'m gonna try the bomb

[Jack]

Some satellite probe fins I whipped up.

[Naiba]

Nice! Does that part store fuel, or did you just put the engine there for looks?
