Can I please use your drayman model along with it's textures in my mod, Wing Commander 1 Remake?

Cyberion's Low Detail Drayman model does not have a texture

The drayman in Privateer: Gemini Gold does not look like a WC1 Drayman

I don't know where else I can find a WC1 Drayman 3D Model, and for free. So can I please use it?

I will mention your team in my credits page for the drayman model

It would be so much appreciated if you could let me use it.
 
There hasn't been an "XWA TC Team" for a long time. Nob Akimoto might be around, but most people who were involved in that project (like dreddnott or steele) haven't visited Crius.net in at least several years.
 
I think "Dreddnott" has came back to Crius.net. Plus, under fan projects, the X-Wing Alliance TC has a public beta released.
 
I guess I have been trying stuff out in WC:SO and trying to find a new 3D model for the WC1 Drayman that is already in WC1 Remake. I have already tried out the drayman model in WC1 Remake as an OBJ, but there is a HUGE lag once I face the transport or target it.

Do you think the lag has something to do with the materials? It has 16 materials.

That doesn't have anything to do with the team existing today though. The public beta test was released in 2000 and hasn't been touched since 2001. Dreddnott hasn't visited Crius.net in three years. If you want to reach anyone on the team, you should try emailing them.
 
I found just the perfect thing! I found one off of the WCU Ship Pack and it is a WC1 Drayman with only 3 materials!! It's all modified up so it's ready for WC1 Remake in OBJ Format. Now includes thrusters!

BTW, I have released a new version of the WC1 Remake Gold Edition. Since Eddie asked for all the files to be released in one package, I did that

I tried debugging missions and learned a HUGE lesson in Mission Programming. Shown under NOTE in my WC1 Remake readme file that is best viewed with word wrap on.
 
So can I use the ships anyway? Even though the XWA TC Team has left? Without Retexturing the models so that they look like crap compared to the XWA TC Team's work?

I'm worried that I will need to retexture the ships. I'm not good at doing stuff like that.

BTW, Try the WC1 Remake Gold Edition. I think the problem has been fixed.

Did you even try to email them? Wasn't there already a situation involving your project using ships from other projects in this manner?

Yes, but that was Standoff and they had art direction, so I had to rexture certain models because WCUE did not have all the models I had wanted in my project. I do not know what their e-mail address is, but I will check and e-mail them if I can.

That's doesn't matter in so far as what you're trying to do. Your post signature is beyond the limit by the way.

We've mentioned most of the key members of the team. Look up their Crius.net profiles and click the email link within.
 
Hey, ChrisReid, I have tried to e-mail dreddnott via the CIC's E-mail option. I have been waiting patiently and I have looked in my e-mail and there is no reply. I have not sent him a PM, but I doubt that he will respond to that, since it has been so long ago that he has ever done anything in the CIC forums, when he is logged in, that is.

I don't know what else to do...
 
OK. I have now tried to e-mail the two others that you mentioned, Nob akimoto and Steele. It appears Steele has not done anything here since 2000. I e-mailed them both about my situation with Wing Commander 1 Remake and using the ships without retexturing. If I have to retexture the ships, I hope it is not too much of a job for the fellows who have helped out with my project by offering to help me. For example, Joff Leader has helped by offering to help me with retexturing the ships of my fan project. I hope re-doing 40 textures will not be too hard for him, but I am a little worried for him, since it will be extremely hard work, and too time consuming.
 
For what it's worth you have my permission if you want to do it.

But baking the textures from OPTs is sometimes a bit of a pain.
 
Updated WC1 Remake. Now has the imported good-looking meshes from XWA WCTC. It's such an honor that I got to even use them. Thanks so much.
 
Too true.

But there is usually if not always a cut-off point between performance and quality that you yourself have to set.
