3DG File Hack Nearing Completion!
2001 Apr 07 – 3DG File Hack Nearing Completion!:
The boys have been very busy. I have received many e-mails requesting info regarding the 3dg hack and other progress at TSH. It appears we have reached the end game with the 3DG problem as evidenced by these preliminary shots of an A-10 Warthog 3d model imported successfully into F/A-18. Realise that this is just a “placeholder” If you will, to experiment with addition of new objects into the game. We have several talented guys working on detailed models of the A-10 and a cockpit for it along with the F-15E and F-14.
I would think that shortly we will be fine tuning the 3D A-10 and working on textures to skin it.
Progress is being made in the terrain department also with limited success importing the desert from F-15 into F/A-18. Still some work to be done there yet.
Other objects such as ships, missiles, and aircraft will be looked at and we will see what can be done initially without biting off too much. I think once we work out some of the terrain files and some technical details concerning addition of objects then we can think about what can be released in a first package. We want it to be easy and of high quality…so be patient. There is still a good amount of work to do, especially concerning the interface in game and how that will be handled. Keep the suggestions and ideas coming! – Hornit
