Been a long time. I was pretty active here back in the day and I'm looking to make a small return. Problem is I can't find a lot of the old stuff. Sure you get that a lot.

Right now I'm focused on collecting all of the old official releases. I've got most of the old modforce stuff, but there's a few meshes I'm still out.


  • Shadow Mesh: A custom mesh of the Shadow character from Irrational's "The Lost"
  • Tangle Beam FX: A custom power FX created by the Irrational Team.
  • Female Versatile Mesh : fv_armour.zip, fv_fbi.zip, fv_hero.zip

Hoping to get them as they were originally shared by Irrational. I'm also looking for the "effects" version of all the original meshes. Surprisingly hard to find something like "male_basic_effects" out there.

That "Shadow", is that the Tombstone Shadow you did?

I've got most of the other stuff, I'm pretty sure. May not be 'til tomorrow 'til I can get them up. It will probably be in the afternoon.

Howdy Ewzzy, welcome back!  I love seeing veterans returning to the community!  :D  Let me know if you want to get involved in any of my projects!

Shadow: I've seen that somewhere, but I have no idea where.  If DG can't find it, I can dig around and see if I've got it somewhere.

Excellent! :thumbup: The Shadow mesh has now lead me down a weird path researching The Lost. I'm gonna post more about that later.

Digging into these Shadow meshes they've all been modified from the original, (converted to FFvt3R, resized, items toggled) but if I can remember how to hex I think I can restore the original file.  More on that later too.

Oh and I figured out how to log into my original account. Ain't that nice?

If you are trying to get back on the horse, you might find this useful:

I rescued and reposted a lot of the tutorials from the defunct FFwiki.  The Nifskope one should be particularly useful to you.

If you haven't found the original Shadow mesh, I have it unmodified from when I d/l'd it in 2004, if you need it.  I would have mentioned it yesterday but I thought I had only d/l'd the Instinct mesh, but I seem to have both.  Oh, and also, my network storage where I have it wouldn't stay on for more than 15-20 minutes at a time until I blew it out today (what came out was frightening).

That would be fantastic. Even if I could restore it, I'd love to have the file as it was released.

Also, I'm going to post some interesting research I've done into The Lost here in a minute. There's enough FF connection that it'll be in the Freedom Force Discussion area.

Drop me an email address you want it sent to (here or PM is fine), and I'll get it to you as soon as I can.

Thank you so much Panther and everyone else helping me with these. If you missed my research into Shadow and The Lost please check out my other thread.

Inspired by that I whipped up a new skin for the Shadow mesh.

It's based on promo art for the character that had a red mask and a blue belt.

It also includes an AI upscaled version of the standard skin. I've been working on HD Texture packs for a while now using AI and photoshop. I've got a mini-site for that if you want to take a look.

Download my masked Shadow skin here.
Download the original Shadow mesh file here.

Again, thank you all so much. Expect more from me in the future.

Neat, really cool stuff, Ewzzy!  I'd love to see some of that fancy texture stuff on some FF maps!

Resurrecting this thread to ask for the 1970's The Ant mesh that was a pre-order bonus.

Gracias glob! I've got The Ant, Eve, Bullet, and El Diablo. There weren't any other released right?

I only knew about The Ant and Eve...

Bearded (was it Bearded?) did a modernized Minuteman, which I scoped onto one of the Punisher meshes.
