Looks good. But the area between the impuls engines and the shuttlebay looks a bit naked. Some plating would be nice.

I agree, or maybe a pin stripe down the spine with another Federation symbol in the center, like the one on the saucer.

Other than that, looks awesome to me.

Thanks, guys! I kinda took a bit of both your suggestions and put them in. Check out the new render below.

Now it's going into NIFSkope and then on to the MPE settings! Hooray!

Yes thats better. Much better.

This is really nice, cookie

Locke · « **Reply #204 on:** September 14, 2010, 05:31:16 PM »

Okay, speedbump. :roll

When I open NifSkope I get the first image. When I open the SAME FILE in MPE I get the second image. The little bits in the distance on the MPE shot are the other parts of the ship. What gives?

your nif structure is messed up that's why it appears like that in mpe

Anyone ever spend an hour-and-a-half working with MPE only to hit a button and crash the thing (for the 3rd or 4th time!) and want to throw a coffee cup through your screen?

Or is it just me?

This is by far the most frustrating part of creating a ship . . . :mad:

The MPE has it's own personality so to speak, you gotta go careful with it. When I started using it, the first few hours was finding ways of crashing it so I don't do it when I really need stuff saved

Locke · « **Reply #208 on:** September 16, 2010, 01:21:03 AM »

Well, now fun bizarre stuff is happening . . . I saved when I left the house earlier, and now when I open up the same file again, there's nothing there! I had a dozen or more items added to the ship, and now they don't show up in MPE at all. But opening up the actual script with Notepad++, I can see that they are all still actually in the script. Why would they not be showing up in MPE? More and more frustration . . .

you have a property out there named with a digit only (1,2,3,4,etc.) I've already been through this ;) but knowing MPE it might be several other things causing same problem

Locke · « **Reply #210 on:** September 16, 2010, 05:12:27 AM »

Well, I'm getting fed up with this. If I can't figure it out by tomorrow night, I'm just gonna put it away. Alternatively, if I give up, someone else could take it over. Any takers?

Locke · « **Reply #211 on:** September 17, 2010, 02:02:35 AM »

Ummm . . . does MPE have an issue with someone trying to include two warp cores in the file? That might be why I'm having trouble . . .

Bones · « **Reply #212 on:** September 17, 2010, 02:41:08 AM »

could be tho I'm not sure... you can always try ;)

Locke · « **Reply #213 on:** September 17, 2010, 02:44:38 AM »

Screw it. That didn't help me a bit. There's another hour absolutely wasted out of my life. I surrender. No more. Files are going on the shelf.

hobbs · « **Reply #214 on:** September 19, 2010, 07:15:35 AM »

i'll have a look at it if you want to send me your files... not saying i can sortit but i can try and help if you want

send it to my yahoo email and i'll give it a go

Locke · « **Reply #215 on:** October 27, 2010, 03:49:32 AM »

Well . . .

It's been over a month, and I haven't been able to contact [the person I gave the mesh to]. He's not responding, so I'm looking for someone else to help me out with this.

I had a massive HD meltdown recently and lost the ability to actually play BC, so I can't test any MPE changes I make. This is unfortunate, since I really wanted to get this ship into the game. I have several things I wanted to accomplish with this mesh in regards to the hardpointing. Some of it is fairly unique to Fed ships, so if anyone is looking for a short MPE job, please let me know by PM.

Starforce2 · « **Reply #216 on:** November 20, 2010, 10:46:26 PM »

well, I may consider it but I don't know when I'd get to it so at this point, it's a no. But I do like the ship.

Locke · « **Reply #217 on:** January 18, 2012, 09:44:04 PM »

Thread resurrection!

I recently got my computer back up and running, and I'm now attempting to get some of the projects going again. Specifically, this one. But I'm trying to do the MPE stuff again, and it's defeating me. Again. :roll

So I need help. Again. Anyone willing to take a look at the file?

cordanilus · « **Reply #218 on:** January 18, 2012, 10:21:21 PM »

I could check out the nif structure of the file and give you a report, if you want. If the problem is simple, I could just fix it and send it back to you. What say you?

moed · « **Reply #219 on:** January 19, 2012, 02:03:27 PM »

Forgot about this one.

Great work!

IMO though, the bussard ram scoops need to be a bit more pointed. I think it would match the streamlined lines of the ship better.
