Alex's Freedom Fortress [2022-06-04] Twenty Years baby!
« on: May 19, 2014, 02:55:43 AM »
Back in the early days of FF, we didn't have no fancy-pants FFX to spice up our mods. We had a dozen FX maybe! And we typed in every power for every hero into FFEDIT with our bare fingers - and we walked 5 miles in the snow to find the right mesh - and 80% of the time the right mesh was male_basic!

Return with me now to those thrilling days of FF innovation with a blast from the past - the legendary Super Powers Mod by Fatal_T and The Four-Eyed Avenger!

I had this on my backup drive and after checking with The Four-Eyed one himself, I took it upon myself to combine the various installers and patches into a single complete package. I also fixed an issue with certain levels that needed maps that only came with the original FF editor.

A true classic, this is one of the first DC Mods, but still among my favorites - the "Bat's In The Cradle" episode still inspires. I remember congratulating Fatal_T and Four-Eyed Avenger on their great achievement when it came out. I kind of always felt this occurs in a shared universe with my own JLA Mod as we both used a lot of the same meshes/skins and my own hero "recipes" were used as the basis for some heroes.

I'm glad we can all once again enjoy this great adventure! Grab it now on the Mods page.

Haha, I played this back in the day, and it is a great classic mod.  Your description though, that's priceless. :lol:

Thanks for hosting this!
God Bless

After almost 10yrs, I'm once again posting Courtnall6's Marvel skins. Only about 15 up right now (cause I'm busy dammit!)

But look for more Marvel (and other currently unhosted skins) to follow.

You are awesome... Thanks!  :thumbup:

I don't think c6's stuff from Champions or Renegade Victory is hosted on anyone's website at the moment (although it has been collected in yahoo groups). Fingers crossed all the Champions stuff gets a new home.

Any chance we can beg and plead to get him to release some of his previously unreleased Skins, before he stopped Skinning, he had previewed some outstanding pieces of art, including a beautiful Juggernaut Skin.

nice... glad to see these finally getting a home again. we really need to do something as a community to get all the older members content off of yahoo and on to an actual site.

and i agree with cb i would love to see c6 back along with others like renegade, fusion,beyonder and gren not even for content just to see how they're doing

Agreed, I was going to send C6 a PM about something, but he hasn't logged in to FR since October of 2013.  :(

Thanks for the link!

I don't suppose anyone has copies of the preview pics that used to go with his skins?
I have about 117 of the ones I used to have on my site, but that's not all of them and I have none of the Champions ones.

Unfortunately, I believe a few of us have used the Way Back Machine to try and find preview pics, but as far as I know, no one has had any luck.

I might happen to have those preview pics, if you have something like a list of what you need that would help.
