Boy... Thick, heavy construction like that makes you think it's a battleship gun. This might be more suitable to replace the DUC than to represent a laser.

Yeah, the texture might be improved but the design is not 'futuristic' at all. Look at the default DUC image again. It's got quite a bit of color and detail. I sort of like default image #78 for a laser but I've already used it for something else...

I guess I'm looking for a 'Lost in Space' sort of laser. Just a few of those 'flanges' instead of many, and mostly silvery colored.

Man, I should really learn how to use Blender -- I can think of wonderful shapes and textures, but have absolutely no knowledge of any way to put them into a 3D model. ;-)

Here's another torpedo firing bitmap... it's the Legendary Spazer (three purple energy bolts) - borrowed it from Megaman 21XX (great fangame by the way! check it out at www.stroutsink.com). SJ pointed out that Geocities doesn't allow remote linking, so just paste the URL into your browser:

If Geocities is that tight-assed I'll not grace them with a hit. I've already got filters to block out the pop-ups embedded in their pages when I have an important enough reason to visit a page there. Find another site if you want to show people your new torp designs.

Geocities recently blocked offsite linking for most files, and blocked FTP programs.

I recommend prohosting to everyone.

I hate all those so called free hosts out there and their ads. That's why I decided to use my ISPs space...I get 10Mb plus 300Mb bandwidth - no ads and a relatively simple address. Throw in the fact that you get 7 e-mail accounts each with a corresponding 10Mb webspace...it's not bad at all.

Geocities has blocked off-site images since the beginning of time, AFAIK. I have no reason to believe they weren't blocking everything except .HTML links since the start either.

It's just the way it is. Web-accessable disk space at the cost of no direct links, silly ads, and $0 for the poster. Take it or leave it.

I fail to see the problem with the way they operate. It's not like the ads are self-replicating popup/unders. The ones I've seen (on my own Geocities site) aren't flashy, seisure-inducing annoyances, and even have a minimize/close button that actually closes the thing!

PS: pasting the url into your browser is the same as clicking it. You need to go to your geocities site, and then paste the link.
Or, just make a simple 1 kb HTML page which displays the images, and link to the HTML page.
Or, upload the images to shrapnel, seing as they are on topic here.

There is a new patch for the PlanetPack available!
only 180kb, there were a few images from 622 to 630 that were off by one.
