Dark Horizon T2/Starsiege/Tribes Mod

For all those who don't know me I go by the handle MIB-IzzY or (Men in Black) one of the old squads on Starsiege. I have been working on DTS files for about a year and a half now...; and when I say working on them I don't me torque. I started out spending months creating them from hexidecimal (that's impossible you might say?) There's tutorials on my site how to do it. Anyway enough bragging. I am a modder;; not a game maker. I started modding starsiege about 2 years ago but have been playing it since 1998. I pretty much mastered modding Starsiege and herc creation and the dts hierachy. Then I was graciously asked to join the Dark Horizons community by Adrian Wright and Logan Foster. I Started on the "New" form of DTS files created with the torque engine and was very impressed. Since then I have came up with some awsome ways to animate shapes, with or without bones, and found some amazing things.

In order to help DHL grow I decided to combine 3 of my all time loves in this world as a gift to the gaming community. #1 Starsiege. #2 Tribes #3 Tribes 2.
Me and my staff members at www.starsiegemods.com are well on our way to creating a mod for Dark Horizons that will combine all three of these games. We are incorporating all the origional Hercs from Starsiege as a "MOD" and also 100 of the Tribes 2 shapes, and the origional tribesmen from Tribes 1. We already have the Tribes 2 portion of the mod done... Have put the goad and the Emancipator from Starsiege in DHL and the Tribesmen won't be long awaited. Here is a screen shot of the mod:

We will be beta testing the mod this Friday night..(the tribes 2 portion of it).. Let me know if you would like to test it: www.starsiegemods.com ... see you all on Dark Horizons Lore.


Thank you,
MIB-IZZY-SST2

I know this post died over a year ago but I thought I would bring it back for just a second. I was wondering how to go about modeling new stuff for Tribes 1. Its a classic and my friend and I still love this game. We can make anything by scripting but now want to include our own items and weapons in our mods. Anyone know what the method is for getting new models in the game? Thanks in advance.
