All DOTA civy stuff will soon be public and put for download.

The Civilian Station (still unnamed) will be the first and the Majestic megaliner.
We allso have other liners, freighters and security forces...alltough they're still not done, but as soon as they are they'll be put for download

[FreeTerran]

Yep right i hope you like all the stuff, and we need an host with forum for our projekt anyone with ideas ?

[Setekh]

Well, uhhh, HLP won't be offering that kind of hosting for a while, methinks - you could head for NW.

[Knight Templar]

Err.. Cool.

And Setekh, really, I know we're all supposed to be anti-new / not-as-cool-as-other-projects people, but why can't we just host forums here, as opposed to full hosting?

yep right i have enough webspace but not an forum and DOTA is big and this is sh*t to talk with all staffers over mail or IM the best will be an forum here with internal

[TrashMan]

1. We're not a "new" mod...we've been around for a Year or so... We have tried to get hosted before but something allways came up and we were told to wait a bit.... then to wait a bit more...and now this....ugh...

2. Whitelight, how's it going with the station? Send it to me as soon as you're finished!

3. Here are pics of the two civy things I'm making right now. Suggestions are welcomed!

* the medium Liner:


 


*and the Security fighter:


EDIT: PICS UPDATED!

[Unknown Target]

Too boxy. Slant some sides and stuff, make it more "flowing"

[TrashMan]

I just begun to work on them 1 hour ago!
Didn't you notice the polycount? I was more refering to the design.

I wanted the medium liner to look a bit like todays modern superliners.
The Security Fighter is supposed to be a civy perseus derivate.

[Knight Templar]

Well the design of the liner looks a lot like a... liner.. ala water. Don't know if that's what you want..

And by new, you guys are new compared to other campaigns that are already hosted (or not hosted) here.

[Unknown Target]

The liner looks too....watery. Make the bottom a different shape than current ocean lineres, like add engine pylons, etc.

And remember, we have T&L now!!!

With all due respect, I empathise with your present troubles, but as I've said before: virtually regardless of what has come before when I was absent, this is the way things will run in the future. Realise that things must not only be done according to the rules, but they must be seen as done according to the rules - having a new hosted project such as yours, an incomplete campaign (longstanding as it is), would be a bit of a shock to anyone who has read and understands our hosting policy. Even if that is unimportant - for what reason do you need a forum? Really, I would prefer that you diverted all your attention to the completion of the campaign itself than to posting in your new forum.

[Knight Templar]

I hate to nitpick against you Setekh, but uh, with what your saying, why does any campaign have a forum?

Of course, I know the answer to that, so I'll answer it. Forums let you publicise and generally communitize your campaign. They also provide a spot, as FT said, for discussing stuff that would otherwise be a hassle to discuss over IM or email with a staff.

That having been said, as I've stated before, most campaigns can do fine with their own webhosting, what with swooh, VW, F2S, and whatever else being offered, but it's the forums that really 'communitize' the campaign.

I totally agree with not hosting other campaigns. HLP is simply too big. That's fine. But what's wrong with hosting new forums to include other projects in the community? AFAIk they don't take up that much space.

 Is there something we're missing here?

Dude we need an internal forum to discuss the stuff what everyone in the staff do and other problems

EDIT: Don't forgot what the admins have told us we will get hosted after the new website is done and now ? they came with an f*cking hosting police

[kasperl]

the fact that each new camp drains the modder pool more and more.

yes: that they've decided already and you're wasting their time by arguing whenever it is possible about something that won't change

So go to EZ Board and get one! I know that it's nowhere near as good as VBulletin but it's free and it does what you need it to do.

MG spent about 6 months or so using that system for communication. Sure we were happy to be hosted here but if we'd been rejected we could have carried on with that.


BTW has anyone here tried getting hosted on FreespaceWatch instead?

[Whitelight]

Oops, didn`t see this new thread untill now..

Trashman, I recieved your e-mail for the civiy station, but the pof wasen`t there, if its not to much trouble could you send it again..

Oh and i`ll need a few textures that I don`t have for the GalaxyCarrier listed below.

Behemoth0.pcx
gtshiplightsinvert.pcx

I replaced these textures so I could render the model in Fred2, and for some reason it removed all path data from the turrets and subsystems..
