Hah, I just sent it too.   :)

BentonGrey

Okay, thanks to Or, Mike, and DG, I've got male_Scap.  Thanks guys!  :D

El Insensatez's skin is really quite nice, very classic and Golden Ageish, but it's my understanding that the Icicle uses a cold-gun, which this fellow's mesh lacks.  Would anyone be willing to take a crack at a skope/skin combo for me?  Any chance EI is still around and might update the skin?

DG, you're the man.  :D

Hey, so this is weird.  Or just sent me the male_basic_FX mesh, which is clearly what's in the Mist's readme and is clearly the right type of mesh.  It is emitting FX and everything, but despite that, the Mist skin doesn't have textures named properly to replace its flames.  Anyone know what I'm missing?

I'm having a little trouble.

I think I have The Mist set up and working. If so, I'll send it.

daglob

Okay, despite what the readme says, Mist goes on The Human Torch mesh. I was trying to transplant the S-Cap to a mesh with a gun, but so far, it won't transplant correctly.

Do you still need the Torch mesh?

BentonGrey

Yes, thanks DG. 

Sorry the transplanting isn't working!

It's going to take someone with more scoping skills than I have to make it work. Male S-Cap won't line up. I was trying to put it on Deathlock and Crimson Avenger, because they have high-tech-looking guns. I'll try some others, but I know if I can do it.

DJ & PG: Good choices. I didn't do anything else last night (got up early to help  my daughter yesterday), but was going to go back to it today.

The S-Cap mesh is Male Basic, but the "male_basic" part of the mesh itself does not have a name. It's like just copying the editable mesh part to another mesh: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This time...

I tried running it trough Blender (and am tempted to re-create the mesh with plain old Male Basic), but so far no luck. Anything else I post about it I'll put in the Hex Editing forum.

DG, there's always another way to do things.  Instead of bringing Male_Scap to the gun, bring the gun to male_Scap.
take the gun and any other nodes from Crimson Avenger, and paste them into the male_Scap mesh,  then his keyframes should work perfectly for icicle.

BentonGrey

Thanks for weighing in, DM!  And thanks for taking a stab at this, DG!

DJ, I knew that I had seen a Tommyboy Fiddler once upon a time, but I was beginning to fear that you were right.  He's not on Tommy's site, but I did a search of the old forums and found a reference to him, tracked him down in my Yahoo groups (TBmeshes 17), and viola!  It turns out, we actually DO have a mesh with fiddling anims, courtesy of the incomparable Tommyboy, and Tommy did a really great job! 



Thanks for the suggestions, though!  I've got Brainwave already, and I've been considering the Gambler....he's just so goofy looking that I haven't brought myself to include him yet....(and yet I've got the Fiddler, the Bug-Eyed Bandit, etc....)  :lol:

Haha, I think the Goof Troop has more dignity than Bug-Eyed Bandit... :lol:

Hey, did Ren make a Firebrand II

Update-
Can folks help me find what's out there for:

I'm going to go ahead and add the Gambler.  After all, he was a major foe of the GA heroes.  Anyone willing to skin Tommy's mesh?  It's got a solid base skin, but his gun isn't skinned, so at least I need that done.

Also, I've been reading the great classic All-Star Squadron book from the 80s, and I'm toying with adding Johnny Quick (Golden Age) to the DCUG because he's such a fun character in that series.  Yet, the CSA character already has the name.  Would anyone care to see him included, and does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle the naming difficulty?

It was just easier to sculpt a Male Basic:



This MBSC can go on most Male Basic-type meshes, so pick out your gun. It's on a scope by CB and the name of the weapon is Freeze Gun. The Male Basic parts have refl and glow textures, also. I also pointed the chin and nose a little. I need to see if he has pointy shoes (got the Blender file saved). I also considered starting with Male Basic Icecuffs.

I'll load my Abra Kadabra and see how far I got.

Writing in a lot of disconnected sentences. Still tired.

BentonGrey

Hey, that looks really great, DG!  Thanks man, and thanks for sticking with it!  Do we have any guns that look like this?

Not a big deal, just curious.

I can't wait to see your Abra Kadabra, my friend!

No hurry on any of this stuff, so don't wear yourself out on my account, man.  :)

Sending you Abra Kadabra by Bloodshadow and Killer Frost by Firestorm and Justintyme.  Could've sworn I had Bison and Plastique, I was a big fan of 80s Firestorm.  I can't find them in backups tho.

Thanks Mike! 

I just remembered, I had planned on checking out LP's beautiful Killer Frost skin/skope.  Haha, this is why I make lists and take notes....too many things to keep track of!


DJ, I actually already have this version of the Thinker in the mod:

He's serving as the main antagonist in my Atom campaign, but I suppose I could throw him into this JLA/JSA crossover mission and sort of fudge the timeline.

Haha, yeah, I know the one you mean.  That IS Clifford DeVoe, just in a new (at the time) costume.  I haven't seen him in the original JSA stories, but he shows up in the original Atom run.  I don't remember the details, but he fights both Earth 1 and Earth 2 Atoms:

Hah!  Just wait, DJ, by the time this is over, you're going to know more about DC than I do.  ;)

There is one in a green robe; I think he might be in Kenn-X's stuff at Alex's place.

I think I did one too, but I don't know where it went.

BentonGrey

Yeah, I think I remember seeing him in his old non-costume with that wonderful old-fashioned 'Thinking Cap.' 

DG, are you thinking of Brainwave, perhaps?

Hey guys, I am apparently missing the mesh I used for Toyman's toy armymen.  This is strange, as I know I had it once upon a time.  Does anyone have a hexed version of Captain America WWII that's scaled down to toy size, with a green army man skin?  The name is supposed to be something like: CAWW2_army men

I was. Although, I think Atomic Robot may have done the old version.

I can hit those.  Any particular artist or era preferable?  Belle is gonna have to be 80's, unless she's older than I thought.

Thanks guys!

PG, thanks man!  I'd like Bronze Age/Modern, where possible, and the Liberty Belle is the classic, JSA/1940s (by way of the 80s).  Other than that, I'm not too picky.  Just use your own taste and pick out nice ones.  :)

And here's another minor thing.  I seem to have lost some of my HF packs.  Can someone send me some good FFvTTR HF collections?  I've got a big USAgent pack but used to have several others.

Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear, which *printing* era.  But, one quick trip to Wikipedia and Libby *is* older than I thought (or remembered, because I did read her write-up in Who's Who.....when it was published).  First appearance Boy Commandos #1.
