Hey there all!

Recently, I was playing the old Star Trek: Shattered Universe game for the PS2 for a bit of nostalgia. The game is terrible at times, but there were some interesting designs and moments that I liked from it.

So, after JetFreak pointed me in the direction of some SFCIII models, I decided to take it upon myself to convert what available models there were into Armada II. The community has been slow, so I thought it nice to breathe in some fresh life.

The attachment below shows my first conversion since my DJ Curtis Galaxy, the Wraith-Class Terran Empire fighter. If all goes according to plan, she and the other ships that I'll be converting should be released here, and have some texture mods to them.

Ah Shattered Universe. I remember that fondly - well, until I got stuck I'm ashamed to say :oops:
How do you convert the models out of interest? I know milkshape won't read non-stock sods, isn't there something in place to stop similar things happening on SFC3?

Apparently not. Same thing with the Bridge Commander importer. If it were the case, I'd be one VERY unhappy fellow.

Anyway, I've since fully converted the Wraith fighter, hardpointed and everything. Attached pic shows a few of her in a shot with the I.S.S. Excelsior doing battle. The shot itself is a WIP, but should be done and uploaded soon.

I played the game on the original XBox and it was an awesome, especially for it's time. Did you know that the game was part of my inspiration for Yesteryears?

No the restrictions are with SODS only, I've never had an issue with converting from MOD files and the only time with NIF is usually due to the model being too high in poly's for MS3D to handle.

Huh. Interesting to know Maj!

As I said in the last post, the Wraith-Class fighter has been fully converted. Now I've moved onto the Orion ships. First up is the Orion Frigate.

Huh, I know that design. Achilles ported it to A2 as part of AOW4.1.7b. I happen to have that beta, though I can't remember whether this was the game it was ported from.

thats not the orion frigate thats the orion dreadnought and all those are from SFC2 EAW not from SFC3. the shattered universe models are mostly the same with some more detail added here and there. manny of the SFC2 models are from Klingon and Starfleet Academy games as those have been made by Interplay.

No MS3D can read non-stock SFC3 and BC models. The latter has some trouble depending on how many poly's the model is. I've never had an issue with the former.

Sorry mate, do you have all models from Shattered Universe? I'd like to convert them and try in my A1 game, if that's ok...
