i need someone who can do texturing (have two models that need it)

Likewise here...getting my first 6 ships online (with abilities, stats, etc.) then worry about textures !

Got a whole book of information of texturing under XSI 6 to read ! Lots of hours are flying by! But hell its worth it!

Sweet! so I can focus only on this great tool which is mod tool 6 (which is extremely laggy after being on for 12h straight ) *forgot to close it before left for university

hahahaha,,,, just leave it to me... btw what can you say about Exia??? and... i dont know if i can do the texturing on my ships.. i need someone t do it...

just go to the first page and look at it.. i have the whole image there and several GIF of its abilities

hahahaha..... especialy Strike Freedom....

I have little artistic talent, but I'm a decent scripter.  coders have the second toughest job next to game testers; making those balancing tweaks that aren't game breakers for the mod.  my interest would be in specialized fleets unique to each race.  Helps keep gameplay fresh when one race relies on cap ships while another is able to ambush with small frigates and disable cap ships before picking them apart.

If you're looking for a coder or game tester, let me know.  Keep in mind that frigates are hardcoded to shoot at fixed distances.  capships with side guns are able to shoot on the move at least, so if you're looking for a GUNDAM sword attack to move your unit past a target as it slices away, forget it.  Far as I know, the models are static, and it's the weapons and special abilities that are the movable parts.

Rotating sections are doable.  Its via a particle effect.  The entire rotating section is the particle effect.  They basically make something as a model, then import it into Particle Forge as a particle effect, then they attach it to the model as a flair.

out of curiosity, do weapons deliver a fixed amount of damage after factoring buffs and abilities being used?  what I'm wondering is if weapons do random damage and sometimes miss.  My impression of weapon attacks is they deliver X amount of damage and some buffs/abilities will increase this amount, some will decrese it till a calculated value is reached which ends up damaging the target, and random rolls aren't factored in.  I've yet to see a weapon miss a target unless it phased out of the gravity well.

Also, I'm curious to know where the mod developement is at.  Have you decided on base models for each faction, or which factions make the final cut?  and what has been put into mod form so far?  if there's a link to it I'd like to check it out myself.

after reading the recent post... Exia is armed with beam gun so i'll just ut the usage of  Seven Swords on skills.... so its normal attacks are beam attacks... and yeah i was about to ask the rotating thingy if its possible coz i'll add a mobile fortress on ZAFT...

Mobile Suit Evasion is possible right?

Upgrades on Evasion is also Possible right?

Is one hit kill on frigates ,cruisers and capital ships possible?

Is 100% evasion  possible?

is a mass kill beam weapon possible?

can i make torpedo make a direct hit on hull?

is torpedo mine possible?

 is it possible that damge could only be focused on shield and not on hull?

is a mobile cannon possible?

is range/melee weapons can be interchangable?

thats all my question..... i hope someone answers that

well... i'll be out for a day.. i had school to make... i'll just laydown the full recap of what im doing later... jane

1. By evasion do you mean to-be-hit chances?  Or just flying and dodging that way?  That can't be done, however to-be-hit chances can be done via abilites and buffs.

5. Mass kill beam weapon is VERY possible.  Have you ever seen the Radiance's Cleansing Brilliance beam in action?  THAT'S a beam of mass destruction.

6. Do you mean ignoring shields?  Phase missiles do that, can be done via research, not sure about abilities doing it.

8. Easily done.  If you look at the weapon entries for the various units, there is a line called "DamageTypeModifier" and usually it says "AFFECTS_SHIELDS_AND_HULL", however if you change that to "AFFECTS_ONLY_SHIELDS", then only shields will be damaged.  And I *think* there is a special modifer for abilities, not sure what it is though.  Probably DoDamageToShields.

10. Melee weapons CAN be done, just really, really hard to do.  And due to hardcoding, not fun to look at.  Unless it is a fighter doing the slicing, no fly-past-then-slash-again for it.  So IF this is done, do it for a FIGHTER Gundam.  Byt that I mean it is a strikecraft attached to a larger vessel.  Otherwise we get stuck with a Gundam hovering there point-blank slicing the target, which is incredibly boring.

1. Ships can be given chances to evade, however they still won'y move in combat.  Sorry, but you would need to micro them a lot to get the desired effect.

2. Evasion is in the game already.  Sorta.  Like I said, ships can be given a buff that makes a certain percentage of shots miss.  Unfortunately, like I said above, the ships STILL stand still.  So they will be missed, even if they are just standing there.

3. No, no there are no critical hits in Sins.  A weapon does not have a chance to hit something and then do more damage that way.  There are no damage variances in Sins.  Weapons always do the exact same damage with every shot.  So if a weapon were able to one-hit kill something, it would be doing A LOT of damage.  A standard Sins frigate has what, on average 400 shields and 400 hull?  So in order to one-hit-kill, the weapon would need to do over 800 damage per shot.  Which is unbalanced to say the least.  However, if you implement a "Sniper Shot" ability that does massive damage, with a high cooldown and antimatter cost that might work.

4.  Yes, it is possible to have something dodge everything shot at it for a set period of time.  Abilities can do this.

7. I'm not sure.  We don't have mines after all.  At least not until Entrenchment we won't.

9. You basically mean a ship with a huge-ass cannon?  It can be done, just make a ship that is a huge freaking gun.

11. Impossible.
