Get it while it's hot:D

I tweaked it a little and finished it (5lods, debris, paths, docks, nameplate...)
The only thing that bugs me is that LOD 2 only has the turret sbases so it might look a bit odd... I do have a version with multi-part turrets on LOD 2, but when importing turret data, PCS screwed thing totaly up, so I'll have to manually set up all 80 or so turrets again...Ugh...

I would give screenies, but something is terribly screwy with my FS2, as every FS2 and FRED2 build I tried chrashes (and I didn't even change anything...strange...)

[Roanoke]

80 turrets ? isn't that overkill ?

[TrashMan]

8 Heavy Main batteries, 4 Heavy Beam cannons, 1 Meson missile Launcher + 62 terran tueert/flak/AAAf...

Nope.. I don't think it is...remeber, the thing only carries 2 squards of light fighters.


EDIT: Crap...crap...crap..can't install FS2 again.. guess all my models and my campaign are going in the freezer.

[Woolie Wool]

Why? You can always install the HOTU version and copy over your VP files.

[TrashMan]

Eh? The what?

[karajorma]

Back up your Vp files. Install HotU and then copy the VP files back over.  

Since you're not using the install program on the FS2 CD you might manage to get around the problem you've been having.

[TrashMan]

ERm.. I have FS2 on CDs... and a 56k connection.....

I didn't put anything I made into VP's, but I have backed up all the thig I made (maps, models, effects, tables, squad insignias, interfeca, missions)..

however,  deinstalled Fs2 (read: deleted the foldr and removed any registry keys)
I can't start the installer...some wierd bug.. my fried told me to re-install windows, so I'll guess I'll have ot do that...bummer

[TrashMan]

So..... Anyone tried it yet? Any comments on it?

[pyro-manic]

Umm, might be an idea for you to post it first

[mitac]

Indeed.

For a start, it's here.

[Rson]

screenies?

[pyro-manic]

Aha. Cheers mitac

TM: Nice model. Not tested it or anything, but it looks good from modelview.

Basically the suggestion was to download HotU and install using that instead of the FS2 CDs. If you don't have broadband then it's probably easier just to reinstall windows.

You could try making the intaller run in compatibility mode though. You'd need to extract it from the CD to do that of course.

You may also try googling the windows component that's giving the error (and it should tell you).  You can find legit sites that offer most of the core windows components for download in the event that something gets corrupted.

Notice that >>My Stuff<< link in my siggy?

How else could I even ask for an oppinion.

Aheh..as I was saying...approx 8000 polys, 5 LOD's, 74 turrets.
Has two dock point (pathed), 2 hangarbays (pathed with 2 paths each), exchangable nameplate and comes with several new weapons.

Like I said, i can't post screenies, since I don't have FS2 on my HDD anymore (untill I format & re-install)

The only thing that surprises me is how little interest people are showing for it after the "ah.. ohh, drool over screenies phase"..

B.T.W. - are there any tangable criteria for getting into the highlights? I don't want to sound like a primadonna or something, but I've been here for....what?...3-4 years?... God! I don't know..  (this place really holds your soul :devil: ) and despite all the models I pumped out I never got there... (and I've seen 3 mission campaigns there)

Oh well...guees  I have to work harder.... (thinks of making a  1000000 poly uber-ship, 100km long with 200 uber-beam turrets that can shoot at bombs, fighters and caps)

Mind if I change the name for my campaign, I already have an ArchAngel and it is vitally important for my campaign.

[TrashMan]

You mean the one with the bigass cannon?

[StratComm]

I'd assume he means mine, since it's been the only Archangel in circulation for some time around here.

[Grimloq]

8000 polys?!!?! you heartless bastard! LOOK what you've done to my poor computer! it's gonna die! GAH!

actually, i'm afraid i'm not impressed... generic ubership...

[Kie99]

Yes, yours StratComm the Bigass cannon is key to the blockade of the Cape...
Ack! I've said to much.
