Xeno's Modified Models gallery

I'm open to requests, if anyone has a model they would like to see with glossmaps, damage states or damage textures.

Could you take a look at WW1 ship models made for TR (they've been floating around in other mods too since, but never released on their own)? I'll be willing to upload a pack of those if you agree. Also, I think the one I ripped from EE2 could benefit from all the stuff too.

All the ships? That'll take a bit of time, but sure. If you can upload them, that'll make it easier to grab them all in one fell swoop.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Great! You even did one of them already, Pallada-class Russian cruiser. Here are all of them (excluding the one you already did); you probably should divide them into several packs (all cruisers, all battleships, etc).

This will have an additional benefit of giving all those units a proper release, since they've never been released on CFC outside of TR mod.

Uhg. In the future, avoid RapidShare like the plague. I've always preferred Mediafire. Not only do I avoid the wait time and download limits, but I regularly get several times the download speeds.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Hm... Mediafire gives me an error when uploading files. So I guess I'm still left with Rapidshare, although I agree it's not stellar...

 

[GeoModder]

There's still FileFront.

 

[Wolfshanze]

FileFront, MegaUpload

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Frankly, Megaupload?

Rapidshare is heaven compared to it. Always keep forgetting there's such a wonderful thing as Filefront, though.

Just a heads-up, since these models use custom animations, I can't add damage states. Hopefully damage textures will work, but gloss works fine.

As long as they end up looking nicer than before...

Really depends on your location... Filefront is perfect for some, nothing but trouble for others... same can be said of almost every file host, Rapidshizzle included.

That's why I host my mod on two completely different servers, because combining FileFront with MegaUpload seems to have made everyone happy.

Quick question Hawkwood, did you include Wolfshanze's improved skins in that download?

I redid a LOT of the skins from TRs ships, including some new model work on some of them.

I don't know if his download has all my latest/improved skins or not.

For instance, here's the improved dreadnought skins... I improved the skins of the Japanese, Italian, Turkish and American dreadnoughts (as well as a modified TR model for the American Dreadnought)

I believe I retextured a few of the cruisers too, but I don't recall which ones off the top of my head.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

I must admit I, in turn, have also modified the ship skins. Since Wolfshanze probably worked from the initial skins, we likely have two different "improved" skin packs. So the answer is no, I've included my own improved skins, not his.

Wolfshanze, you should probably upload your own pack here too, so we can compare and decide which ones to use (I like how they look on the screen, but I'd like to look at the model).

I looked at your download... the models in the Wolfshanze Mod that use TR ships are based on your most current updates, not the "initial" ones (I did, in-fact notice some reskins on some of the ships you had improved over the initial ones). So if I redid a skin, it was redone from your most current update, not the initial skins. Case in-point, the Japanese, Ottoman and Roman/Italian dreadnoughts in my pack are different from yours, but were (in-fact) based on your most recent update. Speaking of which, you neglected to include any Italian/Roman ships in your pack here, though they are in your TR mod.

I also redid several cruiser skins... oh, and as I've mentioned before, the French "Dreadnought" in the TR pack is in-fact, a Charlemagne-class Pre-Dreadnought from the 1890s, not a WWI Dreadnought... I'm still trying to get GM to finish a WWI French Dreadnought, which to my knowledge, no such model exists by anybody for any French Dreadnought.

Then you would do well to upload your reskins here, so that Xenomorph can work on them.

I think he has them already... I already have your most recent stuff from TR!

Also... Xeno... sorry... not exactly a quality reskin, but I have very little to work with...

Well, I only have the ones from your most recent Wolfshanze mod release, and even then I still have to dig for each one. It's be easier for me if you could just post all the different skins in one zip/rar file.

Looking good, though the wood seems too light. Then again, what do I know about ships?

 

[Wolfshanze]

v2.85 is the most current version of every ship I have in the Wolfshanze Mod... there's nothing different or "pending" on ship-skins in v2.86 at the moment... I'm still applying cattleprods to General Matt for the new model of the French Dreadnought Bretagne, but I must have the voltage set too low, because it's still not anywhere ready for prime-time.

On the Belfast, I'm just not really happy with this one... the base model is not the best to start with, and despite extensive searching, the best I could come up with on the belfast (of the type of side profile shot I need) is a B/W image, so the best I could do is a greyscale. It now has about 4x the detail on the sides of the ship as the default model had, but like I said, I'm still not happy with it... on the wood deck, it's not my favorite tone, and normally I would change it, but since it's a Brit ship, the wood deck actually pretty-much matches all the other wood decks for Brit ships that Matt has done... the way Matt did the wood decks on most of his Brit ships is fairly painstaking to change, so I never bothered to change them to the wood deck I use on most other ships, which (aside from England) I've kept pretty-much uniform in color... like I said, since it's an English vessel, I left the wood deck basically the same color as all of Matts... if it were to be changed, it would look different then all the other English ships we have models for.

All-in-all... I'm just not happy with the Belfast at the time, but I don't really have any good source info to go off-of... to do any better, I'd really have to commit a bunch of time and do the paint-job "free-style".


The current status of the Bretagne...
