Okay, first of all use the lvlshot tags around large images.
Second, the screenshots are only so-so. Most of them have poor angles. There's good stuff, but take the time to get a decent shot. The ones of Ryx's carrier and the other Orion-esque ship were good, but those were about the only ones.
Another thing: remember what people were saying in the main forums. You have to be subtle about these things; don't release tons of screenshots as soon as you put the models in. We don't really need a shot of a support ship docking. Release a little bit of information at a time, build suspense and anticipation, that kind of thing. Most other user-made campaigns I've seen release new bits much more slowly.
-
Theres not a single shot of action... everythings just show us boring ships... a support ship docking with an apollo? jeez, use some creativity here.
-
That Vasudan whateveritis looks interesting (like an oversized Scarab) but there are some shots we could have done without, as has been mentioned. We've seen Athenas, Orions, and Apollos before.
-
But those aren't just Apollos!! They're......ummmmm......OLD Apollos!

:lol:
But seriously, we need action shots. Dump the stuff we've seen, and feature one good pic of something we haven't. Such as the Vasudan Hamburger. Make it mysterious, like a fuzzed-out vidcapture from a survey probe.
Matter of fact, I might be able to do that myself. I have the model. Give me until the weekend (I got other stuff to do first.)
EDIT: No, someone else make the screenshot. I'm busy. :D
-
If you are making screenshots I hope your using my special pause feature, it really lets you get what you want.
It will also let you get rid of the HUD as well:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,10811.0.html
Aside from that there seems to be a total lack of colour, someone should shove some nice (FS1 style perhaps) nebulas in there.
So nice, but a bit lacking in WOW!
-
Jeez, you guys should cut him some slack. Just because it doesn't feature lots of action doesn't make it boring! I really like the shots of the new ships, the whole thing looks pretty well done so far. Well done Thor!
-
wow cool
i love the new ships (the fenris like thing, its got a complicated name)
as well as the new destroyer and aldo's cutter (the skin rocks)
is it just me or are the maps hi-res, more so than regular fs2
the first 2 of the second post rock
from a pure graphical standpoint (which is all screenshots are) you guys are on the right track, the very right track
put some backgrounds on there btw, looks kinda barren
once again, great textures

AH! My baby!
-
I will use the tags when some one tells me how to:D
As for there in action and numerous volume, well I did read the main forums. They complained that there was no screens, and that for other projects, they always featured actions. This is a good start and we can release them at a slower rate.
I focused on ships because most of them haven't been seen before.
Oh, I did use the pause. I really like it. It kind of gives it a static-matrix feel while spinning around ships.

instead of
[ i m g ] ... [ / i m g ]
use
[ l v l s h o t ] ... [ / l v l s h o t ]

Cool! will you be pouting the new working missions up for DL soon?
-
who made the leo? i would like to use it in a campaign, but want to give credit.
-
Some guy named Hamano. Give credit to Woomeister skinning it. Also, could you wait until the main release of the Unification War demo until you release your campaign.

Would it be ok if people could make missions for the mod that are like single missions for it to test all the cool new stuff out?

middle ship is jummmmy

Certainly, as I didn't include any good ones. I have absolutely no objections to that. You can even make a small campaign, but don't rename any of the new ships, and use them in other time periods yet. Also, if you do make a campaign, don't release it to the public until I look at it and see if it is canon.
-
Loads of this stuff has new names. We took out Aldo's cutter, but then we put it back in. :D
The Leo is now the Atropos. Later in the V-T War, it will be upgraded ( Much like the fenris>Leviathan) into the GTFg Sovereign.

The attachment is just the .jpg. I had to upload it there 'cause I don't have an FTP prog i can figure out at the moment. For some reason, I can't work CuteFTP.

Could you just make the middle of the ship bigger? I mean in terms of X-Z it looks funny to me that all the other ships in FS1 and 2 don't stay so thin all the time I mean this in the best intrst of the mod so please don't get mad other than that littile thing It's bad ass! :eek:
-
I couldn't quite understand that sentence/paragraph.
But from what I understand:
It is a finished model. Unless somebody wants to do it. You guys have seen this before, and have even gotten the model. It is supposed to be long and thin. That makes it look fast and able to dish out some damage. Here is another ship, the Galactic Terran Battle Cruiser. It would have been BattleShip, but GTBS sounded like Galactic Terran Bull****.
I can't decide between these two texture schemes. What do you guys think?
Number one
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp\hosted\14_year_war\Alecto.jpg)
Number two
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted\14_year_war\Alecto2.jpg)
The Alecto will have one huge ion cannon thingy in the front, some standard turrets and heavy AAA Turrets all over the rest of teh hull. The Alecto will also have a large torpedo launcher.
-
#1.
Wasn't that the Grendel model? Where did it originally come from?
I'm not sure it looks Freespace-y enough, though. Someone else said the same before, in the first screenshot thread.
-
I don't think it looks that Freespacy either, but we aren't doing Freespace, this could be in the Unification War. Maybe it can be the main ship of the PRM. It is slated for power, not tactical deployment or defense.
-
Eh, let's stick with what we've got, I think. I'm not sure I want to go adding ships left and right.
-
I have a reason for adding this one.
Everybody shouldn't rely on one ship class, the Atropos. We need something that can kick ass, but is still fast. The Alecto can get in, deal damage, and get out. It can even strike at carriers. if an Atropos goes against a carrier, no more Atropos.

Ah... tis the Qwaar-Jet class Heavy Cruiser! Re-skinned!
Cool lookin' tho... :yes:

:wtf:
No. Carriers should be lightly armed. They're meant for transporting fighters, not for battle. They can be heavily armored, but they ought to be far outgunned by an Atropos. Two Atroposes should be able to take down a Constellation easily, and four should be able to take down a Sagittarius. Even one Atropos ought to be able to destroy a Constellation given a good escort and sufficient time.
By the way, I found another Earth background on my hard drive. Have a look.
-
^---- Hey, that's mine.
-
Whoops, so it is. That's the problem of having two non-synchronized screenshot threads. :o
*double take*
Hey, it's you again! Go away, I'm supposed to be ignoring you!
;)
-
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/ITHOV/tvwp/image9.jpg)
Is that a black "nose cone" on the front ?
-
Yeah. The Valkyrie shortened it and rounded it off.
Oh, and by the way, I suggest the staff look over Port 2 when it comes out. Lots of changes and updates you'll want.
-
Ooh goody. When? ;7
[Ignoring has been temporarily disabled - I don't want to miss new stuff from the FSPort :D]
-
You had me ignored? :(
Check the Port page and/or forum for updates. It should be out this month.
-
that's BAAAAADDD... ignoring GE :)
-
I hate the way Ignoring works. I tried to ignore vadar_1 (before he got busted:D ) and it wouldn't let me 'cause he was a moderator.

No, no, no! Sorry for the confusion. No. What I meant was to hearken back to that thread where you had put "bumping old threads = bad" and I put "*ignores GalacticEmperor*" right before I replied. The intended effect was for me to lightheartedly dismiss your post because I wanted to continue replying to the thread. When you responded, "Ignoring me, eh? *sharpens axe*" I thought I'd continue the comedic banter.
That was a day or two ago. Since then, I brought up the fact that I was "ignoring" you whenever I posted a reply to a thread you had posted in. I didn't put you on an ignore list (I didn't even know HLP had one), I was just kidding around. Now that I see that there was an alternative interpretation of "ignore", that may not have had the effect I had hoped. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :o
By the way, please see this post
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,11880.msg221217.html#msg221217
where I officially "pardoned" you from the "ignoring" that I had persisted in up until then. :)
-
I kind of like the nose cone on the Angel.
-
This is a little (Evil) teaser pic I took. I blurred out the new ship(You probably haven't bothered with it, though it was made public). Once I get permission from my team, then we might release the unblurred pic. This pic shows mostly the new (centered) shield icon for the Mustang Alpha. The Mustang Beta icon loks just like that, but it has added missile bays.
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/14_year_war/screenshots/blurred.jpg)
Don't you just hate me?;)
Anyway, expect a full pic of the GTF Viper soon. Sorry, but I can't release any more of our new backgrounds. :(
