GUNDAM RX78GP01 Alpha Release [23/3/2010] Updated The TShips File

[ external image ]

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////ABSTRACT///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

At the conclusion of the One Year War, the Federation opened the Gundam Development Project,
aimed at creating mobile suits superior to those that Zeon had developed. The RX-78GP01 Gundam
Zephyranthes was the first of three Gundam type mobile suit prototypes completed under this plan.

The RX-78GP01 was designed to be an adaptable mobile suit, able to operate under any condition
on earth or in space; to that end its design is superficially similar to the other RX series Gundams.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////ABSTRACT///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I've included 2 Sizes of this Version, a 1:1 Scale 18.5 Meters tall and a 1:3 Scale. Both the models are essentially the same, it's the stats that vary.
The 1:3 scale is for those who want to use them as fighters so they can deploy and retrieve from carriers.

1:1 Scale
M6 Terran
12 Frontal Guns Shotgun Style
No Turrets

1:3 Scale
M3 Terran
12 Frontal Guns Shotgun Style
No Turrets

I have given the model a metallic finish, as seen in the first Thumbnail. You may not be able to recognize it till you fly it in X3, you will know what i mean.

1:3 vs 1:1 size comparison

-------------------

Note.
I currently have not added the Model's name into the t/ files yet as i do not know how. When spawning look for ID number 350001 and 350002 for Scale 1:3 , 1:1 respectively
It is also not added to any shipyards or so ever, i do not know how too xD, anyway this is just the alpha version.

My query section
Question for Modelers regarding effects. someone point me a direction..
I'm using it in my quest for shield effects for GP03D.

Thank you.

Glad to see you finished it. Time to do Wing Zero and place it in an XSP

What will the Gundams have for equipment. I would suggest either 2-3x 200MJ shields perhaps?

Shadow dream · Post by **Shadow dream** » Sun, 28. Feb 10, 18:23

yay! Someone who does something cool for X too

I just love mechs, they just look so cool

Maybe you should get a look into "code geass" and "macross frontier", I like those too

please make a proper mod (= add them to different races) with those, would be awesome!!

LOL.. yea it sure is cool. Hmmm I'm not going to make a whole Gundam series into the game yet, i do have plans but not yet. (:

///////////////////////////////////////

Here's an update. I've managed to make the eyes GLOW !! lol
maybe post a screenshot later on.

Thanks to tutorials from x3dmod.

Gotta add some grainy details onto the GP01 to make it less toyish.

I'm also gonna pick up on transparent textures and meshes for maybe shield effects.

~I never knew it was that easy.~[/b]

Nope, animations such as that won't work for the game. However you could a continuosly moving animation.

Perhaps some sort of transformation like script which when docked and unpiloted destroys your ship and replaces it with the same ship but in this case a different standing animation.

EDIT - Urbanfreak, you could always turn the arm into a turret. I have not seen how oyour model works in game but if you create the arm as a turret you could rotate and fire it. If you had lets say Left Turret [L Arm] and Right Turret [R Arm] with the commands attack my target it should appear as though it's aiming at the ship.

O.o ... Turret ? yea i know it can be done, but yet again i've yet to learn how ` XD

Okay X3 community.. Alpha's UP !

i'll only be back after... 10 hours.. 2am now

Lord Dakier · Post by **Lord Dakier** » Mon, 1. Mar 10, 19:53

2am what country you from?

Yeah I know erm... who was it now... erm... damn I hate these moments... Observe who had the mech ships placed in his mod. Only difference is his didn't have legs. Try talking to him see if he can help you out.

Really a pity they dont work, would make for an awesome mod if they did

I wonder what the X2 Boron did use.

Lord Dakier · Post by **Lord Dakier** » Mon, 1. Mar 10, 21:01

A continuous animation

I never looked before blowing them up.

But, as I'm aware you can only have the model move (animate) when either firing or having a continuos animation such as with the HCP's radar sensers.

Shadow dream · Post by **Shadow dream** » Mon, 1. Mar 10, 21:28

correct. you can't add specific animations. either they run continuously or no movement at all...
as LD mentioned the only way of specific animation is in using the body as a laser. but this would look stupid because you can't do such things as bend the knee

but maybe something with the arm might be possible

Shadow

Lord Dakier · Post by **Lord Dakier** » Mon, 1. Mar 10, 23:19

Yeah if you had the arm in an [L] shape then it shouldn't look to wierd i.e arm body inside model body.

urbanfreak · Post by **urbanfreak** » Tue, 2. Mar 10, 02:38

I'm back ~ let's see.. after 7 hours of sleep ...

So you figured out where i am on earth? or the universe for that matter? =P
Observe's Mechs turrets, there are tutorials for it but i doubt it will look realistic.
Like you mentioned the arm going into the body, and to add on the turn rate of the turret... it will seem like his arm is dislocated.

I wanted that too but X3's engine wasn't build with this kinda thing in mind, only continuous animations for example the trading stations.
It's possible if you're playing it on Microsoft Flight Simulator X... lol..

I think everyone is too lazy to do all the values and that

I can't understand how the arm would look dislocated.

this would be the arm from a birds eye view... L

The would be it from the front and back... _

If we slanted the shoulder to elbow it would like this... /I\
/ = left arm
I = body
\ = right arm

So from the left angle you would have an arm which looks like this... L but slanted forwardly to the right if that makes sense. Then the only way for the army to go inside the body and look odd would be for the arc to be too big. It generally should work.

Lazy? maybe... 6 downloads so far..
Did you try out the Gundam yourself, Lord_Dakier?

I can visualize what you've stated.
Now visualize this using your explanation as the base.

[ external image ]

The Blue ARC is where i want the ARM to rotate only. about 90 and 135 Degrees and not full 180 Degrees from the elbow joint.
Red Lines and ARC is where the Unnatural Human Arm Dislocating thing comes in.
Try posing according to the pictures and see how far your human arm rotates Lord_Dakier..

If i can narrow down the arc of the camera and turret instead of a full HemiSphere, then it'll be nice to have.

If so, is there a way I can control the ARM turret in camera_1, Cuz when controlling turrets you cannot control Ship movement.
So cockpit mode, Head moves, ARM moves to where you're facing.... Body stationary/relative to ship controls...

I like the picture i just created.. kinda cool.... Metallic shine look Rendered in 3ds Max

Well thats what you would lose out on unfortunately. You can't control a turret and ship at the same time. However with an attack my target then it would be all the same I suppose. You could always make to versions. Finish your version now then cut the arm from the model and create a turret model with it. I'm not sure how it works but this should be able with 3DS Max or Gmax or whatever else it is you use.

Being that I am forbidden to lie I can honestly say, I am too lazy to change all the values

Well I also don't know what I'm changing and would rather not mess up my files as they're nicely organized [for once]... Try and get someone to throw it in an XSP format for you. You'd get alot more downloads.

Shadow dream · Post by **Shadow dream** » Tue, 2. Mar 10, 21:53

creating a new gunbody is not only gmax-work. it would be if you'd just change an existing one

in some documentary I read about the details you have to care for (as in which directions the bodies should be able to move). but it didn't sound complicated at all. so if you have the time give it a try

(and no, I don't remember where I read that)

what you could do with the arm is, that the shoulder would have a y-achsis and the ellbow an x-achsis twist. it may look better than having the arm as one body... ?

Thanks jlehtone, for reminding me of the oversized image. D=

Okay for the benefit for every Lazy soul, i have updated the TShips to include all the Vanilla ship Values.. So now all you need to do is place it into Mods Folder and... select Mod Package.. and test it ~~~ (:

Actually, i'm foreign to this XSP. what is it exactly?
I have read it somewhere in this forum but i can't seem to find it now.
All i know is it contains a whole lotta stuff.

I still prefer the usual Cat and everyone else i know sharing SHIP mods all come in Cats.... except for X3 reunion or X2, i know one uses XSP.

Interesting, Shoulder and Arm axis/achsis.. one for each.
Thanks much, i'll read up more on that...
