After some discussions about green shivans from cutscenes and cbanims/fs1 alpha I decided to start working on them... Here's a result:

Bah, only the FS1 Shivans should be green. The FS2 Shivans were always red, the FS1 Shivans started off green.
Also, they weren't completely green. There were bits of super-glowy white stuff too.
-
I like. I wanted to see green shivans. Now we only need their primaries changed to green too ( and the Prometheus to red ). It would own :p
I'll be watching this.
-
But only for FS1 stuff, I mean the FS2 ones just won't work. They'll look like another insect species assimilated by the Borg. (if they were light blue, they'd be assimilated by the Mobius :shaking:)
-
I say go for all of them. You know you want to. And I'd give anything to replay the FS2 campaign with the Shivans green instead of red. And their weapons green included.
Hmm... This gives me idea to recolour everything. Green shivans and their weapons, white beam cannons and weapons for terrans. And Vasudans- dislike them, gonna leave yellow.
And what would we have red in FS2 then ? Sathanas, Ravana, a few fighters. Which wouldn't fit in red then.
And blue Shivans... hard even to imagine them like that.
P.S. One time I saw a video. Someone mis-typed the name Lucifer and typed it as 'Sucifer'. Immediate idea - pink Lucifer with rainbow coloured beams, and a red heart in front. Damn, it was such a disturbing thought...
-
I'm planning to release it with green effects for weapons/trails/etc
-
There's something green in the Shivans(Asmodeus) but I comment the reskins with a "meh". Is there a theory serving as backup?
-
Extract all the green glowmaps from the mediavps, run imagemagick on them, make new vp and call it "Green Shivans". :D
-

In the context of my theory (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Snail%27s_Theory), it could be that one Shivan race encountered a highly advanced race of spacefarers which used some energy that was green in color. It was better than the red energy the Shivans used, so they wiped out that species and used their technology.
My theory is adaptable. ;7

:lol:

Whoareyoulaughinat?

All I care anyway is that Shivan guns don't impact my hull or the ships in my escort list. No time to think where they come from or why are they green or red. But I enjoy seeing how they look. Shivan ships look awesome.
Flaming_Sword, can you give me a link to imagemagic?

Captured shivans huh? ;)
Looking nice anyway!

The Terrans are weird, being green, blue, orange and purple everywhere.

gay rainbow people! that's why the shivans attacked us. :p

On topic...
I don't care for the Shivans being green, especially the FS2 ones. The Shivans look better red IMO.
-
I think they look great, but i wouldn't use them unless there was a proper fleet of ships like that... you know, no ships that don't look right.
And the second an admin comes on, my forces are dead... but flipside and the other admin wouldn't do that... would they?

I think it's rather anthropocentric to assume that humans are more diverse as a species than other races.
This is a very common mistake in science fiction.

You're just angry when other people try to implement some humour. And since you have time to participate in this "spam", you obviously don't have anything meaningful to do either. So get to work.
I might also add that since I'm a tech support dude around here, the amount of to-do varies greatly and unexpectedly. Right now there aren't any newbs in distress.

So that means that we are still spamming, even if we aren't even posting? Cool.
By the way, has anyone ever mentioned you're not giving a good impression by constantly calling people useless spammers and idiots? Or am I wrong and it's actually a compliment?
-
I'm not spamming, I'm clarifying once and for all.
Jokes may be funny but they get annoying if they last too long.
Do you really want to keep that crap up? Take in consideration the fact that I find it disturbing.

That's real life for you. Deal with it.

Now that we're on that topic, I find big fonts in signatures disturbing.

1) Good for you, then.
2) Deal with what?
3) Yeah, yeah...since when lightblue is disturbing? You never look at the sky, then? (about the color)
Ok, then. I'm going to change it. Unlike you, I can still take someone's complaints in consideration.(about the font)
-
Guh... Now your sig's smaller than mine. i'll have to do a bit of downsizing.
-
Anyway...
I've always liked the idea of green Shivans, but the screenshots from FS1's early development didn't convince me it could actually work.
These, on the other hand, look awesome. I'd be very tempted to use these if you finish the whole fleet.
-
While we're on the topic of things that annoy us:
i find messing with the type in your post annoying.
-
Wait one second...what about a Green legion of the Shivan fleet? Something like a separate but still "Shivan" clan with its own characteristics(if you're planning to change something)? ;)
-
Stuff from Lobo and Mobius
Dang people, you fight like an old married couple.

That we do indeed. I want a divorce.
Oh, right. The actual topic. I dunno... that green sure gives some "organic" aspects to the ships, but red is still more intimidating and "cool", in my opinion.
-
Lobo, Mobius, and Snail... like... like... a couple brothers and sisters.

Did you read that other post about my theory? And how that particular fleet could have encountered some big bad ugly guys and stolen their technology?
Lobo, Mobius, and Snail... like... like... a couple brothers and sisters.
When you factor Inferno Alliance Internal into the equation, Lobo is negligible.
-

The problem with red is it's pretty much the generic 'EVIL ALIENS' colour. Because red means bad.

Quite, but still. Green doesn't convince me that the Shivans are an ancient threat that is sure to cause pain and misery. Some dark-ish blue might give a good and cold feeling, but green... it just doesn't work. But I say again. My opinion. Feel free to disagree. There's nothing wrong with it.

Edit: Goddamn mother****ing ***** typos. To hell with this ****...
Green makes them less stereotypical as the red baddies, but I agree on that, partially. I think the idea of a separate fleet or something is the most plausible one.
One problem I see with the reskins is that they're not varied enough. For the Shivans to be green, I always imagined a mix of a few other colors too, like the end cutscene Lucifer.
Edit: Goddamn mother****ing ***** typos. To hell with this ****...
Quite the charmer, eh?

Orions have some orange on them.
Terran ships are predominantly green, brown, grey and black though. The Orion is an oddball in terms or colorization.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I see your point.
-
last post: Don't you mean authors tend to use the same designs because it's easier than having a very creative alien species that can have even custom ships for some pilots? (a sudden thought of a "low rider" dragon assaulted my mind there o.o) not that it would matter for the shivans being all so "hive-mind" and stuff (for the record, i don't like that theory, just seems to be a more accepted thing)
for the spamming: JEEZ! you have been warned more times than i would like to count to leave your quarrels to PM's, though they are very funny to read XD
Mhhh, when i saw the images in green i thought "who the hell sneezed on that?!" they look too insect type, the red does look more "evil"... also the green ones look quite not scary, just a bit annoying, while a red and black ship looks more nightmare like... Again, this is just an opinion and is open for anyone to bash it (like if i could stop you XD)
-

But then we once again get on the "Let's do it like everyone else" track. The Earthlings are always depicted as a diverse species, with numerous nationalities, religions and groups of all sorts. And aliens are always monotonous species that have on nation, one religion, one goal and no diversity whatsoever. Though I admit that creating a new species with as much diversity as humans is surely a challenge for anyone, regardless of the imagination.

Well, he started it! :nervous: And besides. Hadn't the administrators found this quite hilarious and entertaining, they would have already applied some lockage/splittage.

No, I agree with Mobius here. Using a small pool of designs for your enemies makes them more iconic, recognizable, and threatening. Consider the TIE Fighter/Star Destroyer, the Borg Cube, the...er, I can't think of any more at the moment, but I believe the principle stands!

I did a simple recolour of glowmaps using imagemagick. Unfortunately, not all the textures are glowmapped, so some ships or parts of them are still red until I can make glowmaps out of them too. So far I have been unable to automate glowmap creation from existing textures (me being the n00b that I am). The green glowmaps had to be saved in RLE compressed tga, as full green is transparent in FS2.
-
Blucifer!
...hm, there's an idea... color-cycling glowmaps, shifting from blue to cyan to green and back again...
-
Gaybow beamz................
I like the BLucifer, It makes me think of pounding pounding techno music.....
Couloured glowmaps are very esy to do.....
-
Wierd, i actually like all of this.
-
So that's how the Shivans won. They blinded everyone with RAINBOW BR1GHT colors and attacked before dark goggles became standard issue.
-
I like the BLucifer, it looks cold and indifferent.
-
I just noticed your Ravana is non-HTL...
There's a fixed version of the HTL one I think, or it somehow fixed itself, since I can disarm them now XD

Huh? BengalTiger is using the same mod as Flaming_Sword? :wtf:
Oh wait, he just hue/sturation'ed the whole image (I can see that the LOD Text is pink not blue)
I still like the red ones best, then the green.
-
Blue one looks awesome. Good thing I asked Flaming_Sword to make the Lucifer blue ^^
And he doesn't use the 3.6.10 mediavps, so doesn't have the HTL Ravana. So currently, it get's in conflict with the HTL one...
Red ones are best though. We're most used to see Shivans in their natural colour. But you got to admit though, green looks good too and some change in a while is good. Unless the weapons and thrusters are red with the green glow-maps...

Ships are pretty much done, haven't started on weapons (someone else might want to do those, actually). My process also allows for custom colours, so feel free to make requests. :D
-
Yes ! White ! Now I've seen everything, and just what I wanted ! Thanks.
-
Can we get a midway between minty blue and royal / navy blue?
That would be preferable to my eye :D
-
Give me the exact colour (preferably in HSV). Otherwise you'll have to rely on me trying to guess.
EDIT: Examples here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors
-
But only for FS1 stuff, I mean the FS2 ones just won't work. They'll look like another insect species assimilated by the Borg. (if they were light blue, they'd be assimilated by the Mobius :shaking:)
In all seriousness, I consider doeing Blue shivans...
-
To shiv_pl:
I've got complete ship colour packs for the 7 colours I posted ready to go. You planning on doing any weapon effects? If so, I can send you the green pack to play with first. Otherwise I might stick a 7z up on FreeSpaceMods.net and call my part done.

Looks like the Shivans know how to throw a Disco too ;)

Blue Shvians would look wicked sick.
The yellow one's really ravey looking.

Do people think I should release each colour separately, or as a bunch of vps in one 7z?

Have them in 1 7z archive, but the different colours categorised ( like 'BlueMaps', 'GreenMaps', etc. ).

:wtf:
1. You don't put anything to the \freespace\ folder, apart from the retail vps, the FSO executables, the Launcher and maybe the FS2 cutscene pack.
2. The map pack entry states that it requires 3.6.8 MediaVPs. There are two sets easily available at the moment: the 3.6.8 Zeta and the 3.6.10 Beta. By saying that you have 3.6.9, you are obviously referring to your FSO build. And if you are using the 3.6.9 build, it is highly likely that you have the 3.6.8 Zeta MediaVPs.
-
So it won't normally work on 3.6.10 Mediavps ? Figures... I guess I need to get imagemagick and do everything myself.
-
You can try, but I don't know how well it will work since I don't have the 3.6.10 mediavps. I'm not planning to support the 3.6.10 mediavps until they're out of beta (and have those nice new bombs :)).
-
Then I guess I really have to do it myself, cause otherwise I'd have to wait for quite a while.
-
is it possible to have both mediavps, and one is mediavps and the other mediavps 2, then you rename them whenever you need to switch? cuz i don't have the 3.6.8 mediavps anymore.
oh, and what does it mean by zeta?
-
Then where does it go, because I used to play with the Pyro-GX and Scooby Doo's ships just by putting the .vp in the FreeSpace 2 folder.

1. Yes.
2. The release thread for the 3.6.8's still exists on the FreeSpace Upgrade Project board.
3. Dunno. Some random Greek(?) alphabet.
Then where does it go, because I used to play with the Pyro-GX and Scooby Doo's ships just by putting the .vp in the FreeSpace 2 folder.
Generally it is good to have any non-retail files in subfolders. That is why you put all Derelict files to \freespace\derelict. Because if everything is in the \freespace\ folder, the files will fight for dominance and priority. And if some campaign for example has its own table files, it will mess up everything else, including the FS2 campaign. And the FreeSpaceMods page for these new ships suggested that you throw the desired colour to your mediavps folder. So, put them to \freespace\mediavps.
Technically, you can continue to put stuff to your \freespace\ folder, but it requires you to constantly move stuff around, since it is likely that some mods will interfere with others. That is why it is so handy to have 'em all in subfolders that you can use with the Launcher.
-
And they don't work on 3.6.10 mediavps. Only the Lucifer looks normal. The HTL Ravana looks funky though ( part red, part blue ).
-
I've been persuaded to grab the 3.6.10 beta mediavps, so I'll have a poke around and see what I can do with them.
-
Putting them in the MediaVPs folder did nothing, that's why I put it in other places as well.
-
Did you have the mediavps folder selected as a mod?
-
3.6.10 uses different maps and etc. because of more efficient mipmapping, if I remember right. So the recolour doesn't work on 3.6.10 beta mediavps.
-
You could rename all of the colored maps. Remove the "a" or whatever at the end, and it should work with the beta VPs.
-
Did you have the mediavps folder selected as a mod?
Of course.

Shivan Recolour Packs V1.0 - 3.6.10 edition by Flaming_Sword
For people who like their shivans a different colour. :)
29/04/2008
Requires FSO, mediavps 3.6.10 beta
Colours included:
Blue
Green
Cyan
Yellow
Magenta
White
Pink (special for TrashMan :P)
Installation instructions:
Extract the desired colour to either the mediavps mod directory (for all mods using mediavps) or other desired mod directory overriding mediavps.
Note: Contains ship textures, weapon/engine effects are unchanged. Mipmapping has been sacrificed.
HTL SD Ravana with fixed textures and engine glows included. It is a stopgap and should be replaced with a proper one as soon as it is released.

Apologies, as attempts to upload to freespacemods.net have so far failed. :(

I don't suppose there'd be any way to switch between two color schemes in-mission?
Not really important, but it would be a neat effect to play around with.
-
Would you mind adding indigo? i've always had a fetish for purple-blue on top of black O_o
-

The packs are intended as a straight replacement of the existing textures.
To change in-mission you would have to create a copy of the existing textures from the mediavps then rename them, then rename the glowmaps from my packs and overwrite the glowmaps for your copies (creating multiple sets of textures, which would likely take up a lot of space). You would then FRED your missions to change textures.
Hopefully I'm wrong, as that process would be a total pita.

Is this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo) okay?

Yeah, deep indigo (web color blue-violet)

If anyone makes rainbow animated glowmaps for the Shivans, I'll personally shoot him/her. And I will do it! I have time for that- 5 day weekend this week ( thanks to a holiday and amazing laws ).
Yep, me too.

And rainbow beams to go with ;)

The effect needs some work though...

what fresh hell is this

Care Bears.....Stare!

I feel sick... :shaking:
STOP HUMILIATING OUR FELLOW SHIVANS !!! :hopping:

STOP HUMILIATING OUR FELLOW SHIVANS !!! :hopping:
Well, haven't the Shivans humiliated the GTVA enough already? The GTVA spend 20 years to construct a ship that's supposed to kick arse, and once they start using it, the Shivans throw in over 80 ships of at least equivalent power, pwn the GTVA's ultimate ship and then blow up a sun. Now that's humiliating.
-
Would have been twice as embarassing if they'd done it with rainbows though ;)

I was expecting a glowmap that cycles through the different colours.... 'Twould be nicer :p

That was what I meant, but this is pretty amusing too.
I still can't get more than a half red, half blue Rashaska...I have a blue Lucifer now, but everything else is STILL red, and it is in mediapvs...
-
Can someone -please- make a blue variant of the SD Demon?

Okay, I have to ask. What version of the mediavps are you using, and do you have all the files? You're not trying to use the blue 3.6.8 pack with 3.6.10 beta mediavps, are you?
Can someone -please- make a blue variant of the SD Demon?
You could just copy my blue glowmaps out of the pack and do whatever renaming you needed.
Indigo 3.6.10 pack for Hellstryker, and anyone else who wants it.

All of the Shivan glowmaps are recoloured by those packs. If you put the blue VP into some folder, and Mediavps as a secondary mod to them, then all the Shivan ships will have blue glowmaps. Demon is blue that way.

Shivan Recolour Packs V1.0 - 3.6.10 edition (animated) by Flaming_Sword
For people who like their shivans a different colour. :)
30/04/2008

Colours included:
Blue
Green

Pink (special for TrashMan :P)
Installation instructions:
Extract the desired colour to either the mediavps mod directory (for all mods using mediavps) or other desired mod directory overriding mediavps.

And with that, I think I'll stop. If shiv_pl (or anyone else) wants to do the weapons, thrusters, etc. I can provide full details of my (largely automated now) process.
-
Wow...I've tried it both ways, meaning both versions, in the respected mediavps...I may be dumb as rocks, but I know not to use 3.6.10 effects under a 3.6.8 mediavp system...vice versa...
Why do I always get that question...
-
You made it....PINK!? D:
-
Nothing wrong with wearing pink once in a while, Shivans are comfortable with their own xenoesexuality.......
-
don't you mean asexuality?
-
Nothing is known about Shivan reproductive processes. They may have genders, they may not. Nobody knows.

Because it happened to me when I tested the 3.6.8 pack with 3.6.10 mediavps?
What are your settings? Do you have graphics settings in the game turned all the way up? Anybody else this isn't working for?
-
I have everything on and all the way up.
-
You have all the vps in the mediavps directory (with the possible exception of the advanced one)?
-
Finally got all the packs onto freespacemods.net.

Everything, every single MediaVP needed.
-
Half-blue rakhshasa. I assume that's because you only edited the glowmaps, and the read is a normal texture?

BLOWmaps???? Do you know something we don't?
-
typo
-
:doubt: Sarcasm is lost on the very young! :sigh:
-
Except I knew about the non-glowmapped textures and changed them too. Most obvious examples of ships with non-glowmapped textures are rakshasa, rahu and belial.
If you're using 3.6.10 mediavps, you need to make sure these vps are in the same (or higher priority) directory:
- custom_shivans_htl_ravana
- custom_shivans_<colour>
from the 3.6.10 recolour pack.
If you also want the animated glowmaps, you will need these in addition:
- custom_shivans_animated_eff
- custom_shivans_animated_<colour>
from the 3.6.10 animated recolour pack.

:doubt: Sarcasm is lost on the very young! :sigh:
This, if any, is a good moment to say QFT. For those who don't know, QFT is an abbreviation of Quantitative Feedback Theory.
Everything, every single MediaVP needed.
Are you sure that you have been able to keep a track on which vp was part of which MediaVPs set? And I don't suppose emptying any data\cache folders could do any harm.
-
HTL Ravana? you mean it's fixed? i don't have that.
-
I don't think you should have the advanced effects if you haven't downloaded the animated glow-map recolour.

Yes...I installed the game not to long ago because I'm using a laptop I bought...so I didn't touch anything...the MediaVPs that came with it are the 3.6.8 Zeta, I added 3.6.10 Beta...

So by "adding" you hopefully mean that you've moved all the vps away from the mediavps folder before placing the 3.6.10 MediaVPs in?
-
the shivan recolors in dds format.
NOTE: if you do not have the 3.610 Mediavps, you will still need the original to get the LODs to work.

megaupload 'cus freespacemods ain't working.
-
Which dds format? Were you able to figure out how to change the colours without lossy compression or ending up with large filesizes? Something like that would be handy to know, since I never actually learned this stuff. PCX was last resort for me. :(

Oh... So someone released mod before me... :( So all my work is for nothing :(
Anyway, good job ;)
-
Sigh...yes...
I'm stumped. Can you give me a complete list of files in your mediavps directory then? What about modified date on your exe?

You can do weapons and thruster glows if you want. I can give you all the stuff I used so you can release packs with future mediavp versions too.

I'd like to wait till official mvp 3.6.10 release

The instructions said to remove ALL older .vp files and place the 3.6.10 .vps in the folder, I did just that, so a list really wouldn't be necessary, since there's five files.
-
And the list of colour pack files you added? What about your exe? I'm trying to reproduce this so I can help you fix it.

For the 3.6.10 vps, the blue Shivans pack for 3.6.10 and blue Shivan glowmaps for 3.6.10.
Does the exe really need to be mentioned, I installed the game not a long time ago so it's not modified...unless I need a build other than 20071007T but I can't find any builds for 3.6.10.
-
There's the 20071028T build available here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,50258.0.html
I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with the build you have.
The contents of the 3.6.10 mediavps directory with the blue pack installed (adv effects):

I don't know what else to tell you. Anybody else able to shed light on the problem?

eff? Where's that at?
Oh hey, I found it.
Ooooh...pretty... :D
-
All fixed then?

Yep, all we need now are the color changing rainbow Shivans and I'll be back on Just Another Day. ;7
