Title: ---Release! GVB Petbe upgraded maps---
Post by: shiv on February 07, 2009, 12:48:37 pm: Earth Defense Team presents maps for classic Vasudan bomber GVB Petbe. They're made by FreeSpaceking and since we decided to get a rid of this bomber in ED it's all for you.

Original release thread (http://game-warden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7015)

And here's a few of screenshots:

Post by: Dilmah G on February 08, 2009, 02:34:44 am: That thing reminds me of an insectoid/shivan rather than a Vasudan Ship, but hey, it looks alright :P

Post by: Scooby_Doo on February 08, 2009, 03:28:56 am: I like the green glow. Is it mostly a transparent layer with a green outer glow psd?

That's why we dropped it.

If you look closely, that entire thing was a hack. Shiv just hacked the Pegasus to use the Petbe model so he could get a quick picture. Really the Petbe should have a yellow thruster theme.

Post by: Droid803 on February 08, 2009, 11:41:18 am: Still, it looks good like that :P
Probably even more when using the old teal terran afterburner glow.

Title: Re: ---Release! GVB Petbe upgraded maps---
Post by: Droid803 on February 15, 2009, 11:54:18 am: Uploading!
Title: Re: ---Release! GVB Petbe upgraded maps---
Post by: Jadehawk on February 16, 2009, 01:20:52 pm: Having checked this model against others such as the Ezechiel, Herc etc, I think this should be a fighter as it's too small in my opinion to be a bomber. if it could be made larger by 1/3, then yeah we got a good Vasudan Bomber here. :yes:

Woot, now it looks like something Terran the Shivans seemed to have picked up on one of their Annihalation sprees and repainted.
Title: Re: ---Release! GVB Petbe upgraded maps---
Post by: Jadehawk on March 02, 2009, 09:20:16 am: Placed next to a Terran fighter, this Bomber is not too big. I tried to enlarge the model to Bomber size in the .pof editor and was able too. I still had to redo the guns, missiles etc but I got it all...or so I thought as something must have went wrong as I cannot see it in FRED2 at all. I tried it over several times and still get nothing in FRED2. :wtf:

Post by: Flaming_Sword on March 03, 2009, 01:00:00 am: Serious question for once: Is anyone actually interested in that shivan-esque recolour? If so I can put it up somewhere. Screenshot was taken using PCS2, haven't tested in-game yet.

I'm sure I could use it, in fact if you check the missions n campaigns board I could probably use it for that campaign I released a teaser/trailer for.

Post by: Flaming_Sword on March 03, 2009, 06:15:16 am: Tested with inferno using F3 techroom.

Shivan recolour, environment mapping fixed, mipmapped. Glowmapped parts are still glassy and fully reflective. :D

I got the feeling animated glowmaps done in the same style as other shivan ships won't look very good on this ship, so I haven't made any.

Original by FreeSpaceking with fixed environment mapping and mipmapping also included in archive. See the first post for what that looks like. :P

No idea if this is good enough for freespacemods, so for now available here (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dwgytmmonnw).

Post by: Droid803 on March 03, 2009, 05:56:48 pm: Oh yes.
This would look perfect next to that reskinned ACv Malia I have sitting around.

Post by: Titan on March 03, 2009, 06:00:35 pm: the shivanized one?

heh... gets me thinking of a FS3 plot twist where the shivans (i think the term is borg-efy?) their enemies after they nuke the HWs...
Title: Re: ---Release! GVB Petbe upgraded maps---
Post by: Droid803 on March 03, 2009, 06:14:02 pm: Yeah, the Shivanized one.

Or maybe they just take their technology and integrate it into their own.
Oh wait that's basically the same thing.

And that could explain why they looked more spiky in FS2. They recently absorbed a spiky species's ships... :nervous:

Post by: FreeSpaceFreak on March 04, 2009, 03:01:00 am: Spiky, spikier, spikiest! :lol:
