Can we please save Setekh's old renders somewhere? Like the ones on This Random Place I Found On the Celebration Of FreeSpace Thread? (http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/staff/setekh/t-pride.jpg) How about replacing the whole "Array 3 is coming" on the Hard Light Array with some of Setekh's archived renders?
What do you think?
-
I wish they were up somewhere too.
-
Aren't they on Sectorgame? Or are the ones on Sectorgame made by someone else?
Though sectorgame doesn't work right now. I hope it fixes up.

Some of those are actually new to me, oddly enough, but I miss the Array with its backstory.
-

Some of them are by Setekh, but most of them are by other old farts who similarly disappeared.
-
Yes, I saw that pretty much
-
I always loved this:

the one in the first post is now the desktop for my account on the school comps. :D I put another Freespace image on it every monday. ;)

What was the story behind the atmospheric Deneb thing?
-
I got my mac revolving between them every 5 secs... Too bad for you guys that have a pc :P
-
Not too bad, you can do the same thing with Vista.
-
I liked The Man in the MiG for the story behind it, which annoys me so much that I can't SEE that anymore...
-

I'm almost positive you can find a utility that can allow you to do that for windows.
And since when are macs not PCs? So they're not "private" computers?
-
rhetoric, I don't have to answer :p

Apple themselves compare Macs to PCs, hence the "I'm a PC" "and I'm a mac" adverts. And it's Personal computer, not private.

Well, you see, you just accepted and confirmed the fact that Vista is a downgraded Mac OS X.

Hey, were can you get that bomber that's in the render linked to in the first post?
-
The one in Terran Pride? That's the Eris (Athena reskin) can be found on SG.
-
Arr, there's that render of the old Kronus.
I'ma release that tonight, particularly in hopes someone will make an HTL version of it.

Finally! I've been bugging you for ages for that!

You have? :confused:
Ah, well, I need to rewrite its tech description (it dates from 2002) and then I'll post it up on FSMods. :)
<MB>
-
Whoa. You guys are still talking about my work? I guess I just happened to turn up on the wrong day. ;)
Umm, yeah, http://staff.hard-light.net/setekh/ is probably the best mirror to go for (don't know how long that 3DAP one is going to hold up - amazed they still haven't gotten rid of our stuff on there). I would love to "restore" the Array some time - I'll see if I have some time to track down the backups.
-Setekh
-
:jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :eek: :eek2: :yes: Wow. Just... Wow. No smiley can describe this.
Pity they aren't more high-res, however. They must be made before the 1280*1024 era.
<FSFreak>

Cool, Setekh does occasionally check HLP...
-
[img][http://rapidshare.com/files/104684651/cernunnos.bmp.html/img] was this ship ever released.
-
Jesus Christ you hosted an IMAGE on RapidShare? It would have been a hundred times easier to host it on Imageshack, or even attach it.
Anyway, it's not a good ship at all since it's just a backwards Sekhmet with extra spikes.
-
So many ships from 1999 and 2000 were just stock FS2 models resized, reskinned, and with spikes or turrets added. I'm glad the community's modelers have moved on from that...

Those are great. :yes:
I've seen a lot of your stuff in various places, but I hadn't seen some of those.
@Mad Bomber
I totally agree, the only models that I downloaded in the old days were Dark's conversions.

Woomeister hasn't. :doubt:

If only I had the time now - I really felt I had a few good creative miles left in me, but I became waaaay too busy. That's all the more true now than ever, sadly.

I love this thing!
-
Why? It's a flipped Sekhmet! :rolleyes:
-
Maybe it is but I like it anyway
-
So if I enlarged the Nephthys and gave it 2 extra spikes at the sides you would say you liked it?
-
(http://staff.hard-light.net/setekh/cernunnos.jpg)
That doesn't look too bad, actually...
It says something about how desperate we are for Shivan ships.
-
I honestly do not see what you see in this ship. It's pug ugly. :doubt:
-
If you flip it around...it could pass as a bomber...
wait...if you do that...it's a reskinned Sekhmet. With extra spikes.
Hell, the tech description says the Sekhmet is based on a Shivan design...which means...yes. we must flip it around, shrink it, and turn it into the Shivan Bomber the Sekhmet is based off of!
-

All it needs is a face lift and it will look much better.
-
Well I would never use something like that if I was making a mod.

Who said you had to use it? :doubt:

It just needs a few more spikes nailed onto it.
-

I was just saying that using spliced ships like the Cernunnos and the Sechat-Thor in modern mods seems silly to me.

It already has like three-score of them. :P

I said, it shows how desperate we are for Shivan models. I spent the past two days fixing up the ol' INFR1 SD Kismat...now it actually looks good-ish, and can actually defend itself too. It had horrid turret placement before... (One side had half the turrets of the other and you had free range over the top and bottom surfaces)
-
Can we has special Kismat?
-
Anyone have that GTCv Neptune reskin? it's render of getting blasted by a shivan beam is near the top of the page.
-
(http://staff.hard-light.net/setekh/neptune-boom.jpg)
That?
looks like it has "capital7" written all over it.
however, I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere
--
All I did to the Kismat was add ~10 turrets :nervous:, add some (two) glow points and reskin it.
-
That would be in INFR1.
-
Oh...
I've only dug through the EA, Shivan/Ancient and Vasudan/SOC VPs...
Well, thanks. I'll see if I can find it.

I thought it was in the SOC pack.

That bomber already exists:

-
No, you'd get an ugly Sekhmet reskin, not a Nahema.
-
I was telling him that the Sekhmet's progenitor already exists and there is no need to make one.
-
[stupid question] Why is it that we're in need of good Shivan models? Are they that difficult to make or is it something else?[/stupid question]
-

I kinda meant that as a joke.

No idea, its just that there are a whole bucketload of Terran models in existence, a few Vasudan ones, and next to no Shivan ones.
-
In my experience, it's the other way around. A ton of Terran ships, many Shivan ships, and very few Vasudan ships. Without SA, there wouldn't be any Vasudan science ships or troop transports, for example.
-
Well we don't have any Shivan science ships or troop transports in the first place!

Cobra made the PVT Qeb, which is about the size of an Argo.

:wtf: If you're talking about this PVT Qeb (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,50502.msg1021557.html#msg1021557), it was made by Galemp.
-
Ah. On Hades Combine it lists author as Cobra, I guess he forgotted to change the author field.

I've managed to find a full, new, Vasudan fleet (StratComm's) - see "Some models that have dissapeared". (if we can contact him and get the files)
No such equivalent exists for the Shivans. In fact, IIRC, all new Shivan capital ships that exist are from INFSCP/INFR1, except for the SSJ Dante and SC Lamia. Well, at least the Shivans have got a few good fighters.

*agrees with Droid803*
-
I see that the famed HLP Power of Thread Derailment is still alive and kicking. ;)
-
:lol: Oh yes, that hasn't changed one bit ;)
-
i remember when i asked why that was, someone locked the thread 3 minutes later.
How many turrets does the qeb have? it looks like 3/ each side, and one on top
-
Four. Three on one side, and one on top.
-
Its got gaping blind spots then...two full sides.
Then again, most zod ships do have gaping blind spots.
