I managed to DL that thing. It's a .PLY file, I don't know what it is.

Don't ask why everyone is posting in colors....it tends to get the thread locked

Mobius is posting in red because Snail made fun of the Ferrari. I was posting in blue to protest against Mobius' actions, but now I'm just posting in pink in the memory of Hideto Matsumoto. Lenard... well, I guess he's just going with the flow.

THEN STOP IT.
I'll stop whenever they stop. Touché.

Seriously guys. Stop with the spam.

Indeed. I'll be the first to stop this nonsense.

But seriously. cole. What was the point of this thread? That title indicates that you've released a finished high poly Dragon that we could just throw into the mediavps folder and then enjoy it in-game. But no. You had to just give us some ply file. What, you want someone else to finish this? Great. Then this should've gone to the modding section.

Believe me, it shouldn't. :p

It's false. I post in Red because of Kimi Raikkonen!

THEN STOP IT.

Why would I stop? Talking about colors is spam, and there's nothing bad in coloured posts. Manqué! :P

And this is the FreeSpace General Discussion board. An high poly Dragon should be in FreeSpace Modding or a board related to the SCP.

The file is big. It's a .PLY, something I've never heard of. The whole thing sounds like a joke.

Read my post link above... or perhaps search
for "PLY file format" and folks would discover what PLY is used by and
with what tools you can convert it over.

It's used by universities, and is a model format.

Last time I'm saying that.

Enough. I'm with kara on this case. The explanation for the use of coloured posts has been discussed for, what, three times already. Kimi is a funny man and even though I dislike F1, I appreciate Kimi since we both originate from the same country.

But don't you start explaining how talking about colors is spam, since that's what you're doing right now.

That's what I said, but Vasudan Admiral terminated my idea. Which leads to the conclusion that, if there's a right place for this topic, it's The FreeSpace Upgrade Project board.

Has anyone tried opening that link in Mozilla FireFox?  It's a bunch of numerical values... I find it interesting to note that it's not a bunch of gibberish, like most accidentally opened codes are.

Don't ask about the color.  Asking about it = spam.  Using it = decoration or preference.  Curious about my choice?  PM me.  So shuddup about colors in-thread.  :p

I don't think this is going anywhere.
