ARGH!!!

I'll fix this as soon as I can, I forgot it was 128.

and I haven't had time to do much with either the space dragons or the bubble wizzards. I just started a new job at a new Gamestop they built near me and I've been busy all day these past couple of weeks training and stuff. I had to help set the store up for the past three days. My eyes are bleeding practically, I spent the Last 9 hours "gutting" all the used PSX games(remove them from their original cases, put the disc in sleeves label them with a price tag and a 'this case is empty' sticker and put the empty case on the shelf, and then file the disc sleeve in a drawer in alphabetical order

). I've spent most of my free time working on the Azlokians. The "bubble wizards" was just me brainstorming. I read "magic" and thought wizard. They were never meant to go very far, I had no Idea what spell jamer was. I don't think I'll develope the "bubble wizards" any further, and If I do, there not that high a priority(not before I finish the space dragons and the space moths and the swarm).

EDIT: Check your private Messages Kodos, I need to know what format you want the models in.

Fyron, Continuing our IM discussion here, what do you think of these ships as "mechanical" ships for your Adamant mod? :

^they started as UFO's sorta but I started taking another direction with them. They are OLD, they predate the swarm, these are the first ships made with Doga L1 but I abandoned them when I thought up the Swarm. It shouldn't take to much to finish them, they are simple but cool.

Now these are the Pirates I told you about but here tey are displayed instead of in a zip file:

Will these look good in your "opening Screen" pic?

Very nice work!

I think those "mechanical" ships could work well as a Mechanoid race (which is much more than simple plague protection in Adamant).

I bought a couple of newbie books on HTML and I want to maybe set up my own website, nothing to fancy just a few pics of what I'm working on and a couple of links to the zip files here. What kind of program do I need to actually edit and design a website? Do I ned some special compiler or editor or something? Also What's a good free host, I was thiking Geocities, but if you got a better Idea please let me know.

And I'm going to call the below "mechanical" shipset the "Machina" (I think that's pronounced like Maw-kee-na.) Acording to this here dictionary I'm holding "Machinations" are an evil scheme or plot, that sounds cool, plus I really like the Last Smashing Pumpkins Album

other people have said that you only need a text editer to edit html. i havn't made a website, though.
should this post go in the useless information thread?

The minimum is a text editor to make the web page (any text editor will do) and a web browser to view it (again, any old browser will work). However, if you want to build a complex website, you may want to hunt up a utility somewhere. Oddly, Microsoft Word has an option to make a web page out of a document (File-Save as-Select HTML from the drop-down box) if you just want to post a few pictures, some text, and a few links.

You could do what David E. Gervais appears to do - upload the HTML to the forums and link to them in your signiture. The Advantages: Size limit is per file only, ~ 30 MB; No advertising by the host; No host fees. Disadavantages: cannot edit a file once it is posted, can only upload a new one; the filenames are controlled by the Bulitin board, and are set to arbitrary numbers (so you must upload all of your pictures and other files to the forums before you write the web page, which also means you will need to use a text editor and make the HTML by hand); must have the extesion be .htm (as opposed to .html - not a big liability at all).
