Title: Quick Leviathan question
Post by: asyikarea51 on July 25, 2010, 10:22:39 am: The blue light and different hull texture colour follows FS1, does it?

No. In FS1 they were 100% visually identical.

Great, the strangeness has set in... I keep thinking I'd seen a low-poly blue Leviathan somewhere other than the MediaVPs, but if the FS1 Leviathan is indeed identical to the Fenris in every way, then...

??????????? :wtf: :shaking: :nervous: ???????????

Don't worry. You're not going mad. FSPort Retail did have a blue low-poly Leviathan reskin.

Err, no. Not in FSPort.

Post by: Commander Zane on July 25, 2010, 11:09:46 am: In Retail; from the box, yes.

Oh, sorry, you're right they were exactly the same too. I thought you meant that the FSPort reskinned the Lilith too (which they didn't).

Post by: asyikarea51 on July 25, 2010, 11:34:52 am: Had a quick glance (not even 3 seconds, lol sorry :nervous:) at the wiki prior to creating the thread actually, though I didn't really take it to include FS1 retail at first since most stuff around here deals with FS2... being newer anyway not to mention all the additions to the code at this point.

Well thanks anyway.

(I probably won't be able to forget the blue though, even though INF:A is going for standard red as it seems to be. The blue is stuck in my head as if it was standard. cue "oh well" although i have no intention of whining/complaining/whatever. :sigh:)

Post by: Trivial Psychic on July 25, 2010, 11:39:16 am: I think that it was Lightspeed who was the first to make a separate skin for the Cain, using the more armored default map to base the Lilith on. On a side note, back during the days of the Low-Poly Blue Leviathan from the FS-Port, I realized that it lacked a glowmap, so I modified the Fenris' glowmap, adjusting the hue to match the Leviathan, so I guess you could say that I "improvised" the glowmap.
