Battlestar Galactica

I've been playing around with the game and I've started working on a Battlestar Galactica mod. I haven't really thought too much on the story, but I think it's probably going to be a prequel to the series-- you command a Battlestar participating in the 1000 yahern war against the Cylons. I've managed to get low-poly models of a Battlestar, a Viper, a Cylon Raider, and a Cylon Baseship, and they all look great in the game except that I don't have textures for them (actually, I do, but there is more than one texture per model, and Starfury doesn't seem to like that). Texturing has always been my achillies heel in 3d graphics; can anyone lend me a hand in getting these things properly skinned?
For what it's worth, even seeing an untextured Battlestar flying in the game with a wing of Vipers proceeding it as the Galactica theme plays in the background is pretty freakin' awesome.

Take care,

Drake

Cool. Count me in when it comes time to d/l the mod. Can't have enough Battlestar Galactica.

WOOHOO!!! I finally figured out (sorta) how to texture stuff. The Galactica mesh looks pretty darn good, if you ask me; check it out:

Now to get those pesky Vipers working...

That picture looks awesome. Can't wait to see the final product.

Your ship looks great

Thanks! Here's a closeup of a Viper returning to the ship

I think I've managed to get all of the essential models in and more or less correctly textured (I think I'll take another pass at the Galactica, because that was the first one I did, and I'm not entirely satisfied with it yet). I've also got the first mission of the mod working, the intro text, and so forth. Once I have about 10-15 missions put together (not to mention coding out the 12 Colonies, Cylon territory, and so forth... yeesh) I'll try to release the mod to you folks.

WHOA!!!

Now that's good.

You wouldn't be interested in doing some Star Trek ships, would you?

Carry on with the good work
