Yes we know. Now please, could you perhaps stop whatever it is that motivates you to post your 'i want' queries onto my showthread. There are many who are waiting for this mod, one of which was keen enough to actually help me in the beginning and deliver me an Alien queen and other such 'Useful' things. I won't mention his name. Can you not see i'm busy elswhere also?

Fear not, i understand your level of excitement for this franchise, afterall there would be NO such mods for the movies if  i weren't as keen enough to get this kickass job done.

Now come on, let this thread curl over, and 'wait' patiently for any other updates.

yea it has been a long time and we have been waiting patiently, wouldnt mind a update on how the mods are going

I wouldn't mind an update either come too think of it. Nah, iv'e only just got back online after months off lack of money, broken connection cable, and another Fused CRT. I can't upload if i can't get online mate.

I'll get it rippi'n soon, get back into it. I know iv'e been going around, 'givi'n it all this ' an givi'n it all that about mods and promises.

There's a shed load of stuff i have accomplished since, and i t would be a shame not to release them . So sit tight, cause im back.

well then, welcome back!!  been wondering what happened

---

shoni sorry to hear of your troubles, but I am glad to here you are back online and working on your preds and stuff

---

Sorry to hear that. Whenever new updates arrive they'll deifnately be worth the wait.

---

so, Shoni, givin your current point in making these mods, can you "estimate" a release date??

---

Sorry about all the drama, mate. Take your time with the modding. Even if it takes 6 or even 9 months before you release the predator/alien mods, even if ever, there is no rush.

Cheer's  ubs. Your right on the 'taking up' the more relaxed point of view when it comes to things like this, hell i do.

Yah, i won't rant on about unseen progress to you guys, espeially at the moment. But if your wondering why i have taken some real time on this, let me explain with what iv'e been doing, from the top of my head here;

1. Predator costumes - Updates over the first pack.  More proportionate bodies.  AVPR predators - NOT just the wolf, the two costumes that were seen at the beginnng in the spacecraft.  Constant research  into the whole design of the species, Watching shed loads of clips, capturing no end of screenies.  Custom 'Shoni's' Predator's - My very own styled armour, alongside similar weapons, all kinds of ***. All the gear made seperately, to stick on movie syle avp sets, and custom sets; (Trophy room, pilot room, hybrid birth platform. Homeworld sets, alternate poly counts for each 'already named' (For max animations, and game engine stability.  All looking as real as possible.

2. Alien; - Original Domed Head, Rigged Head, Both in alternate colours, Runner, AVPR style predalien, Custom style predalien (MY own design), CUSTOM Aliens - from Hybrids out of fictional planets from my AVP War movie series. 

3. Alternate categories (STUNT category) - a collection of aliens, predators, and My faction marines, all either Made to look dead or severly wounded. For instance, a predator with an alien tail up his jacksy, through his chest, a skinned predator, a headless predator, tortured looking aliens with spears through them, all blood stained, skinned humans, all pretty grim and sick stuff.

4. Props; As i mentioned before, props here, there and everywhere; Stuff for max, majority for the movie; small and large, all mostly exist on costumes. But, for instance; Fachugger (Forgot to mention they are in teh STUNT Category alos; on faces obviously). Facehuggers in predator tanks, broken tanks, new blood pools, slime pools, broken set pieces.  Except for the spaceship i created (MAX ONLY) didn't make a low poly version of the updated one. Took me hours of research getting this too look right. (Btw, the one youv'e seen already was a pile of crap, ain't seen the new one), and your not havi'n it either.   That's for flying animations in max to stick into my movies.

5. Sets, already mentioned the AVPR ones, but i'll let you know i started on the pyramid sets a long time ago too, and mapped these instead. Look cool with normal bakes an all that stuff. The idea was i could re-arrange, add, manipulate and retexture these for use as the predator HOMEWORLD sets also. So two birds with one stone on this. And that's where i'm left revising existing stuff you see, this is where more time i WASTE. Simply deciding on wheter i should re-map to allow for re-design purposes, or leave them alone?

6. Overlays-  Well sort of, but i don't need them know, i use Magix, Wmm, and particle illusion to Create titles, creadits, visual and special effects for my movies. Also use Green BOX features for a cloaked predator. (Not included in costumes unfortunately. But will produce one for those of you who haven't these kind of software advantages. Same goes for overlays.

And that's it. But that's not all yet should i say. The situation is still in need of a organizing, need to pacth and piece everything up.

There, are you sort of happy with informatiion now, ooh and considering, you try and work out a realease date buddy. Yeah, most gonna try.

Wow what an effort, looking forward to them, thanks by the way.

man, mods shure do take A LOT of time

Dude, I downloaded the three predators file (Scar, Celtic and Chopper), and unzipped the file to the Movies "Data" folder, but when I run the game, it's not there? What folder do I unzip the files to?

Hou haven't set the category for the costumes properly. This one comes with it's own addon category, and thus needs to be added manually via the main.

Look for the file

'Category.INI' inside YOUR data folder.
----------------------------------------------
[category_Yaut'Ja]
cat = category_Yaut'Ja
-----------------------------------------------

Paste the text boxed, at the bottom of the file specified. Don't copy the Category INI provided in the download unless you have no other costume addons present, as this will overwrite the categories and you will loose other custom costumes.

Just copy everything into its appropriate older, i can't see why else it won't work. : - )

it's supposed to be part of some big pack mod......

thinking of that......

would you release them in:
Predator pack
Alien pack
prop pack
and set pack??
or are you just gonna keep it as a huge download??

Computer problems matey, iv'e haven't managed to access my modding computer for about...yes a year, sounds about right.

I would love to just fire up the Movies again. But things change i suppose. If i could get what i had slipped up onto USB for transfer i would happily upload. I'm still around, but i just can't soddi'n do anything.

Such a shame.

What a shame. I know how you feel. I had computer problems too once, and lost a movie that was 75% complete,lots of retextures and overlays. It took hours and days to do all that stuff and it was all lost to the blue screen of death.  
Needless to say for me, it made me angry and I kinda lost interest in the Movies after that. 
Lately, been thinking about getting back into the movies.

I wish you luck gaining access to those mods someday. Such a shame to lose that much awesome work.
Darned computers.

wish someone would release more predator mods...... i'm scripting a new predator movie right now and don't really want to use the "big head" predator costumes.....
