Does anyone have the mesh file for teh originaly Beta Kol?
Or does anyone know where I could find it?
I want to use it in my Pirate Mod I am making, It would work perfectly.
sry about my old post guys, i dint see the download link.
I have download the old kol and meza and i have to idea where to put the extracted file, can someone tell me plz. would we be able to download the beta sova carrier aswell.
I checked out the youtube video of the old trailer. The old models were so different. Maybe we'll get lucky and Ironclad will release them in one of their expansion packs. TEC and Vasari, the early years.
That would be cool!!

I have the Beta ships (from links in this thread). I just finished fixing them up for 1.1+ and making them so they are unique models that don't overwrite the existing Kol and Marza.
I'm short on time atm so I'll try to post them on filefront later if people would like them.

OMG, PLZ GIVE ME THE LINK. so i can download them so they dont overide the other.
Non-replacing versions for Sins 1.1+:
BetaKol.zip
and
BetaMarza.zip
Hope they come in handy for everyone.
Thx for the link Dolynick. but where do i put the extracted files?
crap double post. ops
In your mod's mesh (.mesh) and texture (.dds) folders respectively. You then need to have an entity that is set to use them.
How do i make/get an entity to use them? sry about all the question im not very gd at all this stuff.
I suggest you take a look at some of the modding guides around here. I'm afraid I can't give you a lesson in "how to mod" here in this thread. Most everything you need to learn is here on the forums, but it can sometimes take a little searching and browsing.
I will do just that. But here is a few pics of what I am after. They will make great additions to my UNITY and DARK FLEET races for 7 Deadly Sins:

Dan,
The little round fronted ship in the first picture was available as an unused model in Sins 1.05. It was listed in the Mesh directory as a type of "Gunship". There were two gunship meshes, one for Psi and one for Vasari I believe. They were removed in 1.10 but since you are working in 1.05 for 7DS as yet, you should have them in the reference data or your install's mesh folder.
They weren't in the Beta Dan, I'll point you in the right direction though ask Tristangooles especially for Vasari 'early prototypes'. I suspect you might have to make them up yourself though IC may want to re-use certain models further down the line and you can't blame them for that.
Thanks guys.
TFL, Yeah, Ironclad has them, I already asked Blair about them. He said they are holding on to them, for perhaps a new release. My bets are on the third and final mini expansion that will add new ships in, and maybe a new race too. I will ask Tristangooles. Is that a gamer/modder like us, or part of the DEV's? Just curious to see what tree I have to bark up to get an answer.
Dolkick, thanks man. I have found tons of unused model, that one being one of them. I have to recreate the textures if I want it to look like the pic above though.
Also, TFL, do you have any more Beta ships? I noticed in the Beta vids that the TEC had more trader/civilian looking ships, with big cargo holds and such. If you have anything you can spare, or will be willing to give up, please post them here. And yes, they will be heading straight to 7DS. You will of course be credited for providing them, and Ironclad for making them.
Thanks again guys. Hopefully we can get some more of these awesome, yet old ships.
Hey, ya, those models are still with ironclad. They are very very early prototypes which didn't cut it and were redone / scrapped.
Ironclad has spent a lot of time making the models and textures, you can really see the level of quality they persue by looking at those old models.
Sorry I can't be of much help to you. Those models are property of Ironclad, and I don't have them either.
Ah oh well. It was a dream. I wish they surface some day, I thought they were really awesome.
hey guys..does anybody still have any of the beta ships ? especially the Kol ?..please anybody post a link, I would really apreciate it....I only need the mesh, I'll use the textures and entity file from the new Kol
I downloaded 7deadlysins version 2.1 from filefront in order to get the beta kol from that mod...but i have a problem...the beta ships are not compatible with Diplomacy ??..I put the mesh in the mesh folder, the 3 texture files in the textures folder, and I replaced the mesh line from the entity file of the new Kol with the one of the beta kol...and when I enter the game, it stays black for a few seconds, than it crashes...can someone help me pls?
Upload the mesh, entity and textures in a zip and I or the community will help you out. We want the old KOL too. Beta ships would be great for my graveyard. Lets revive these old beasts.
Start with the entity file. Compare the old entity with the new. The null points for weapons and hangars in the mesh probably don't match up with weapons and hangars in the entity. The texture sheets have also moved the Team Colour depending how old it is. Jump down to Guide to Edit SoaSE Textures from Major Stress on http://soase.weebly.com/texturing.html but I doubt the textures would make it crash.
Upload it and we will get it working for ya.
thanx myfist0..I will upload it as soon as somebody tells me how to do that:)
You need to create an account on a file hosting service like FileFactory, MediaFire or MegaUpload. If the zip is under 10mb I think u can email it to me at myfist0 at hotmail dot com. Make 2 zips if needed.
Edit: That address is also my msn messenger. You can send me files with that when I am online. Dont zip them then, we will do 1 at a time, a hole nother anti-virus program has to go in for zips over msn.
hey myfist0..I just sent you an email with the beta kol and beta marza, zip is around 8 megs..If you can make them work for Diplomacy, please let me know.....edit: one more thing, when I transformed the Kol mesh to text, I found an error at the second texure line : "SelfIlluminationTextureFileName "CaptialTCABetaKol-da.dds"....so it said "Captial" , not "Capital"...I said to me this must be why the game crashes...I reloaded the game, but it still crashed..so it must be something else that is causing the crash..hope you guys find out what..
I fixed up the Beta Kol and Marza a while back and posted them in this thread. I've since switched filehosts but if I find some time I can re-upload them again.
