ManSh00ter, I've been away from your posting for awhile, and the newest stuff looks hot!!! No problem with helping me out, I totally understand what I want to do is quite over the top. I would need the help of several modders, which I hope to get, including your support. In fact, when your mod is done, I would like to incorpoarate it into my mod, along with Uzii's and Bailknight's. I am working on kind of a Super Mod, with the best mods all combined together, including the mod I

Diresaint, Go to the downloads section, and in the section of the Mod tools, there are links. One of these takes you to the two huge PDF's, where Ironclad walks us though using XSI. It is REALLY helpful. DANMAN

Blair, This is awesome that you wan to hear from us. I agree with Uzii and finding those dumps so we can see exactly what cuased the error. A changed log from you guys would be great, as well as having stuff up front before or when the update comes out. Also, as you and I have spoken, getting the original XSI files would be great, then we wouldn't have to convert the MESH folders in a $3500 3DMAX program in order to make variations of the original ships, which is what a lo

Uzii, I checked out the pics, and they look great. Those derlict ships really look dead. I can't wait to see the need update when you post. Deckard666, I could use the .obj is Uzii doesn't need it. I have been working on a "broken" planet mod. Feel free to contact me. DANMAN

That is why we need Ironclad to give the ok or the original files, and once this happens. I'm sure the mod community will explode with new mods, especially once the particle editor comes out along with the completed forge tools. DANMAN

Blair, Thank you! I know you guys are probalby worried about copyright laws and people ripping off your work, but we in th modding community only have the game and the gamers interests at heart, plus its not like we are going to make money off the mods, they're all free. Thank you very much for the XSI instruction, and thank you for starting a dicsussion about releasing the source XSI files. With your instruction, plus those files, we modders could create tons of new content for the game,

Blair, I just read through the PDF's, and thank you. Thank you for giving a tutorial on how to use the Soft Image XSI software! Now I can make my own models from scratch. However, is there any way I can use the original ship MESH files as a starting point. I tried to us XSI to open the MESH files, but they don't reconize them. Any more help would be greatly appreciated. You guys are the best! DANMAN

Blair, First off, thank you for elping to bring about one of the best space strategy games of all time. I am a hard core MOO2 and 3, Star Control, and Master of Orion gamer and fan, and this game brings all those joys into one great package. Now on to your post, does this PDF how to convert the MESH files into XSI format too? I want to be able to use your awesome ships as a base. The modding community is screaming for "updated" versions of the current ships, and that is what I

Uzii, Check your messages. I think I figured out the whole double star thing. DANMAN

Diresaint, Thank you very much for the instruction. This is VERY helpful. Unfortunatley I am trying to do the reverse, convert the MESH files into XSI so that I can edit the original ship files. I want to use the original ships as a starting point, and come up with modified versions first, then move on to brand new models. If you now how to do this, or anyone who does, please post! Thank you for your help!!! DANMAN

Thank you Saikou, I will check this out! DANMAN

I still need help on this if anyone is interested. DANMAN

Pnakotus: I love your ideas. I plan to use Uzii's new planets mod to increase the different planet types ad bonuses, and Bailknight's graphical mod to change up the graphics. I plan to make "races" out of the different factions, and obviously some Star Control races will be left out. Some fanfiction ships might be made, btu again, all up to time and skill in modeling. I would love it of Bailknight, Uzii and ManShooter can join me n this endeavor, as there mods are awesome and game changi

Zajats: I forgot about Asendancy and X-COM! Another set of great games. CalibanXXX: donwload and use DosBox - it works everytime. Busy22: You are right, but it was the point of enemy of friendly that I was trying to get across. You have to love the Ilwrath and their twin gods Dogar and Kazon. Love it. They reminded me of Klingons that were insects. The whole cloaking and looking like a bird of prey..sweet. Dari: Yes, if the "cash-cows" spent money

rantzzz1998, Ah... the Stellar Converter. This made all those Death Star dreams come true. The weapon in question I believe was the plasma cannon, able to envelope and take down all 4 sheilds, allowing a nice hit from the neutron blaster or death ray before sending in the marines...good times. The Chmmr was the thing that looked like an Xwing with satellites, and the Kohr-Ah Maruader was the uber black death ship with the spinning blades and the super f.r.i.e.d. weapon. (Fiery Rin

Zajats: Yes, hopefully the developers are listening. And MOO and Star Control will be reborn Chasington: Will you be the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za or the Kohr-Ah? Will you enslave all or destroy all...that is the question! Bubsy22: I hope you can come to my *party* and we can *dance* together! We *ORZ* have many *happy* places. We do not Arilou though, they make us *frumpy*, and Androsynth make us *frumpy*. But humans make a very *happy*, we wish to *party*

Saikou: Yes, the Alterans were more of a peace-loving race, and only attacked when provoked, in which they would wipe out all in their path. The Atlantians that I am designing actually fullfill this role, so your interests are at heart. With this race, it will take the player an increadible long time to amass a fleet, due to EVERYTHING costing triple in order to balance the system. So you would have to be peaceful, until you have the power to decimate the race that ticks you off later on.

Here is the Capital Ship Factory: [img]http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/danman3712/ScreenShot_1copy.jpg[/img] [img]http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/danman3712/ScreenShot_2copy.jpg[/img] [img]http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/danman3712/ScreenShot_3copy.jpg[/img] I am going to see if I can add weapons too, to turn this thing into a battle platform as well (Deep Space Nine). I will of course keep you all posted. I have also manag

UPDATE: Hi everyone, I have been busy trying to get things to mesh well, and deal with the new update from Ironclad. Here are some new screenshots. The Carrier is now done, now known as the Atlantian Hive ship. The Capital ship factory is also done, costing 3 times the normal amount, and taking 3 times as long to build. But there is a payoff, bumped up stats, and sheilds! Here are the pics. Please let me know what you think! Atlantian Hive Ship: [img]http://i255.photo

ManShooter, WOW! I missed a lot in the past few days. First, thanks for telling me how you made those awesome models. I have XSI, I just have to learn how to use it. Secondly, OH MY GOD! What awesome models you have done. Most excellent work! Keep it up, and I will definatley beta test this thing too. Incredible. Keep up the good work. You have far surpassed my idea for a new race, you took it to a whole new level. Perhaps, when you are done this awesome mod, you might be able to h

To all who have replied so far: I am SOOOO glad I am not the only one who misses MOO2. And yes, the did make MOO3, but it was horrible. The space exploration and the planet graphics were good, even better, but the battles absolutley sucked. The fun of MOO2 was designing the ship and then seeing it in action as you controlled it in battle. MOO3 took this away. A game that was not ready to be released...excactly. I was waiting for some awesome update that would fix all the problems, espe

Greetings All, I just wanted to get this thread going, so hopefully there are others out there like me. Is there anyone oit there who would like to see the STAR CONTROL or Master of Orion races in the game? I am a huge fan of these, and still play them today. These classic space games first wet my appetite for space strategy games, and I would love to see them brought to new life in the Sins world. If there is anyone out there who wants this or is interested in

Uzii, Once again you have out done yourself. I had no idea that you added 4 more planet types. I am becoming a big fan of your work. You are really bringing back the old games of exploration, like Master of Orion and Star Control. I plan on downloading them immediatley, as I was waiting for you to update the mod for ver. 1.03. With your permission as before, I plan on integrating them into my Atlantis (Ancient Ones) mod, and merging it with Bailknight's mod and the skybox mod, all with

ManSh00ter, Congrats so far, a very interesting mod. I see that you got the whole "adding a race" thing down. I would love to download this when it is available. How are you creating the 3D models? They look awesome. Also, did you create them from scratch, or did you load in the game's original files as a base. I am trying to do the same for my mod, but can't seem to work with the original files, and I don't have time to make them from scratch. In either case, excellent work so far

Captain and Pious, Thanks for that idea. If I have time I will experiment with gold and white colors to give them a "noble" look. Since they are Atlantians, they should probably look "wise", since they are more advanced than anyone in the galaxy and created many races themselves. DANMAN
