You should make it drivable

From what I can see, it is.

yeah, pretty sure with it being a vehicle, it would be drivable

So assuming you added ladders to this ship where those bunks are (I know this was discussed), can vehicles have climable ladders? or just BSPs?

The entire floor of the ship will be a 'ladder' so to speak. Yes, it is possible. It's part of the collision geometry.
The only reason I'm making the floors ladders is NOT SO YOU CAN WALK IN THE SHIP WHILE IT'S MOVING but, SO YOU CAN STAND IN THE SHIP WHILE IT IS MOVING

I have the model, only missing 2 sections of hallways, into Sapien, but my tags are so corrupt that I can't play my tutorial map (Halo dies when it starts saying 'loading tutorial.map' )

Thread cleaned.

Thanks.
Now, let's leave it at this:
CLimable surfaces are easy, just set the flag on the collision geometry. That is what I will be doing with the Draco's floors.

Are you sure it will work? Wouldnt the fact that the ship is moving "push" you off the ladder?

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 6:30 pm

No, actually, it wouldn't. Ever modded halo pc so that you walk on walls and stood on the SIDE of the warthog? You stick like glue even when it moves!

Ha, thats pretty cool. Imagine the possibilities for stow away enemies on ships.

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Tue Feb 28, 2006 7:03 pm

And think if I made the whole ship sticky.... They could hide on the cealing!! (and that's why I'm not)

have fun making the collision

looks pretty cool though

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 8:40 am

The collision won't be accurate to the ship, seeing as we don't need every nook and cranny. The hallways will be simple boxes, the tables will be surrounded by a box, etc. The hardest part will be the bridge...

Bump:
Ingame pics anyone?

I have a video-tour of it in-game, but you'll have to wait to see it.

Other ingame facts:
She bounces like a freaking bouncy-ball on freaking steroids! Halo died from exceptions twice during my test run.
Also: My bounding radius is set too high, it wouldn't let me spawn. I scrapped the ship from the map and recompiled. The second run involved spawning all vehicles and trying to get in the dang thing.

TODO:
Fix up physics
Add two remaining hallways to model
Finish collision model

dang that thing bounces...

Ooo

, it looks nice.

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 4:11 pm

Next step: begin work on the map itself. A crude version has been made, with a tiny little shaft running through a hemisphere with a noise modifier placed on it (to make it look like a rock) and that shaft has some crude box rooms in it. I'll upload pics as soon as it looks remotely good.

oh man is it actualy posible to enter it fron the outside? but man it is sweet! love to see some more pics!

and if you need any help you can AIM me.

I'm thinking giant duct tape ball with all sticky sides. >_>

But anyways, looks pretty good ingame.
