I have a different idea. Not gonna tell it, because I'm gonna use it.

The Ancients "did it" with Apsu-Heks?

Good day people, this is a special report to you straigth from Altair.

Terran and Vasudan archeologists have found something rather disturbing on the internet yesterday...

I have a different idea. Not gonna tell it, because I'm gonna use it.

The Ancients "did it" with Apsu-Heks?

Their reply: IT'S SO DISTURBING THAT I... er, WE ALMOST PUKED.

In other news, the same scientists have found something else that's weird. Bellow is an attached file with the found item.



It seems that the Ancients were speaking in English ( not really... ) and liked to make these sort of things.

And our belowed SG has added a main-hall music for the Ancients.

Alright folks, that's all for now. Stay tuned to 'FreeSpace Modding' for other random modding news.

And yay, the Malias are facing the right way now! (And I spy a sath)

Ok, I'm sorry to necropost, but I was wondering if you still have an open slot for story developement. This mod looks awesome and I like the shivan ships so far. I must admit I'm new to modeling and texturing, but I'm good at coming up with plot ideas and I can critique plots. (I can be like a error check. Example: plot, tech, actions, etc.) If there is an open slot, I would be willing to help. And I understand if you don't want or need my help. Have a good day! =)

[ShadowGorrath]

You made my day! Well, night actually.

Yes, there are open slots. If you have MSN, then add me ( my MSN ID is in my profile ), and we'll talk about it tomorrow ( 2 o'clock at night now so I need to sleep ).

[varsaigen]

lol night. I just finished reading the entire thread, and I like what I see! =D The ships are awesome, the details, ideas, all awesome.
And, sorry to ruin your fun, but I have Yahoo. XD But I can still add you! (and PM/e-mail you)

I'm just surprised no one really jumped for the open slots!  (just realised that the "shivan" ships I mentioned in my last post were ancient ships.) XD And I like the origin of names. Also, I  am good at recoloring skins, so if you need a different colored beam and none exist, I can recolor it for ya! XD

[Flaming_Sword]

Grab pidgin or trillian and create an msn account?

[varsaigen]

D: but I like my Yahoo..... That, and I would hardly check it. lol
At the moment, I am trying to find the HUD screens that are seen (eg; preload before mission, etc.) and making them both Shivan and/or Ancient. I think that this could be fun with either side playable. 

If there's a specific design you want, let me know. I also plan on changing the loading bar to make it more ancienty and I'll make one for the shivans too.

I'm currently working on a set of interface templates. Using those when I'm done with them is probably better than fixing up the 2000 odd buttons and screens all by yourself. I figure me going through the pain and releasing templates is better than every modder going through the pain for a custom interface.

The main question is whether I bother with the 640x480 version at all...

The words on the pic just look like they were put on in paint, 'cept for the glow.

lol. that sounds good. I would love to see your work! =D

It does have that look about them. I think something a bit more solid than the liquid look you have there, Shadow.

[ShadowGorrath]

Well, I was going for the liquid/energy look that looks ancient ( meaning old, not the faction directly ).

If Woomeister allows it, you will soon be a very happy man...

What do you mean?

[Snail]

That was intentionally cryptic. Because I'm an annoying bugger.

[ShadowGorrath]

  Ooooook

Anyway, just retextured all of the Ancient capital ships. Now they're using 3-5 texture combinations, though most of them look good. The ones that don't look good suffer from bad UVMapping.

Now someone needs to tell me how to do, or where can I learn to do shield animations.

[Droid803]

I think that means you might get some...uh...better Ancients models.

Maps, actually.
