Title: They're BLUE!!!!
Post by: Liberator on April 08, 2003, 04:33:08 am: To prove that I'm not a complete louse who posts the occasional witty comment or wimpy matchstick flame, I have decided to contribute something to the community. I present Blue Shivans complete with Enging and Beam effects and a new warp ANI.

Ignore my sister's folder the screenshots (http://photos.yahoo.com/lorzon1) are next to it.

I tried uploading the RAR file to F2S yesterday(between 11:00p-12:50a) but it 9.7MB and my Dial-up is crappy. So if Hunter or someone from F2S could let me know if the upload worked or not and if not I'll zip them an email as well as anybody else interested in mirroring it. My email is [email protected].

[edit]I forgot: Comments Welcome :D

Title: I don't remember voting for blue shivans...
Post by: Star Dragon on April 08, 2003, 10:11:42 am: You know we could have a poll for "Choose the next color for the shivan fleet"... Like the M&M's...

Pick fromt he following choices:
Infra-Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Indigo
Violet
Ultra-Violet

Using ROY G BIV (the color spectrum but omitting Red and Blue as they have already been done)

Then next month we can change the choices to something like:

Aqua
Cinnamon
Spanish White
Patchwork
Flesh Tone
and lastly CHROME!!! (Wohoo!)

Going to bed now sorry just got outta work so sleep deprived and loopy (hope this was amusing though!) :lol:

Post by: Liberator on April 08, 2003, 12:38:34 pm: The idea stemed from the copy of 3dEx that I've got. When I convert textures to a specific file format it inverts the red and blue values. So the actual ship maps were all that difficult.

When I say blue I mean their all blue even the engine ANIs.

KT was drawing a picture of garlfield in spanish class..

All you gotta do is change the red in the textures to blue. ****, I could do that if you wanted me to. And if you're thinking of them, I suppose we could do that, but something more complicated would be better.

Post by: Sheepy on April 08, 2003, 06:04:03 pm: I have to agree with Mr KT, these are not all that intresting and will look .. amaturish(sp?) for them
Title: They're BLUE!!!!
Post by: Liberator on April 08, 2003, 06:07:35 pm: To get these Maps either check F2S, they might not be up yet so if not. Drop me a line at [email protected]

I just realized, could we maybe get this hosted for download at HLP?

I'm sorry about the poor quality screenies. Yahoo makes you have to be logged into see full size images. I'm looking into a GeoCities account as we speak.

Garfield rules!

Anyway, as was suggested when Hades posted his green shivans, it could be another sect of Shivan society.

Post by: beatspete on April 09, 2003, 12:57:24 pm: suppose it wouldn't be hard to change them. All the shivan textures are red, with grey and black. Open up PSP, change the hue, and you have blue, green, yellow, whatever. Find some way of doing a batch convert for the hue, and you have a re-textured fleet in a few minutes.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on April 09, 2003, 01:03:12 pm: But. They. Are. Fine. As. They. Are.
Title: They're BLUE!!!!
Post by: Sandwich on April 09, 2003, 02:24:42 pm: More important would be to double the texture size to 512x512, with manual editing to add details. :D

Title: They're BLUE!!!!
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on April 10, 2003, 04:51:36 am: If they were given proper reflectivity in game it would look incredible, but I suppose that is too much to ask?
Title: They're BLUE!!!!
Post by: Liberator on April 10, 2003, 06:01:18 pm: You'd have to ask the SCP guys if they want/are going to add pixel shaders or at least the ability to have reflective textures.
Title: They're BLUE!!!!
Post by: Liberator on April 11, 2003, 04:40:22 am: Okay, one final **BUMP **

I've uploaded the maps to the HLP mod bank, so hopefully it will be up in a few days. I'll reupload it to F2S in a while, maybe later today, it will all depend on whether I can get to a computer at school in the morning.
