come on mate, you really think i could convince 2 meshers to do he-man characters

[BentonGrey]

Haha, that is a stretch, TUE.

Howdy Deanjo!  I'm hoping that we can get him made too, along with the Punk Frogs.  I've got a storyarc outlined for them, but that is a long shot.  A fellow can hope, though!

JP, I'm hoping all of the awesome stuff going on lately will bring you out of burn-out mode!

TUE, there are other old He-Man meshes out there by other meshers i.e. Lord Ehmsidy's Beastman, Captain carrot's Horde Trooper and Mechanek, etc...

My daughter has two large plastic tubs full of action figures, the Techno-Drome, the Sewer Play set, the van, and something that has life preservers a stuff. This takes me back to HER childhood.

[murs47]

It all makes sense now.



Also, this t-shirt is brilliant....and sold out.

[BentonGrey]

Haha, poor crazy April.....but that t-shirt is just BEYOND awesome!

Just sorta' bumping this.  I could definitely use some more skinner help guys!

[BentonGrey]

Okay guys, I've got everything I need to release mission 2, but I still need Splinter before I can release missions 3.  Then I'll need Bebop and Rocksteady before I can do mission 4.  Come on guys, I need your help!

[style]

Bebop and Rocksteady are done they just need skins!

[BentonGrey]

Exactly!  We need some skinners to step up and make the Turtle dream a reality!

[BentonGrey]

Episode II has been released!  Continue the shell-shocked action as the Turtles get one step closer to uncovering the plans of the mysterious Shredder!

http://bentongrey.wordpress.com/2010/07/10/more-ninja-turtle-action/

Also, I'll use this to put out another plea for a Splinter skope/skin/mesh.  I've got everything I need for mission 3 except Splinter.  If I can get Splinter, and once Daglob finishes Bebop and Rocksteady, I'll be set for the next three or four missions.  Come on guys, help bring the Turtles to life!

[BentonGrey]

:EDIT: Done.

[BentonGrey]

Gentlemen, I need testers for the Turtle mod! 

[BentonGrey]

My friends, we have a Splinter!  Failed Hero very graciously volunteered to skope this "radical rat" for us, and now all he needs is a skin to match the awesomeness of the skope.  Come on skinners, help me make FF history with a full Turtles mod!  You can see the skope right here:


Splinter's ready to kick some Foot backside, but he needs your help!

And I'm still in need of a tester or two!

[oldmanwinters]

I figured I ought to post on this thread since this was the mod that introduced me to Freedom Force and have been testing it for Benton Grey for the last week or so.  I am so thrilled about this project and hope we get to see a skinned Splinter, Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady in the near future!

I second the call for more testers.  One major problem I've run across is the second mission in which the TMNT must save April O'Neil and escape from a rooftop of a building about to collapse.  There are two major battles in this mission with an intermission cutscene.  The problem I'm finding is that if April gets KO'd before the intermission period, instead of reviving next to Leonardo as BentonGrey intends, she shows up right next to the exit, and thus makes for an anticlimatic conclusion to the mission.  I'm uncertain whether this problem is limited to my computer or whether it is more widespread.  Thus, testers are needed!

[BentonGrey]

Thanks Winters!  Your enthusiasm for the Turtles mod has kept me charged up, so thanks for playing through those missions so many times, helping me test 'em.  

Yeah, I definitely need another tester, because I can't reproduce the error that Winters is getting.  Of course, we are also still in need of a Splinter.

In other news, I know that a few of you, perhaps a minority, or perhaps a surprisingly quiet majority, have been wanting to see April actually get a mission of some sort, well, your wait is over....err...it will be when I release the next episode.  I've just finished a rough draft of a mission which has April on the trail of a hot story, and it will be up to you and Casey Jones to keep her from getting in over her head!  After that, you might just get a chance to face off against Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady....plus, Splinter takes the field!

[swede4444]

Did you ever get a Shredder? Looks there's one here...

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/zerosmasterskins8/files/

Forgive a newbie if you're already familiar with this one.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks for the suggestion Swede, but I did indeed find a Shredder.  The inimitable Grenadier did a mesh, and an equally awesome TUE did a skin.

[BentonGrey]

Howdy gents, just a small updated here.  I've got missions 3 through 7 pretty much finished.  I've got to do a bit more testing, but everything is pretty much set.  Once I get a Splinter skin I can release them.  After that, all I'll need is Krang to finish up the arc.

[oldmanwinters]

Oy!  The anticipation is killing me!  Seven missions nearly completed?!?!

Somebody please get this man a Splinter skin!

[BentonGrey]

Arrg!  So, I've finished up the last touches (the base scenes) on these TMNT missions, and I'm all set to send them to my testers....when, all of a sudden, on a final run through, I start getting this weird error!  I hope y'all can help me figure this out.  I would load a game to a level that used the Turtles Lair map Dana was kind enough to create for me as its base map.  The base scene would start to load, then give me an error box saying that the mission didn't contain level extents and the game was going to use the default settings.  The base scene would then load just fine, but I couldn't play the mission briefing.  What's going on?  I've never had base maps need extents files before!  What's more, I've played the first of these base scenes before, and it worked splendidly.  Can anyone help?  I am really flumoxed on this one guys, and the mod is pretty much completely stalled until I can figure it out!
