Sorry nijineko I deleted the file after a few days assuming everyone who wanted it had downloaded it, I'll upload it again.

Hi Lestradae,

Any progress? Hope that you are having fun with the code. : )

Hi hwtan,

I have not done anything with it yet ... I`m just not there yet to implement complicated new stuff into the RS successor.

Please remember that I am not "sitting" on the model - if someone else wants to do something interesting with it and CaptKev is OK with that, I can give them the Galactica file, too ...

Cheers

A few years has past. Any progress?

Rather unlikely, because the RS-project in its existing form was discontinued, and we haven't yet heard about its successor, Oolite Extended. As we are approaching a stable release of Oolite, the chances for the latter may be rising. That's a big 'may', however.

I might revist this again using the BigShips OXP that Thargoid and Eric Walch wrote. System Redux needs finishing off first, so much for the Christmas deadline.

Thanks Thargoid, I will give you a shout in due course.

Great news about having both the docking bays working correctly that was the main reason I never finished the Galactica, hoping that one day someone would find a clever way to overcome the single bay limitation.

I am so excited by your responses, CaptKev and Thargoid. I have been a fan of Galactica since the 80s, and till now, I do not have the chance of "flying" a viper. It seems like my dream is realizing. Thank you guys. Perhaps, the next stage could be a mission with the Galactica setting, like the Thargoid Wars oxp, of course using the raiders (of the 80s) instead. I hope that I am not imposing on you guys.

Happy coding.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the BSG models by Coxxon1. These are free to download and use and are all low poly models. All are in 3DS format. I used them to make a BSG mod for Freelancer years ago, primarily due to the low poly factor plus each model uses a single hi-res texture which are very good quality.

Here's a video i made for Freelancer showing off some of the models, sure thay could be used for Oolite if somebody were to convert them : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27wnFqiBlZk

Very nice mod - nice vid - good looking models.

I still have Freelancer somewhere - is the mod complete - I might be tempted to reinstall!

In the middle of updating it atm. With regards to the models, something like the Colonial Raptor is around 2000 polys, don't know if that's too much for Oolite. Haven't got a clue about importing things into this game, FL no problems but Oolite is a mystery to me from the programming side.

Poly count doesn't matter, there is no limitation in Oolite.

Note, however, that strictly speaking there are no polygons in Oolite, either. You have to convert everything into triangles, which your 3d-application can conveniently do for you.

which one was the Raptor? I can only remember the Viper? :-/

I think that was the big boxy 'shuttle' type
