Ahh, perfect!  Awesome, Dean, beautiful skin, nice design, and exactly the kind of alien creature we want!  :thumbup:

Hey, so Tommy made some giant keys, are there any other giant keys floating around out there for male_basic or male_cape?

For Male_Basic, I believe so. Valandar had some, maybe Gren as well. Just not sure that they are compatible with Tommy's Colossal Boy Mesh, at least not without some fidgeting. My problem is that CTool2 doesn't show the Giant Sized Meshes clearly, but I did just find my disk, so when I get home tonight, I can check these in-game and get a better perspective.

BentonGrey

Yeah, I had the same problem, CB.  The new keys I sent you are a lot more visible, though.

Would anyone mind sending me those other giant keys?  I want to have those one way or the other.

I know I have Val's on my Laptop, but I'm not sure about Gren's. But I'll send you what I have tonight. I also have a few ideas in regards to Colossal Boy that I want to try out as well.

BentonGrey

Awesome!  I'm not trying to step on your toes, of course.  I just want to figure out options for the future.

Okay, for Chameleon Boy, I'm going to use Val's Troglodyte for the agile form, and I've got Dean's awesome alien for the strong form.  What should I use for the other one?  I'm debating using a dragon of some sort, but since CB can't actually take on all the powers of a form, it would basically be just big and scary, but not all that dangerous, which would be kind of interesting.  Maybe he'd have Presence in that form and make people panic.  He could also have area attacks and such, but he wouldn't be as strong or as tough as the form seemed to indicate. 

I could either do that or maybe a ranged form, if that is something he could do.  Any thoughts?

I like the idea of the Dragon. Maybe using a ranging panic attack, and a melee attack simulating piercing claw strikes.

Thanks CB, that sounds about right. 

So, I'm almost done with the LSH characters.  I'll start testing them pretty soon and will then build them in, and I was thinking about what else I'm missing.  I remembered that there were several Green Lanterns that I had been meaning to add, so I thought I'd go ahead and start talking about them.

I've also considered adding the Sinestro Corps. in (in part).  They aren't part of the original conception of the DCUG, but I have always liked the idea of a rival power to the Lantern Corps., and despite how the rainbow Lanterns thing sort of jumped the shark (for me at least), the SC just felt like a perfect evolution of Sinestro and the concepts that surrounded him.  Would anyone be interested in seeing them in the mod?

I know someone (maybe multiple soneones) did a bunch of the Sinestro Corps. characters.  Anyone know where I can find those?

As for GL characters, I've got the Earth Lanterns and Kilowog, as well as Tomar-re, but I want to add more, actually create the feeling of a corps.  I want to limit it to classic-ish character, though I'm not going to be fanatical about that.  I'm looking for suggestions, as well as looking for materials for these guys:

Who else should I consider?

Arisia, Chummuck? (I feel like I've made portraits of both of them for you long ago)

Ch'p?

Driq? (zombie)

NautKeLoi?

Xax?

Charlie Vicker?

Okonoko?

Right, PG, and good memory, ha!  Yeah, I also have Arisia and Chummuck. 

NautkeLoi and Xax seem like possibilities, and maybe Ch'p.  I'll try and track down some stories with some of the other guys.  Thanks for the suggestions, PG!

Ahh, thanks Dean!  That's who made all the zillions of Lanterns!  Awesome!

SA has a ton of great stuff, but I feel like I have seen a Salaak who could conjure screens and other cool stuff during some animations.  Am I making that up?

If you want Lanterns, check out SickAlice's Litterbox GL Section: http://catman.freedomforceforever.com/pages/green.html

SA made tooons of Lanterns of many varieties. Definitely my goto section.  :doh:

<whispers>...G'nort...

G'Nort, Duck Loontern, Alfred E. Lantern, B-Dg... I don't see Ch'p or Arkkis, but Arkkis is at Heroforce, along with Ink's Arisia.

BentonGrey

Haha, DJ!  G'nort....he's certainly an option.  :lol:

DG, ha, I don't think Daffy really fits the DCUG.  :)  I do have Arkkis.  I'm considering Ch'p.

So, I've got Ink's Katma Tui, and I've got SA's versions.  What else is out there for her?  Ohh, I've seen C6's from his GL packs as well.

Has anyone done the crystal or robot GLs?

Does anyone else remember that Salaak I described?  Am I crazy?

I found a Galius Zed on Alex's site.

Daglob, what was the name of the Freedom Force site with all of the GL Corps?  I feel like it was Emerald Dawn, but I didn't find it (quickly) in the living list posts.  Maybe there's something from there that hasn't been done elsewhere yet.

Edit:  nevermind, I found it, emeralddawn.com.  Last working snapshot was Oct 2011.  Skins mostly by Lord Malvolio.  I don't think there was anything there that hasn't been recreated (or BG doesn't have already).  The skins page doesn't look like it's changed since at least the snapshot I looked at in early '06.  Successfully downloaded the Arisia skin from the 2011 snapshot.

It was "Emerald Dawn", and it can only be found on The Wayback Machine:

With the Freedom Force stuff here:

http://web.archive.org/web/20050204153421/http://emeralddawn.com/items/skins/skins.htm

I think there are newer versions of everything except maybe Goldface and Lamplighter. Have Sonar and The Invisible Destroyer been re-done?

BentonGrey

Okay, I've found most everything I was looking for, except for Chaselon and Stel, unless anyone else can remember the Salaak I described.  Anyone know of a Chaselon anyplace?


On another note, can anyone find me a decent picture of Polar Boy in his classic costume for a portrait?  The Internet is being surprisingly unhelpful.

I've got a Chaselon someplace. but I don't know about Stel. I'll look.

Would his pose from the cover of DC Comics Presents #59 do?  You'll need to clean up the others around him a bit, though.

Thanks DG!  Unfortunately, that skope won't quite work.  Anyone interested in doing Chaselon?  I know he's sort of a tough one, but I figure there's got to be some way to do him...though it will take someone better than me to skope him.  :)

PG, yeah, I had to track down a decent rez version, but I think that will work.  Thanks!

Hey guys, I've got something weird going on.  I've got VX_Brainiac_5, and he works fine in game and in CTool.  However, he's a bit dark, as happens with  :ff: meshes occassionally, so I need to brighten his light values.  However, when I try to load him in Nifskope, it gives me an error message and won't load him properly.  Anyone willing to look at their copy and see if they can load him in Nifskope, maybe brighten him up for me?

:EDIT: Apparently it's a bunch of my VX meshes, including VX_Male, Tyroc, a Cosmic boy skope, and Lightning Lad.  Fortunately, I only need Brainy, Tyroc, and Lightning Lad brightened.

I managed to solve the VX problem by doing the brightness fix on unconverted versions.  Beware of this in your own games!

So, on the GL front, things are looking great, and the Legion is mostly finished.  I am still struggling with Chameleon Boy, though.  I like the dragon idea, but it is a bit unwieldy.  I'm thinking about a form with burrowing powers.  So, other than the giant ants and The Ant himself, what is out there with burrowing keys?  Are there any monstrous/alien skins/skopes of The Ant himself?

I wonder if you could add burrowing keyframes to Gni's Alien.

BentonGrey

I actually thought about Gni's Alien, but it's just too darn recognizable for what I want, which is a shame, because it would be a nice choice.

Just convert whatever other 3d model of choice to the Alien mesh.

Actually, SickAlice has a nice variety of Meshes on his site, perhaps one or two of those could have the burrowing animations added to them.

What about one of Moleman's monsters (not the moloids)?  Have any of those things been meshed?
