Might be cos you've got comma's instead of full stops before the 'jpg' bit.

Nice ship btw

Other than the font used for the registry, the textures look fantastic...but you might want to try another font

Nice job on the kitbash though..

I got a nitpick only cause it looks nice. You might want to sample the saucer from Lord Shctupp's textures to match the part you added that the struts are resting on. Actually I can tell you its red 221 green 221 and blue 225.

Or not modelers preference.

Marauth · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2004, 04:36:25 am »

2 Minor nitpicks on this Larson, the aft hull should be flat - i.e. perpendicular to the length of the nacelle, rather than pointed like the Kyiv (I changed the name in an update) and you should probably use the centre nacelle from LS's Federation class dreadnought which has the blue grille on the upper side of the nacelle.

Oh you might wanna edit the credits - I never made any of that mesh there, I altered the Kyiv to have better warp nacelles but since they're gone that is all Lord Schtupp and Pneumonic81

P.S. you got permission to release, just use my new name on the AKA bit.

look forward to d/ling this beauty

P.P.S actually on second thought I think the hull looks better with the pointed arse.

Wolfsglen · « **Reply #9 on:** March 23, 2004, 08:53:22 am »

Hehe thank you guys, points noted. Im still learning as i go along and this is just a WIP, so gives me something more to try out

I wasnt happy with that font myself, glad to know im not the only one as it was bugging me too.

Thank you for the permission and info Marauth, most kind sir, i'll get em updated before i release. I may go ahead and release this one "as is" once ive changed the fonts, as it will take me ages to make the other suggested model changes (still a Max newbie)

Appreciate the comments all

PS: Any tips for fonts to use? Im having difficulty locating a good TOS/registry style font.

Lord Schtupp · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:08:12 am »

Yessir that looks real good

atheorhaven · « **Reply #11 on:** March 23, 2004, 11:47:05 am »

He's alive! He's alive!

We were all wondering what happened to you LS.

Wolfsglen · « **Reply #12 on:** March 24, 2004, 07:13:10 pm »

If anyone is interested, im going to be releasing this tomorrow with updated full credits. Anyone is very welcome to improve the textures and registry fonts (in fact i really hope someone does) as texture work is definitely my weak point at the moment.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #13 on:** March 24, 2004, 08:59:55 pm »

Heck ya I'm interested.Thank you sir

Wolfsglen · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2004, 09:56:04 am »

Yer very welcome, i will work on it more with the suggestions you guys gave above at some time in the future, but thought i would put it out "as is" so others can work the textures/fonts if need be.

Sounds good to me.. I have a good commercial font here that I use, so once it's out, I can re-release it for you once I color match it the textures and re-font the registry for you.

It'll still be your work, these'll just be minor touchups..

Wolfsglen · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2004, 02:21:59 pm »

Thank you Atheorhaven, that would be much appreciated! I will update the credits in the .txt file with your name when you have made any changes, please add your name to it as well if you re-upload someplace, i want everyone to get the credit they deserve.

Download link is in the first post

Thanks again for the kind comments gents.

atheorhaven · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2004, 02:52:21 pm »

Alrighty... I'll download it tonight if I can.. been unable to get to Taldren for a day and a half...

atheorhaven · « **Reply #19 on:** March 27, 2004, 02:33:16 am »

Okay, had a little time tonight to look at the mesh and play with it a bit.

Fixed the registry font, and also cleaned up the mesh a bit for you. Removed the spare set of impulse engines for you, and fixed the lower hull marker lights so they matched the top set (colored). And also fixed the smoothing issue on the pylons and color matched the pylon textures better for you too. I think I'm going to redo the upper and bottom set of saucer textures though because they set I used don't quite match the set that you used, so I'll just mod the set you have.

But I have pics at any rate of the changes..

Like I said, I'm going to re-modify the saucer textures.. but this is mostly done.

Dizzy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 27, 2004, 02:41:05 am »

You're going to remodify the textures on THIS larson and then release it? There is a D/L link on the 1st post. Do I d/l that or wait?

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #21 on:** March 27, 2004, 02:41:36 am »

Very nice work sir !

atheorhaven · « **Reply #24 on:** March 27, 2004, 11:50:51 am »

See my just previous post Dizzy..

D/L the one above and play with it, and then download the one that I am tweaking in a couple of days, play with both, see which you like, and use that.

Never too many models.. (grin)

Mariner · « **Reply #25 on:** March 27, 2004, 05:06:08 pm »

Wolfsgen thanks you for fixing his model. He' say this himself except that he can't get onto the forums right now.

Course you probably guessed that.

atheorhaven · « **Reply #26 on:** March 27, 2004, 10:57:28 pm »

np... I'm certain that there are lots and lots of people wanting this one, and it looked great from the start.. I only tweaked it.

New pics (ingame pics too)..

And while I was at it, I converted it to SFC 1 as well for the SFC 1 players. Also Wolfsgen, if I can have your permission to do so, I'd like to send a version over to Nannerslug for the "G@W" mod if he's interested. This'd be perfect for the mod..

And lastly, d/l links..

SFC 1
http://www.the-tcs.net/_hosted/atheorhaven/html/userfiles/ships/trek/sfc1/TOS_Larson_sfc1.zip

SFC 2
http://www.the-tcs.net/_hosted/atheorhaven/html/userfiles/ships/trek/sfc2/TOS_Larson_sfc2.zip

So there you go.. all fixed.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #27 on:** March 28, 2004, 07:26:25 am »

Thank you sir ,am D/L'ing now

Marauth · « **Reply #28 on:** March 28, 2004, 07:30:41 am »

it's looking very cool but those running lights are still wrong - the top ones were coloured, the bottom ones were white.

I'm guessing I was confusing when I said the bottom lights were white - my bad there.

LOL.

Wolfsglen · « **Reply #29 on:** March 29, 2004, 03:37:54 am »

Damn, after all that im finally able to post again!

Anyway, hope you enjoy guys, and thanks again Atheorhaven

atheorhaven · « **Reply #30 on:** March 29, 2004, 08:24:30 am »

np Wolfsgen... and thanks for releasing it in the first place.

All I did were just a few tweaks.

After you emailed permission for him to use it, I sent Nannerslug a message about this one (including the permission to use it), so also expect to see your ship show up in the "Generations At War" mod.
