[Searching] Space Station & Space Ship MD2 models

[Tormentor667]

Does anyone have access to MD2s like that? I am mostly looking for large space stations and smaller space ships that I can implement in some atmospheric skyboxes.

I have a few from a variety of sources. Some are a bit scrappy looking though (very low poly, ugly skins).

Nice, you've got quite a fleet there

What's the red and grey one in the middle?

What's the red and grey one in the middle?

Not really sure. I don't even remember where I found it. I know I modified it a bit. I use it as a little escape shuttle craft in my own modified version of one of ReX's "Darkest Hour" maps:

Awesome, I already found what I might need: Any chance of getting the the large spike like space station in the background and the UT space fighters on the right shared?

i want them all !

Lol, dog fight in space multiplayer mod Icytux? nudge nudge

Also I have some ships from Quake 2 and expansions

Can someone provide a template wad so I can work out how to import 3D models into Doom easily?

Oh, I've got the first two in that screenshot, but not the last one. Does that come from the mission pack?

To get the models into a GZdoom mod, you need to write a modeldef for them.

http://zdoom.org/wiki/MODELDEF

Either one of the first two definitions will do as a basic template. Use the first one if you know the frame name used insode the MD2 model. Use the second one if you don't know the name or its a format that doesn't have a name (md3)

A typical example of the first one would be something like this:

Code: Select all

ACTOR MyCoolActor
{
	Radius 20
	Height 56
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		POSS A 3
		Loop
	}
}

Code: Select all

Model MyCoolActor
{
   Path "Models"
   Model 0 "cool.md2"
   Skin 0 "cool.png"
   Scale 1.0 1.0 1.0

   Frame POSS A 0 "frame01"
}

or, alternatively

Code: Select all

Model MyCoolActor
{ 
   Path "Models" 
   Model 0 "cool.md3" 
   Skin 0 "cool.png"
   Scale 1.0 1.0 1.0
   
   FrameIndex POSS A 0 0
}

You can't put models in a WAD. They need to be in a zip/pk3 and typically you would put them in a subdir called "models" (as specified in the path statement in the examples).
