Title: What freespace should be like
Post by: DeepSpace9er on October 14, 2003, 07:02:43 pm: I have an awesome screenshot of a space scene and need a place to stick it so i can show you what freespace should be like.

I know the poll has nothing to do with this topic but i thought, 'what the hell.'

Post by: Black Wolf on October 15, 2003, 08:57:22 pm: Fortunately, there's very little stopping us with the SCP - we have HT&L for the complex models, we have always had the ability to alter how the sun looks, we can put in the planet through traditional means and PSP/PS skillz, the BG would be tricky, but nothing a slightly stretched 1024x1024 pcx couldn't at least emulate.

In short, yay for the SCP :D

The brighter white stars are moons, and the brighter blue stars are planets.

Post by: phreak on October 16, 2003, 09:23:33 am: i have an idea for using the background styles found in IW2, FL or EVE. i just have to figure out how to do something like it.

Post by: Unknown Target on October 16, 2003, 02:32:05 pm: The ability to have high-poly models is already done ;)

In fact, all my models are for T&L-enabled versions only, now. I'm assuming others are going the same route. :nod:

Post by: DeepSpace9er on October 16, 2003, 02:39:13 pm: except all the models are put into files with a .STUFF extension. Unless you can extract .STUFF files i guess they are pretty useless.

What we do around it is MAKE our own models ;)

Post by: Taristin on October 16, 2003, 06:33:13 pm: Yeah, why steal from other games when we have exceptionally talented people right here on tap?
Title: What freespace should be like
Post by: Unknown Target on October 16, 2003, 06:50:37 pm: lol :D He's right, why bother with a bunch of copywrited models?

Post by: DeepSpace9er on October 16, 2003, 07:54:19 pm: cause they look cool!

And i can get screenies from several different dimensions so that you can remake them as similar as possible. Then you can cut and paste the textures but even thats pretty crude.

Post by: Taristin on October 16, 2003, 08:01:20 pm: Screenies... Bah. We can do just as well as any of them...

Post by: Setekh on October 19, 2003, 12:28:04 am: The main difference between what EVE currently offers and FS2 Open is not technical ability, but the quality of the artwork (eg. nebs, thruster flares, etc.). :)

If you can extarct the backgrounds from those games, it's easy to put them in FS2 ( same way I did for that sky sceary a while ago ).
As for ships, I wouldn't spit on having the Gallente Tristan in FS2 :D
