It'd be nice if he sent a backup for us to lock away in a vault, in case he gets hit by a bus or something.
-
Well clearly a project this big tends to end this way, with the author losing motivation. :( But I would have thought that if he had no intention of completing this then he would release what he has done so far.
-
Have some faith.
-
None this year's 11 - 13 or so HTL projects still haven't been finished, I don't think there's very much room for faith.
-
Uh... most of peterv's HTL Vasudan fighters have been finished.
-
Have some faith.
Faith is for the blind!
We want results and insurances, especially of things that are awesome.
-

The Thoth and Tauret? I only know two that are actually finished.
-
You forgot sbout Bakha.
-
Has that been released?
-
Yes.

So it is.
-
The download link to it is going on that page though.
-
I really don't care how long it takes, if it does come out, it will be soooo awesome. :D

Faith is for the transient people.
(That's what's conveniently playig in Winamp right now)

That still leaves the Zephyrus (by Enioch), the Argo (also by Enioch), the Boanerges (by AthlonBoy), the Poseidon (by BrotherByron, apparently blowfish was supposed to do this one but he got abducted by aliens), the Hippocrates (also by BrotherByron), the Charybdis (by Axem)...
At least the Cain and Colossus are still being worked on, the makers of these ones seem to have either disappeared or are too busy doing other unimportant stuff like having lives to be working on our HTL models.
-
And the Rakshasa, and I remember someone was working on converting HTL Arcadia parts to make them usable ingame, the Basilisk, the Manticore, the Hades, the Dragon, the Taurvi, the Azrael, and the Demon, which all have had some sort of update at one point in this year as well, but still have yet to be released.
So that's 18 ships.
-
There's also Esarai's Typhon.
-
Forgot about that, 19. :P
I think that one was turning out pretty well, I'd really like to see that one finished.

The Dragon was finished, in that it was released and is usable in-game, but it wasn't much of an improvement over the original model. No offense to esarai.
And the Typhon is teh smex. :cool:
-
Yes, Esarai has released his HTL Dragon, but it's a bit disappointing.
He said he'd like to remake it someday, it was one of his first HTLs.
-
Regardless, it's pretty clear that a huge amount of update potential has grinded to a halt.
-
:confused:
Where'd it all go.............
-

TBH, in-game it looked utterly identical to the low-poly model.

I mean in general with the 18 HTL projects.

you mean hatsheput? i don't believe it.
-
He meant the Dragon.
-
Blame it on the maps?
EDIT: Holy off topoc again.

topoc lol

Yes, that's how I spell topic. Topoc.
-
Well anyway until ragingloli gets back we can't exactly hope for any updates...

For a lot of ships, especially fighters it is very hard to see them up close. Sure they look nice in screen shots and renders but a lot of the HTL fighters look very similar. IMO it is only the capships which really stand out, and are the ones which show why HTL upgrades are so very nice.
-
You forget the Ulysses. Noone can say it looks similar to the retail one :D
-
I don't like it that well.
-
I don't like it that well.
You don't like the new Hatshepsut?
BURN THE HERETIC.
-
I think he meant the Ulysses. I like most of it but the cockpit and the textures.
-
I think he meant the Ulysses.
Dah.
-
Then why are you talking about it in the Hatshepsut thread!?
-
Because nobody's talking about the Hatshepsut, DUH!
Thread has become very off-topic. Methinks a lock may be in order (perhaps to be later unlocked at the request of ragingloli?)

Locking it will probably just deter him.

Split it then.

I like that idea. :nervous:
-
I'd like to split but there's no common subject in these posts, it's just rambling. And I'd rather not just delete two pages of posts.
-
It could be called "Rambling about Unfinished HTL Ships."
-
:confused:
Where'd it all go.............
Well I can't speak for the others but as far as my WIP models go, I can say lack of progress can be blamed mainly on having to venture into the unfamiliar processes of moving a model to game and the lack of time I've had to learn them before proceeding. Have patience all yee of little faith I still read the boards every couple of days.

Have you uploaded WIPs anywhere, in case of something bad?
:confused:

You rammed it with your Loki :rolleyes:
-
when ever I made stuff I always dumped gallons of wips all over everyone.
-
OK, here is a zip containing all the latest iterations of my WIP models.

Cooooooool.

The name of this thread is now perfect.

Oh noes! Why would you release SketchUp files? I can't open those! :(
-

No reason you can't. You could start with getting Sketchup.
Then all you need to do is export the model to Google earth format. (kmz)
Rename the .kmz to .zip and inside is the collada file.
-
Really? Wow, talk about security through obscurity. Fail.
-
you are assuming security was a goal.
-
Yeah, but...
I dislike SketchUp... Very. Much.

At least you could, well, you know. *look* at them. :P
-
Or you could do what Water said and open them up in something like Blender.
-
Uh...Water didn't mention Blender at all.
-
No, but he mentioned extracting a collada file. And one of the many programs able to import collada files is Blender, hence my mentioning it.
