ok, looks like nobody wants in. i will no longer be checking this post. [b]game over.[/b]

I realize nobody here has joined, but perhaps that's because nobody understands it. I'm going to post the update here anyway. if in a few days of updating here, still nobody joins, i will remove it from this site.

[b]What is this[/b] Naval Assault is a simple turn based forum game. Every player controls a ship in hopes of accomplishing certain objectives. This forum game spans across multiple web forums, so you will be playing with members of other sites. [b]I want to play! How do I join?[/b] Posting here is fine, just try to keep the clutter to a minimum. You will first need to choose a name for your ship. for example: S.S. Lohengrin. I will also b

I like the idea, although i'll probably never be able to use it. UNFOURTUNATELY the game allows install without even asking for a serial code and by the time i realized there even was a code I lost it... so i don't think i'll ever be able to upgrade from the original game...[e digicons]:'([/e]

Thanks Thoumsin, that actually sounds a bit like Deep Paint 3D in the way it works, which is precicely the kind of program i'v been looking for. (especially the freee part)[e digicons]:grin:[/e] I'll definetly check it out. [e digicons]:d[/e]

lol, the version i used before mod tool was back in school, bought and paid for. If I remember right, at the time it was somewhere around a $3,000 program. One interesting note (although not particularly usefull) is the activation key, where for most programs is about 16 digits, it was about 2 pages.[e digicons]:omg:[/e] Try hacking that[e digicons]:grin:[/e] . I don't think any other version of softimage (it's previous name) allows use without buying. I will, however, look

I'll keep that in mind. I'll look into it. Meanwhile i'm very open to any other suggestions.

I'm looking for some good texturing software to help with my modelling. XSI mod tool seems pretty good for meshing but it seems to Deliberately degrade the quality of images used when finishing up the texturing, "Smoothing" the image as well as adding a dotted line across the object. Just to be clear, I'm NOT talking about paint programs like photoshop or gimp or what have you... Any reccommendations? (Must be free software)

One thing i did notice when i textured this one is "Apparently" Mod tool, being the free version of XSI, decreases the quality of the textures once you run rendermap (combine all the various textured used into 1 single image) as well as add the annoying dotted lines along the sides. Likely their attempt to get you to buy the full version. before i ran rendermap the texture i used for the hull of the ship was much better looking, it kinda looked like the ship was covered with all kinds o

I've replaced the image of my untextured ship above with a shot of the same ship i textured since my last post.

oh, and due to something i read in another forum, 30 frigates may not be possible. If i remember right it was said that the limit is 9 of each class of ship (capital, frigate, and cruiser). although combined the total will be close to 30 you'll probably have to divide them between those classes. not sure how accurate this info is but you may have to check it out.

ok, well let me know if you need my help modeling anything. as far as UV mapping (or skinning) I DO have the know how and ability (to apply the textures anyway) but since my "artistic" skills are somewhat lacking the textures i use usually turn out lousy. If you do decide you want my help send me a PM. Actually i do have a model i've been working on just for fun (about 3 hours worth of work) you might find it interesting <img src="http://i904.photobucket.co

actually now that i've googled the images i've decided it's best i post the pics here on account of i found very few pics of what i'm looking for so here are a couple <img src="http://ts3.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1333398417426&id=7f4ccbdf251307459667da4a098c40d7" alt="front view" wi

here's an idea although maybe it would be considered more of a super weapon than a frigate Name- Genesis Role- Anti Fleet/Planet Fires a massive "gamma ray" lazer capable of taking out multiple ships at once or even a planet in a single shot though in all fairness it should have a massive cooldown time. may also be able to fire from one planet to another (similar to the Tec Novalith cannon but is capable of movement) Ability 1- Cloaking although it can

I'll just keep this simple... I'm trying to change the number of fighters/bombers various capital ships can launch but can't find where that data is located. I've been mostly looking in the ships data (eg. CAPITALSHIP_TECHSUPPORT) but can't find anything to do with the number of "aircraft" it can launch. I've also looked in various other files but still find nothing.

Ok, thanks superzero0, i think the issue may be the wrong version because i tried something else that points to nothing other than that possibility to my knowledge. I completely deleted my mod folder and started again, but this time i didn't change anything so the game should read it as a mod but nothing is different and it still crashes. Can i assume i need to update both the game AND the reference files downloads? I think i'm at least headed in the right direction with this now though.

I'm trying to mod one of the ships for TEC, (keeping things simple till i really learn how to do this) All i did was increase the hul and shield points gained per level for the Marza class ship. The problem is that when i open the game and go to the mods section it crashes every time i load the mod and i get a minidump notification telling me it saved a minidump in such-and-such location. Any help?

Thanks, i'll check it out [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I'm new to modding THIS game. I prefer to use XSI because i've known how to use it for years (pre and post mod tool user) so i am fully able to get my objects (or ships to be more specific) the shape that i want them, UV mapping can be a pain sometimes but I do know how. Bus as every game is different, I don't know where to go from there. any help?
