*************I would advise against using Truespace 7 to work with the objects.....use Gamespace Light*********************
Since there are a lot of similarities between them, the manuals for TS7 will still help you learn Gamespace, but when I spent more time with them, TS7
would do some strange things to the objects. So I would recommend using Gamespace to move them around,

Well, a few things to begin with. Caligari released their final version of Truespace, ver 7.6, when they were shutdown by Microsoft. They released it free, with manuals and tutorials. It can still be found and downloaded from the internet. It has a feature that makes it backward compatible with Truespace 6.5 stuff, which is what David used for MaxFB. So far, I have been able to build a couple models in Blender, load them in Truespace 7, and then save them as directX files and have them show up on the field in game. Yay!!
Next step, will be to texture them and make sure that they show up in game, properly textured. I will start tinkering with that tonite. If all goes well, I will start building objects.

The benefit of the above, using TS7 instead of Gamespace Light, is that TS7 is a fully featured 3D program with no restrictions on the size of the model. And I also have all the manuals and stuff, whereas I seem to have not kept the stuff I had for Gamespace.

Below is a pic of the 2 models I imported via TS7. Just quickies, so ignore the quality, and size issue.

Just DL Truespace 7.6 and everything that goes with it. Thanks Gary.

kewl

it's downloadable from the caligari website still! great find!

I'd wager the Kentucky Hazard's field is one of the toughest to play in - I've heard of catching a ball in traffic, but this is ridiculous!

Yea, Fred parks his car wherever he wants :-)

I have never been a huge fan of Truespace/Gamespace, but thats what David used.
Aside from the Actual program itself, there is also a PDF of the manual and some videos.
Plus it appears they have allowed access to all of their videos and stuff here:

Its probably worth it to download all this stuff and just keep it. If you ever get the urge to learn, here is a great starter setup.
It really doesnt matter all that much which program you learn on, once you learn it, you just have to get used to whatever app you decide to settle on.

Well, heres an all purpose Box Truck. As I have probably noted before, im not a texture guy, so feel free to go crazy with these and make them look good.
I will continue to try and get better textures, but I will release the objects regardless, so you guys can have at it.
The zip is small, just 56K. I havent even thought of where to host these, I dont have a website anymore, so if Mykal could 'hook a brother up' I would
appreciate it
The players are down at the other end, thats why they look small. I think the truck is fairly close to a proper scale.

This is probably off center since you said you wouldn't do people as this point, but having a fan running across the field or a streaker (female preferably). Man I can't believe I went there.

Back to normal state: did you add the movable boom cart with camera to any fields yet? That's the one I'm waiting to see.

Well, im all for female streakers, but since my son is sitting behind me playing toontown, it's a no-go.

No, havent done anything else yet. This is my first.
But remember, im not going back and adding these to any stadiums. These are standalone objects that the user would have to add himself.
So it will require an investment of time by anyone interested, to learn to move them around using GamespaceLight.

You really should stop putting ya'self down Man
nothing wrong with that texturing at all
looks like any other box truck I see rolling down the road

Gotcha. Good deal.

Groovy truck, Gary!

Pirates V Hillbillys
Just started this one, might be the last for this weekend.

Nice Work Gary

Thanks. Texturing the ship is a bear.....guess I will have to try to learn UV texturing in GS or just make it a solid.
