A lot of people (A LOT) have been PMing and emailing me about my high-poly marine structure pack that i made a while ago asking if i was going to re-release them.
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes, but not now.
Explanation: The buildings i released 1 by 1 a few months ago were beta models. A lot of them have quirks and stuff that can
a) lead to performance issues
b) crashes
NS already pushes the enveloppe at it's max so adding more doesn't help.
I too have what you could call a "power house" computer, but when NS crashes, it's never a good sign.
Now, i still have a few models to upgrade (IP, Arms lab, prototype lab, CC, maybe even the marines themselves) but due to time restrictions (college mainly, which i am finishing next month, yay!) i haven't been able to work on the models lately.
But i will still do it.
A lot of people asked me if i wanted my models to be featured in their packs:
Plz don't. Due to these issues, they'll only do your pack harm and wont look as good as i intended them to look.
My goal: Release all of the NS structures with a high poly mesh while still keeping the same skin, exactly the same like the HL have high and low poly meshes for it's player models. Who knows, maybe Flayra will recognize my work and add my models as official models, and people will be able to check an option and have high poly buildings... but i can always dream <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

lol...
Fair enough. Good luck with the job!
Probably because there was alot of them?
BigBull: Nope. Sometimes it would crash just when there was 1... often, it crashed the game right before i actually spawn it in the world!
No idea why
<!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I loved them, and I need them.
I need a woman.

Oh! Oh! I hope the secret model is the Apache! That was really good!
Or are you doing the shifty eyes because it wasn't yours?

Btw get on the t2k server nub
All the ones i could find. The BP version of the armory is the one which shakes as it upgrades, the other has a spinning hat.
Enjoy
P.S. The server runs off a 512Kbs broadband connection so no grumbling about download speed or i will beat you
