Need modding Help - Errant.Venture - 03-29-2009 Ok so I finally got SWGB saga, and went to heavengames to get some mods....some are good some are decent, most of the ones i want are horrible.... However I was searching their forum in hopes of finding an answer on what editors they use to make models, and make mods....and ultimately failed, there was reference to Genie Editor, but i cant find it in the utilities section With that said, all i am trying/wanting to do, is take an existing unit in the game: In particular, the Landed Republic Assualt Ship (RAS) and make it....Scale size, and delete some of the junk around it. On an advanced note, i want to eventually make a scale landed republic venator cruiser, and have it replace maybe a fortress...and have it be able to build units/garrison with that said, what Free/Trial Programs can i use that will let me do this, and let me make a .mpi file....and once i do, how i can i make it work with the zaynar mod installer? Note: People with modding experience prefered, and particularly helpful people shall recieve credits from me in game. THanks Need modding Help - Leo - 03-30-2009 Try Milkshape. That's what everyone uses for the ships in Freelancer. Look up that program along with maybe a tutorial on Google. ~Leo Need modding Help - Othman - 03-30-2009 Or Gmax but it is slightly more complex to use. I would recommend you to look at the tutorials posted/pinned in the Discovery Developers subforum. Need modding Help - Errant.Venture - 03-31-2009 sorry i havent posted here for a bit... OK so i kinda sorta did what i wanted to....but i still have problems.... here is what i have managed to accomplish: this is the first one, but its render was rather crappy thanks to photoscape(its complete SH**) and here is a beta of my second one...only now i am having problems...because the landing gear looks...southparkish so the new questions/requests are: 1. how the can i make the vanishing point disappear using Paint Shop x2....apparently SWGB does not have vanishing points, and i am doing these betas with the very few photos available to me via Google images. 2. need some advice on texturing....in particular those horrible looking beta landing gear i did with paint. 3. 5-10 million credits to some one who can get me a Very very good quality Picture of a venator, at the same angle as the above pictures, or close....20 million if its got landing gear. Edit: dont try to just send me a link to the one of a venator with an all black background...you will not get credit...i need photos in original condition, in 800x600 or higher....resizing existing pictures doesnt work well enough Need modding Help - Errant.Venture - 03-31-2009 gving this a bump....remember get me a high quality pic of a venator and recieve up to 20 million in game Need modding Help - Jamez - 03-31-2009 You'd be better off using an Acclamator-class instead, Venator-class does not have landing gear. Need modding Help - Errant.Venture - 03-31-2009 Yeah i dont like the acclamators though...they are way to plain in texture...and i know i have seen venators taking off in the movies....anyway this has been updated: Ok got GMAX so now i am offering 10 million ingame credits for the following: 1. A 3d model of a venator which i can import into GMAX-10 million for this 2. A 3d model of a Super Star Destroyer, again being able to use/import into GMAX-10 million Need modding Help - Errant.Venture - 04-01-2009 giving this a bump...wont be back on till tomorrow
