Bobboau and Woomeister, I GOT GOOD NEWS! CP6570 and I have just made new briefing icons for the SI Arachnas and the GVI Cairo installations!

I'm going to make a revised zipfile containing the new ani files CP made for the icons. a new icon.tbl file is also required in the zipfile, so once I get everything straight, I'm going to send out the new zipfiles to HLP, the Freespace 2 Sector and Volitionwatch Archives (and maybe the Reciprocity and Incidental Warfare campaign designers as well) so the download sites can be updated.

CP is also working on creating briefing icons for the GTI Acheron and the GTI Scylla/GVI Cheops installations as well. (I'm wondering how necessary a GTCa Warlock icon would be.) Once I get those two files, I'll organize everything and send them all out.

E-mails were just sent to appropriate parties about the impending MOD updates.

Stay tuned.

Scylla/Cheops icon has to be redone, but aside from that, the re-issue of the above MODs is proceeding according to plan. (I also added the GTCv Nike to the list of re-issue MODs. God, that ship is SWEET!) The MODs should be ready to send out in a couple of days.

Could you post up and/or e-mail me the icons for the Cairo and Arachnas, Su-tehp?  I can just add them in myself.
Sesqu... Sesqui... what?

Sesquipedalian, I changed several things around besides just the tech database write-up and adding briefing icons.

I've made a couple of additional modifications to the SI Arachnas MOD. Not to the model itself, of course, but I tweaked the ship data involving the tech database viewscreen (the Arachnas looked far too small originally) and I also WAY upped the explosion damage as well. If you're flying right next to a Shivan installation that has the same amount of hitpoints as a Sathanas juggernaut, the explosion should be as powerful as a juggernaut blowing up. When I first used this MOD in game, I was expecting to die when I was flying right next to the Arachnas as it blew up, but the explosion didn't even knock my ship around. I HAD to change that.

The revised Arachanas now has the same explosion data as the Sathanas.

Woomeister, I know I made these changes without your permission and I apologize. I truly thought these changes were warranted in order to make the Arachnas an exceptional MOD, rather than a good but flawed one. (The smallness of the tech database view and the lack of a powerful explosion were things that could afford to be tweaked, iin my opinion.)

Woomeister, let me know if you want these changes to go forward with my re-issue. If you like, I'll e-mail you a copy of the revised Arachnas MOD before I send it out for distribution. That way, you can examine it for yourself and let me know if you're satisfied with it.

Come to think of it, I'll notify all the above MODders by e-mail, letting them know I'm almost done with this project. The Arachnas is the only MOD I tweaked with the ship data; the others just have new tech descriptions.

Sesquipedalian, let me settle this with Woomeister; once we come to an agreement, I'll send you the MOD zipfile (icons and all) in its entirety.

Fair enough, Su-tehp.  I eagerly await them.
