First Off, I would like to ask why I have never even seen the place before accidentally stumbling over a news post on some armada news website.

Secondly, I think a friendly forum invasion is due, or at least just let them know we know they are alive.

Seriously, this is the best and closest bet we have with a FS RTS, check it out at least.

Ooooh. This calls for further investigation.

And a banana.

/me readies provisions for expedition.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Is that our Black Wolf there?

[RangerKarl]

I was wondering the same thing.

[Black Wolf]

Tis me, but I didn't get answered, so I asuumed the forum/project was dead.

[DeepSpace9er]

That mod is for Armada II? All i have is the stupid demo

[Drew]

hmmz
now i have a reason to keep that crap POS called armada2


err id think youd have to do some revamping to the Armada code or core files, i dont think cap ships in armada fire at more than one target....

Solid Snake posted some screenshots of this around here many months ago, if any of you remember. It looked very impressive, but I didn't know the project was still alive until now.

[Drew]

i have the freaking game so if you can help me figure out how to port all the modeles over im willing....

[Sesquipedalian]

Download POF Constructor Suite from https://sourceforge.net/projects/alliance, Drew.  It can convert the POF models into COB format (Caligari Object format) for use in Truespace.

If you want to convert from COB to some other format (e.g. 3DS for use in 3ds max), 3d Exploration is a great little program to convert between formats.  Get the models into some industry standard format, and you can probably convert them into an Armada specific format using your tools.

More to the point: http://www.sgnonline.com/vb/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=1 - is this... our Venom?

[Krackers87]

that would be quite impressive. A mod on 2 major sites

[phreak]

alter-Venom's birthday is June 22, 1983.  that puts him just over 20.  i think our Venom is older than that

[Drew]

great i get to the site and just as im about to dload the file its shuts down for mantinece

[Drew]

thnx BTW

erm u think someon could help me out or explain this in a bit more detail?

[Sesquipedalian]

Oh, right, I forgot to mention VPView to you, Drew.  You will need that before PCS will ba aby good to you.  Learn about VPView in Karajorma's FreeSpace FAQ.  Use it to extract the POF files from sparky_fs2.vp.

Then launch PCS and open a POF file in it.  On the Conversion menu, choose POF to COB.  It will save the model in .cob format.

Then launch 3D Exploration, open the .cob and save it in whatever format you wish.

Actually if I want to extract a pof from a .vp file I tend to use Modelview rather than VPView because it allows you to have a look at all the ships rather than having to figure out which filename they are saved under from the ships.tbl. Once you hit the pof-edit button you'll be given the option to save the pof.
