I am making new texture maps for fred2's texture replacement feature, so we can have nameplates for all our Omega destroyers.
http://free.pages.at/skullar/omega-nameplates_1.zip
1. If you have a campaign in development and want a nameplate for a destroyer, drop me a note here, since it is a matter of a minute for me to make the respective texture maps.
2. If you PM me ( for example for secret requests ) at least write HERE that you PMed me, for I always forget to check my messages without someone telling me to do so ! lol

Hi! great work!! :D
can you make a download link with all new texture maps?? because im making a mission of the episode "end game" and "no surrender, no retreat" and i really need it!!
ohhh! i almost forget it! can you make the "babylon 5" texture for the White Star 1??, texture for the Hyperyon and nova class?? and a damege texture from the episode "End Game" for the Agammenom. i know is a lot to ask... but it could be great!! ;)
here its a list, can you create the texture??
Theseus
Independence
Freedom
Sentinel
Titan
:D VERY VERY VERY THANKS!!!!!! :D
-
Don't forget the Cerberos (Matthew Gideon's old destroyer), and the Cortez (an EA Explorer Vessel).
-
Mannerheim and Backgammon would be my names of choice. :drevil:
EDIT: And Apalling. How could I forget the Apalling... :eek:
But then again, they would be Amigo class destroyers... :(
-
Also, the Midwinter Cruiser Clarkestown (this was destroyed by the Alexander at the beginning of Severed Dreams), Schwartzkopf and Patton (both Nova-class Dreadnoughts), the Prometheus (another Hyperion), Hephastus (Omega-class Destroyer stationed a Proxima 3), Juno (another Omega), and the Titans (Ivanova's Warlock)
-
okay, skullar, no need to hide my request any longer, maje just requested some of those ships too.
-
I have done all the maps I announced earlier, and put all your suggestions here on a to do list
I dont know where Midwinters, Warlocks and Explorers have their nameplates, so far I did only Omegas.
There is an issue when it comes to NOVA dreadnought.
On the Omegadestroyer , there are 2 texture maps used for left and right side of the ship. Therefore, the nameplates appear as they do. For the Nova dreadnought, the texture "shines through", meaning that from one side you can see the nameplate as it should be, but from the other side it is mirrored.
This looks stupid, unless someone retextures the Nova there is no way to bypass this problem, unless you use names like "OTTO"
"Endgame" and "No surrender no retreat" missions will be in the civil war campaign too ( how about YOU helping me with doing the campaign ? ) and I think I could give it a try with a badly damaged Omega.
taylor, our friend and coder from the source code project told me, in the future you will have texture replacements as SEXP, meaning that you can see the AGAMEMNON for instance BEFORE and AFTER it got hammered by the GOD-sats, but thats not yet implemented.
I will see to all your OMEGA-requests and report back later, you'll hear from me most probably on MONDAY.
-
The Juno is already done and present in the release you all have ! !!!!!
The archive will also feature the following : ( some already done )
* EAS Acheron - Delivered Captain Elizabeth Lockley to Babylon 5 in 2262 so that she could assume command of the station following Captain John Sheridan's election to the post of President of the Interstellar Alliance.
* EAS Achilles - First Omega-class destroyer Built.
* EAS Agamemnon - John Sheridan was the Captain of this ship before being reassigned to the command of Babylon 5. He later commanded the final battle of the Earth Civil War from this ship.
* EAS Agrippa - Captained by Dexter Smith, one of four ships sent by President Clark to seize Babylon 5 on 4-14-2260 to prevent its secession from the Earth Alliance. Destroyed by Babylon 5's defense grid during the battle.
* EAS Alexander - One of the key vessels involved in the Earth civil war of 2260 - 2261.
* EAS Anubis- Mentioned by General Thompson in 2267.
* EAS Apollo - General Lefcourt's flagship during the final stages of the Earth Civil War in 2261. Led a fleet of Earth destroyers to oppose Sheridan near Mars. Saved Sheridan by destroying the orbital defense platform he was about to ram.
* EAS Cadmus - Fought for President Clark in the Earth civil war. Commanded by Captain Leo Frank.
* EAS Cerberus - Destroyed by a Shadow warship while on deep patrol circa 2257. Only Ensign Matthew Gideon survived the attack.
* EAS Charon - Captained by Leonard Anderson. Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261. Later took over command of the Victory during Babylon 5: A Call to Arms.
* EAS Churchill - Captained by Sandra Hiroshi. One of the ships on the resistance side of the Earth civil war. Destroyed on 4-15-2260 when her captain rammed her into the EAS Roanoke after taking heavy damage defending Babylon 5 from President Morgan Clark's forces. The Churchill's first and last appearance was in the Season 3 Episode "Severed Dreams"
* EAS Damocles - Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261. Disabled in battle near Beta IX.
* EAS Delphi - Fought for President Clark in the 2261 Earth civil war.
* EAS Furies - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. She decided to stand down rather than fire on Sheridan's forces. She joined Sheridan's forces following the battle.
* EAS Heracles - One of two vessels that attacked civilian vessels attempting to leave Proxima III in 2261. Flagship of the Proxima III blockade force. Commanded by Captain Trevor Hall, who was later relieved of command by his executive officer, Commander Sandra Levitt. Taken to Beta IX for repairs following liberation of Proxima by Captain John Sheridan. Commander Levitt kept the Heracles a neutral ship for the rest of the war.
* EAS Hermes- Flagship of the fleet that fought the Drakh during the Battle of Earth, 2267.
* EAS Hydra - Fought for President Clark in the 2261 Earth civil war.
* EAS Juno - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. Withdrew without engaging Sheridan's forces.
* EAS Medusa - Stationed near the rebellious mining colony at Regula 4 in 2267.
* EAS Nemesis - Involved in the blockade of Proxima III in 2261, where she was disabled and surrendered to Sheridan’s forces. However, she is seen amongst General Lefcourt's fleet at Mars near the end of the Earth Civil War, so it seems the ship rejoined Clark’s forces following after-action repairs.
* EAS Nimrod - Sent by President Clark to support the seizure of Babylon 5 on 4-15-2260. Retreated following Delenn's arrival.
* EAS Olympic - Sent by President Clark to support the seizure of Babylon 5 in 2260. Retreated following Delenn's arrival.
* EAS Orion - Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261, when she was disabled in battle near Beta IX. In 2267, was stationed with EAS Medusa at Regula 4.
* EAS Persephone - Lost in action following the Drakh attack on Earth in 2267. Pursued and forced a Drakh ship down on Ceti 4, but was destroyed when battle damage caused the fusion reactors to overload. Only a message drone survived.
* EAS Pollux - One of two vessels involved in illegal attacks on civilian vessels in 2261. She was destroyed in 2261 when a severely damaged White Star vessel collided with her.
* EAS Pournelle - On Mars patrol in the 2250's and saw action during the 2258 Mars Rebellion, where she shot down Abel Horn's escape ship. However, it is indicated on screen that this is not a destroyer, but rather a cruiser. It is therefore possible that the Pournelle is a different ship based on the Nova/Omega heritage. However, it should be noted that the ship is mentioned when Talia Winters performs a scan on Abel Horn. Not being an Earth Alliance officer she might not know the ship class.
* EAS Roanoke - Sent by President Clark On 4-14-2260 to seize Babylon 5. Destroyed on 4-15-2260 when rammed by the destroyer EAS Churchill (Severed Dreams). When John Sheridan was captured by the Earth Alliance in 2261, he was accused of destroying the vessel himself.
* EAS Talos - Supervised decommissioning of Babylon 5 in 2281.
* EAS Theseus - Part of Sheridan's fleet during the assault on Earth's Planetary Defense Network near the end of the Earth Civil War in 2261.
* EAS Vesta - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. Commanded by Captain Edward MacDougan. Refused to fire on civilian refugees, and stood down rather than fight Sheridan. Following the battle at Proxima III, the Vesta joined Sheridan's fleet and fought in a number of engagements against Clark's forces.
* EAS Zeus - Part of General Lefcourt's fleet near Mars near the end of the Earth Civil War in 2261. ("Endgame")

I've got nameplates for 3 non-cannon Omegas (thanks to Slasher):
EAS Fetcher - Omega-Class destroyer send to patol the EA-CR Border in late 2262; destroyed by EA forces in early 2263
EAS Ajax - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to patrol the EA-CR Border in late 2262; nearly destroyed in combat with Drakh forces in 2263
EAS Hades - Omega-Class destroyer assigned for special operations in late 2262/ early 2263; destroyed by Drakh forces in early 2263
I would nameplates for 4 furhter Omegas for my upcoming campaings (once I can start working on em again):
EAS Justitia - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to protect the Drazi colonies of the Zagros System against Centauri aggression in mid 2262
EAS Ares - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to support Narn Defense forces at the Centauri border in mid 2262
EAS Mercurio - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to conduct special operations in 2267; caught at the edge of the black hole since 2267
EAS Poseidon - Omega-Class destroyer assigned to conduct special operations in 2267; destroyed by unknown attackers in 2267
-
Noted....
EAS Poseidon is also featured in 1 mission of civil war campaign. The destroyer deploys spy-probes and is forced to withdraw by the Alexander.
So, this doesnt interfere with your intentions I presume :)
-
Just looked at the Babylon Project Mission Editor. There already exists the EAS Poseidon, but it's a carrier. Not sure if this throws in a monkey wrench.
-
I'd appreciate having a Rubicon.
-
alright karajorma ! :)
Lets have a deal, I'll give you your RUBICON, you give me a fs2open build with working glowmaps on texture replacement ;)
-
I stay away from the graphics code if I can. :p
I might take a loot though.
-
just noted that you forgot my "Caesar". And a Rubicon would be great, too.
And a "Marathon". Oh, I love Marathon (old Bungie game) :) :) :)
-
All done except Marathon ( will do when I am back home )
So, anyone here willing to host the zip file ? ( approx. 10 MB )
I dont want to send it to 5000 people one by one.
-
I would suggest approaching Primus. As he has helped us in the past.
-
Also talk to Hip63 about having these added into the TBP 3.4a core download.
-
I will ask him "when the time is right, Mr. Garibaldi."
There the new epsilon3 should also be :)
And the new hud radar. I skipped the thick lines that surround the display, looks more "neutral", is more decent and fits better into the screen.
Lets give the nameplate requesters a mittle more time I propose. Any suggestion how long ? lol
-
I will ask him "when the time is right, Mr. Garibaldi."
I haven't heard from Hip for a few days but have already given him the go ahead to build the 3.4a installer. So you can consider it to be the eleventh hour already.
-
Dont you think its a little early for that ?
There is lots of stuff missing already.
- 56 nameplates I made + marathon + additional requests from people who havent founf topic yet
- Improved Epsilon3 I made ! ( I wish I had a screenie for you :) )
- glowpointed Nova dreadnought
- an fs2 open build that supports glowmaps with TEXTURE REPLACEMENT ( or all Omegas look like crap )
- free beer for all
Greetings, man ! Besides, I wrote you an email :)

Dont you think its a little early for that ?
No I don't. None of the things on your wish list are important. They are trivial enhancements to a project that is no longer in development. 3.4a exists only as a minor bug fix for 3.4. I am giving you the opportunity to drop some harmless no-risk extras at the last minute - because it's you. But this is not an opportunity to resurrect TBP ;).
The game engine build being used has been especially chosen by Karajorma and will be the most stable one available that fixes a specific game engine bug with the executable in 3.4 that neutered the mission designer (the mission save crash bug with certain player ships). No alternative game engine will be used.
-
It is a good thing Karajorma has a nameplate request on his own. This gives me POWER over him.
Well, I hope he stays in contact with TAYLOR who is building glowmaps from scratch I take it.
Well....
I sent you the nameplates, I am afraid Ill be offline soon. @ all : bug IP if I am gone today ;)
-
thx

http://free.pages.at/skullar/omega-nameplates_1.zip
so far....
-
the link doesn't work!!! :doubt:
-
Yeah. I'm getting a 404 too.
-
This is xerxes. There has been trouble with a wrong link to the nameplates which has been corrected. We are sorry for the inconvenience. TriOptimum wants to remind you that there are only 37 days till Christmas. Extra-shifts will help you to get yout projects completed until then.
-
won't be able to, sry.
-
i have to ask...
when are you going to realese the new epsilon 3 background?? and what happend to the Agamennom damage texture??
-
The Agamemnon Damage texture has not yet been made ! This will take a while I think, I have more pressing issues at moment.
-
Nice. Those will come in handy. I will post some requests for Omega nameplates soon as i have found them.
In the mean time, can i ask for a "PSI Corp Black Omega Reskin" of the Omega Destroyer. I need this for a PSI Corps campaign i've got in the works.
PS it would be nice if i could get PSI Corps reskins for the Hyperion/Midwinter cruisers and Nova Dreadnought as well
-
Well, to be honest I have no idea what they should look like. Perhaps we should start another topic for texture replacement requests in general, and leave this one for omega nameplates ?
