Yeah I figured, those cross textures are a pain to do even if the UV was big enough. And very nice space stations, especially the last one.

About the stations, with exception from the SluisVan station made by Flavid many time ago for the game Xwing Alliance, all the others are models from me, some of them following old designs from XWA. The next days you will see some more.;)

At the end, I have added more titans with abilities, for some of them I have added a very long colddown time, I would like know if there is a limit with it or a infinite number. It would be a good idea for some like heroes or unique units. Other question would be if there is a ability for cloack units.

I have added a few new units more, probably you find them curious.;)

The Knighthammer.

This is a mini deathstar, the Imperial starbase.

At my FOC mod, the lusankya shields with the rebel flag were different, here I do not know how make some materials and I have added them as you can see here.

X-wings and Y-wings.

The Rebel Alliance starbase.

The Iron fist.

It can be more of one Titan but I have coded the other Titan as capitalships and they run well.

I know this is still a bit early, but what are you going to do about the scale problems? Those Super Star Destroyers are longer than planets and makes the "mini deathstars" look trivial.

I think I'll definitely be asking to use that. 

Very nice textures on those.

Is that your own design or does it have a name?

I can't really tell from that screenshot, but did the Iron fist look any different from the Executor? I don't remember much of the main books that talk about Zsinj, but I only seem to remember Knighthammer and the New Republic Lusankya as being noted to be visually distinct. If there isn't any or its trivial, I don't know if you'll want to use up space by using separate meshes for it.

Oh dear, there's a Death Star model now in Sins. This is terrible. I'm going to get swarmed with people asking me to put the Death Star ingame now. :v

I have thought about the scale problem but.......I have used the scale from the original soase models, if I reduce it more....a corellian corvette would be......nothing. I prefer ignore it, if it was very bad, perhaps I can make bigger the planets. 

The Rebel Alliance Starbase without any upgrades, it is a design from the old xwing alliance game, you could see it at some missions. I made by myself most of the stations from xwa and I have many more made by other people. The name from the it would be Rebel station.

The iron fist and knight hammer have purple engines and more shield turrets. All the ssd after endor added better more shield turrets or they deleted them as the Vengeance from Jerec. Speaking from Jerec, I have plans for edit the model more as the original, the wings should be smaller. But yes the changes between Iron fist and executor class were not too much, the changes are more at textures, the screenshots are not good for show it.

The xwing texture is one from Evillejedi with a few changes, the Y-wing is one new made as the xwa model with a turret. I will add the A-wing, E-wing, B-wing, K-wing, Xj-wing, T-42 and Eta-5. At the end, I have not plans for ignore most of the space units from my FOC mod, I want use all them if I can. Of course I´m making changes for to make them with the soase features. 

About other one curious things, I have not plans at least by the moment for divide sides at folders, I do not see it as a great idea, it is a mess for most of the people.

For end, one question and one plan, can be more of one starbase added? 

With the Death Star, I´m thinking to add it as a super unit which it can be upgraded starting from the death star prototipe to the Death Star II. I have not tried it but I would be surprise if it can not be made. If you are thinking it, the Empire will have a lot of super weapons but its starships will be vulnerable to a fighter attack. 

If you want a model from my mods, you can make three things, one wait to when I upload it on the soase skydrive, two ask me and third take it by yourself.;)

I forgot show you a few things, they useful probably for you.

Perhaps you did not see this assault frigate.

The mod strike cruiser, a design from the old game xvst balance of power, the strike cruiser is from DTM.

And this other, the Tector ISD, the Warlords tector has hangar bay but a tector should not add it probably. Of course everybody is free from add models as they like and I will accept always them as good, other thing is if I like them or not.

This model is not very different to the warlords ISD, in fact probably the new botton parts can easily be added on the warlords model and the isd from my mod, all them use edited textures from ej. I show you this work as a offer, never for show it better than other things.

Actually, EJ never made a Tector. In SoGE, the Tector originally used the ISD-II's model as a stand-in.

The problem with bigger planets is that it reduces game performance, as larger gravity well sizes exponentially increases the computational load of pathfinding. I believe that is why Sins of a Galactic Empire went with the smaller scale option.

Well, it seems like you certainly have a lot if you even have the weird Assault Frigates that look like Nebulon-B2s. Problem is with the conventional factory system you're limited to 18 frigates, 9 capitalships, and 9 titans (though you can only have 1 at a time). You could spawn an addition 12 or 15 from abilities on the shipyard structures, but that is not an ideal way of doing things.

The strikecraft are a bit less problematic, you can only have 4 per carrier but you can give different strikecraft to different carriers. And you could give strikecraft to every unit in the game if you wanted to.

It is a pain, but if you're running into game performance issues it maybe the last thing you can do.

Yes you can, but they share the same starbase limit. So if a starbase limit at the planet is one, you could only say build a  death star or a golan platform, but not both.

Gratefully noted sir.

 There is a special plugin for 3d max (alamo2max), opening a .Alo In 3D Max  

For 3DMax 6\8\9. Iam use Max 9.

Object3Dconverter I use in the most severe cases) when other ways to open the file fails.

question:

I want to make the construction of the Titans (SoSe:Rebellion) , unlimited, as other ships.
Maybe somebody tell me what files to look?

I looked through all the files in GameInfo, but do not see where there is a restriction on the Titans. Or do not understand how it works 

building titans is a hardcode, BUT you can spawn(by ability) an unlimitied number(which will be level 1) but only the last destroyed will be able to be re-built at its level at distruction.

harpo

There is a chance from reduce the scale, at least it would not be a lot of work if I make it now.

You could spawn an addition 12 or 15 from abilities on the shipyard structures, but that is not an ideal way of doing things.

Yes but you can add them on other buildings. But the amount of models is not too big with my idea. Many of them will be spawned from complete fleets. By example there will be a fleet with the Predator, Warhammer and Dominance, other with the Assertor, Bellator, Secutor, Vigil and Custom corvetter and one more from Giel´s starship and his escort starships. It would be 10 different units with only three abilities. 

It is a pain, but if you're running into game performance issues it maybe the last thing you can do

I´m not sure that you win nothing of performance with it but as you say, it would be the last thing, I will check first the normal way and after it the other.

At my mod Golans are the replacement for gauss plattforms by example. Rebels uses Golan II, Empire Golan III and pirates Golan I. They are well balance because they have not anti fighter weapons and the range of fire is not too long.

About Death Star.....I have not published a screenshot from a death star, I published a screenshot from this.;)

But even if the limit is one starbase by planet, more of one option can be useful. Other thing can be if I have a different unit more for it. At least with super units.

The starbase limit can be changed, the default is 1 for planets and 4 for stars.

harpo

What do you know about this tool https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/326876/page/2/#replies ? is there any problem if I use it? it can be my best chance from change the scale from the models made by the moment.

Actually, EJ never made a Tector. In SoGE, the Tector originally used the ISD-II's model as a stand-in.

Yes it is the reason because I edited a EJ´s ISD for to make it as a Tector.

neoburg's mesh resize tool (as far as in know) still works for re-sizing meshes.

harpo

Thanks to the gods and the creator of this tool, I do not want remake again 160 mesh.......of course few moments ago I tested it. Very useful. I will use a scale similar to warlords, it will be 0.2 from the scale of the units that you can see on screenshots.

Yes, but I thought you had to use the meshes in the pre-diplomacy text format. Or can it handle that mipmap line Rebellion added.

I can confirm it works with Rebellion meshes fine.

Awesome! I guess that makes a little script I wrote to convert between Diplomacy and Rebellion meshes pointless (though I think the matlab mesh tool does need Diplomacy ones), but I'll take it. I haven't checked, but I don't suppose anyone has figure out how to batch resize?

Neoburg's mesh resize tool is already a batch converter; as long as you are OK with all meshes using the same resize value, you can keep on adding source meshes to it.

Ah, well clearly I have only used its most basic functionality. That will save me a lot of time.

Thanks for the reply.

I mean a little bit more.
Restrictions on the Titans hidden in the exe, I correctly understand ?
And change it by editing the files in the GameInfo not - right?

The only option - added ability.
I do not quite understand - This ability to be added to the Titan or the factory which produces from?

Yes.

Doesn't matter where you put the ability. You could give it to a trade port if you wanted. Using abilities like the Vasari returning armada you can spawn in any ship that can phase jump, including titans.
