I will try and help with the voicings if you want. I've done some before and use a Fostex 16 track digital recorder for the base vocal track, it's a lot cleaner than audacity.

Bump for potential

Is that Captain Harlock's Green Arcadia in the background?

Yes... it is... with some little modification... turret are WWII  inspiration, side flak gun added, a backside hangar added, the ugly missile launcher changed by a triple one... no ramming blade at the front...

These ship is enough different from these in the anime for not have copyright problem... the blue version was removed from the anime due to copyright problem so it will not model it...

Texture will be somehow more complex that these in the anime show, i am working on it now... hope finish it for the end of the month... the model is already included in the old beta of the mod but only with a black texture...

  try diffuse filters in the mesh file, look at the CL the DA and one other Normal, I think. Without one or the other the CL or the Diffuse they are almost black, with one of them gone, DA?  They ARE black. 

Could be a million other things, but i have seen this myself modding meshes.

Take a look and see if it is.

Have you already check the .mesh itself ? it seem that the texture was not correctly keep during the xsi or convert-to-mesh step... try to make the .mesh in text mode and check the field at the top of the file, these related to texture... if the field are filed, check if the name is the same that these of the texture... a classic error is the case sensitive thing...

One last thing... the initial basic texture for the Arcadia was made for 1.05... don't remember for the fighter/bomber... but i don't think that it is the problem... if the ship was glowing with the team color, it is almost sure a texture version problem but it is not the case...

If i have time these week-end, i will download your beta and make some check...

Hey is there a way to beta test this mod

Cool, I've recently discovered the Harlock series on Netflix after being pointed that direction is why I asked. The modifications sound well adapted for the game and other issues as stated.

Also, I'm really looking forward to this mod. It sounds like a really fun change up in game play and original too!

Thanks for your interest!

No joke, its nice to actully have some people interestind in what I am doing.

I don't know about the Alpha channel. That is not my forte'.

Thoumsin- I checked the Heavy Cruiser, it seems Fine. It is a bit shiny, but other than that, it is fine.

And I had very little to do with appling the textures on that ship. So I am thinking it is actully just placing the textures in teh wrong spots.

When I get a chance I'll mess around with that, see if that isn't the problem.

Right now, I've been set back. As playing my mod in 1.041 is causing my mod to crash whenever I build certain structures. But I don't get a specific error, it just crashes. I want to fix that before moving on.

EDIT: fixed the error. It was simple, I forgot to add in some abilities. However, the black textures still remain. I have checked the placement of the textures, and they are correct....so wierd. Could the glossiness be messing it up?

EDIT2: fixed the textures. For the capships I had forgot to add in the textures, same stupid problem as I did with abilities. For the fighters, one of the meshes was spelled wrong. Which is wierd, becouse this is the second time thsi has happend....why didn't it STAY fixed?

I think I know what happend.

My method of modding is a bit differnt that others.

I have the mod, but I also have a Mod "workplace" where I keep ONLY the changed files. So, what happens, is whenever I have to update my mod, I just delete the old version. Update the changed files in my Workplace, than "Recompile" the mod.

This makes it easier to track down notorious difficuties, but it then tends to produce some. As sometimes when recompling, I forget to add in a certain set of abilities, causing the game to crash when I try to use the entity that used that ability. (Thus one problem I described about)

Same can happen with meshes. Sometimes I forget to add in a certain mesh, which produced the mesh issues I said above.

IT also means that whenever I make a change, I must do it in TWO places, both the workplace and the mod itself (not hard, just copy/paste). But sometimes I forget to do that, causing old problems to crop up. Which is what happend in terms of the fighter meshes.

It is this system that created all my problems I was mentioning above. But they are fixed now.

I have added the Starbase, now I am working on its abilities, upgrades and reaserches. (AKA, the hard stuff)

I wish!

I havn't found anyone to model it yet.

So Far I am just using the Argonev as a stand in.

That is the problem. My coding may be awsome, but unless I get more help, this mod will never be finished.

lol, thanks steiner!

that pic is awsome too....
