UCGO Server

Most players has probably seen the Gyan model preview on the “UCGO Models” page. If you haven’t it’s available in the menu to the right.

Those models are originally saved as Adobe Shockwave files and can only be viewed by installing the Shockwave player. But I just wanted to show everyone it is possible to extract the models and get them into UCGO.

Here’s the Gyan in 3D Studio: http://ucgoserver.com/images/gyan.jpg

And getting the Gyan, or any other model, from 3D Studio to UCGO will be possible. I know how, just need to write a program for doing it. But that will take some time to do.

And remember to read the post below and install the new client update.

I managed to get the Raketen Bazooka into the game as an entirely new weapon, instead of having it replace the Hyper bazooka as in the previous test update.

Seems to work fine without any problems.

However UCGO has a max limit to how many weapons there can be. In order to make room for the Raketen Bazooka and the EX version of it I removed the HG Head Vulcan and HG Chest Vulcan.

Only the HG versions are removed, the normal and EX versions of the vulcans are still available.

Just a little update on the Raketen Bazooka. I’ve included a screenshot, the Raketen Bazooka is now listed in the weapons factory and the preview image is working.

I have released an update for those who would like to try the Raketen Bazooka and see what it looks like inside the game.

This update will replace the Hyper Bazooka for the EF with the Raketen Bazooka. Just buy the Hyper Bazooka in the store and you get the Raketen Bazooka instead.

Note that this update only changes the appearance of the Hyper Bazooka, it does not make it more powerful or any other changes.

Before installing the update you should backup your existing UCGO installation so you can later revert the changes.

You do NOT need to install this update. Only install it if you want to see what the Raketen Bazooka looks like.

Also you must set the graphics detail level to the highest setting for it to work.

I’m sure most players already know there was a Raketen Bazooka model in UCGO Beta, and I’ve posted pictures of it before.

Since I’ve recently made progress with importing new models into UCGO here are some new pictures of the Raketen Bazooka.

Once it’s done it will be added into UCGO. However that might take some time so don’t expect it to happen in 1-2 weeks. Right now the Raketen Bazooka replaces the Giant Bazooka, but adding the Raketen Bazooka into UCGO as an entirely new weapon takes a considerable amount of work.

And when I’m done with the Raketen Bazooka I plan to add the RGM-79GL, GM Command Light Armor. The RGM-79GL will be like a training project because right now adding a brand new MS or new terrain into UCGO is a bit too complicated.

The RGM-79GL can be built from the existing 79L and 79G models and will be a good way to learn more about the file format of the 3D models in UCGO.

I have somewhat good news.

As many players probably know there was a model of A Baoa Qu in UCGO Beta. I tried to get that  model into the current version of UCGO and I’ve included some pictures of it below.

Unfortunately it seems like the model is too large to be used and it was perhaps meant to be placed in the background, similar to how you see the Earth in the background in space.

The good news is that I was actually able to import the A Baoa Qu model and put it somewhere in space. Because the same can be done with other models, so it is possible to e.g get a colony in space or a new space station or a new PVP area on Earth.
