Interesting... Unused Vanilla mesh files

June 14, 2008 12:04:31 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I've been doing a bit of modding, and I found that there is a gunship fighter for both the Vasari and the Advent. I plugged the mesh in for the bomber and it's an entirely new ship. I don't know if anyone's seen this yet, so I'm just letting modders know. They could be encorporated into a mod pretty easily...

can we get screenshots or is it just files and no actual ship?
(no modding knowledge at all here! )

And once again, the TEC is left out.

Have you tried plugging in Planet Elevators???

You have to add some Null Points to make them work, but there are a couple of them that should be used for other things (I adopted one of the flat ones for a siege platform, and it works perfectly)...

I had another look in the Mesh folder just for the fun of it and found a Tech-repair-ship I overlooked the first time (and it was just what I was looking for (thanks for making me look again

As far as I can remember, the Gunships were going to be the third type of strike craft, but they were dropped really early on.

Ya... I noticed that too, which is why I didn't list that one in. It seems they made Gunships for the Vasari and Advent but changed their minds and didn't finish one for the TEC.

And it is a full ship, complete with hardpoints and textures. I'll see if I can get screenshots, but all you really have to do is change what mesh the fighters call for in the entity files if you want to see them for yourself.

You reckon we can add them back in, though? Will the GUI allow for an extra button in the strike craft area?

No, it won't. We're limited to 2 per ship. We can have as many different types of squadrons as we like, but a ship can only build 2.

I've been using shield meshes to make new spaceships...

The hard part is re-skinning them to look like they weren't salvaged



The pic itself is a spoof of my own mod

In the lower right you see the Space Manatee nosing down the original ship from where the mesh came...
