Title: Good FS Screenshots or Pics
Post by: WarpStar on November 14, 2001, 05:07:00 am
Hey everyone.  I'm looking for some excellent shots, preferably cutscene shots, or something or anything FreeSpace.  I"m adding a games section to my website, and the shots will go into a melding image to be used for the index page.

Thanks  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I have a lot that I could convert to JPEG for you, but most of them have mods in them that are mine or someone else's. You'd need to get permission from a huuuge load of people.

Thanks guys, I'm actually just looking for 2 really good ones.  One for FS1 and one for FS2.  They're both going to have their own pages under my games section.

Sandwich, I got your screenies and I'm lookin through them now.  Alikchi, what types of jpg's?  Can you send some?

Thanks everyone, I found some good ones.  Sandwich, that battle was fierce.  Down with the NTF  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Setekh, Thanks, I used an image of Bosch, for FS2, it really fit the image, especially after the image for FS1  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

The image is right here.  More will be added as more games go in, etc  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Hah! You think that battle was fierce? I should get some screenies from the 3rd mission!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Considering that the people who play the campaign will be people who've played through FS2, I'm not planning on starting at a lower difficulty level and ramping up. From the get-go I'll be taking into consideration the serious superiority of human players to AI, assigning missions to suit, and explaining them by having the player be a true war-veteran, battle-hardened top ace.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

(i.e.due to the limitations of FS2 AI, you will not be fighting  any smarter ships, but there will be more)

..right? Or have you found a way to put in a new ai or somethingg?

A new AI, that would be great, at least to have them not bump into you  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Seriously, I could see your point Sandwich.  Also, instead of doing that, you could hack the tbl files and just make each enemy harder  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

The *.TBL files are pretty limited on what they can accomplish.  Even with evasion jacked clear up to 100% I still get to watch my pilots fly straight into the ships they're SUPPOSED to be escorting  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I told you that It ("http://www.geocities.com/jskgames/home.html") would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

Hehehehehe, I wonder why they do that.

Yea, all that hardcoded stuff.  I wonder if that works both ways too, if they hit enemies  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Most (not all, but most) of the "difficult" missions until now have been of the "swarm-them-till-they-give-up!" variety. I hope to include as many new ways of making a mission difficult as I can think of.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

It's easy enough - ai.tbl can do stuff to a limited effect, and i've been using it to try and 'tweak' the nightmares to fight a bit differently to the Shivans.... hopefully it'll work  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I've been guilty with a lot of AI .tbl tweaking, such as Shivans now slide and such in tBE.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Also, on difficult missions, Twilight has one pretty hectic fights without too many ships involved, I also plan on a lot of "tactical engagements" that will require heavy thinking. (pretty much puzzles)

LOL, the AI rules with the Morning Stars.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

hehe, yes they are really good with those things. I have also found them to be quite skillful with Maxims and, to a lesser extent, Piranhas.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

BTW I have a lot of interesting screenshots; let me see if I can fliter out some of the better ones and post links here.
