Title: Robin Varley, I have a couple of questions about the GTI Acheron
Post by: Su-tehp on January 10, 2002, 05:48:00 pm
I noticed that the tech database write-up for the Acheron has several grammar errors. I have a second write-up available for your perusal. I tried e-mailing you but your e-mail addy was "undeliverable."

You can find my e-mail addy on the e-mailbutton in any of my posts. Let me know if you want to see that write-up. Anyone else reading this who knows how I can contact Robin, let me know.

Ah, well. I guess I'll just have to wait until someone has something useful to say...

Stop flaming people, just because the language used may seem advanced to you is no justification for your response, if it was in jest use a  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) to indicate it.

Whats his forum name Su-tehp?

I'm not sure what his forum name is; that's my problem. All I know is that he is the MODder who created the GTI Acheron MOD (it's a gun platfrom about twice the size of a Mjolnir beam cannon). The preview jpeg picture here in the HLP MODs section only has Robin's name, not his forum name.His e-mail button by his MOD also has the incorrect; I tried it already. So I'm hoping someone here can help me get in touch with him.

I also want to get in touch Woomeister, Bobboau and Aldo and Dark to talk about their MODs as well. I got the demo for IW and the MODs for the Phobos corvette, the Warlock supercarrier, the Vasudan Hathor (or is it the Cairo?) installation and the Arachanas Shivan installation. I just want to give them more improved tech database descriptions (it seems a shame to have such great MODs with less than grammatically perfect descriptions  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) ).

I just want to offer my new write-ups to them and see if they like them enough to inlcude them with their MODs.

Well for my mods the next release of the ships, they won't have a tech description  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
but I have no probs with you posting them here for other people to use.

If I remember right Robin Varely forum name is Robin Varely, but he hasn't been here in a while (that I noticed anyway)

Woomeister, thank God you replied here. I have new tech database write-ups for the GTCv Phobos and the SI Arachnas for you. I also noticed a couple of errors in the ships.tbl file for the Arachnas concerning its score value and the viewing distance in the tech database.

I e-mailed you (along with Aldo and Bobboau) last night; did you get my e-mail? I can offer you the Phobos and Arachnas write-ups here or in your e-mail, so should I post it here on the HLP forums or give them to you via e-mail?

I tried e-mailing Bobboau but the addy he has attached to his posts here doesn't work anymore; does anyone know his current addy?

I e-mailed Aldo, but he hasn't replied yet. Maybe he'll reply here soo (I hope). I have a new write-up for the GTCa Warlock to give to him also.

Too bad about Robin not being here; I had a really good write-up for the GVI Hathor (or is it called the GVI Cairo?) to show him. I also found a new viewing distance to put in the ship.tbl file for the Hathor so that nothing of it is cut off when you look at it in the tech database.

Here's a list of MODs I've re-examined and have improvements/tweaks to offer:

GTCa Warlock by Aldo

GTI Scylla by Dark

GTI Acheron by Robin Varley

GVI Hathor by Bobboau

GTCv Phobos by Woomeister

SI Arachnas by Woomeister

I'd like to post them here, but I don't want to do that without the permission of the MODders, so I'll wait until I do.

Post the write ups here. When the campaign gets launched there won't be enough space in the ships table to put tech descriptions so its more for the people who have alreay downloaded it.

Double checked the Arachnas table, I forgot to change a few things from the old Knossos one, the table uses the "knossos" tag. This has no been fixed  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Oh and btw:
The GTI Scylla is a reskin by Snipes of the GVI Cheops by Dark

and Bobboaus station is the GVI Cairo

Bobboaus email is down, I tried a few weeks ago to contact him and the email was returned

OK, I'm going to start a new topic with the new write-ups I made for the MODs I checked. I'll post it in a few minutes.

So the GTI Scylla is a reskin by Snipes of the GVI Cheops by Dark, huh? I haven't seen the GVI Cheops yet. I think I'll look for it soon...

I like "Hathor" better than "Cairo" (when I DL'ed the MOD, it said "Hathor" in the name and description, not "Cairo") but it isn't my MOD, so I'll change the write-up back to Cairo.

OK, enough gabbing on my part. New post in 5 minutes!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
