Chemus:

{EDIT PS warzog, did you catch the bit earlier that WAS pertinent to your mod?It was about the missile slots. You can use Hp_torpedo, Hp_torpedo_special1 and Hp_torpedo_special2 individually. That allows for Missiles and Leeches for li'l peeny light fighters, and tor all three for med+ ships. /EDIT}

Yeah, I tried it...
That was when I discovered that the mounts were bad on the Talon.

Eraser:
I'd love to make it into 1 large mod, but my DUN is twitchy at best.
I've had times when I can start a download, go to bed, and it's downloaded 18-30mb without a problem.
Other times, if I'm not browsing while it's up/downloading, I'll lose the connection.

Bob:
Someone just sent me the ms3d for the Tarsus, and said that the Galaxy will be ready in a few days.
So, who's gonna do the texture and add the hardpoints?
I don't know how!

Here's the best info I have:
http://www.wcnews.com/ships/p1tarsus.shtml

As far as I know, there isn't a texture for it, but that 2nd image Bob posted is the best I've seen.

It needs:
2 gun hardpoints
1 torpedo hardpoint
4 exhaust hardpoints
1 thruster hardpoint
1 sensor hardpoint
1 tractor beam hardpoint
1 engine hardpoint
1 generator hardpoint
etcetera hardpoints

HI everybody,

Just for everyones FYI, I finished a Salthi Light Fighter and A Hornet Light Fighter yesterday. Just waiting on it getting textured. If you'all want to use it, it's fine with me. I'll send the MS3d on request.

Later.

Oh, I liked the Tarsus, I keep it for as long as I could. It was a challenge. Wasn't so bad with a couple of tach guns mounted on it.

Maybe you should start a new production thread. This is getting too big. Stinger shut down one of mine threads when it reached 350 because it puts a strain on the server. But now they're on a new server so I don't know if it still applies. But it is really hard to keep track of what was said and where. You have a whole forum now, categorize your production it'll keep things simpler especially for those of us trying to keep up.

I think I have an idea to cut down on the rather lengthly credits: eliminate ship-by-ship credits and simply list all the modelers.

Also, Eder requested that

an idea concerning the big filesize in conjunction with you DUN users.

why not just upload the modified files instead of one big zipped file (i suppose youre currently doing so)?
you would only have to upload the files you have really altered to a directory, and someone with a faster connection would then make a complete mod of these files and upload it again (meh has 16kb/s upload, i suppose thats at least twice you have. and 16kb/s is not even much).

saves bandwith, time and nerves *g*

or, if you know how to handle it (i dont ), use a CVS system.
eg Concurrent Versions System or sourceforge

sp00n:
Privateer: The Reckoning Audio mod is 7.6mb zipped.
Privateer: The Reckoning Voice mod version I have is 1mb zipped.
Privateer: The Reckoning mod is currently 8.9mb zipped.
A Privateer's Privateer mod is 7.3mb zipped.

Combined:
Privateer: The Reckoning mod would be 17.5mb zipped.
A Privateer's Privateer mod would be 15.9mb zipped.

And the Gemini Sector looks like it's going to add another mb zipped.
And I expect the final Voice mod to add another 4-7mb zipped.
The Tarsus, Orion, Galaxy, and Concordia will add another 1.5mb zipped.
Which will bring the totals to between 18.4mb and 27mb zipped.

Your idea sounds good, but I don't have a place to do it.

I got 'em, I think.
Go two Talon zip files, anyway.
Haven't checked them out, yet.

pSYCHO:
I just ran a test on the Talon's...
The hardpoints are dead-on perfect!
I can't say anything about the size, or the textures, because they're all invisible!
Other than that, not to shabby.
