Title: Freespace Wallpaper?
Post by: colecampbell666 on May 28, 2007, 04:09:20 pm
Does anyone know where i can get FS wallpaper. Most of the ones on FSPort website aren't to my liking. inferno backgrounds would also be welcome.

There were a whole bunch on the descent-manager website but I think they're gone now.

I had one with an Orion and several Great War era spacecraft fighting a Cain(or a Lilith) and some Shivan fighters(there probably were bombers, too)but I don't know where it is. :(

C'mon, FS2 has so many cool ships and it has just 3 wallpapers?

My recommendation would be to play some FS2, take some screenshots, tweak the best of the lot in the image editor of your choice, and slap it on your desktop.  Hell, the MediaVP content is at the point where most of the game looks better than the pre-rendered stuff on the FS2 website anyway.  If you're concerned with not being able to line up a good shot, for some reason, the best trick I ever found is to just take a whole lot of screenshots when playing a mission and browse them later.

PyroMX has made some damn fine screenshots in the past (IIRC) PM him for some, or check out the "Celebration of FreeSpace" thread for more!

Also check the old 3.6.8 screenshot thread, there's a lot of good ones there.

Crap, I totally forgot about that, and I have new screenshots!

Don't make it sound so arrogant then. :P

How about a couple of classics reworked into widescreens:

Wow I never noticed that the Colossus WIP was using different textures... Interesting.

That cutscene had so many inconsistencies.
Title: Re: Freespace Wallpaper?
Post by: BlueFlames on June 03, 2007, 12:27:30 pm
It's a different texture because there's no skin on the Collosus in that picture.  The superstructure and a great deal of the internal chambers are there, but the outermost walls aren't.

What if the external armor wasn't placed yet? As for the inconsistencies...I think the Colossus needed particular Ganymede rings.
Title: Re: Freespace Wallpaper?
Post by: Snail on June 03, 2007, 12:59:30 pm
I guess, but there are many other inconsistencies there.

The TTC1 containers and the Ganymede rings are too big, the Lucifer is too small, the Chronos carrying the TTC1s have too many turrets, the turret amounts and types are most certainly incorrect, Vasuda Prime is labeled Vasuda, Mirfak is named Mirfax, the Bastion even appears in the Colossus fleet.

Probably they were just a bunch of renders, and then the guys at :v: decided to put them together to make the Collie cutscene.
Title: Re: Freespace Wallpaper?
Post by: BlueFlames on June 03, 2007, 03:18:50 pm
Oh, I'm not denying that there's inconsistancies in that cutscene; I just take issue with a couple of the specific ones you bring up, such as the texture work on the Collossus model.  I'll also point out that, as a matter of terminology, Vasuda is the star system, while Vasuda Prime is the first planet from that system's sun.

Incorrect.

Quote from: FreeSpace 1 Tech Description
Vasudans originate on the fourth planet of the Vasuda Prime system, the only planet in that system that is capable of supporting life. The fourth planet of the Vasuda Prime system (also known as Vasuda Prime) is a relatively hostile world. Both of the twin continents of Vasuda Prime are almost entirely desert, and most of the above-ground water is, even by Vasudan standards, undrinkable. In order to adapt to these surroundings, Vasudans developed quite rapidly. Vasudan society is complex and filled with peril for the outsider ignorant of their culture.

That's just :v: proving they know nothing about astronomy again. BlueFlames has the correct terminology. :)

I have almost 150 mb of screenshots that you could pick through if you want.
