SF Manticore to GTF Manticore
on: March 11, 2003, 02:27:29 am
Hehe...i got abit bored yesterday night and started to make a terran version of the SF Manticore. I named it the GTF Manticore:doh!:

Here are 2 screenshots.




And another.


The screenshots are from the custom mission.

The mod package contains:
Renamed Pof file
Color changed textures
Color changed Glowmaps ( optional )
A updated TBL entry of the original Manticore ( mainly weapons and engine sound )
A custom mission
And all the interface art.

The interface aint totaly done yet, i'll finish it when i get out of work. Enjoy, the next change wil proberly be a Raksasha cruiser or a bomber. But thats for later.

I can`t see much of it. Screenshots too dark.

Sounds like a nice idea, I can imagine a few capture missions based around it.

I was taling more along the lines of having a couple of missions like Enter the Dragon where you have to capture Shivan Manticores first :)

Pff. It's as simple a reskin as you can get. Nothing special.

You want a Terran version, you gotta go all the way. Like Dark's GTB Icarus, made from the Seraphim. Or the Sekhmet, a Vasudan version of the Nahema. A recolor isn't going to make it Terran overnight.

I know it's a simple reskin, i also stated that in my first post:rolleyes:

I havent done a mod (how simple it is) in a about 1.5 years so don't start to bash my stuff.

It looks more terran enough to call it that terran. And btw i can't reskin ships i lack the skillz.

Considering the Shivans were originally intended to be green and black, I'd love to see a green/black scorpion or manticore

I think they wanted to avoid any Borg resemblances when they went with red and black.

I'm just about to feel sorry for :v:. I mean, c'mon.

Volition: We just finished every damn command briefing in the game. Whew was that hard. Yes sireee, that was so intensive, that three of our computers couldn't take it. Man, are we proud.

Interplay: Uh, that's cool and all, but we just figured that the green and black ships just won't do. You see, they could be mistaken with an alien race from a once-great sci-fi series, that gets its ass kicked every other week. So make it red and black.

Voliton: *picks up axe*

Red works...more evil than mysterious that you'd get with Green.  Although the Shivans are indeed both.

I changed the Shivans ship's to all green, and they do look sort of insectoid. Not as scary as red, but really creepy.

IceFire double posting? :eek:

On Topic: It's ok. Yea I saw it was simple, but all it really looks like is the same but with blue Glowmaps instead of the shivan red. And black instead of gray.
