New Projects
Friday, February 11, 2000 - updated by Ice Heart @ 09:12 PM EST

I have almost completed another reskinned and table editted NTF Iceni. This version will be a Shivan ship and mount Shivan weapons, it could be useful for missions and campaigns that want to have Bosch allied with the Shivans. I was going to port the FS1 ships to FS2, but Dark is already working on that project. So, perhaps I'll create an Anubis Mk II and an Athena Mk II once Dark's pack is complete.

The Iceheartian Theory..

I'm really really tired right now so I'm just going to copy and paste from my post at DC:

"I have been informed by a fellow staffer Ice Heart at our very own hosted site, Triton Dynamics that it is very simple to convert FS1 POF files to FS2 POF files. The only change that is really needed is to convert the model is to go in the the subobjects chunk of the POF and change the factor for the movement type from whatever it is at to "No Movement"! This is going to make a lot of people happy. I also heard that Dark is making a pack with ALL of the ships from FS1 in it and it should be available within the next few days."

What would I do with out Copy and Paste?

I Hate Metaballs

You ask what a metaball is? Well, in my own terms, it's the most annoying thing I have ever encountered. Now I remember why I uninstalled my 3d program. Those MODs I mentioned before won't be coming out. However, I will release the weapons.tbl file that I was going to use. Might as well bring some joy to people, right? I hate metaballs.

Even More Stuff..

Hey everyone! I just wanted to inform you on one of my upcoming MODs! I am also working on a Juggernaught class ship! It's called the GTVA Hellraiser and it's going to be awesome. It's going to take me awhile, but I figured I might as well let you all know now! Keep checking back here for more updates on your favorite place for MODs!

Oh yeah, soon we will be posting a screenshots sections with screenshots from all of our MODs in action, seperated by categories and whatnot.

I am still looking for any modeling d00ds out there who would be able to create a 17.5 km juggernaught for me. All you have to do is create the model and convert it to a fs2 pof file and I will do the rest. If you are still interested, e-mail me. Note: I pity da foo who can't table edit, suckas!

Campaign
Tuesday, February 08, 2000 - updated by Laser Ray @ 06:03 PM EST

I would like to tell everybody that I will now be working on a campaign called Shiva Prime. However, I am not that good at designing missions so I need a good mission designer (or two or three) for the job. Click on my name and e-mail me if you wish to apply!

New MODs Added at Descent Chronicles
Monday, February 07, 2000 - updated by Ice Heart @ 09:44 PM EST

Orange has just updated the FS2 MODs Section at Descent Chronicles. Looks like a lot of excellent new mods. I had a lot of free time over the weekend and I made three new MODs; one new capital ship, a new weapon, and a new fighter. Also, I submitted an updated version of a MOD that was already present. The new fighter is the GTDRF Harpy, the DRF meaning 'drone fighter'. I did a little table editting and reskinning of the Amazon to make it at least moderately useful in combat. The new capital ship is designated the GTFg Damocles, the Fg meaning 'frigate'. I reskinned and table editted the NTF Iceni to create this new class of Terran ship. For balancing, it is less poweful than the original Iceni, but is more powerful than a standard Deimos corvette. The new weapon is the Shivan Slash beam that I mentioned on February 05. Like most Shivan beams, it is a little more powerful than its Terran or Vasudan equivalents. I basically created it out of a need I had for a beam a little less poweful than the SRed. Last but not least, I submitted an updated version of the GVI Abydos. Terminator informed me that I had forgotten to include the ships.tbl that I had created for the installation. I sent the version with the needed table off and it has been posted. The Abydos is somewhat better armed than a standard Arcadia installation, it also looks radically different since it is a Vasudan Installation.

Sorry, I have a big spanish project due tommorow. Anyways, I added quite a few new MODs to the FS2 MODs Section at DC a few minutes ago. Please note that there will be more added after I get some responses from authors of some of the MODs.
