well its to do with lightmaps.

Syf woul;d probably be the best person to ask (no offense majestic, its just i know for sure he knows how to use them as he didnt the one for the aurora)

but basically, can i apply the "light mapped" texture as a regular texture, or do i have to do something weird, liek apply the regular texture then that one over the top? (im new... lol)

The lightmap is just an extra channel in the TGA file, you can apply the texture as you would with anything else and it should work fine.

None taken, I know how to add them to models and what not just can't apply them to textures.

Simply put they are the one texture applied to the model texture than a tag in the materials list is added to the model and wholla model lightmapped.

I like this ship's overall design --you clearly used the texture you had to work with to its MAXIMUM effect! Although I think it'd be better with no registry, but that's just me....

A nice design, but maybe you could tweak 'em a bit? The underside of the saucer, for instance, has the same texture in front of the deflector dish as the underside of the deflector dish...?

Bottom line: It's better'n I can do. And I like the design. :D

Thats, Syf tweaked the texture when he worked on it (looks a lot better than when i did it)

And i dont really get what you mean with the dflector dish.

As for the registry, as that is on the texture its self its a pain to photoshop out (well for me anyway) it took a while to edit it from "1701-E" to "7101-E" lol

Anyway keep downloading folks!
