A very good ship, Tenk! Congratulations!




I hope not to be "redundant", but is it possible to port it to X3R, too?

[Bertone]

Take a look at the bottom turret: in the TShips file it has the same Path Index of upper one.

Could it be the problem?

Excellent ship Tenk!

I went in and added the Guass Cannons to the main guns to give her a bit more ummpphh. Now if I wanted to add another gun to the turrets where would I start?

[Raben Schwarz]

Thank you Tenk!
Hm... got the Problem that the Engines aren't glowing (as someone who posted before me). I had to downturn the Shaders to medium - could that be the Problem ? I'll try Sir Squallus hint.
Anyway - She's a beauty.

One of the best ships I've ever flown in X3 - totally awesome!!

Tenk, this may be important: I was looking through the TShips file in your mod and accidentally noticed that Katana (Terr M6) has SS_COCKPIT_TER_UPDO_M6_TENK (id 152) as a bottom turret. Is it some kind of bug in my X3 Editor or you really changed Katana? To make it clear, I've only removed Apricot PBE (since I don't have it:), the rest of TShips file is untouched. Anybody, just check your (in this mod) TShips entry for Katana, please.

EDIT: found Apricot PBE/PPC in TC stock cat file.. What's this? Never seen it in game..

okay the katana turret, i don't think is a problem, because it's like that in my tships file and i merged the Normandy into it manually. it is wierd though so i might be wrong - i ended up fitting Normandy in by trial and error, so i may have lost track of a step somewhere.

The up/down turrets should use a new cockpit I included in the Tcockpits, it does seem to be causing some problems though. I'll take a look at it.

I'm gonna fix what I can now and hopefully get a new version out later today.

[Tenk]

amurph0: I was unable to recreate the ReadText error your getting, my only guess is its something else interfering with it.

The turrets on the Katana and Vidar had changed to my versions. When I made a new turret it got slotted in at 152 in the TCockpits file, probably my fault. The Vidar and Katana used 152 so they had my new turret installed. I've changed there turrets to 153, the original Terran M6 turret they should have.

Turret firing has been fixed, was a problem with turret rotation in the scene file, they look funny now but work. I might look at making proper up/down turret models because X just seems to use normal ones and you have to rotate them to get the arcs right.

I was unable to change the engine glow without adding particle effects, which I don't know how to do. It currently uses a post processing filter on the texture to make it glow, if you have you shaders set to medium or below, the engines won't glow
I also couldn't change the colour of the glow, that's taken from the .DDS and I don't want to have to add my own textures at the moment.

X:R I don't have installed so I'm unable to make the conversion unless its something simple, since I won't be able to test it.

Any other problems that are found let me know

[semiliterate]

any chance there's an easy way to add an extra slot to the turrets? i have doubleshadow's editor and can find it and everything, i just don't know where to look to find numbers for the Add Gun button, or even if that's the right one.

love it, the ship is well-balanced. it doesn't feel like cheating, unlike springblossom.
