Got it But why do you have that installer thingy, and what am I agreeing to, as Im not going to kitbash them or anything.

Thu11s · « **Reply #2 on:** June 13, 2004, 04:39:15 am »

Its mainly just a disclaimer and model policy thing. If you notice, many modelers have disclaimers or policies kicking about somewhere, on there site or in part of the download. It all started after a huge flame war about who could kitbash what without permission etc and a few people (modelers and bashers alike) got somewhat 'heated' in there debate. I chose this method mainly so you can't miss it. It's not some legal thing and I'm certainly not gonna come knocking on your door to check on you

Besides, if your not gonna kitbash, then there's no problem

Hello Thu11s
Thank you so very much

Marauth · « **Reply #7 on:** June 13, 2004, 11:37:33 am »

Fantastic model, really nice textures, 16 million colours this time aswell, really smooth. BTW the thumbnail on your site for the Cheetah shows the old one, confused me a first.

BTW would it be possible for me to get ahold of the original texture files so I can strip out the hull textures to do LDR versions of this and the Lion and Royal Tiger?

Marauth · « **Reply #9 on:** June 13, 2004, 11:58:54 am »

Once we get the Leopard I'll be able to run off the LDR version quickly as it's just a stretched Cheetah. Then a WYN Destroyer will be fairly easy to do, just have to come up with a base hull texture and then run the glowy areas through a filter and slap a WYN badge on. Speaking of which anyone got a nice pic of the WYN symbol I can use?

Oh and Rod, how could you forget the WYN pocket Battleship

that'll be an absolute beast.

Marauth · « **Reply #11 on:** June 13, 2004, 12:04:43 pm »

Cheers, that'll save me a bucket-load of time actually.

Oh the picture is correct, it's odd that my browser didn't refresh is as it's set to refresh on every visit to a page... Oh well.

I am really going for a uniform fleet concept with the non-canon races and I figured while we await Thulls' Lyran DDs I came up with these retextures....

LYRAN DESTROYER ideas: the light brown is a COUGAR, the dark one SMILODON, and the white one is a SNOW LEOPARD, at least in my mind, LOL. SHARE the INSANITY....

For now, I was hoping to make these larger than the frigate but I can't get CV to resize these larger without Mauling the model...

Perhaps the destroyer X could have an ESG on the "arms" as well as the main hull?

If Thulls doesn't mind I'd like to use his textures on Desty Nova's Lyran Shuttle...

Go for your life KF

But just to keep you waiting....

Its currently got enlarged FF engines, but I'll build specific ones for it soon (and attach them too

)

Marauth · « **Reply #14 on:** June 13, 2004, 04:57:06 pm »

That looks pretty cool, is that a Leopard I see? With enlarged booms... fantastic.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #15 on:** June 13, 2004, 05:50:25 pm »

Doh! I forgot the warp engine glow on the "Cougar", LOL. I fixed that just in time to learn about your Lyran destroyer WIP Thulls. Nice LDD!

BTW: Desty Novas' Lyran shuttle doesn't like to work with your textures well, I guess I'll go back to the stock textures for that one, LOL.

The LDR set that goes with these Lyrans of yours will also be sweet...

Marauth · « **Reply #16 on:** June 13, 2004, 05:58:53 pm »

LDR Lion (conjectural design) is finished, I'm getting to work on the Cheetah next Thanx for the files Thu11s, even though it took me five minutes to find out how to open them in PSP.

Thu11s · « **Reply #17 on:** June 13, 2004, 06:16:21 pm »

Well I dont know how to open PSD's in PSP

A quick texture slap on.

Still needs a bit of fiddling, so hopefully have the Leopard done soon too

Thu11s

Marauth · « **Reply #18 on:** June 13, 2004, 06:29:28 pm »

Looks fantastic Thu11s!

BTW What I meant was I couldn't open the PSD's in PSP7 which is the program I work in, but I have PSP8 which can open them, but I hate using cuz none of the features work how they're supposed to so I have to open it in PSP8 to strip out the Lyran hull textures then save it as a bmp and tidy up my horrible mess in PSP7. Still it's much easier than when I did the Tiger by magic-wand selecting all the hull lines

Khalee · « **Reply #20 on:** June 13, 2004, 06:35:49 pm »

Well Im waiting on seeing how you do the war versions of the ships Like where you put the power pack and the extra engines.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2004, 08:18:51 am »

Love it! Spots are great. Any Bengal Tigers comin' our way?

The_Infiltrator · « **Reply #25 on:** June 14, 2004, 08:17:16 pm »

Have you considered doing spot type variant retextures on the ships you've already done? Also, I must say I like the disruptor ports on the Lyran FF - have you thought about using that for the rest of the ships (it seems the DD will have them as well)?

Also, there's a pic of an unpainted model in the starfleet games store on ADB's website of the bottom of the STT, which shows the battery banks and the maulers. Might be good as a base if you want to go that way.

Marauth · « **Reply #26 on:** June 14, 2004, 08:30:46 pm »

The others have the disruptor ports already, in the same location no less.

I think the spots are because this is the Cheetah class while the Tigers have tiger stripes, it's nice to have some distinction between the classes anyway.
