My first post on the new forums. Just thought I'd say what's up since I've been away so long.

Trying to figure out how to set up my avatar.

Cool!! Got it figured out. I like the new forums.

I'll be updating New Galveston Shipyards tonight. Nothing big. Just going to put up the Chandley retexture I did with four different registries. I was talking to KF a few days ago and suddenly realized I'd never released all of that stuff.
Probably a day late and a dollar short now that someone else has done a Chandley retexture, but better late than never, huh?

DTW, I was just at your site downloading some of your retextures a few days ago. Nice work! I finally got a copy of the Tikopai. I'd been chasing one of those for months and months.

As for where I've been, my uncles cancer got real bad around November. Since I was his primary caregiver I didn't have much time on my hands until after he passed away at the end of January.
Also, I don't have SFC III yet. I kinda felt left out.

I finished the USS Fife registries tonight and tweaked out the hp/dp and made a break mod for the Chandley Class. Just got finished testing it in game. Here's some pics. Will update my site in the morning with the USS Chandley, USS Blackheart and USS Fife registries. (This is all for SFC II of course:))

Almost forgot......she has 1024x1024 textures.

Nice work on the USS Fife, now we just need a mission scripter to make the FASA mission A DOOMSDAY LIKE ANY OTHER.

MISSION GOAL: Destroy the Doomsday Machine before it destroys planet Ectair
Special requirements: Prevent the Romulans from capturing it (by Capturing a control device discovered by the Pride O' Rigel).

USS Fife (hero ship) by P81 retextures by Pataflafla

Pride O' Rigel, Dwarfstar class merchant ship Substitute with Cleeve's Canon TMP Merchantman [Stock xsmer is ok]

Doomsday Machine stock with John Stone's Canon textures [Need a more canon sized version]

Cosmos Royale luxury liner, Darkdrone's Klingon Academy converted Luxury Liner [Stock version is well, lacking]

Planet Ectair, any stock or custom Class M world will do

Romulan Squadron:

V-8 Gallant Wing by P81
V-9 Night Flyer FASA design not yet available for SFC; use Canon TOS BOP by Atrahasis
V-5 Skyfire FASA design not yet available for SFC; use FASA Death Talon by Atrahasis
S-9 Wind Carrier FASA design not yet available for SFC; use Moonraker's Klingon Academy REC

Gorn

Although there are no FASA Gorn available for SFC or mentioned specifically in the scenario A DOOMSDAY LIKE ANY OTHER, the encounter occurs in the "OutbacK" a region between Gorn, UFP and Romulan Space. Since the Fife would be in need of reinforcements I figured the Gorn would help the Feds against their common foe if push came to shove.

I 'd use Thulls' Gorn Tyrannosaurus Rex Dn and two of his Ghidorah GCXs to even the odds.

Qa' Pla!

Thats a nice chandley.

DestinyCalling · « **Reply #7 on:** March 05, 2003, 08:20:03 pm »

Its a luverly ship. I always thought the Chandley was one of the only decent designs FASA came up with..... I just have one problem.....

I downloaded it but found that some of the textures where missing, I wonder if you had forgotten to zip them with it..... We're talkin impulse engine, bridge.... etc.....

Any suggestions?

Ditto, It took me two hours to d/l it. This is possibly THE best Chandley made for SFC but I can't play it without the complete texture set. Please update the ship.

My bad.

It was missing this file: fcha_3.bmp

The main download has been fixed. Those of you who already downloaded the big file can use the above link to get the missing texture.

Well, does anyone think a similar treatment of the Northampton would be in order?

Got beat to it bud.

I know. In fact, I wouldn't have released this Chandley for that reason except for KF's urging to do so when I contacted him about Lt. Riley's Loknar Refit. I released the beta with USS Blackheart textures back in Oct and just forgot about it after that.
But I'm having so much fun with it now I think I'll go ahead and make a matching USS Northampton. Most of the textures are the same anyway so it's not much work. I obtained P81's permission for a whole series of FASA retextures back in September. Unless someone else can find a reason why I shouldn't, I think I will continue with that project.

I don't see this as any kind of competetion and I'll even download Hig's USS Chandley if I can find the link. He's doing great work.

Besides, how many versions of the USS Enterprise are out there? I'm doing these retextures for the same reason: to see if I can make something worth playing in game.
I certainly mean no disrespect to anyone else who happens to be working on similar or related projects.

BTW, is Lt. Riley's Loknar Refit hosted anywhere? It's a great model!! NGS would be proud to host it if it doesn't have a home. I'll even make a nice wallpaper for it.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #12 on:** March 06, 2003, 05:33:39 am »

Thank you for the excellent and timely update to the Chandley's missing textures. The only thing I will be changing is that I will be adding two rear torpedo bays as she's supposed to have two aft firing torpedos. Great job though!!!!!

Makotokat has already said he's ok with having the Loknar Refit hosted by at least one other person so I can't see why he wouldn't allow you to host it too.

Bring on more retextuired stuff!

Qa Pla!

WHAT UP?! Damn, haven't seen you in forever. My condolences on your uncle. My father in law recently passed from cancer, so I know how it goes. Saw you found frost-works...great place. Hate to say it here, but I've learned more in the month Ive been there than all the time here at Taldren.

Right now, I am in the process of rebuilding my site...have my own domain, 200mb of storage and unlimited bandwidth.

Trying to learn Dreamweaver, Photoshop 7 and MAX5 all at the same time.

Oh well, I'm having fun!

Here's the link to my hold page, which hopefully will be replaced bt my site in a few days.

Hope to see you around more.
