I downloaded and played TBP years ago (I think it was the first relase) and I really liked the earth model that was used. It was slightly innefficient because it was a textured ship, but I liked it better than the skybox version because I could adjust it to be closer/further to the player and now with the advent of skyboxes I would like to use another star skybox instead.

Is the original Earth/Mars model available anywhere still?

I got it, but it has no textures. It's also still the the core, I think.

The one I'm looking for is the flat model that simulated low earth orbit in the original earth-minbari war campaign.

Sorry to be such a pain guys...I've downloaded both versions of TBP trying to find it and can't.

That's the lunar landscape, correct? While very useful, it's not what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is a model that is inserted into FRED (like the asteroid "ship"). It is circular and a few hundred meters thick (arbitrarily). When place in the mission faced towards the player, it emulates a skybox but it was created before that technology was available.

It should be in the Release 1 and Release 2 downloads somewhere.  If you can't find them, I've got a copy of both on my old computer.  I could dig it up if need be.

I could only find Release 3 downloads, would it be too much trouble to upload one of them? (if R2 has it, that'd be fine...IIRC it has a similiar model of mars).

I don't think it will work in new SCP...

See there is a lower texture limit now and there were over 40 in the old model.
All the textures were called ATM-(number)

I'm not sure if the new limit is 16-18 now.

That's why I have to redo all those conversions I made long ago that have like 49 textures....
