Nyx's Old Conversions
<drums>Welcome to my workshop!

This thread has a similar history as Droid's one. I'm working on old models, trying to improve them as much as I can. No, I'm not rivalry for Droid. Just I'm doing similar work as him. This stuff is out of today standards, but still can be useful. Some of them still have polish tech description, I'm too lazy to translate everything.

***GTC ALETHEIA***
Strike Cruiser

http://www.2shared.com/file/gYeB6Fs-/Aletheia.html
I was starting conversion of Taristin's cruisers and Calypso a long time ago for my friend's project Pandemonium: Fears of the Crowd, but I think it's not fair. Models from modeldumps and similar sources should be available for all... So if you want use that models, you can use mine or Droid's versions. Mine are bigger, have different turrets and different mapping in a few places.  Original model by Taristin. LODs and debris by Droid803 Conversion by Me. Turrets from MediaVPs.

***GTC PHANES***
Escort Cruiser

http://www.2shared.com/file/-cmMUnvB/Phanes.html
Smaller brother of the Aletheia, ideal for escort missions.
Original model by Taristin. LODs and debris by Droid803. Conversion by Me. Turrets from MediaVPs.

***THE HALF-HTL ARCADIA***

[2shared link removed, use mediafire mirror posted below]
For old-school players :). I don't know how is the history of that model. As I remember, FSF did it for Mjn.Mixael for remake of intro cutscene, but later he released .dae file somewhere in FSU Board. It can be drag-and-drop replacement for retail model, however I didn't tested dockpoints and didn't imported glowpoints.

***GTCv CALYPSO***
Strike Corvette

http://www.2shared.com/file/d5rdmJ8Y/Calypso.html
One of the best corvettes I've ever seen. Original model by Raven2001 has very ugly mapping [vertical faced textures], Kobrar44 fixed it and later I've did a conversion. Turrets from Raynor and MediaVPs.

***GTCa SAGITTARIUS***
Carrier

http://www.2shared.com/file/63KZ7NO-/Sagittarius.html
Remake of old Ryx' model by Taristin, used in TVWP. I've noticed HTL Sagi on Admiral Nelson's screenshot from Unification War and I asked him about this model. He allowed me to use it in Shadow Genesis, but now I have final replacement, so I have nothing to do with this model. I reconverted and returreted it for my second project - Nocturnal Skies [Also known as Ultima Cena] where it's going to stay... But it's not my model. It belongs to the community!
Orginal model was very buggy, I removed a lot of this s#%#t and now It's usable [I think]. It has different turret setup for Ultima Cena, but I'm going to release a version with old setup to be drag-and-drop replacement.

Everything have tables. Enjoy! More models are coming, even maybe completely new ones. If someone need some released model with different turret setup or something like that, I would be honored to help :).
 

EDIT:
Mediafire mirrors:
Arcadia from 2shared link is buggy. Dockpoints don't work correctly. Mirror below contains fixed version ready to be full drag-and-drop replacement.

Wut? That isn't the model I got from FSF. Besides, I fully plan on using the newer HTL that I have been "working" on...

Anyhow, some of these look pretty decent.

Thank you! I didn't realize those old buckets of mine were still useful to someone :D
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

The shape of the Calpyso is good, but the mapping overall is unfortunately still atrocious.

 
can you please mirror them someplace else? I can't get them!!

Hmm... 2shared links seems to work for me. Anyway, I've uploaded all models on mediafire to provide good mirrors. Arcadia is now fixed. Have fun.

The Arcadia wouldn't bother me so much if the textures weren't blurry like my 20/400 sight without glasses or contact lenses.
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Yeah well, it was never supposed to be used in this way... I hardly even touched the docking plate thingo, just slapped an overstretched texture onto it for the sake of... eh... having it textured. The plate is quite invisible in the FS1 intro, so I thought I'd get away with it.

Betrayal: If the Arcadia on 2shared is bugged, you may want to remove the download link :P

Heh, right :P.
I think it works well as replacement of retail Arcadia, especialy in FSPort Campaigns. I'm planning small alterations in current mapping, including rescaling of install01-04 but not now. I'm busy with other models.

You mean the rest of it doesn't use a slapped-on texture? Sure looks that way.

Well, for the rest of it I tried, at least. In my defence, this was only my second (IIRC) serious model.

:bump:

Nothing special, just fixed old models:

***GTLr MAJESTIC***

DOWNLOAD
Old, ugly Trashman's civilian liner but still useful. I've resmoothed it, reducted the texture count, changed turret setup and fixed all pof data. Fixing done for Shadow Genesis.


***GTI NAREOS***

DOWNLOAD
Cool station by Trashman, but with bad smoothing, ugly textures and a lot of textures. I've retextured it and deleted the unnecessary texture slots. Also added the new turrets, fixed smoothing, and fixed pof data. Another fixed model from Shadow Genesis. BTW. This one has missile launchers instead of triple-barrel turrets.

***GTCv RAIDEN***

DOWNLOAD
The oldest s**t I've ever worked on. One of the last remnant files from my lost Terra Revelation project, I have no idea what to do with this so I'm releasing it. Retextured to INFA textures, can be used as nice post-GW corvette in Sol campaigns or whatever.

BTW. Tables for Majestic and Nareos can be found with the original models.
