Hi I have an Idea

[Starhawk]

Hmm never found that tool...where is it and what is it called?

[David E. Gervais]

I noticed that the company that made HW2 have released a free set of tools for modding WH2. Just go to their site, register and download them. I'm not sure if the tools for extracting the models is there, but there might be some 'viewers' for the various models in-game. Perhaps some cleaner views could be made.

just a thought.

I'll install the demo and see the game for myself, it looks like it might be fun.

Cheers!

Aye it's fun alright and it has spectacular effects.

But the viewer only works for modding the ship you can't take a good screenshot with it because you'll get the whole window in the shot and when you try to edit it you get a highly pixelated image of the ship that isn't really worth keeping.

There is not an extractor that i can find so that part sucks rather poorly.

AAAaaaaaaaaah! I just spent a good two hours grabbing about ten more ships and weapon platforms from the HW demo and had just about finished, I went to save them and my computer crashed. Aaaaaaah! Darn HW demo, must have a memory leak. Or doesn't like having it's task switched.

Dang! and the Last batch was looking really good.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

ah, I feel much better now, but I'll take a break.

Cheers!

That sounds harsh...I hate it when that happens.

Sadly the demo doesn't have all of the ships so you'll need to find some way to make due with the screenshots I took.

This should teach you to hit the save button more often.

My solution was to get a good 'Free' screen capture program..

GrabClipSave

works well, I grabbed all the ships in the demo, and will work on them in my spare time.

I'll have to make due with your grabs of the larger ships, but I just find that no two are at the same angle, and it makes for a bit of an eclectic look. (lacking of consistancy) The mini's seem ok, as they are all seen from over head, but te portraits are something else.

Oh well, I can only fix what I have access to, such is life.

Cheers!

Hitting the 'Save' button is what crashed my computer. (how do you fix that?) lol

but I have already grabbed all the ships in the demo, so the point is mute now.

Cheers!
