open up your primitives, make a box, make another box (name it turret01), slap it on as a child. Save the model, then run it through a cob -> pof converter (kazan made one), open it (the pof) with MODELVIEW32 (decent-network), stick a firing point on that new subobject. Make a new table entry by copying an old cruiser, replace the pof name of the cruiser with your pof (dump the pof in /data/models), and take off all the turrets except one. Give it a ULTRA Anti-Fighter Beam, throw it in a mission, beam-free-all it, and get destroyed by your own ****ty creation.
~time to make: 5 minutes.

Course there is. I, for example, am/was/will-be an experience Newbie (note the captial N). You see, according to Jabu, there are new people (newbies/neophytes) and then there are retards (Newbies/n00bs/trolls).
I'm scared. I keep seeing like a fly or something woosh past my eyes but I'm note sure it's real.
-
Neophytes? :wtf:
But well, n00b can be just a new one, not a Newbie. And I think that's only Jabu who has said it. :D
But I think an0n isn't Newbie, as it's not the same thing as troll, completely. I think an0n is just a troll.
:DJ/K:D

if someone is good at being a newbie, doesnt that make them an experienced newbie? :headz:
-
so his name: experiencedn00b means he's an experienced retard? :p [j/k]
BTW, expn00b. I consider myself a newbie basher when they ask stupid questions. You have been warned :nod: :D :p
-
UT, look at the button to the right of yer 0 button. Now press that button. Tada!
-
an0n's worse than me, BTW.
It's to the right not bottom right, Dr. Evil :p

-
Well, you have to get this magic pixie dust from Volition, and a shriveled weasel foot from Interplay...:D:p

DO THE WALKTHROUGH!! :mad::mad::mad::mad: What did I think when I thought that HLP was free of newbies who don't know how to free beams?! :mad::mad:
:p
Oh and I used to be newbie basher too... on the VBB, though I stopped bashing them at there too.

that should be easy to get the foot, just chop it off one of the staff. (wait, did you say foot or penis?)

If you want something that can fix all of your MODding problems (no FRED-related topics), visit my topic "POST MODding Manual" and download the manual. It's on sticky at the top of the thread list.
