Gun Platform Comparison

[Ace Antilles]

Well I'm actually sort of on time for once! <BR>Here's some comparison shots of the just released Gun Platform opt by <B>Marcos Edson</B>.<P><B>Old TG Opt</B><BR> <P><B>New XWAU Opt!</B><BR> <BR>A very small but actually pretty important opt gets the great XWAU treatment!<BR>There's so much extra detail on the hull plating which makes a difference.<P><B>Flightgroup View</B><BR> <BR>Marcos actually put a FG texture on it too for a bit of variety.<P>You may find it familiar as it's based on the turrets seen in the Death Star attack.<BR>The cannons themselves are rounded and it actually looks like it will fire up as well.<BR>The hull now looks like it can take the pounding it does.<P>Another great opt. Well done to <B>Marcos</B> who has made this in quite a short time and did some great texture work. <P>Go to the screenshots page for more and better pictures.<BR>More comparisons soon. <P>------------------<BR><I>Going in Full Throttle!</I><BR><A HREF="http://www.antilles100.freeserve.co.uk" TARGET=_blank>The X-wing Outpost</A><BR>Home of The Batlle of Yavin and Endor projects.

Sometimes it's just ridiculous how bad the TG OPT's were <P>------------------<BR>"Do you pirate software?"<BR>"What's that have to do with anything"<BR>"Everything!

Cant wait to see the ISD, R-41, T-wing, and Toscan HEHE!<P>------------------<BR>Whoa whoa whoa wait a second!!! pie?! Drunk!? the?! u got yourself a cherif!<P><BR>Lois i fixed that sink<BR>no u didnt<BR>FINE! i will bet u all my starwars guys that it is except boba fett, no matter how sure i am i never risk the fett man!

[GreenLeader0]

Is there a comparison? No! I love how the XWAU makes TG look bad. I had a few laughs at this one.<P>------------------<BR>The darkness is coming...

[Marcos_Edson]

Thanks, Ace, that was fast! An thanks to the others, too! Just in case someone skipped the release notes (shame on you...) Flavid helped with the textures, without his participation it wouldn't look so good due to an annoying blurring effect. <P>------------------<BR><A HREF="http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/" TARGET=_blank>SETI</A><BR>"There can be only one..."

[Ham Yoyo]

Awesome! The XWAU is great. Keep up the good work.<P>------------------<BR>My Dream, to fly a starfighter and destroy Imperial ships

[Phoenix]

Anybody can do better than TG, really. The X-Wing model was the same in X-Wing, Tie Fighter and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. (Although XvT added textures) They re-did it for BoP and then used the same model for the XWA base model.<P>------------------<BR>Star Trekkin' across the universe, <BR>Only goin' forward because we can't find reverse!!

[Tigris]

Well I still think the XWAU's did a great job so far! One question though: Will you redo the Death Star? *ducks&runs4cover*

You have to use a mission editor such as AlliED.<P>------------------<BR>"Life? You have a life? Wow! Can I have one?"<P>Visit my site, the <I><A HREF="http://ssd_shadowkeeper.tripod.com/" TARGET=_blank>SSD Shadowkeeper</A></I>!<BR>AIM me @ <B>MIDI Master Jade</B>!

I played a conversion mission last night just to see how things look with the Gun Platforms, Capture INT Compellor (also, the new interdictor is in this one too!) the upgrade face-lift on the opt's are really starting to show now!! <P>Sincerely, rogue518<P>

[General Edor Crespin]

Hawk9X, there's a X-Wing comparison, starting with TIE Fighter and going through the XWAU, in Ace Antilles' forum. View topics from last 100 days or so and you'll see it.<P>------------------<BR>"Life? You have a life? Wow!

simply...amazing!<P>------------------<BR>Fear is my ally!

[docken]

Damn, it is small, but it is sweet!!!!!<P>If the rest of the Cap ships are as consistent as the other xwaupgrade stuff has been (case in point right here), I will be playing XWA for a long time to come!

[Major Wes Janson]

rogue518, where did you get the converted mission? Could you maybe send it to me?<BR>About the Gun Platform, "Still, if you have to die in a box in space, this looks as good as any in which to do it" -Booster Terrik, Bacta War

[Ice Knight]

hey...docken...let's watch the language. there's children around. j/k <P>------------------<BR>Fear is my ally!

[Ace Knight 1]

Sh*t thats good! I love the flight group colors Now with that and the family base IRD and rebel fighters the mission where you recapture your home will be really fun! Then you add the preybird adn cloakshape in the mix when there done and that will be a very nice looking mission!

[ACEJim]

Thats a brilliant Opt... but don't rubbish TGs work - they had 300Mhz machines in mind when they built XWA not the 1800Mhz monsters we have now.

[Major Wes Janson]

I have a 333Mhz and the XWAU works just fine for me. If this is how good the gun platform looks, I want to see the Golan Stations!

[General Edor Crespin]

Major Janson, you can convert XW, TF, XvT, and BoP missions to XWA with AlliED. <A HREF="http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/troyd/" TARGET=_blank>http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/troyd/</A> $10 for registration but unregistered might be able to do it.<P>------------------<BR>"Life?

[Major Wes Janson]

Thanks, I have AlliED, but i didn't know it could convert the old missions to new ones. I'll try it later.

[rogue518]

Sorry Major Wes Jason, didn't realized you asked me a question, with the registered version I know you can convert XW,T/F, XvT/Bop to use the XWA engine.<P>But one thing I can't do is send converted missions from other games (XW,T/F etc..) to people, not being rude or anything like that, more of a rule, an XWA community rule, sort-of-speak.. sorry.<P>Sincerely, rogue518
