Title: FreeSpace 2 School Project
Post by: Hippo on April 04, 2005, 07:38:17 am

So yeah, i have to use Adobe PageMaker 7 to make a DVD box cover, and i'm going to do one on freespace. (it was done before, but his links are dead)... So could you guys get me some good screenshots of the main campaign, sporting the SCP, hud doesn't matter, sortof FS1 box esque? 1024x768 is fine, and if you don't have anywhere to upload them, email them to me at HLPHippo @ gmail.com . The more, the better... If i could have them by Wensday morning, or Friday morning (and by morning, i mean by 7:00 EST), that'd be great... I'll be using the missions from the campaign as the scene listing type thing, so it'll be sortof like a FreeSpace movie, but not... So screens from key points would be nice, and i'll get some from the cutscenes as well... Thanks to anyone that helps... :)

Hippo should use his GMail account, since he can have 2 Gb worth of images on there. :p

but one has to either link to the picture in pagemaker, meaning it has to stay on the hard drive, or one must import to the file, which takes as much space...

media VP!


they were in 3.6.5 but not in the initial release for some reason. May as well get 3.6.6 now since it's out.

This image sucks, so it is removed.  Look down for a new one!

Er... the release date on that image is wrong... it's 1999.

propaganda goes a long way...
who would want to buy a game originally released in 1999?
Make em thing its 2001!


Jk... my bad.

I really don't like that Colossus vs Sathanas picture. Truth is, none of the screenshots you've got in there are particularly well-composed.  The one from Homesick is ok, but the other three just aren't that clean or graphically appealing IMHO.  Also, the "NEW!" star doesn't live up to the quality of the rest of the box and the title and logo have too little contrast to be sitting on top of one another.  That said, cool :cool:

EDIT: Hey, does anyone have a scan of the original cover for comparison?

People either love the Colossus-Sathanas one or hate it.

It's a good 20-minute put-together.  With the screens available.  No complaint (though the Perseus screen that's being used in the Wikipedia is probably the best promo shot in the history of Freespace) on it, just suggesting how it could be better.  If you wait a little while, I may have a more fitting cover :drevil:

Kie, it's the Colossus, first of all.  It really is hard to get a good angle on that ship, and that certainly isn't one of them.  Plus the layout is terrible.

I can't use fs2 on my ****ty 400mhz g4 and Ati Rage, so I need someone else for the pictures if all possible.  I fixed the star, added gradiants so that there is white on the tips and in the middle is a sligtly differently-colored circle with a bigger NEW!  2001 is changed to 1999 and four years is changed to six years.  SCP is now in a more contrasing font.

I wish I had photoshop, so that I could do some real "jazzing up" to it.

Like it would ever be used...

I really need to make that rulebook for Freespace: Commanding Officer.
HERE YOU GO!

Ok, so Freespace doesn't like me today.  This mission accellerates the crashing I'm getting (it's system-exclusive, and a listed bug, but it keeps me from playing) but someone with all of the HTL models load this mission (http://www.duke.edu/~cek6/cover.fs2) up.  Find and target the Nav bouy behind the player starting location, and view from it.  Should be readily apparent what I'm going for; wait about 40 seconds and the fireworks will start.  I'd love to get a screengrab of the moment the Deimos goes down.

im sorry to say that I can not use freespace 2 until i get a new computer.

It's a pity.  I am a very good Fredder, I can even make a mission with you as a corvette play well.

GUESS HOW MANY MODIFICATIONS WERE NEEDED TO MAKE THIS FROM A SINGLE SCREENSHOT OF A MOLOCH KILLING A DEIMOS (here is the cover)
