STNG Ship Set Available.

Just so you know...

I know you probably don't want to go though another labor of love porting a mod that seems MUCH harder to create than in SE4 but I think ST is one of those mods that an entire community would be willing to pitch in for... I have very little modding experience but I am about to take some time and crack apart the AI files and design, so hopefully in a week or so I could try to help out with some ST AI files if you manage to come around to spearhead another effort...

That said, I (along with probably most people here) would totally understand if you just said the hell with it. But I hope you don't.

Also, a little off topic (it's late and I'm sleepy) but I was looking at Atrocities' post count and did some math - talk about records that will never be broken! Basically:

Mathematically, he has posted almost 7 times PER DAY FOR OVER SIX YEARS.

Wow.

Here's to you, sir. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon48.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon48.gif[/img]

If At ever needed any help building the files I would certainly be there.

Fyron has me beat by over 3,000 posts and he started a year late.

And 99% of his posts are on topic, informative, and generally lack any BS. You take away all of my OT posts and my BS/hissyFit posts, and I would be about 5,000 posts or so.

The first step toward creating a Star Trek Mod is under way. We have to have ships.

I am working on the Klingons now. I just finished up the Flags, and all other images, say for the ships. I am using some of the models from one of the other races to save save on work. No sense in rebuilding things if you don't have too. I just hope they work right.

I have the ships all picked out and just finished porting the Cruiser and setting it up for SE V.

After all the models are made, I then need to make the 512x512 and 128x128 portraits, easy, then set up the ship list thing, (42x42 I think). From their I have to make the TOP down views for the slots, that might be a PITA, but I will try.

Once all the images are in place I can load the empire and start the sizing, placement process. Then the slots, and tweaking come into play.

I hope to have them ready by the end of the weekend if nothing goes wrong.

Thanks PES for offering to help, you can bet you will be the first person I send this set too.

Thanks again for the slot layout help with the TNG set. How do you like the replacement race portrait?

The replacement pic is nice, very cool! I shouldn't have doubted you about a replacement for Picard. I should have known you wouldn't have replaced him unless you had something better. I will be more than happy to help with the slots or anything else that I can, you should have my email so just send it over to me.

Changing gears... Nothing wrong with BS and piss fit posts. It just makes you more human, it lets the community see who you are and how you feel. Frankly I wouldn't consider you such a dear friend or have such deep respect for you if all your posts were limited to dry facts. No offense Fyron, I understand dry is who you are.

Just to let you know AT, the latest version of the Federation shipset seems to be missing boxes for Weapon Platforms

Mmm, let me see my notes... yep everything is crossed off except "wp". So the only one I didn't do slots for are warp points. Ahh... weapon platform!

Here is the corrected version, download, install, and enjoy!

Pfft, IRC is better for dicking around. AT's 99% estimate is a little on the high side though...

President_Elect_Shang · #10 January 27th, 2007, 06:39 PM

@At: I got it, sorry about that you can use this one or replace it with your own. I will admit it is a little heavy on the armor per layer side. I have always felt that weapon platforms should always be armor heavy, you know like dug into the earth heavy.

@Fyron: But I tried IRC. People there talk for like five minutes then everything goes quite. Anyway about At's estimate I think he was rounding off. You know 99% instead of 98.9% which is probably a hell of a lot closer to your true on topic average. And hay, what's 0.1% percent amongst friends right?
