Post by: Assassin on February 08, 2004, 04:22:17 am: In the meantime, go out for a walk, get some work done, go for a drink with some friends, spend time with your family, work on your own mods and campaigns, take up golf, or become a pimp.

The world is at your fingertips!:D

Post by: Woomeister on February 08, 2004, 04:44:22 am: We're redoing everything. so we are trying to redo 3 years of work in just a few months, then we redo the missions.

I still have 38 ships to remap, and maybe a few more to make.

Sids done most of the Terran and EA weapons, stil got the Vasudans and Shivans to do.

and we have a few other little extras too ;)

Looks like you got your work cut out for you, literally. Great to hear you're going for quality. :yes:
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Janos on February 11, 2004, 08:15:15 am: I really like Inferno, because there is so much effort put in it. Not just editing tables and values, but a lot of stuff built up from the ground.

So wait and see. I am willing to wait for a couple of months (or years) for a quality release rather than see random stuff thrown in and this pile of carbage being released as "campaign."
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 11, 2004, 08:20:59 am: I've remapped and converted 26/52 of the ships I planned to do, so once the Apothess pof data is restored, I'm halfway.

Then I have to convert all those textures to DDS format then find a way to make glowmaps for them...
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 11, 2004, 08:43:13 am: (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/halfwaypoint.jpg)

Finally reached halfway after 4 or 5 days work :)

Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: DeepSpace9er on February 12, 2004, 07:09:15 am: In your R2 and RR1, are you planning to add an alternate campaign to play from the EAs point of view?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 12, 2004, 08:44:50 am: Nope, any expansions like that will be done after the main campaign is complete.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: phreak on February 12, 2004, 11:01:42 am: or by fans. but if you want to make a campaign using inferno mods, why not help us?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: DeepSpace9er on February 13, 2004, 06:57:51 am: Just for the record and nothing against you, but i still hate teh Apothess destroyer. Ihe rear end texture is old vasudan technology texture. Ifs almost like having an M1A1 tank barrel on a WWII tank body.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 13, 2004, 07:06:43 am: Actually the Asarte, Kabechet and Apothess and Joh use those textures...

A few other Vasudan ships use it too, but not as much as those ships.

We use the Orion and Fenris maps too, so I guess ships like the Bellerophon suck just because the use fs1 maps?

I prefer those textures to the newer ones.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: SadisticSid on February 13, 2004, 03:01:21 pm: I've always thought of the Apothess as a really huge mobile gun rather than a destroyer which is why its unusual shape suits it so much. Compared to the original maps these new ones rock substantially. :)
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: mr.WHO on February 14, 2004, 03:37:55 am: Can you post a screenshots of Kabechet ant Joh?
You still use GVD Hedetet ? can you post screenshots of Hedetet?

You still use Glaucus or only Bellerophon?
Does two cruiser will be very heavy AA cruisers or or anti-cruiser/corvette?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 14, 2004, 06:13:53 am: Just completed the reconvertion of the Kabechet:

Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Janos on February 14, 2004, 10:38:45 am: Well you've twisted the Typhon in a very interesting way.

Looks good, though perhaps a little shivan here and there...
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: c914 on February 14, 2004, 11:20:19 am: Good:nod:
I like look just like vasudan ship shod look.
I don't remember.. this ship wasn't i R1??
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 14, 2004, 11:40:57 am: No it wasn't, most of our Vasudan fleet wasn't in R1, plus most of the EA fleet wasn't either.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 14, 2004, 11:53:08 am: Wow DDS textures made the filesize jump...

INF current filesize: 333mb
Estimated download size: 119mb

Good job I took the 100mb of ssanis out :D

We still have to make glowmaps for a lot of the remade ships too...

Plus that doesn't include cutscenes ;7
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 14, 2004, 12:30:38 pm: Woomeister, what about we poor guys without DDS support?
Will the textures work?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 14, 2004, 02:06:26 pm: The only cards that don't have DDS support probably won't be able to run the campaign in HTL anyway, that's why they where changed to DDS. Some textures are 2048^2 now anyway, so a reasonably decent card would be needed to view them.

Without HTL I get about 6-12 fps in M14, with HTL I get between 30-80. Running without HTL probably won't be possible.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 14, 2004, 03:52:27 pm: Ahem... with the latest RT speech build my old TNT2 reaches 80fps with an average around 40 even in intensive missions...
HTL works even with non HTL cards.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 14, 2004, 04:16:05 pm: Yeah, but our maps are huge and require a decent card, shrinking them to 1024 or lower will create some very ugly ships.

It would be possible, but if we do this it won't come as standard (would be downloaded seperately then you'd have to delete the dds files)
They would be converted to 1024^2 256 colour pcx files.

A Radeon 7000 series or its equvilent should be fine we think.

You don't need a Radeon 9800 to run it :D
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: mr.WHO on February 14, 2004, 04:16:21 pm: What new EA ships you have?
New claymores, new corvette, new carrier, science ship,new station, freigther,
and......?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 14, 2004, 04:21:40 pm: A Bomber and Destroyer which I won't post pics of :D
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: mr.WHO on February 14, 2004, 04:22:46 pm: What kind of destroyer: heavy, Super?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 14, 2004, 04:33:50 pm: It has more turrets than the Tereus, less beams, but more anti-fighter weapons.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: c914 on February 15, 2004, 06:13:08 am: Do GTVA have more new ships ( 1 vasudan destroyer we saw )?
What oother ship are? ( if they are :) )
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 15, 2004, 06:18:42 am: From R1 there's a lot of different ships, though some are in to replace ones we've dropped.

You'll have to be more specific :)
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 15, 2004, 06:29:20 am: What about cruisers?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 15, 2004, 06:37:50 am: Terran:

Alcyone
Glaucis
Bellerophon

Vasudan:

Joh
Selket

EA:

Eclipse
Aesacus

Shivan:

Rakshasa
Lilith (my custom one)
Raguel
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 15, 2004, 07:28:20 am: That's great! I assume you dumped the Sai?
And btw... Screenshots for the new ones?

right - Selket
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Havock on February 15, 2004, 12:10:59 pm: that typhon thingy looks mean.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 15, 2004, 12:27:17 pm: Ehm... not to be polemic but Bellephoron and Glaucus seems almost a terran version of Aten and Mentu...
Awesome work though!
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: c914 on February 15, 2004, 01:39:13 pm: Texsture on those terran criuser looks very similiar to my texsture on RFI Argo:

:doubt: :D
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 15, 2004, 01:52:25 pm: Those textures are the fenris ones...
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: c914 on February 15, 2004, 02:48:22 pm: yep with my litle modifications:)
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 15, 2004, 05:11:52 pm: I'm definitely a fan of yours...
I'm reworking my personal campaign to fit some of your stuff...
Kep up with the good work!
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: SadisticSid on February 15, 2004, 06:12:57 pm: I wouldn't, it'll be obsolete soon :)
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 16, 2004, 02:58:39 am: Well, i don't look for the most advanced stuff, just what i find fitting for the plot...
I can send you some text wip if you want (but not the campaign as it's near 80mb compressed unless you got some place for uploading it)...
Oh, and let me guess... You won't release models before chapter 1 re-release, right?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 16, 2004, 03:42:17 am: No plans to release anything early. I we did it would probably have to be patched for the release.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: mr.WHO on February 16, 2004, 04:16:43 am: 1) can you post a sreenshot of new EA destroyer?
2) you will use a Telemus or not?
3) What is a Glaucus and bellerophon function, heavy AA or anti cruiser/corvette?
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Woomeister on February 16, 2004, 04:47:30 am: 1) No, saving it for now the same with our replacement for the Imset ;7

2) No, however it doesn't stop anyone readding any of the dumped R1 ships :)

3) The Bellerophon is supposed to be anti-corvette.
Title: what taking sooooo long!!
Post by: Zarax on February 16, 2004, 05:08:01 am: Talking about dumped stuff i've got a couple of ideas for resurrecting the Het-ka as vasudan jug, but since i can't mod i can only give some tips...
Doesn't the Hatshepsut looks like an uber spinal cannon to you? *hint* *hint*
