Textures for old upgunned cruisers.
When searching my hard drive I found this: http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.546
This pack contains upgunned ,HTL Fenris and Leviathan ,but it seems
they are old models because I cannot find main textures for them.
I would like to use those models in my mod ,so I would like to know
where I can get textures.
Those ships are based off HTL Fenris and Leviathan by VA ,I don't know who upgunned them.
(they use the same weapons as GTD Hera ,so maybe Raptor).

Re: Textures for old upgunned cruisers.
Yeah, the base model was by VA. I think those extra turrets were added by Raptor.

Re: Textures for old upgunned cruisers.
Thanks Snail ,I will soon pack it together and release complete set.
I always thought those ships need extra guns.
(though I'm a bit disappointed by lack of those red and blue
glows ,I will try to do something with it).
I will put Raptor as as author ,I also think that's his work.

Re: Textures for old upgunned cruisers.
Heh, just to set the record straight, the base model was actually by Karma (it was essentially the first HTL model ever), everything else UV and POF data-wise by me, and yeah the extra turrets were added by Raptor. :)

Also keep in mind that those POFs there won't be as up to date as the ones in the current MVPs, so there may or may not be smoothing or POF data glitches present, but nothing catastrophic AFAIK.
Get the 2014 Media VPs and report any bugs you find in them to the FSU Mantis so that we may squish them. || Blender to POF model conversion guide

Re: Textures for old upgunned cruisers.
I agree.  I always hoped that someone would drag these out of the closet and give them a fix-up, since originally both the upgunned Leviathan and Fenris came with the Fenris textures.  Beyond that however, as VA pointed out, they're based on the early multi-texture versions of these models.  I was hoping that a talented individual (since Lord knows I don't have any talent in that area) would go to the trouble of using the more mature versions of the Hi-Poly Fenris and Leviathan models with the merged textures, and either transferring or recreating the same turret additions and changes to match Raptor's design.  Hell, I was hoping that someone might also give a hi-poly face-lift to Hamano's Ticoderoga model, which is quite a ship but showing its age as far as details are concerned.  Also, hits deck-gun turrets could use some improvements.  Perhaps that's too much to hope for. ;7
