Mustang Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) What with Simmoders support ? Good job Borchi Simmoders died out when the website died, and when that died so did most of the testing and inputs :( I know that SuperKungFu still helps out 3d modellers behind the scenes, but the rest is long dead.

I'm sorry to hear that! Anyway, thanks for the screenshot Borchi, it doesn't reveal too much but I really like the way lights look! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
golfsierra2 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Simmoders died out when the website died, and when that died so did most of the testing and inputs :( I know that SuperKungFu still helps out 3d modellers behind the scenes, but the rest is long dead. What happened ? Where is Grandsurf ? It's easy to provide a 'home' for them ... see my sig 1 kind regards, Raven.... [sigpic]http://www.crc-mindreader.de/CRT/images/Birds2011.gif[/sigpic]
borchi_2b Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 i do not know have not talked to him for quiet a while. sure a new home for simmod would be great, i just do not know if all the guys would come back. yeniceri is out, thats for sure, but we need a good source for the community modders, so they can talk and work on projects. i am not sure about matt wagner if he would join again the simmoders team. alot has changed over the past few month. well golfsierra, you should maybe ask the community if they want simmod back alive and if the old team would come back to some certain extend. a site cost money and time, so you might want to check on that first. i myself would love to see simmod back alife! was a great ittle community, with lots of knowledge and freindship i think. http://www.polychop-sims.com
SuperKungFu Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Yea I'm always around to lend a helping hand 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mustang Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Yea I'm always around to lend a helping hand Yes indeed, you are a well of knowledge and detail :thumbup:
OldCrow Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 hey guys, i need some informations on the LOD models. can anybody tell me at which distances the certain LOD stages take place? The lod models are saved as separate lom files, so lod1 as F-15_lod1.lom and so on. The distances of when the lod's should appear is given in the f-15.skins file. This means you can decide the distances yourself, aswell as how many lod models you want. You can look at the su-25t.skins file for refrance of how to make this. Hope this helps:thumbup: [sIGPIC]http://www.virtualredarrows.com/member_sigs/vra2012_crow.png[/sIGPIC]
borchi_2b Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 yes indeed it does help alot. i take a loock at it in the next few days. one thing i need to know. when i make lights with a tga file that blends out into black, and i make the alpha channel, i have the problem that the outer area of a light tga file blends into some black glow before it fanishes into 0 opacity. does that have to do with the engine of lomac? i saw that the lights used in lomac, are more set into a white color area. will this provide a clean blur into 0 opacity? http://www.polychop-sims.com
borchi_2b Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 edit to golfsierra: please all, be patient, but it might be possible that we get simmod back to life. the only thing it is dependen on, if i will have good replies from certain people who were allways part of the team. stand by for that. the team is still there in the world, we just need a new host, and some good support from the community. 1 http://www.polychop-sims.com
OldCrow Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 For the lights, I think its best to have them blend into the colour of the light, so a green light would be bright (almost white) in the center, and a green colour at the edges. Then you would get a green transparrent tone instead of the black at the edges of the light. I have never tried to make lights myself though, so maybe there is a different way too. Also, you can look at the BANO.tga texture for refrance. [sIGPIC]http://www.virtualredarrows.com/member_sigs/vra2012_crow.png[/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Simmod! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Phantom_II Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Walmis's model ....... it`s so bad for me , sorry ...... The nose is so big , the nose wheel is big too , the back of the fuselage ( Air break ) isn`t the curve , it`s beeline ! These makes the eagle looks like humpback eagle Especially sparrow bay ! It`s a joke ! So many other thing like these wrong thing So ,the Profile of the Walmis's model isn`t accurately so much But the BoomBoom`s mod isn`t , I wait for it so long time ...... At last , sorry for my baby English , LOL ! Edited August 29, 2009 by Phantom_II [sIGPIC]http://i28.tinypic.com/2jca26f.gif[/sIGPIC]
TOMCATZ Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Hi, think your English should be okay. Yes, borchis model looks great and I hope he can force his efforts to bring it over the finish line. Allthough I think that he used to many polygones for the model but well- It will work and borchis F-15 will look great. Best wishes, TOM Born to fly but forced to work.
Vekkinho Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Any news from Borchi 'bout F-15C?! Estimated release date, number of included skins...let's kick out those default skins that represent ceased fighter wings and introduce new age (modern) ones from the late '90s and 21st century... I'd really like to fly it as the screenshots he posted look promising, I hope it's MEInit would be compatible with 3GO Flanker 1.5! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TOMCATZ Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Well, He works allone. Think he need some support about the wraping and textures. Its pretty hard to motivate yourself a lot every day and day and day. So :cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc:Go, Borchi,Go:cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc: Born to fly but forced to work.
mikoyan Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 BORCHI I ORDER YOU TO MOVE YOUR ASS AND FINISH THE F-15 THIS MONTH IT IS AN ORDER, REPEAT IT IS AN ORDER! je je sorry man! just keep working hard all your affords will be appreciated by the community!
john_X Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 can you put some screens here to show us the shape? i really want to see if you have any shape mistakes because its better to correct them now, before you release the mod. i have to tell you guys that if you decide to make a mod , please do it right. i saw some mods with some serious shape mistakes and i prefere to dont play them ... i dont want to be rude, but those bad mods are: walmis f-15, EF typhoon, that mig29 and the f-22 raptor. i dont think that anyone would compare them with the gripen mod or the mig-21...
Aeroscout Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 @John_X. Umm... I don't want to be rude, but why don't you show us your 3d models you made with highly accurate 3D shape. If you can do this then I will respect what you are saying as a skilled 3d modeler. However, until you present us (The community) with such evidence, I must respond to what you say with some distaste and disgust. As many have put it before me, community modders do this in their free time as a hobby. You may want to consider, Just for a sec, that they don't have to do what they do, and, they make these mods for YOU! The walmis F-15 was the first real model made by a community modder! You could almost say Walmis was a pioneer in this area (Not my words, but I don't remember who said this) and he started a trend of 3d modeling. "That Mig-29" you mention is Tomcatz's. You may recall that he has done countless mods (Including that lockon4ever mod I'm eagerly waiting to be completed in all seasons). I don't know which euro-fighter you mention, but, again, it represents many hours of work. As does the F-22 model. Please phrase your criticism in a more constructive manner. No one is forcing you to use the mods, but that doesn't mean you should just publicly declare hard work crap. Of course, If you can do better, feel free to show us your work. ;) 4 DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices

john_X Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 1) i will soon release a mod and you will see THE DIFFERENCE.until then search for the iar-93/soko j-22 orao and see the clear shape... 2) i can tell you have nothing in common with the aviation if you dont see how many shape mistakes have all those modes. and its not that they dont know the technique of modelling, its because they dont respect the blueprints. a good eye can see how wrong its the f-15 nose modelled. also that EF 2000 has a wrong modelled nose and i told him a while ago to correct it and i didnt see any changes. that mig29 is worse than the original one from the game so the mod is useless...and the f-22 has an unrealistic profile, check the blueprints or any photo.... 3) this is what i said: "have to tell you guys that if you decide to make a mod , PLEASE do it right". i think you missed that word. and my post is constructive.. 4) why dont you show us what can you do in lomac development? cause all i see you can do is talking shit... 1
