Spacebuild 3 Ships - Construction Techniques

[dedmenstuff]

how or why have you all the ship parts in 1 menu

[mitchleider]

start ship kinda looks like a vulture from halo

[kayleigh4451]

WHAT MAP



[awsomeDualshock]

what does smartsnap do and how do i use it?

[newe6000]

@awsomeDualshock It helps you place thing exactly, when you hold your use key (default e) it snaps your mouse to a grid, helping when you want precision.

[HiddenFace201]

I have downloaded everything I need, but the ship parts arent showing up anywhere... where are they??

[halo22222q]

@HiddenFace201 go to gmod.org now it will have a small tut on it telling you what to download also heres another link that is from a space age server

ww w.spaceage .eu / index.php / topic / 633-tutorial-spaceage-svn-link­s/

Remove the spaces in the link :P

[xborn2besnip3rx]

How can I ge that map? I have spacebuild 3 but I can't find that map anywhere. :(

[16piller16lol]

more like a shuttle...

[gmodero11hl2]

The spacebuild's maps don't working to me. what can to be this problem?

(sorry if my english isn't very well, i'm spanish)

[gmodero11hl2]

you can get Spacebuild 3 writing in google: spacebuild 3 mediafire

[hypercannon1]

Where do you get spacebuild?

[theglitcherking]

what map is this

[ThatBum42]

@theglitcherking sb_forlorn_sb3_r2l

[xXDruarkXx]

wow i didnt realise making ship look good was so easy!

[kas130771]

very nice videos!!! :)

[joeyXDface]

Like a big box of lego bricks : )

[rctmonger1108]

How come you didn't use the SBEP Part Assembler?

[norway172]

@rctmonger1108 This video was before SBEP Part Assembler was created.

[Daymaster88]

Could the capital ship be controlled with gyropod advanced?

[malooteren]

@Daymaster88 yes, thats the best methode

u just need to make an entire section of the ship the the gyro by pressing r while looking at a piece

[gravitycatnotamused1]

who made garys mod

[Headshot2142]

@gravitycatnotamused1 Gary Newman

[Kronosphere100]

What models do you use for the ship?

[vortex594]

YOU are a very good tutor. you caused me to make a ship with auto targeting mac cannons and escape pods =) i will now subscribe

[stanoxtreme]

There is something more easy it's sbep tools

[Nick7384]

The map is Forlorn.

[Nick7384]

What map is this?

[KnightRul]

Wow That Is So Awesome! Thanks For this Vid!

[darkpbj1]

hey how about the links for your smart snap and easy presision and stuff

[Sch0rcher]

damn these tutorials are so useful

i was just about to go medieval on my computer with a baseball bat till i saw this

[Scoobycraft]

Why dont use Gyro pod? Its much easier than thrusters and hoverballz, u just need to know some basics in wire!



[XDjohanmystXD]

Funny how the first ship has no door... :S

[yappers4]

where do i dl the ship parts? I have all the stuff needed for life supprot but not the ship parts >.<

[frankytap]

what non standard gmod tools are you using? =)

[111111222223]

you dont need to press shift and e to align with the smartsnap. it works with e as well.

[boomshot51]

can someone put a link to the download site of sb3 & the model pack??? PLZ?

[Kitteh77Productions]

lol..the bigger ship looks like the Stargate X-303 Prometheus

[Linkbomber1]

You should have shot the RPG at it, it might have worked.

[xMaidenSlayerx]

i have a question i downloaded spacebuild entities, weapons, fighters&hangers, and fortifications. i can spawn them but they are errors wat do i have to download for them not to be errors?

[Spec0pps117]

no need for smart snap anymore lol... at least with SBEP...

[DarkMew1337]

:D Giant lego's

[goodbyeash]

Doesnt the SBMP pack come with the tool that connects Small Bridge parts together?

[HNigran]

I love your tutorials, keep em coming! :D

[DJNymanz]

Any 1 know what map? :)

[InfiniVide]

I have Easy Precision, Smart Weld, and Smart Snap, but when I'm trying to use Easy Precision on the ship components, I get a message in the corner saying "Tool: No constraint to remove" and the components won't move to each other (or do anything, really). What might I do to fix this?

[666gopal]

hi morecam, im a big fan maybe we could place gmod together sometime? my steam user is gopaza

[armystrong9997]

ok please do a tutorial about how to get this gmod or watever....please, i will subscribe you and get all of my subber to sub u if u do.......please!!!!!!!!!!

[krd]

@armystrong9997 Download it from steam.

Half life 2 is a must.

[krd]

@armystrong9997

You can download it from steam for ten bucks.

You need Half life two, and Half life two, episodes one and two would be a good idea as well

[MultiSS55]

if anyone could plz tell me what is needed and how to download that would be nice ty

[Ferrit938]

Can u save the ships u have made

[h0troddude]

you sound like microsoft sam (no offenese) :)

[spart169]

do u know how to turn SBEP Missile pods into homing weapons i use to know how but cant remember what wire inputs to use probably wrong video to be asking on but u have experience

[Xecuter274]

or just use the NEW sbep assembly tool

[LuizxDlol]

how do I get these lines in the props .. to make it easier to build things?

[halogreg8889]

6:31 because the angel that your standing

[seygur]

hvat did you download for all those props?

maby a link

[GroupGarbage]

This was your most helpful tutorial to me. Thanks!

[liamsp544]

To those having problems with easy precision, make sure u followed his instructions and set offset at 0 or 1.

[Cackles4EVA]

copy of the cap ship i mean, not SBMP*

Also if you know any other good ships that i can get i would b grateful

[Cackles4EVA]

i have the latest SBMP, and when i use the dupe of the capital ship i get all errors, do you have a more up to date copy?

[mantas1111000]

What are alternate ways of connecting props? Easy precision doesn't work. It allways rotates the prop a little bit. And what map are you using?

[denmarkguy1]

my crosshairs dissapeared HELP!!!

[fragnutss117]

hey can someone please tell me how to walk around in the ship in space without losing oxigine a enerygy i realy need to know.

[HighWireken]

Construct a life support system on your ship (mainly energy & oxygen, water or nitrogen is needed when travelling to hot planets for cooling)

Check XMorcamX's youtube channel, he's got a few very good tutorials on life support systems

[Wilzaza]

I was good at sb2 I just got sb3 if its the same you will need to connect heat (energy) and air exchangers in your ship or you could put a climate regulator that would supply all of the things you need to stay alive.

[mantas1111000]

Build a life support system and gravity plate the ship/station.

[deoradude]

man why havent i used this yet?

[NBGZerO]

Did you get the addons from the SVN?

[ShareThaFuck]

You´re probably stoned.

Because there´s no other way you could be such a goog Ship-builder^^

[garaa546]

I can't believe one of my vids was a featured in the related videos...

[Gorillazfan1400]

lol, can u help me out?

[bigiri]

Why don't you use the entity ships ? They are much more controlable than the custum built ones. Altough you can't connect LS to them, but an air exchanger and a heat exchanger does that well.

[random90909090]

people build bigger ships because with the entity ships your limited were making your own ship your not exception of lag.

[SeXeHRD]

how can i get rid of that stupid "going in and out of each other" in my ship? Can i just make it some kind of solid, so the parts aren`t moving in and out as you have shown in 2:57 ?? Wtf this is bullshit. Can you plz tell me how to get rid of that BS

Thx

[XMorcamX]

Why would you want to? The only time this happens is when your ship accelerates stupidly quickly anyways. You could just not no-collide it, but that would be stupid and laggy.

[123ilikecheese456]

you should make a tut how to get spacebuild 3 beta

[killgore468]

your ship is 3.141592654983426477 cm off my good sir :P

[andarsjukir]

@ Killgore468 PI ftw! :D

[francesboy2]

i like pi!

[BLANKMEMORYDATA]

multi-parent

[shadoskill]

@SeXeHRD look for parent tool its beter then weld is fixes that problem

[DarthFolo]

@SeXeHRD Try smart constraint tool, it helps at the least.

[Randomshit1353]

@SeXeHRD you can get rid of that "BS" by using super parent multi BUT make sure you do this AFTER your contraption IS COMPLETELY COMPLETE!!!!!!! and also have super parent mod checked!!!!!!!

[1337lolguyman]

@SeXeHRD start by building the ship outside of no-collide, then no-collide the whole ship after you weld all of the parts. This way, under normal circumstances, parts don't do that. Sometimes, though, your ship will sustain damage and some parts will move, in which case the parts will then go inside each other so they can easily move back to their origional positions.

[BackOfFace]

@SeXeHRD u can use a parenting tool but that's pretty laggy maybe in the future it will be less glitchy and garry will put it in the game

[QbertTehKiller]

@SeXeHRD Welding the shit out of it helps. I usually weld front/back of all props if I can

[boomshot51]

do all of those props come with spacebuild3?

[tomyverce4]

no u get them from space build model pack

[NCNballistix]

help plz my custom addon framework will not work no matter what ive tried svn and nonsvn wheni do svn it gives me an error saying it doesnt exist! HELP PLZ!!!!

[paczard]

thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Robbiedebeer01]

I do know what happened to Easy precision @ 7:10.

the prop wants to stay exactly at an exact same position seen from the player.

[bor2571]

Oddly when I go to space without life support I can still breath can anyone help me.

[dusty222222]

do you have the space build gamemode?

in sandbox the enviroment is not in effect

[gmodman96]

where can I download spacebuild model svn?

[McAsherz]

i would also like to know this.

[XMorcamX]

Facepunch Forums Models Releases

[McAsherz]

thanks, any ideas to remove the error models and models that don't work. Because my whole entire spawnlist is riddled with them, i've tried rebuilding, but to no effect.

[tyrantstarscream]

@XMorcamX  can i ask where do you get easy precision

[BoBakkenLives]

-.- Whenever i put LS2 or LS3 in my addons it doesn't work!

[MGlBlaze]

You need much more than just LS3. You also need Spacebuild 3 (Both gamemode and addon forms), custom addon framework, Resource Distribuion 3, and I would reccomend getting the other optional extras such as Resource Transit too.

[BoBakkenLives]

yea i got the SVN which has all of that i think ut i never heard of a SB3 Addon

[MGlBlaze]

It's a recent addition, I didn't know if it at first because I hadn't played GMod for so long, but now the SpaceBuild game mode comes in two modules; one for the gamemode folder, one in the addon folder. If you get the most recent SVN addresses, you should be able to fix the problems you've been having.

Oh, almost forgot; LS3 is split into two parts you need as well; one is LS3: Core, the other is LS3: Entities. Both of these go in the addon folder, though.

[BoBakkenLives]

okay thanks, i have both of the LS3 Addons but i need to find that SB3 addon...

[mike95821]

Cool tutorial, have a question though. I have a problem where the game will pause, im not kidding like 4-5 seconds, once every so often. It seems to get worse the more resource components you use. I suppose this is due to the amount of scripts running, but is there anything I can do to improve this? I dont notice it at all on your video, but have read about the problem before.

[yummyummtheman]

Thanks, this really helped.

[MrGuy214]

HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD THE MODELS! PLZ!!

My head will explode if i don't get those models soon! D:

[Siomonte]

morcam your´re my god!

[aval1998]

yo morcma i need help cause all my veicles say error or won't work or won't spawn and my slyfo and some spawn list just say ERROR will u help me?

thanks

[csnvg1]

when you spawn them does it say error or just in the spawn icons? if the spawn icons right click the icon then select te second one down then choose the refreshing icons thing you wantn there is 'just this icon' and 'all icons'

[gta700]

i made a bad ass Space Ship with Docking and a extra room for like, storage, can you make a tut on how to make a air lock? that would be useful

[pokefreak339]

the shift e dont work cuz it only works wit easy weld

[darnocslew]

how do you add the props/i mean spacebuild modle pack because i have it and it wont show up on my spawn list/where should i install it to?

[Pa1tz]

Hey Morcam, could you perhaps give us the smartsnap settings? Thanks in advance :)

[XMorcamX]

They're just default...

[Levrifon]

Thanks Morcam for this tutorial :) . At 1:46 when you say "perfect" it's the same sound in Quake when the voice said : Perfect ! (Sorry for the bad english)

[VitasLoWang]

Morcam make a GyroPod or GyroPod advanced tutorial ;-) From some reason only advanced works for me:-\

[Gogoguru2]

Morcam i love you and your spacebuild skills, this helped me alot! ty!

Joke on the "i love you part" :D

[xlxUndeadBunniesxlx]

it's not working on the bottom because you have it rotated. you have to look straight forward

[XMorcamX]

No, it has to do with the differing spawn directions of the two parts.

[Revilosama]

where did you get the props?

[DarkDJ27]

could some one help me? i have space build 2 and 3 but i when i got to build my ship i don't have all the ship parts he is using in the vid

[zombiekiller555]

u need a model pack

[DarkDJ27]

i ahve space build 2 and 3, but i when i'm on mult i don't have all those props that ur using

[tate118]

hey isnt the reason y the thing isnt working is it because of the angle of where you click the weld button on the bottom of the object

[pallmanni]

you speak very very slowly, you simply wont get to the point!

[XMorcamX]

Ragequit life?

[CutelilMaggie]

wow cool

[xlxUndeadBunniesxlx]

where do you go for the ship parts and corridors and all that?

[ryconi1]

is spacebuild part of gary's mod

[Paxtionia]

it's a game mode on garrys mod

[BluTrollPro]

Thats rly nice m8 GJ... lil question though (not an insult:D) r u a perfectionist?

[XMorcamX]

Erm... No?

[BluTrollPro]

hehe just seems a bit like it in some of ur vids Nudgin all the lil edges so its all just perfect :) not meaning it in a offensive way its not a bad thing probably better than my tactic of "slap it all together and hope it works" :P well tnx for reply rly like ur vids m8 helped me alot with spacebuild

[XMorcamX]

I'm just trying to keep everything inline so that I don't go bouncing around when I run through.

[BoBakkenLives]

cool

[CyranoMontoya]

i've just fallen in love with easyprecision...

[aaronp1016]

where can i download the easy precision tool?

[BoBakkenLives]

Garrysmod . org

[BoBakkenLives]

garrysmod[dot]org

[XMorcamX]

It also comes with the PHX3 svn.

[borborcarcar]

Where do put adv. duplicator files ?

[XMorcamX]

gmod/gmod/data/adv dupe, i think...

I dunno, I just make them myself.

[borborcarcar]

Ty :D

[Shadowkiller1906]

garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/adv duplicator/

[dav491]

my smart weld wont work on most online servers for some reason is there anything else i can use to weld them togeather?

[XMorcamX]

They just don't have it on their server. Use the regular weld tool.

[cooltomxxxx]

On spacebuild 2 i don't have any tools  :(

[Dazzacopley]

this is spacebuild 3

[LiMpIcH]

Oh man :P i love your tutorials i am in love whit spacebuild cuse of your tutorials, ´:) but i really hope that Sb is a girl lololol xD

Keep it up

[Glimmerang]

Do you know how to make a survial pod I have been having problems with mine

[XMorcamX]

Survival pod...?

[Glimmerang]

You know a 1 to 2 man pod that floats in space mostly used(by me) to attack enemy ships or othere things It keeps making the metal hitting together sound and I noclide them

[Reavance]

What are you recording with?

[XMorcamX]

Fraps

[drzoidberg223]

how do i get the spacebuid models and could i use just regular phx parts instead?

[XMorcamX]

Spacebuild model pack can be found on the facepunch forums, under models releases, called spacebuild enhancement project. The svn is just like the ones from spacebuild 3, and the link is in the first post.

[Ajb75]

Can you give me a link on how to download the models? Please? I have spacebuild, but it doesn't have all of those cool parts and tunnels. And please don't just say "Spacebuild model packs" (sorry, I've been in a bad mood all day) it drives me insane when people say that.

[XMorcamX]

Err... it IS the spacebuild enhancement project. Look up the svn on the facepunch forums, in models releases.

[GMODCREATOR]

ryt ryt ryt i know how to amke ships but when evrer i use smaryt weld either the props just fall off or all the props move about either spacking out or going in a funny positon you knwo why?

[XMorcamX]

Don't undo the weld after you've made it?

[harrisonwragg]

Woo Morcam... i love your WORK!!!

[A15KaldrinJAB]

Lol, same here, whenever i need a tip for spacebuild, I chek out morcams work, KEEP UP THE GODLY WORK !!MORCAM!!, more morcam!! 5 stars!

[XMorcamX]

It's certainly a great tool, sure. However, if your welds are not dead on the first time and the spot you're trying to weld to is not on the smartsnap grid, you're going to want to use the nudge feature on easy precision. Also, you're still going to have to smart weld the thing together for any stability, so there's really no time saved.

[Firgof]

A big thumbs up. You do us proud, sir. =)

[XMorcamX]

Thanks!

[dany2rad]

Once you learn how to parent Welds seem outdated. If you want, I can post a short tutorial here.

[XMorcamX]

Parenting has less lag, sure. However, there are a tremendous number of drawbacks to parenting your ship, so welds certainly are not outdated. For example, parented props fall through the ground, and you can't attach any gcombat to them. I've heard this can be fixed by parenting to a wire entity, and if you can get it to work, go for it, but weld still works 100% of the time, and parenting doesn't. So no, welds are not outdated.

[ZigZaggityWW]

Very nice for beginners, good stuff with the easy precision and stuff. But I was noticing that it didnt seem like you had the rotate option for easy precision on - is there a reason? I find its very helpful for 99.9% of my contraptions, set to a 45 degree snap angle, with the aligned to world axis checkmark checked. Looks like it would solve your problems of rotation, assuming the rest of the ship is snapped to some axis.

[XMorcamX]

I didn't use rotate simply because I didn't need it. Quite simply, my ship didn't need to have any parts rotated. I certainly could have used it when I had problems with the engine, but I just didn't think of it at the moment. Alternately, I could have used stacker, which probably would have worked better, but once again, I just wasn't thinking of it at the time.

[CSyoshoro]

maybe u should use weld easy
