Title: GTF Icarus Update from End War... anyone have it?
Post by: Black Wolf on May 24, 2013, 01:10:23 am
Link for pictures (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=25406.msg1446872#msg1446872)

Exactly as the topic says - this was made and, AFAIK, never released. I've PMed ShadowGorrath, but his account's been untouched since March 2012, so I'm not expecting much there. Does anyone know whether End War released its assets (or was ever officially cancelled) or anything like that? It's a rather pretty ship, is all, and even more so with those updates.

Cheers blokes.

Can't say I've seen that version of the Icarus before. Which is saying something, given how much I try to add to my hoard of ship models...

It's probably still on ShadowGorrath's HD like all EW stuff, but of course, he won't release anything even if his project is dead. Hah! Irony... They made a lot of stuff mostly via requests and than they disappeared from the whole community and pissed off everything without releasing a single model or something.

This is why asset exclusivity is evul.

Eeeeeevuuuuuul.

Pretty sure that's just a straight re-texture of the regular Icarus. I had it at one point (along with most of EW), but I don't anymore since my HDD crashed and died, then my backup decided it would be a good time to follow suit.

EW has a grand total of one exclusive asset that hasn't been released.
Everything else is just taken from various modeldumps. I've already released most of it (see first post of http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=68802)

What remains is a few retextures, some interface things, and the aforementioned one ship (a Terran Super-destroyer sized ship), which probably needs all its turrets renamed to actually work.

IIRC the mod was never officially cancelled, just put on indefinite hold. Nonetheless, I'm the one who updated the model, so I'd say I have the right to release it. So, grab the attachment while it's hot!

The model is licensed CC-BY-SA, unless Aldo (creator of the original model) objects. For normal, glow and spec maps you may assume the WTFPL, unless ShadowGorrath objects (he made them). Either way, the model was unwrapped onto the original texture, so you can always revert to that one if needed. Oh, and the cockpit was made by Vasudan Admiral for the MediaVPs.

Pretty sure that's just a straight re-texture of the regular Icarus.
Nope, the model has been edited alright. I added the cockpit and made a few extrusions here and there. It was one of my first modelling jobs though, so the difference ain't that large - you're forgiven for not spotting it :P

Oh, it was updated...shows how much I remember, haha.
Thanks for putting it up, FSF.

And HLP continues to be awesome. :D I love that so very little is ever truly lost here - and that people tend to be pretty open to sharing and caring.

Thanks FSF, I'll get this onto the wiki... well, probably tomorrow as it's 3 AM almost, but soon! Plus I have additional plans which this fits very nicely into. :)

1,5k polys... Of pure awesomeness :yes:

BTW. Is there anyone who has any news about that terran superdestroyer? It was pretty cool as I remember. PeterV made it. It would be a shame, to waste her on ShadowGorrath's HD.

I have it but I'm not in a position to release it. You'd have to ask PeterV.

He seems to disappear long time ago and he is probably unreachable, but I will try. It would be cool to fix all the errors and release it.

I still have Shadow's skype address, if you lot want me to tell him something just give me a sign.

Than just ask him about the model... Or the status of the whole EW. I've already sent email to PeterV, but I don't think he will respond.

:bump:

Not needed. I've already contacted PeterV and he will send me the model. When I fix it, I will release it.
