[Dark Hope]

Good afternoon. It would be great if the V_FreightL02 model could be replaced with a higher quality one.

Doesn't this model share the same texture that this model (see attached) also uses? If that's the case, would you be redoing both skins?

I know I'm a little late, but how about this?

A few notes on the edits:

• The Manaan freighter is slightly larger than the original ones on Taris.  I chose to keep the Manaan sizing instead of trying to scale them down.
• I relied on the in-game lighting instead of creating new lightmaps, which is why the new freighters look somewhat darker than the originals.
• While I was at it, I also patched a major hole in the bottom of the upper freighter's platform.

Nice, I believe this model is also used in TSL in several different areas.

Несколько замечаний по поводу правок:

• Грузовой корабль «Манаан» немного больше, чем оригинальные корабли на Тарисе. Я решил сохранить размеры «Манаана», вместо того чтобы пытаться уменьшить их.
• Я использовал внутриигровое освещение вместо создания новых карт освещения, поэтому новые грузовые корабли выглядят несколько темнее оригинальных.
• Заодно я заделал большую дыру в нижней части верхней платформы грузового судна.

I can't believe my eyes. This is so cool. You should publish it.

Shouldn't be a huge deal to add new lightmaps via KBlender. How many of them are there?

Thank you!  I may just do that after I explore the lighting/lightmapping a bit more.

It’s only two freighters, so I suppose it wouldn't be too much work.  Creating the lightmap UVs tends to be the slow part for me, but I would only need to do that once for both freighters.  There is also the drawback that the baked lighting will remain static when the freighters are moving around…but on the other hand, that never bothered me with the vanilla version.

On a quick examination, I see it at the Nar Shaddaa docks (which already uses the higher-quality version) and flying over the Onderon spaceport.  I don’t suppose anyone happens to know of any others offhand?
