can i do anything with it?

i just realized how much the Daedalus looks like a BSG battle star....

Now why on God's green earth would I release a model that you couldn't do something with?   

Of course you can use the model in the game just make sure you read the readme file before asking anymore questions.  

everytime i open it it goes to notepad.

Because the model isn't meant to be viewed directly. Assumably you'd add a hull entry that references it in GC2Types.xml, or edit a shipcfg for a design to point to it.

A crazy thought wandered through my head...

Stargate doesn't have that many individual ship classes. You've got three Tau'ri hulls, three Goa'uld hulls, and one or two hulls for the Ori, the Wraith, and the Asgard. That's hardly mod-worthy material.

But when you think about it, the hull design in the Stargate universe is very modular - the Daedalus is basically the Prometheus, but with some extra jewelery slapped on. Why not take full advantage of the ship design feature by creating a library of hulls and components?

Cool

kryo, and republic of cats, you can download the microsoft DirectX SDK from microsoft's website and install it. It comes with a dirextX .x file viewer. it will open any .x file in a model viewing window. I find it very useful when modding the game b/c i can check that everything looks right after i've converted to .x format.

to the creator of the deadalus model, i don't suppose you could tell me what high detail version you based your model on? i'd love to know.

Hey, i'm new to modding, ive just edited and customized so far. I downloaded the daedalus, but dont really know how to use it in game. Does it need to be in a precise location or do i need to change some other things? Cool pics though

There is an included readme.txt file with instructions.

well i cant actually open the zip folder so cant get the readme file

im glad to see more stargate fans out there   but i cant download the mods and i would love this ship to be in my game is there anyway i could design it myself??

well i cant actually open the zip folder so cant get the readme file

If you are using WindowsXP compression is built in to the OS.

All you have to do is right-click the file and choose "Extract All...", choose a folder and follow the prompts.

And it treats the zip file as a folder, as you just indicated. You can double click the file to open it, then you can drag-and-drop the files from that window to any regular folder you wish and they will be copied in their extracted form.

um....what would we all have to do to get all the ships y'all have been working on?

If it helps any I have .3ds models for like all the ships...i just don't know how to use 3ds max or mod them at all...i would be willing to help out

TOTALLLLLY awesome mate. My SG1 and Atlantis are my 2 fav progs on tv .... erm actually .... the only progs worth watching for me. I'm a newbie here and wondered if anyone could help/show me the way to download this beautiful craft??

I am also a 3ds max and Gmax modeller (mainly combat flight sim stuff at the mo), but would love to get my teeth into some of this stuff one day.

An idea, Aliens Sulaco and the dropship maybe (unless already done).

Have been thinking of building the dropship for some time.

god i hate this!
I cant see the pictures. Everyone is saying "Wow, what a cool ship" and I cant see it. Not fair.

han, you said you were working on the stargate mod back in sept 2006, its now dec 2007, at least you got the races into the ultimate sci fi one (wow this post is lame isn't it? no obviously plugging here)

There is a mod being worked on at I-Mod Productions, and we have more than just the Deadalus finished.

Thats nice, this post is actually really really old, and infact we have the ancients, asgard, goa'uld, in a mod, just others are coming on their way, just need some more time. let us know if you need anything
