[MOD] Gauntlet's Race Mod (UPDATED R-1.7 for Retribution 4.21!)

Looks good will have to remember to give it a go :D 

if i recall you also did some good stuff for GalCiv 2 

Absolutely fantastic Can't wait

Ive watched your videos and its great work.  Im honestly stunned with how much you have been able to do, i will definitely be downloading when you upload to the workshop.

I've gotta get me some of those!

I have to know how you got the fighters flying around the larger ships as one model - is that easily do-able in the designer or is it a mod?

Hey guys! Thanks for watching, and now hopefully listening!  :)

Quite right! I made a mod that simply added tons of race portraits and again, ship designs. Never did update it for Arnor though. I've even decided to keep the same mod name lol.

It is actually pretty easy in the designer... well somewhat. First, make your fighter, second avoid using the "I won't scale!" parts (a few parts are actually already grouped components and won't scale as part of grouped component), three, group the ship as a component. Now you can copy/paste it into any and all designs. Just a matter of movement animations then.

Thank You! 

Good to see this back I was honestly slowly converting your mod for Dark Avatar into GalCiv 3... Anyways I know this is going to be a lot of work since you put a lot of quality in your last mod for GalCiv2. I know your working on 9 races right now, but are you going to be making 25 races as you did for Dark Avatar? I was really a fan of your Galactic Confederacy and its shipstyles. So I was wondering if any of the old races from your mod pack for Dark Avatar will be making a return too. I see the Pirates are. 

You have talent dude. I love the Fulgar ships, very unique and not too syfy.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. New races with unique ships. Can't wait.

STARDOCK SHOULD HIRE THIS GUY 

Sweet! Nice work Gauntlet03.

How do you get the fighters to attach to the bigger vessels. Can they fly off / re - dock? Did you load them in first then built the capital off of it?

Those are pretty nic....hhhnnnnnnngggggg

Hey there! Thanks for remembering the good ol days! To be honest, its been ages since I've even seen my old designs... after this nine, not a bad idea to check them out for some inspiration lol. As for the plan... I'm just starting with 9 major races. Then I hope to add minor races, and even more portraits, and possibly circle back to the original 9 and add starbases and drones (right now I'm just using my tiny hulls as the drone model as stand ins).

With that done, I'll probably work on batches of 3 major races at a time, until I die.

I make the fighter, then make it into one grouped component, and then add that to a in-progress capital ship. Flying off and docking isn't really possible, you could try to get something that would fly off and up, but it would then reverse right back down to land... which would be too awkward looking to be worth it. There is also no way to pause a animation, so I can't add a 5 second pause between animation cycles.

Thanks all. Your continuing praise feeds me... delicious, delicious praise. I'm wrapping up another set at this moment, and with luck will post tomorrow!

I've said this before but hot damn, you do good work. This is totally pro, thanks!

Looks good, I'm looking forward to using and enhancing my game with your work, thanks!

Hey there!

UPDATE! 2nd Ship Set video now available!

Furthermore, I now have a 3-part tutorial on ship designing that you may find useful!

Nice tutorials they made me realise i was using the entire start block instead of just the ship..which is probably why my designs always looked odd/faulty.

Very helpful indeed - what a gent! 

One question if I may, related to the Jun Jilar leader potrait - 

I see the image you have used has been cropped around the aliens head so you can use a different background - how are you doing that?  With Photoshop or similar?

Any help or advice you can give would be much appreciated - and may even earn you a shiny new Karma point!  Not that I'm attempting to bribe you of course 

Amazing work here Gauntlet03. I look forward to adding these to my universe.

@LeonctioGB PM sent.

For my first fan request... ... well... Request Granted!!

Impressive. Can't wait to try them out.

Your work is defiantly amazing. I enjoy watching your videos, noting how much work and thought you put into your designs.

I want this so bad.

Ladies and gentlemen,

GREAT WORK AS USUAL

Dumb question,  do your ship mods have blueprints?  i.e.  will they auto upgrade M1,M2....

They do! The AI will use the ship designs and they will upgrade. I'm using all the default blue prints/ship list though, so don't expect optimized ship designs in terms of components.
