I really hope the ridable sea turtle thing was a joke lol!

Sun Tzu The Art of War, chapter one:
Disinformation is key to all victory :ninja:

sorry the quality isn't the greatest, they're more for orientation for the XOs than to show anything. 'cept that they're big, maybe:P
Andy

Well, the actuall turtle part was-ish , but i would like to see a way to travel, in water, other than swimming, and in real time I think this would be the perfect mod to implement this in. Also, I havent seen any responses to my coconut grenade

awww yea.


can you provide one of an isometric perspective? trying to get a feeling for the scale.

The grenade is actually doable, just take the grenade, and change its mesh to a coconut.
Very doable indeed. I think.
Might not be doable.

The proper use for a coconut is not explosives, but halving and equipping well-endowed females with them to get the proper tropical atmosphere going. A-loooo-haaaaa. :hubbahubba:

I think we found our pirate booty.

And FYI, the Stanley cup game is on.

You should make Acky an optional companion for the duration of the quest. lol. He can say funny things and refer to a mysterious `Boss Man` all the time.

I always thought they were for those drinks with the little umbrellas in 'em. You know, drink one and your fine. Drink two and gravity becomes a quantum variable in reality, and toiletbowls become your best friend.
But I like yours too

reminds me, we need puking in FO. Preferably in 3rd person

@Bishop
you mean like this?

The floortiles you se are scaled twice as large..

Andy



Acolyte gonna be in da boat Bwaahahaha..
Oh.
Shhht, it's a surprise :hubbahubba:

Sorry for the double post..

It's taking me 15minutes to send out an email with the file attached, and it's only 20megs..
So all XOs patience please, this is gonna take awhile..
Doesn't help that it freezes my machine for the most part as well..
Ah well, I remember the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem#The_Carterfone_decision...
Just so that everyone know


Andy

Glad im not old enough to remember those....or the frustration they would have caused me. I have enough problems with the modems of today.

marines and sailors are always lushes...
edit:
actually, now that i think about it - almost everyone but me drank when i was still at SJ. go figure

these are on the money. thanks, i'll be up late again tonight - but writing, not playing with a recently-released super-cool plasma rifle mod, so..

I found this on one of my favourite internet mags, "Gizmag"...

"THE WORLD'S LARGEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE SHIP"

It's destined to be the world's largest cruise ship ? when launched next year, Royal Caribbean's US$1.24 billion Project Genesis will be 1,180 feet long, and carry 5400 passengers (6,400 at a pinch). It's the most expensive ship in history, and it's longer, wider and taller than the largest ocean liner ever built, (Cunard's QM II), 43 per cent larger in size than the world's largest cruise ship, (Freedom of the Seas) and remarkably, bigger than any military ship ever built, aircraft carriers included. In a world where choice of amenities count, Project Genesis has yet anothert trump card ? in the the center of the ship is a lush, tropical park which opens to the sky.

We like the idea of living in the same space and changing the scenery outside, be it permanently (residential cruise ships or air vehicles) or part-time (cruise ships). Cruise ships are a relatively new phenomenon, born from reinventing many of the passenger liners made redundant by affordable air travel. Beginning with refitted ocean liners, cruise ships quickly evolved into purpose-built five star hotels, and then being the biggest meant having the most on-board amenities.

With its intention of taking the best of the land to sea the aptly-named Central Park spans the length of a football field. The aim is to make the park a public gathering place like a town's central park, with pathways, seasonal flower gardens and a canopy of trees. Aiming to give the ship a number of distinct districts, the Central park neighborhood is one of seven neighborhoods to be unveiled on Project Genesis. Each neighborhood will provide vacationers with the opportunity to seek out relevant experiences based on their personal style, preference or mood.

Central Park's central piazza will be the ship's "town square" which will evolve from a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere during the day to a gathering space for alfresco dining and entertainment in the evening, where guests will enjoy concerts and street performances. The neighborhood is lined with balcony staterooms rising six decks high with views of the Park below and the sky above.

Surrounding this social space will be an array of restaurants, with choices ranging from fine dining to casual chic. Guests will have the option of an elegant dinner at the new 150 Central Park or a picnic lunch from the more casual Central Park Caf?, where they can sit outdoors and people-watch. Other dining choices will include: Giovanni's Table, an Italian restaurant; Vintages wine bar; and Royal Caribbean's signature Chops Grille steakhouse. Several bars will be scattered throughout the Park, including the Canopy Bar, located at one of two impressive glass-domed canopies, and the unique Rising Tide bar - the first moving bar at sea.

Truly an engineering feat, Rising Tide will span three decks and allow cruisers to enjoy a cocktail as they slowly ascend into Central Park and then descend back into the public spaces below.

"Our brand identity is founded in innovation and on delivering the best cruise vacation through 'WOW' experiences," stated Adam Goldstein, President & CEO, Royal Caribbean International. "Central Park is a true evolution of cruise ship design and allows us to provide our guests with not only a more varied selection of balcony accommodations, but also a stunning public venue that will be a central element of the ship, both during the day and at night."

I was wondering...are the plans of this ship out yet? If so, Andy, might you be able to save some time by recycling some of those plans?

Bastards stole my idea :stare:
I hope the plans are out there somewhere. I'm gonna build it, put it in the add on, and sink it :flame:

:P
At least I'm visionary,
or just seeing things :wacko:


acolyte knows bossman sees things, cuz he sees Acolyte...

You and Acolyte Rock!

Hey, go to the Geeky Wedding for more comments by me on acolyte!

Yeah. Acky said he going anyway, but he'll lay off the chilli for a month as a precaution. So now he's gonna crash the party. Do you have any idea what it means for Acky to crash a party? Once he crashed a party in the late 80s in San Fransisco, and that resulted in the '89 quake..
I was thinking of letting him do the valet parking. As long as the parking lot has enough space we should be ok..
Maybe some ushering, since he now knows to escort people to their places and not pick them up and pass them like a football to there places...




Acolyte could swear he'd been told "Get them to their seats" not "Bring them to their seats"
There is a difference, y'know?

Double post, oh well..
I've been having less than perfect results in getting the .esp out to everybody. Seems 20megs is still something of a thing to email.. either my upload to gmail dies out or it's my home ISP giving me grief that 20megs is too large for any attachment.. pff. wait until it's done... then they'll having something to complain about..
So in the mean time I'm looking at hosting alternatives and working on a special wedding proposal you might have heard about. Since there's a time crunch on that and not on the Flying Dutchman I'm focusing everything on that for the next few weeks until I've finished what I'm doing and pass it onwards..

Meanwhile, not exactly a new NPC, but never the less..
they have a funny way of saying certain things on board.. call it their own dialect after 200yrs at sea.
It's really fooked up.
I'm not fooking kidding here..
they all say: to fook. It almost sounds Canadian, doesn't it?

My way of saying: thanks for a fooking great Mod, guys!

Andy




Acolyte doesn't [bad word] understand why the [bad word] [worse word] [worst word yet] are making such a deal about the [another bad word] "fooking"

Gmail has a limit on its attachments, and instead of telling you that you broke that limit, it tries to upload it, then just kinda stays there, never making progress, never saying its too big.

If you go to your settings and switch to the old uploader, it will tell you if you go past the limit.

Well, I went to settings general and set attachments from advanced to basic, if that's what you mean.

Lets hope it works, or at least tells me when I've reached my upload limit.
Thanks Morgalock!!

Andy

Try 7zip for better compression or split the archive into multiple volumes = multiple e-mails.
Alternatively upload it on some hosting solution and deal with the minor inconveniences of doing so (e.g. some stupid ads etc.).

What's the story of The Flying Dutchman? Is it a long abandoned military aircraft carrier currently being used by the Enclave? Perhaps modern pirates? Or perhaps, something spookier... <.<

A nefarious old ghoul took over a derelict old super tanker and now, from behind the scenes, tries to take over the world with the "Pinky", his somewhat retarded human sidekick. The ghoul, a former top secret lab employee has literally hundreds of ingenious plans on how to achieve world domination, not of few of which doomed from the beginning because of that little problem that said world went to pieces 200 years ago.
But "Brain", the ghoul, doesn't let such minor inconveniences interfere with proper planning.

The Pinky, the Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain... *hums*

:rofl:

aww man now I feel like watching it. Is it even aired anymore?

Unfortunatly no

But you can see it on that there interweb!
