Get lith unwrap 1.3 (it's the free version). Then you'll want to pay particular attention to the UV option in the tools menu.

When you save the uv map in lithunwrap you also are supposed to save the model as well.

Then in Anim8or...Options/Materials.

Then find Diffuse and click on the box.

Load your texture.

Then apply the texture to the model.

Put black for the parts you want transparent, texture a plain with your button image, and use set object objNum,1,0,1. (BTW, questions like this should be asked in the DB board, not the WIP board. )

Nice looking space ship, but you could improve the performance of your game by removing obsolete polygons from the model. The guns appear to be cylinders with 8 divisions. If they are straight cylinders, they only need to be 1 poly long, understand? Cutting these polygons will speed up your game because it won't have to draw them, and your space ship will look exactly the same.

Good luck on your game, can't wait to see the new updates.

I don't mind if you use the menu code I gave you as long as you use your own images for the menu. Good luck, I'm looking forward to seeing some updates.

I have been trying to make a texture map for the Zatwu MKII and the best one I think is this.

Please give opinions.

Problems with getting the ship to act right, like when you press right the ship rolls right a little and turns right and then rolls back and stops turning after you let go. Please help.

I'm have more problems. Its AI collision. Basicly there is a ivisable sphere that is placed the positon of the player. When an enemy collides with the sphere he pionts toward the player and moves. The problem is I don't know how to detect collision. Please help. And don't just suggest nuclear glory because I already tried it.

Because uesing nuclear glory would not only mean me doing the whole sengine over again, but I don't completely understand it and would rather not a dll.

Actually, using NG is a lot easier than you think, and you probably won't have to redo too much. Just take a look at the Kalepian Invasion source code.

Detecting collision, what about the object collision command. Say your enemy is object 1 and the sphere around the player is object 2, couldn't you try....


I'm sure this isn't the best way to do it and you've probably already thoguht of1 00 reasons why it won't work but it's better than nothing.

The team licence can only be used on projects that the team/licence holder(the person that payed) work on. You couldn't release a game using NGC which you'd made on your own with the team version.

I'll probobly put this project on hold until Kalepia Productions finishes its current project. Then I will suggest that we finish it as our next project. That is all until then.
