Garry's Mod
TARDIS (Legacy)
Player made models?
Hello everyone;

Dr. Matt, the continued work on this addon by yourself and Benjamoose is impressive to say the least, and I very much like the addition you two have made of multiple exteriors for the TARDIS. However, I have a question (which I've put into the Feature Requests page, but that page tends to update pretty quickly, and I feel it'd be better to have here for clarity).

Changes in the prop aside, the exterior of the TARDIS has taken some alternate shapes over the series run and its extended universe. If a fan makes a model of the exterior from one of these changes, from something as minor as the pink exterior (from the Happiness Patrol) or the white/black exteriors (from Big Finish's series), or to go so far as to make an entirely different shape, such as the default pillar form (from "Name of the Doctor") or the Jade Pagoda escape pod (from the New Adventures novels by Virgin Books), would you consider adding it in to the mod proper? Or would these simply have to be skins that would be applied via the model manipulator?

Thanks for your time, and apologies for reposting this question here. Many thanks to Benjamoose for his very fine work on the mod's models and skins, too. :-)

P.S. I am not implying that I have anything that could match Dr. Matt's nor Benjamoose's work, nor that I could (although I hope to at least try, if I can figure the respective programs out). This is more to open up the possibility for new models for the exterior without making silly and or complicated requests of Benjamoose, who has already mentioned that this is a hobby of his.

I'll add new skins for the current model, but separate models I don't think i'll be doing, at least for now.

Thank you very much for offering. :-) I have a few ideas if you want any, although they're all recolors (and all from the Seventh Doctor's era, oddly enough).

Happiness Patrol Pink TARDIS?

Big Finish White or Black TARDIS?

Most of these are just basically the main body of the TARDIS painted a different color, while the "Police Public Call Box" sign stays blue and white. The Happiness Patrol TARDIS is a bit difficult to make out if the sign on the door stays the same, however, and in the case of the black TARDIS from Big Finish, the door sign's color is ambiguous (particularly because we only ever get it half on the cover art, and the only art I can find of it on its own is small and dubious of its officialness). However, the white TARDIS has a white door-sign with black writing. Normally this sign is blue with white writing.

The causes for these are different, though:

The Happiness Patrol simply has the TARDIS be painted pink by the titular patrol. It doesn't last the episode that it's applied.

In Big Finish' case, it's a tad more complicated; the black and white TARDISes are actually seperate time machines, with the white one being the Doctor's original TARDIS with the original blue shell having been torn off due to an accident with the HADS (the white exterior is effectively a new one that's growing back, but the blue pigment has taken a while to come to it). The black one...is a mite tougher to explain, especially since it involves spoiling the whole plotline regarding it. They both sound the same in audio though.
Where can I get the default texture for the mod? I want to see how fast it takes for me to give up on editing it.
