Thank you. Raynor HTL already implemented. And I'm already using the ---Steve-O---'s pack 3.

If you want your mod/campaign translated to spanish, please PM me or send me an e-mail message.

I could translate from spanish to english too, if you want, but it wouldn't be perfect, not at all. For spanish->english translations comes better an english native with spanish knowledge.

Steve-O's ships are gonna give you mighty performance trouble. Limit the number onscreen at once if you can.

It is because their high number of polygons? Well, thanks for the advise.

No, it's because of them not being textured well.

Textures are the main resource drain in FSO, and those models are not efficiently textured.

You just put the eyepoint in front of the pilot's face in that case. It was because Steve-O didn't have time to rig models for all the cockpits, I believe.

 
Re: WIP: The Great War: Independence (not part of FreeSpace story-line)
Well, I'm idiot :rolleyes:. I know it.

I've stopped developing this mod because of real life things, as always (studies, writing a book, translation projects... and all that). I don't know if permanently, but it is definitively stopped for now (maybe I'll work on it in summer, or later).

I'm not a modder, and I was an idiot by thinking I could make a mod. You can call this mod "dead". And an "idiocy".

So I'm going to release everything I got. I'm going to put the mod here available to download. If you want to take a look at it, or take anything from it (sound effects, music...), please, by all means. The upload is going to take a while...

Pardon me for any inconvenience.

Appreciate your words. I'll give it a chance in the future, maybe. But no worries. My book is based on this mod ;7, a little. 116 pages so far. And it fits better in the book, I believe. In the end, this work isn't completely lost...

There was a problem with the upload. I'll try again tomorrow.

Re: WIP: The Great War: Independence (not part of FreeSpace story-line)

A generous and ambitious idea. I read the first post, outside of that I haven't read much of the remainder posts other than people whining about how there were newer ships out than what was listed, hopefully that was not de-motivational to you in any way. (Annoying, when people can't just grasp the concept of shut-the-hell up, isn't it. Any newer models could have been addressed prior to final release, placeholders of the current ones would have been just fine to get something out the door with and draw in help so you wouldn't have to go it alone, but some people just want their everything right away no matter what.)

This was a big ambition. Had to have been quite a struggle, glad you kept with it for as long as you did. The importance of RL factors is well understood, I'm sure somebody will keep the light on in regards to this project because it honestly appears to have a lot of promise and potential to it.

Thanks for being willing to share it and give it a chance to be kept alive, look forward to anything more you can add to it when time allows.

     You are unique, You can't do everything, but you bring something very good to the table. Sometimes order to be a success, you have to depend on others. Especially of those with different talents. I mean sometimes you have to trust people to get ahead. It usually takes a few persons with different skills sets to accomplish any great work. When someone has a passion for something. They are the ones you should trust to do it. They should be encouraged and relied upon as the as the best way to help them. And oneself in the long run.
    You are great a telling a story. This good because one cannot start, whether a movie or a game, without one. Tell your story. The world will be a better place for it. Then trust others to make it a movie or a game. A good story will always get the attention it deserves.
I teach Physics, Chemistry and Biology to teenagers. I often say the teenagers are my favorite people. While I sometimes can't understand their language. I prove every once in a while, This old philosopher may understand a little more about how life works than they do.
    Sometimes the best way to help someone is to just believe in them and give them a chance. Other times. One has to teach them a lesson on in humility. "While it is good to feel one can take on the world. One should not have the attitude to go along with it". And then there are times one have to give "due encouragement" to get of their "lazy tales" and do something instead of just whining.
   When One makes a mistake, It is not the end. But an opportunity to learn from ones mistake, dust one self off, Maybe go back to training, and comeback and try again. People lose when they mistakenly believe they can't try again or they cannot learn. But at the same time, one will learn, what one has the passion for, the most.
   I impress on my students - "The best teenager, is a hard working one" and " I if one is not exhausted and dying to get into bed at night, One has just wasted ones youth". " One has to learn to work HARD and play HARD to be a success". But the most important thing to remember is "To know ones calling :- Whatever one have learned to overcome, share that with others".

Where are you uploading? Freespacemods has a upload limit and usually swantz has to upload large stuff there himself instead, you may want to upload it to mediafire so I can give the link to swantz to upload.

Re: WIP: The Great War: Independence (not part of FreeSpace story-line)
Oh my... thank you so much, people. Ok, it was just a moral drop. I got better now :p. Forget about the "dead" thing. This mod isn't dead, just temporaly stopped. *cough cough*

Anyway I'm going to share with you this thing, and my sound effects collection.

Can't remember, but I think I've retextured it, and fixed some turret fovs with PCS (or it was the Mk1?). I hope that isn't a problem :D, lol
