Half Life 2 Carrier Gets Its First Squadron (March 3, 2006)

[ChrisReid]

AD has successfully begun importing fighters to his Light Carrier flight deck level for Half Life 2. He's still playing with the sizes and minor graphical effects, but the results so far look fantastic. The final shot below features explosion damage from a tossed grenade. Check out the starboard fin. Ducking behind these ships sure looks like fun!

​

I finally figured out the process for getting ships into HL2. So far it works best with 3DStudio Max. Thanks to some help from Bob and a Rapier from Marc, I can show you I'm not lying.
It's hard to see in screenshots, but the glossy paint effect is neat. You can see world geometry reflected on the ship.

Awsome very nice. ( I can make out a small part of the gag bumper-stiker that I made for the Rapier on the last pic)

 

[Confed]

Very impressive!
P.S. : Will someone be making kilrathi players/bots? That would be perfect!

Any more updates on this?

I may have a kitty for you later on

I have XSI 5.0 and XSI mod tool... I might try and replace the usually police with cats in the game first, to see if I can do it, but I'm really a new comer to modding for HL.

Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers to?

 

[ChrisReid]

AD had to stop/start over, and work hasn't continued.

I haven't done much with it in quite a while. I kind of intended to get back to it but you know how these things go... I'd love to give it another crack but I'd have to shove a bunch of other stuff off my table first.
