Title: new ships=kewl beans
Post by: Si|eNt(\/)inion on April 18, 2002, 06:55:07 pm: hey woo, nice ships. im about to start experimenting with them. hopefully i can fit some into my campaign. i currently have 44 new ships and i dont know where else i can fit any more. but i will start looking around....i know i am overloading you already with this....because i did it a lot before (because i like the ancients), but are ya gonna release anything new ancients-wise...you said a beta pack was coming out with the old ancients models that you were gonna redo, but i dont seem to see them anywhere. dont mind me though. doesnt matter with this many new ships to play around with. have fun! THANKX!:nod: :nod:

Post by: Woomeister on April 19, 2002, 06:31:28 am: Like with the EA Carrier, the ancients VP file will include the new ships and the old incomplete ones.

Currently I'm waiting for the Phylaki, A new destroyer model, and 1 new cruiser design is needed to complete their vp file.

Currently the EA, Shivan, Vasudan, Maps, Hi Res Maps and Music are the VPs we have ready right now.

Post by: Woomeister on April 19, 2002, 05:57:10 pm: The exe file is 980k, that will fit on a floppy...

For larger ones use winzip or winrar to span it across a few disks.

The exe itself is a self extracting rar file.

The current VP files are 45mb and there's still lots more of them to be done.

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 21, 2002, 09:59:50 am: Where's that jaw drop smiley when I need it..... That'll be around 25 mb compressed! The current SHaS build is only clocking in at 1 MB compressed (of course, it assumes you have the FS port which is 10 MB uncompressed). Admittedly you have many more mods, but...

Post by: Woomeister on April 21, 2002, 05:36:42 pm: I have another 65mb of files to sort through, then there's the cb animations that aren't done yet...

Post by: Si|eNt(\/)inion on April 22, 2002, 03:46:03 pm: kewl beans= that's a lot of stuff....:nod: :nod: when can we expect all of this to come out? you guys are like making your own game and a 56k download would take like two days...hope you burn this onto a cd or something. i dont think i could make a download this big. hope its on cd. anyhow...what about those ancients?
Title: new ships=kewl beans
Post by: Woomeister on April 22, 2002, 04:20:45 pm: There will be no more downloads avaliable untill the campaign is completed. Since we have no artists to do the art the campaign can't be completed.

The campaign is now fully on hold untill I return to take over it fully on May 28th.

Umm well that's......uuh what's that word again? Ah yes it's BIG. Anyway, as Yoda says, size matters not. ;)
Title: new ships=kewl beans
Post by: Woomeister on May 24, 2002, 03:38:42 am: The average size of the VP files compressed is 2-4mb with only a few being larger than that. So no problems for me uploading it on my 56k modem :D

Post by: Razor on June 03, 2002, 04:30:42 pm: No problems for me downloading it either. :D ;)

big? the current OTT folder is, for now, of 144 mb... and it will grow much larger :) For slow connection people, tho, there will be a version w/o musics and with single frame ani :)

Title: new ships=kewl beans
Post by: Woomeister on June 04, 2002, 01:44:39 pm: Next Inferno stat:

We have 39 fighters/bombers in our table.

3 of which are from FS2
2 of which are from FS1
34 are new models

Out of the 34 new:
14 are Aldos models (some from modeldump mapped by me and Venom)
9 are Venoms
1 is mine
10 are made by other people

24/39 are flyable at some point

These stats should be pretty accurate...
