Where do I get his tweaked fenris?
I've searched for it, but no dice.....

Here's the thread where he released it:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,35384.0.html

Also in there is his HTL Triton, and the HTL Aeolus that I started, he finished.

OMG, What did I do wrong?!
I put the textures in the maps folder, the .pofs in the models folder,
and used POFCS to direct the model to use the correct textures......
Not sure why I had to do the last part, but.....
When I just plop them into the directories without any unessential editing.....

Well.... you get the idea.
HELP?! :sigh:

Errr... I don't have a clue what's going on there... :nervous:  Let me check the versions on my HD...

Hmmm, this is odd...

Doesn't show up in the techroom (nothing new here, more than half the ships in my tbls ever do, even with the 'in tech database' flag), but they do work in game...

...But it appears that there is something screwy woth LOD1.  LOD0, 2 and 3 and the debris works fine, as do the new bits I bit on (such as a remapped radar dish).  It's just that first LOD. :wtf:

Oh, and I found that my ship tbl entry was slightly wrong  :mad:  I'll update that if I manage to fix this bug.

Thanks for taking the time to fix this. :)

Question, how would you shoot down plasma? Wouldn't most weapons pass through it or get destroyed while it may still has enough energy/momemtum to get to the target? (not as up on my plasma as I should be..)
You would have to use another plasma cannon to shoot it down, most likely with a some what larger one. (At least thats what they used in another scify story and that sounds cuite right to me :nervous:)

EDIT: didn't notice there were so many post after Getter's, so it looked kind of out of place, sorry.

Nah, its the right thread. It's a reply to GRG's post on Page 4.

It’s way off topic though which is getting pretty common on threads around here. :p  Anyway since someone brought up the part about missiles I think I will elaborate on part of what I am thinking for this project.

I am creating what I call a “technological divide” between the fs1 and fs2 ships. The FS1 ships heavily use missile weapons while the FS2 era ships rely more on beam cannons. This will give “the feeling” of the fs1 era ships being old and becoming obsolete while still being quite effective in missions.

if there is any consistancy with the Shivans, it's their lack of consistancy - -Norbert-

Okay, I think I've fixed the bug.  Forget to include the LOD1 texture (and I had somehow lost it from my own maps folder... :nervous: )

The new file has the same name as the old one.  Use old link.  'Should' work now.  Also tbl entries updated.

That's my exact problem. That's why I asked you to upload your textures.

EDIT: I'll try the new version out as time permits.

Don't bother, it ain't workin'.
All the files are the same as the old ones, and I didn't see those new maps you were talking about, Raptor.
Maybe you should re-host/post it?

Wait..... maybe you used the MediaVPs Fenris/Levy textures?
That has to be the only explaination, because VA's textures don't work, and those are the only other textures I can think of.

Raptor, can't you post them on geocities or something? Or try to get special permission from the dudes at Hades Combine?

 :mad: :hopping:

Now I'm getting pissed off!

I tried to replace the file on Hades Combine, but it didn't do it.  Clearly it didn't before...

So I figured that it would be easier to simply remove the download and start afresh.  The link will be removed.

However, I keep getting an error when I submit! :hopping:  I'm pretty sure it's a combination of file size and my network connection (wireless).

I'll try again later, when I'm on the core computer (with the direct connection to the web).

I've never tried Geocites since I've heard rumours about them being... unreliable.  Besides, I expect they'd want money... something I'm a little short of ATM.

Har-D, to add new turrets to a ship, you would need to export the ship into Truespace (via PCS), add the new turrets there, then reconvert back into a pof.  After that, adding entries in the tbl file is easy.

You should try Rapidshare.
They host your file as long as it gets downloaded, so I should think it'll be online for a looooooong time ;)
