Here is a test model I made for the followup to the texturing tutorial that I wrote.
Still needs the debris pieces added and a docking point.  I'm releasing it now as an
example on what type of models can be created with Truespace2.

I've included the SCN file, all the textures, and a test mission to check the model,
along with a few screen shot of what the model will look like in the tech database,
in mission, and when it has some damage.

The screen0x.pcx files are the screen shots. Delete these if you wish.

Copy the remaining PCX files (dc03-01a.pcx, in06-01a.pcx, in06-01u.pcx, in06-02a.pcx,
and sc01-01a.pcx) into your Freespace /DATA/MAPS/ directory.

Copy the appropriate POF file for FS1 or FS2 into the /DATA/MODELS/ directory and the
corresponding mission file into your /DATA/MISSIONS/ directory.

Extract the ships.tbl file and add the following entries to the table:

The TPG1 is one of the standard GTA facilities for storing nebula gas collected by mining vessels.  The pressurized gas domes contain the duterium gas and prevent it from becoming reactive before it is converted into fuel.

If you decide to use this model, or modify the SCN file, please give credit. No other
restrictions for use. Thank you.

See you on PXO!
