    • Can someone make this in a plugin? **ENN:new ship**


      Simple request really...

      Take your imagination and design a ship inspired by the Mitsubishi 3000-GT, only thing I'll ask you to do is make it between teh size of a Destroyer and a Fed carrier, let your mind run wild and post any picks of it after its done.

      plz make this plug and send it to me at runsaber@otakumail.com

      Thanks in advance.

      Why would we want to do this for you, making a ship requires quite a bit of effort involving of creating the graphic and everything else. It would be a waste of a lot of effort and time if we created a ship for everyone who wanted them

      Do it yourself.

      Sorry mate, no I can't.

      Bit of advice for you.

      Creating graphics takes time. It's probably the most time consuming part of creating a plug-in. Take this recent ship I made as an example:
      (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/webboard/Forum56/HTML/001544.html#")http://www.ambrosias...ML/001544.html#(/url)

      This took me about 6 hours to model and another 3 to texture. And bare in mind This is a fighter sized ship, no bigger than a viper, so It doesen't have to be very detailed.
      Now think about how long something as big as what your suggesting, this will have to be alot more detailed to look good in the game. Therefore, will take longer. So someones going to have to take 10 hours out of there time to create this. Remember, most of us are students, so we have lots of other work to be getting along with aswell.

      Also, doing something based on a car brings up trouble for us graphic designers. Some of us have only ever created space orientated designs, so this would be a whole new area to attempt. Therefore taking more time.

      Most of the graphics designers are working on Plug-ins or TC's allready. I know I am, so we have precious little time to spare.

      We know jack all about your plug, other than that it needs this graphic for it, if you want anyone to take this request seriously, give us some information about the plug. What will it do, how big will it be etc.

      So it really wasn't such a simple request was it?

      (Rant off)

      OK, the rants over, now for the helpful advice. You want it based on the Mitsubishi 3000-GT, Im pretty sure this is a car. There are plenty of free 3d meshes out there on the Internet, If you have a search you maybe able to come up with a mesh of your car. If you can find this, someone will be alot more likely to spin it and sprite it for you than create a new one from scratch. I wonder if Tiresmoke can help out, If I recall he worked on some racing games.

      But I'd strongly advise you to teach yourself how to make your own 3d graphics. It's alot of fun once you get the hang of it. If you do a board search for 3d software I'm sure you'll come up with some useful topics for getting started.

      Runsaber, sorry for the rant, but I feel It had to be said. It wasn't aimed just at you in particular. I know your new, so stick around, don't let my post put you off. We're all nice guys really. I hope to see some good plug-ins from you in the future.

      If you're going to make requests like this, you'd better be prepared for this kind of answer. Also, I've seen countless times people making "simple" requests for plugins that only add 15 new planets, 2 new races, and graphics for the planets, ships, and outfits, as well as some cool missions, etc. (OK, that's an extreme example. But you see my point.) Before making a suggestion, think about how long it would actually take for someone to do it (imagine yourself doing the whole process, if that helps).

      It's a nice idea, though.

    • If u really want such a plug-in why dont u start to make that plug-in urself ?
      In the beginning it might be hard but with some practice (about 2 weeks) u would be able to program t your plug-in urself.
      If u are really interested go to the Ev nova download page and download some stuff which makes the plug-in making a little bit easier.
      Some stuff like the Mission Computer , the Addships guide or something else.

      The difficult part here is not making the plugin - it's making the graphics themselves. As TheRedeemer said, making some good graphics for this could take many hours - once the graphics were made, rendered and exported it would take probably less than half an hour to actually program the plugin.

      you. YOU. YOU , dammit! it's two more letters than simply "u" and has the effect of not making you look like an idiot. Write correctly, or not at all.

      Sorry, just a serious pet peeve of mine.

      The same reason we should feel compelled to make this guy's ship.

      Really, though, I just find it annoying. And people tend to look down on it as lazy and unintelligent. But that's your problem, I suppose.

      See that line of links just below the New Topic button at the top of the page? The link on the far left is to your profile, where you can, among other things, change your signature.

      Not true, sometimes we make plugs to keep people from continuing to bother us.

      2 shut the hell up this topic is stupid and a space ship like that would have to be majorly alterd to look like a spaceship

      How do you know if he is even planning to use it as a spaceship? He could be using it for a car-racing plug.
