May we use Spiff?

Shane may we use your Spiff in the SW Mod?

With 2 "welding" beams (comms laser diriviate) it was possible to get him in the MP game. No problems at all with him now. [^]

I was thinking of a mission, where you have to use EVA to go outside and clear away some debris to get through a tunnel or an entrance to a hollow asteroid. He will probably get attacked by a couple of bad guys in EVAs too. [}]

Could you possibly re-texture one version of him to make a storm-trooper looking type? (or at least color/mark one differently so you can distinguish between Rebs and Imps?)

Certainly. I'll build an evil, Imperial version and send it to you.

Thats cool. Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. [8D]

btw, there is something "wrong" with the original Spiff collision hull: You can accelerate straight ahead but you can't change pitch or yaw. It reacts sorta like if you were docked to something (except for being able move in the Z direction).

That may explain why you had trouble getting it into the SP game at first.

All those issues were finally solved some time ago... I must have neglected to send you an updated model.

In any case, given the 1960's appearance of the Spiff model, I'd construct a new one.

SecondChance: Do you know off-hand any reference pics for space suits in the Star Wars universe?

Only the ones for the Tie Fighter pilots (Tie Fighters don't have a sealed environment). I could send you some of those. Would that help? Other than that, I don't think I've ever seen a spacesuit of any kind in SW. I guess because for them spaceflight is just like driving, you just jump in and go; no prep.

I've got Spiff in the game. You exit your ship via a key press and find yourself 150 meters in front of it in the EVA suit. to get back in your ship you dock with it. Now we just need a realistic mission for him to do.

Moving debris isn't really too realistic as you would normaly blast that out of your way with you ships weapons. How about attaching a bomb/ homing device/ listening device to an antenna?

Btw, Spiff has a little "Laser sword" (call it a welder?). So he can do battle with other players in EVA Suits too. The issue is; it will probably have to have a length of 30 meters or so if you want to be able hit someone with it at all in MP (due to latency). We'll have to test it online
