List of FANSITES

[Cybergod]

I think that in the many years since Alpha Centauri's release, many, many fansites that sprang up. I think that there should be a thread here, at Apolyton, which will give a list of all fansites so everyone can visit them and everyone can share even more of the SMAC "experience". Preferably, this thread should be labeled "Top".

I'll start first - moi's favourit site:

The Network Node (version3): http://networknode.org

Signing out, hoping for others to list their favourite sites, or even advertise their own

[Googlie]

OK - with that kind of an invitation .....

I maintain 2 sites:

The Spartan Chronicles

http://googlie2.tripod.com//spartanchronicles/

Which, as the name implies, is largely devoted to the collaborative fiction work, The Spartan Chronicles. Some other goodies are thgere too (Vel's pre-release strat guide, maps, etc)

and

Rynn's Gallery

http://googlie2.tripod.com//rynnsgallery/

Which contains downloadable single-player games and scenarios of varying levels of difficulty

[TeknoMerc]

the only other one I can think of is The Chironian Guild at:

http://guild.ask-klan.net.pl/eng/index.html

you guys nailed all the others I know about. the unfortunate thing is that there used to be several more active SMAC sites that have now closed down. so if there are any other active sites out there, I sure would like to visit them!

does anyone know if Mike Johnson is still running his site? the old one is shut down, but that may just be due to graduation.

[Cybergod]

Hello, if you can hear me Smack, I forgot the address for your Aldeb thing (Actually I'm both too lazy to look it up and I want to force you to post here )

[Velociryx]

I'd have to second brother Googlie's nominations!

Hey guys...back again....having survived vacation, the terrorist attack, and the wilds of the Off-topic forum....whew...no place like home, that's for sure!

[RedFred]

Since there are always new people coming here, I will point out that Vel himself has a site which includes, among other things, SMAC discussion forums. Click on his "www" above.

[RedFred]

...and don't forget Planet ACOL. Their SMAC discussions have dwindled considerably but they remain an excellent spot for MP games.

[Velociryx]

Thanks Red...my lil' homestead on the web hasn't seen many visitors of late, and I MUCH appreciate the plug!

[mark13]

....just a quick note to point out that CGN shall not be dead for too much longer....

Shall also second Googlie's nominations....and Vel's site isn't bad either, I suppose

[Avenoct]

Cybergod, you can't make me post here...and I won't!

Hey, where is that address for Aldebaran?

Oh yeah... I remember going on your site LONG time ago. This is where are some scenarios that Ned should look up, to get inspiration for his "idea" on a WW2 scenario.

BTW, I didn't know Rynn was a super-model

[Cybergod]

Here ya go folks!!! My site is crappy put it functions!

http://datatechhome.topcities.com/index.htm

It is in it's extreme alpha version so please watch until it is finished...

BTW, it is announcing my upcoming Mod - the Ultramind! You will hear more about this later on...

[Alynzia]

I have recently started my own homepage, and wanted to put some Alpha Centauri content on it. (I have not already - so don't bother visiting) I was just curious if on your fansite you are allowed to use the in-game art work. And if you are allowed, do you put something like 'copyright Firaxis Games' under each picture?

Please excuse my extreme retardedness on this matter. But I do think someone should keep this thread bumbed regularly, because it is really useful.


Alynzia

[Cybergod]

Alynzia, I don't think so, because (just using the site as an example) when you look at the Node TV at the Network Node, you will see many original SMAC graphics used in many humourous ways! I myself will include many "Firaxis" graphics but will not give copyright BUT I will say that the site is a fan site to "one of the best ever strategy games: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire Expansion Pack". But I remmember that the Chironian Guild has a "Credits/Legal" page, but I've never visited it so I need to

Anyway thanks for reminding me to check this issue up before I go along and get banned everywhere I go

[TresXF]

hi cyber, do you have some details about your upcoming 'ultramind' mod?

btw, i linked your site

[Cybergod]

Thanx Tres! I'll link to yours soon, when I learn some proper html *SIGH*

BTW the mod is itself finished, it is just me adding more of the in-game graphics and testing it whether it is top-notch or whether factions are overpowering. Which brings to mind something else - should I run a public beta test, like Smack (or as he's known nowardays - Avenoct ) ? I'd like to, but I'll post later, on another thread...

ANd how is STS9 mod doing?

[TresXF]

well, i suggest to give it to some ppl which can test it for you. instead of public beat-testing i prefer to come up with a full version. but that's just my personal opinion

btw, i upped a bunch of new screens, you should get an impression how the tc will be (despite the fact that all screen texts are in german )
