Comments - RavenNight

Great work. You can change the Nightsoft credit for the Pveer and Pvash to Raven Night. Looks good :)

Thanks. There is just something about doing it by hand instead of using tools. More "love" I suppose.

Ok, expanded a bit on the work into the fed area, specifically new work on refits for the Defiant, as well as a rework of the Nebuchadnezzar. I will try and post pics of my new work sometime this month.

Ok, Starforce and I had a conversation, and I need to post my latest work. I hope I can get it posted this week.

Worthy of note is my work on a Klingon BOP ship that grew from a rework of the Maveq. I'll post shots of that shortly.

Take your time guys. This is such a great mod I am willing to wait as long as it takes.

Great job, keep up the good work. I look forward to a walk down memory lane.

Yes, that concerns me as well. I would be ok with the use of the model, of course, as long as the author understands that the mod becomes Nightsoft property as a result.

For now im simply going to link to this mod. I await a response from the author.

My pleasure. I realize that some of the items I listed can be done with automated tools, but nothing existed for someone using simple paint programs or a desire, like I have, to just do it by hand.

Thanks, this is what I originally wanted to do with the HOK. I think the colors are closer to the TMP Qonos 1 now.

If you go to Bridgecommander.filefront.com you will find the instructions needed to install ships and mods into the game.

There are quite a few tools on the site, as well as tutorials to help you on your way.

Ok, I sent Shadowfleet (from Dynaverse) the link to this file, so it should be ready for SFC3 shortly. After that it will be quite a bit easier for Starforce (SFC/BC, BCFiles) to convert it to BC. Then I will work on getting it converted to Legacy and creating a low poly version for Armada 2.

I really should create low poly versions from the get-go to make the conversion to Armada much easier...

I have new versions of the C9A, as well as a standard fleet C9 and my new E7 if you would like to add them...I can send you the Max meshes.

Condolences for your loss. I look forward to your progress on this mod.

Well, not at this time. Although I have been approached many times about doing canon designs, I usually stick to fresh ideas. I might consider some canon work in the future, however.

Hey stress, its Raven. If you could use some alternate designs you are welcome to use mine. I am working on a few new designs and reworking the C-9A...just let me know, most of my models are in Max 5.5.

Well, you added the credit in the video, and havent released the version of the mod with my models in it, so I dont know what this person was talking about that came to me. You seem reasonable enough to me.

Your welcome to use any designs I have. The instructions are in the readmes that come with the original files as to the usage, or I can just post it here in shorter form if you like.

Some of the models are paid commercial ones, like the two you show in the video. Hence, Nightsoft has ownership of them, even though I created them (and im the boss ;))..im sure you understand how it works.

So they have different criteria then I do. My latest designs are all me.

For Nightsoft, you have to display proper credits for any pic, video or download. Normally the mod becomes property of Nightsoft if you use a product that Nightsoft owns in it...I have however secured an agreement not to do this in this case. So you can use the models as you see fit.

The nightsoft models say so in the readmes.

For my models you just give credit in the readme. I dont care how you use my models, as long as you dont sell them without my permission. My personal usage guidelines are much less stringent, but then again my models are free...so no cost, no worries.

There it is in a nutshell. That is why proper credit for the Maveq and HOK are important...my latest designs, not so much.

Yes, its the Maveq, a brel sized BOP for the Klingons post Nemesis. It was originally designed and built by me for the BC2 project. I intend on redoing the mesh shortly.

Oh yes, modding is still very active for Armada, Bridge Commander, Legacy, Elite Force and Starfleet Command. Ill be posting ports of all of my models as they come available.

This particular model was designed by myself and commissioned for use in the BC2 project. It was built and textured by a talented artist named LC Amaral.

Your right of course, I just came in here today, so had no idea it was in development. Regardless, you should have displayed it somewhere on the project pages that the Maveq and Heart of Kahless was designed and built by myself.

This is an odd reaction.

I was sent here by one of the fans of your mod. They saw two videos that contained two well known Klingon ships in the community, the C-9A and the Mavaq, but did not see any credit to the person that designed and built them both....me.

Apparantly people were posting comments about both models, completely unaware that you had not designed them.

I find it a little curious that you would somehow find it unreasonable that commercially owned models require proper credits displayed. I also find your reaction curious, especially considering I offered for you to have both of those models and my other designs as well.

So it seems you would rather remove my designs from your mod instead of posting a simple credit like:

Heart of Kahless and Maveq designed and built by Raven Night

If that is the case, so be it. But I would prefer you do not attempt to somehow blame Nightsoft, or myself for the delay. Providing proper credit is a long time tradition for modeling, is well known in the community and is expected. To expect the same from you is not unreasonable by any stretch of the imagination.

I wish you luck in your mod. If you change your mind and decide you would like the models, let me know and I will provide the new designs.

Thats actually an underneath view chris ;)

I would be willing to allow my Klingon and Romulan designs to be used in this mod. If you wish to do so, you can contact me by PM.

Hi, this is Raven Night, designer of the C-9A Heart of Kahless you have included in this mod. I see you have not given proper credits in the readme, please contact me asap so we can discuss this. Thanks.

Hi. My name is Raven Night, the creator of the C-9A Heart of Kahless you have included in this mod. Im not sure if you have secured permissions for this ship, please contact me at Ravennight-AT-hotmail.com so we can discuss this.

There might be one small problem...A ship in this mod, the C-9A Heart of Kahless we created by me for the BC2 project. Im not sure if I gave permission for its use in this mod. I will have to investigate, but I did notice that proper credit was not given in the readme.

I just wanted to point out a few things.

This ship is the C-9A Heart of Kahless designed by myself, Raven Night and produced for the BC2 project. Im not sure if permission was secured to use this model in this mod, but I am going to investigate.
