Fixin up an old classic, AP GUNNER restoration

Harlock776 · Post by **Harlock776** » Tue, 14. Mar 06, 08:42

I decided to take the ol AP GUNNER mesh to the local body shop and fix her up and dump her in game in the next version of my mod:-) So far the work is progressing well but I'm having a bit of trouble around the external cockpit part it's more seriously banged up that the rest of the ship was. I will hopefully have her finished soon and post some pics here. I don't wanna change the texturing much so it will be more to the original but of course take out all the rust and set two guns up front instead of just one.

I think I will call it the "argon sonra" since the name "argon gunner" sounds too hillbilly lol. Try saying it three times fast and you don't wanna say it anymore hehe. Yeah sonra it is unless someone has a better name that more closely matches the storyline of the game?

Well the paint is still dryin but these pics came out well. Keep in mind that these screens were shot in argon prime so everything has a blue tinge to it there. The parts are actually the AP GUNNER parts but I restored them so all visual hull damage was deleted and replaced. There are no wasted polys on this model anywhere.

Well uh... release date will be soon hehe:-) More like a few weeks since I've found some interesting results when changing the body number for the control jets. I wanna use control jets on all 63 ships in me mod lol and I'm still not done upgrading all ships visually so it will be a while. That is a beam weapon it's part of my mod not something default.

Don't think it exists anymore, but i would like it as well!

Harlock776 · Post by **Harlock776** » Thu, 20. Apr 06, 23:13

Lol it does exist and will be released along with the next version of my mod. The work on the rest of the mod is taking longer than I thought though so it might be a few more weeks.

Could you please release the AP Gunner model as a seperate mod now please, so that people who just want to fly the AP Gunner (like me) can fly it now without having to install the rest of the mod?

I really want to use the AP Gunner as my personal ship!

I can't remember atm but if you have X2 and can see the tships file in x2editor you will see the listing APGUNNER and it's the scene number from there that will list the default parts.

Is the Gunner gonna be part of the TopGun v2.5? If you need help adding in the ships I can help. I just can't 3d model---yet!

Duendote · Post by **Duendote** » Fri, 16. Jun 06, 06:32

Another thought for the AP Gunner, If you Call it the AP Sonra, that could be kind of funny. I put one of the old ones-battered and shot up- in and called it a replica, that way You don't confuse the story line any.
I wonder if I am makeing any sense, its late and I am a little loopy.

So, are you going to release a mod for the sonra to be downloaded?

If so, when?

Duendote · Post by **Duendote** » Wed, 14. Mar 07, 03:16

Harlock already did in the Top Gun 2.5 version along with several new and very cool ships. Just look for it in the mods section.

Gee Harlock it looks like these guys are kind of behind the times.
he's working on V3.0 of the top gun mod. Invloves some changes... Im not sure if I can actually say. Would that be ruining the surprise?
