I think one of the older threads stated that Eville_Jedi had released a better model, so PR didn't spend much time on this one.

[TheEmpire]

He did and I have it. I cannot use it for a public release though because I do not have premission to use it.

[Phoenix Rising]

There'll be a newer model eventually. Eviljedi has released a new Bulwark already in Warlords, and PR has demonsrated some interest in incorporating it into his mod, but it's still a big job.

Is anyone familiar with the mod tools for Homeworld 2? If there is some sort of model importer, that would help me out greatly. There's really no comparison.

The weapons are canon? I wasn't aware it officially listed a number of weapons, it doesn't say the weapons in Wookiepedia.

I think he managed to pull them out of Rebellion.

Correct. I can tweak them a bit though; it doesn't really tell me what type of guns they are, only how damaging its turbolasers/ions are and what their range is. And I would agree it's not much of an improvement over the Independence, but I'm reluctant to spend more time on the old model that I'm using.

Well, the problem is that in Rebellion Bulwark were created for one purpose - to give Rebels something capable of taking out SSD. For me it was purely a balance issue and I don't find them that canonical.

True, but these were the watered-down pre-Saxson SSDs: 8 km, 1000 guns. The Bulwarks lack a certain validity because they haven't really shown up in the EU, but that's one of the points of this mod (continuity).

I have Homeworld 2. Maybe I can download the mod and search for the models, but I don't know where to download: the files page of Warlords has just the old models.

EDIT: I have found the last version of Warlords, bu the problem is exporting the models from the ship and hod format, even though I have the program needed to transform hod files, I am completely lost on how to do it because there are tons of files in one hod.

Hmm, well keep at it. If you can get the models to a OBJ or 3DS format, I can get them to ALO; I just don't have HW2 .

[anakinskysolo]

I can get them to .obj, the problem is that in one hod there are 30 .obj.

[TheEmpire]

PR I have a model. It is the new EvilleJedi one. It has a skin and is in ALO. The skin is not the best and it needs to be rerigged but it is the new model. I downloaded it a long time ago and I think Normada made the skin. I can send it to you if you want.

I also like them because they give us 'heavy' alternative to all-prevailing Mon Calamari ships. It's really a pity it didn't get more attention (like a 'home planet/faction', preferred way of fighting etc.)

From where did you get it?

[Phoenix Rising]

I can get them to .obj, the problem is that in one hod there are 30 .obj.

It's possible that each OBJ represents a piece of the original model. Unless you get 30 from every conversion, then I don't know why it would be doing that.

I guess if it really comes down to it, I can ask EvilleJedi, but there are potentially a lot of ships to update, so I figure it would save him a lot of time if I could just work off of his releases.

[anakinskysolo]

Well, TheEmpire has the model.

[TheEmpire]

All the model needs is rigging, and a new skin if you do not like the one normanda made. It looks nice in the ALO viewer. I would post a picture but I do not know how.

[anakinskysolo]

You can open the alo viewer in full screen, then press "Print Screen" on your keyboard, then paste the image in paint, and then upload it as an attachment.

Anyway, where did you get it?

[TheEmpire]

This one model pack I found on Moddb. I never used them because they had horrible rigging. I only downloaded it for the victory 2 battlefront 2 model.
Here is a picture.

Yeah... really good-looking.

[TheEmpire]

As I said the skin could use work. Was that sarcastic?

Needs work?

I thought it was really good.

[TheEmpire]

The color does not seem right.

No, I really like it.
