Re: Aerie
It's worth it, Kierra. Your Age is beautiful.
Seems I have misunderstood this FTP server (I'm used to running bare-bones Linux servers but on this one I'm constrained by a cpanel). There doesn't seem to be a way of setting up anonymous ftp access.
Either ULM can use a passworded account for downloads (Trylon?) or I set it up on another server.
Anyway, right now anyone who wants the files can get them here:
http://bf1.ecgn.net/chacal/myst/ULM/Aerie/version1/
Just unzip them and copy them in your uru/dat folder. Then you can load them in ULM.

Yeah, it can. just write it down like: ftp://[username]:[passwd]@ftp.server.address/path/to/files
One day I ran through the cleft for the fiftieth time, and found that uru held no peace for me anymore.
Re: Aerie
Great!
Kierra, the ftp address is:
ftp://ulm@bf1.ecgn.net:myst@bf1.ecgn.net/Aerie/version1
This is tested with a FTP client and it works.

Re: Aerie
Wow! This age looks awesome! I'll have to download it to have a proper look when I can(I don't have tPotS on this computer yet).
Question: How did you go about making the vegetation? It looks awesome! It's something I've never quite figured out...

Re: Aerie
Trial and error. Lots and lots and LOTS of trial and error, LOL
Most of the plants are "billboard" style. It saves a LOT of memory, but you loose a lot in the way of realism and detail. Still trying to find a happy balance there.
Since a lot of textures aren't copyright free, I had to make a lot of the plant textures myself, and it really really helps to have a nice graphics program to use. My Paint Shop Pro 7 program is a bit out of date, but still works reasonably well. I've been using PSP for years, so I'm very comfortable with using it
Even then I had to experiment with stuff, see what worked, what didn't, and keep trying to make it look better. Still not exactly up to par, but its a work in progress.
