Daedalus Class by Fireball Daedalus Class by Fireball

(6 votes)
FIREBALL_IV, 2008-08-30

The oddest of Starfleet's designs, the Daedalus class features a giant donut-hole of a saucer section attached to a series of cylindrical sections to make it look like a starship. This particular version is the one that will be featured in Dawn of War, and Fireball_IV has spared no detail-- even new plasma and damage emitters!

Download this one right now. It looks good and plays even better.

Cool


Daedalus Class by Michael/Fireball

Background
----------
This is the Daedalus Class that will be included in my Dawn of War mod.
The ship features new models, new textures, new weapons, new sounds and new damage emitters. The ship is armed with 2 forward firing missiles that use the antimatter weapon odf and a brand new missile sod with a brand new "steam" trail that it leaves behind as it flies towards an enemy target. Feature are also new phaser textures with the fire sound from the SFC series of games. Also included is a damage mesh with damage textures for all 5 systems, including a new plasma stream emitter.

Happy playing

in your sprites folder open up emitter.spr
There are three sections to this file.
the
#texture definitions,
# sprite_node definitions
and the actual emitters.

now, for the first part.
under
#texture definitions and also under @refrence=128
add these lines:

gplasma xgrplas 0 0 32 32 @anim=tex4x4_smoke
wsteam xgsmoke 0 0 32 32 @anim=tex4x4_smoke

----------------------
Okay, next under *sprite_node definitions
add these lines:

@sprite_node greenplas gplasma fade3 (2,2) (1,1,1) billboard
@sprite_node whsmoke wsteam fade3 (2,2) (1,1,1) billboard

Dude, great work. You really didn't miss anything. Keep it up, love to see more of your work :thumbsup: Drink
#2 Eluvatar 2008-08-30 13:19
oh man I was hoping for a stargate ship but this is good to
#3 Doom369 2008-08-31 01:17
There are a few details left out in the HEAD section, but otherwise great.

Even though she doesn't quite look like your typical TOS design (nacelles look a little different, as do windows) she sure makes for a fine vessel. Obviously your modelling / texturing skills have come a long way since you started. ;-)
#5 Jetfreak 2008-08-31 08:33
Another fine lookin model from teh Fireball. Thumbs up! :thumbsup:
#6 Avon 2008-09-02 15:25
It's a nice model for sure. I also notice it's already been snapped up by BOTF2 as well. Good job :-)
#7 FIREBALL_IV 2008-09-03 06:48
Thanks everyone! Hope whatever I release next will continue to live up to these high ratings :P

Lol just kidding.

Yes Avon you are correct, BOTF2 snapped this up...well it's more like Armada II snapped this up lol. I actually made a 4000 polygon one for BOTF II before making this model (using the same textures..minus specular and bump).
