Celebrating Faulcon de Lacy's 25 year aniversary of the release of the Cobra Mk III, I am proud to present the limited edition Solid Gold Cobra Mk III.

While bearing the same stats as the original, it comes with bull/towing-bars, side impact armor, extended fore/aft laser barrels, landing struts, intake fans, and external cameras.
(All of which are purely cosmetic and have no functional use at all.)

as mentioned earlier, it's a limited edition, being extremly rare you'll likely never encounter one in space or in the shipyard :P

***Update*** 10/June/2010
Updated to use materials instead of shaders.

Just realised i typed Faulcon de Lacy instead of Cowell & MgRath, but there are some sources that claim Faulcon de Lacy bought out Cowell & MgRath, so i'll leave it as is.

Have you used the material data to make it really, really shiny in-game?

only with shaders, not quite sure how to do it with material.

Something like:

Code: Select all

materials =
{
    "adck_texture_name.png" =
    {
        diffuse_map = "adck_texture_name.png";
        diffuse = ( 0.25, 0.25, 0.25 ); // Make base colour darker; it doesn’t make sense to have an intense specular reflection _and_ a bright diffuse colour.
        specular = ( 0.75, 0.75, 0.45 ); // Pale yellow, darkened to 75 % intensity. Self-coloured specular highlights are characteristic of metals.
        shininess = 100;
    }
}
With a shader, you could also add a faux star map, as demonstrated by several of Griff’s ships (also tinted yellow).

I'm guessing:

Code: Select all

		<key>materials</key>
		<dict>
			<key>adck_texture_name.png</key>
			<dict>
				<key>diffuse</key>
				<array>
					<string>0.25</string>
					<string>0.25</string>
					<string>0.25</string>
				</array>
				<key>diffuse_map</key>
				<string>adck_texture_name.png</string>
				<key>shininess</key>
				<string>100</string>
				<key>specular</key>
				<array>
					<string>0.75</string>
					<string>0.75</string>
					<string>0.45</string>
				</array>
			</dict>
		</dict>
will work for XML? will soon find out.

		</dict>
this is what i ended up going with, i removed the:

Code: Select all

            <key>diffuse</key> 
            <array> 
               <string>0.25</string> 
               <string>0.25</string> 
               <string>0.25</string> 
            </array>
part cause that made the whole ship really dark, like it was constantly in shadow.

That gold ship looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out. Sure hope pirates don't mess up the armor with laser fire.

Hehe, you'll have to tell me if it still works, made this OXP a long time ago and haven't updated my OXP's since my return.

I will update all my OXP's eventually, but now that I have a job my time to spend on making stuff is much less than it was.
