Well I could always go rainbow on them if we don't reach a consensus here. So, more seriously: green, purple, yellow..? What color should they get? I personally began to like green when I started recoloring the ships. It'll go well with the subspace rift weapons.

BTW- I must be tired or something, I didn't even notice the whole Tiberium thing on the Lamia...

Might you tell us what's a high shivan? looks scary! :shaking:

Seriously though, green is not bad, but who would have thought the shivans were related to the nephilim... :D

 
The Intro is available at http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.475 . You'll meet the Higher Shivans in it (with the old purple glows). Can't spoil more...  :p

Obviously you'll also meet the Tiigran-Merisst, but they are just as much a mystery as the H. Shivans.

How about a glowmap which uses a mixture of darker-toned green, sort of a brooding color (which fits the Shivans just fine...)? That might look better than the current set of glows.

Mix the dark with the light - keep the base color but add in a darker tone/hue. Give it a bubbling/brooding effect.  :nod:

This darker green looks great! :yes:

So the Higher Shivans stay green. I pretty much suck at photoshop, so I'll need to take my time figuring out which function(s) would make the coolest effect on the glowmaps.

Other than that, my semester is ending and I'm a bit busy at the university right now. Expect another update in less than a few weeks though.

Don't tell me you never played Homeworld 2...

And yes, a few of the strike craft are inspired by that Drone. :p

BTW- has anyone seen blowfish lately?

oooh: the apocalypse project... :D

Well, unfortunately, since I don't like strategy games, I didn't play homeworld (which is a bummer as the story looks quite enticing).

However, I have high faiths in the mods out here on hard light to give us space sim addicts a view of the homeworld saga...

ahAH ! I knew it :p

Btw, this mod looks very good. Even the 20min-long missions in the demo remained playable ;).

It's really too bad we don't see any other species than Terran-Vasudan-Shivan-Ancients in more FS2 mods.

And don't listen to the ones that says Shivans in purple look bad, they are wroooong.

Well then... thank the people who did all the hard work creating the mod with me. :p

Also- the Aesdherians are missing there.

And the purple Shivans are already green. And they're still bad@$$.

Ok, I'm confused. The screenshots at freespace wiki look bad, but the ones here look cool.

 
Guess we here put some more work into our screenshots (backgrounds, shots flying around, a close up view on Retsof's thrusters etc).  :p

One more thing- Jadehawk is responsible for the textures on all 3 T-M ships in the wiki, the Cataphract is based on Hellstryker's concept and blowfish helped me out with the convertion of the T-MB Cuirassier. Could anyone update the articles please?

P.S. Hope I didn't miss anyone from the graphics/modelling dept.  :p
