Psi-Corps/Black-Ops Fleet Pack - WIP! Help Needed
I am Currently working on a fleet pack of Psi-Corps/Black Ops ships.

IMPORTANT NOTE - I'm working under the Assumption that the Mongoose Publishing Babylon 5 - RolePlaying Game is Canon (except for places where it directly contradicts what is seen on screen/described in the Canon Novels). So Therefore, i'm labling any ships i take from B5-RPG as Canon ships

Psi-Corps
Psi-Corps Destroyer - Reskin/Tbl edit of the EA Omega (Nearly done)
Psi-Corps Dreadnaught - Reskin/Edit of the EA Nova (Nearly done)
Psi-Corps Cruisers - Reskins/Edits of the Hyperion and Midwinter

Psi-Corps Fighter Carrier - Seen in the episode Epiphanies ---> I need someone to model this
[Picture will come when i can scan it in...If i cant find one online]

Black Ops
Black-Ops Thunderbolt - Black Reskin of the Thunderbolt (Mentioned in the Script of the unfilmed Crusade story "End of the Line")

Marathon Advanced Cruiser - From the RPG

This needs to be Modelled - I Picture it being somewhere between the Nova and Midwinter in length (Turrets  are all in the same places as on the Warlock)

Nemesis Advanced Destroyer - the Warlock version of the Omega-X from the RPG

Now i could get away with just reskinning the Warlock with Shadow Textures. But if possible i'd like the model seen above in game (Just a matter of sticking on those 5 shadow spikes.

---
My modeling skills are non-existant. So I require someone who can model to do the ships that need new models: Psi-Corps Fighter Carrier, Marathon and Nemesis

I however running into trouble with the Hyperion/Midwinter and Thunderbolt Reskins - I'm having trouble trying to change the colours of the textures whilst keeping the "armour plate" look to them

leaving the cannon-difficulties aside (I had a lenghly discussion with Skullar about such thing) - try to use the "Edge Detection"-Effect of InfranView;
this will reduce the texture to the lines on the map, than you can turn that map to a greyscale map (thus eliminating the colored lines)
as last step you only have to re-convert the map to .dds or 4bpp (that should do it) .pcx
I did that with the maps of the Nova just for fun and it worked

Ah, I was just taking breath and now you mentioned it , orphi ! ;)

Besides....
"So I require someone who can model to do the ships that need new models: Psi-Corps Fighter Carrier, Marathon and Nemesis"
When you find someone to model for you, tell him to transfer 3 million bucks to my bank account while he is doing favors.


State of the art grafics programs ( as photoshop and even my paintjob ) offer such thing as splitting up a picture into 3 greyscale pictures, the "channels"
One states the original pictures colors, one original pictures brightness and one original pictures "color depth".
do it with your desired painting, and with original map. Then combine orginal brightness and color depth with your color channel to a new picture.

Well sure. He *could* use the 120 squillion ships we included in the mod, but then he wouldn't be living up to his nickname would he?  :rolleyes:

Came across as a kind of cross between a play and a poetry reading. Performers outnumbered spectators and stood all around us reading poetic commentary and playing out stories about hackney. It was certainly different. Much like TE's campaign here.

TE. . . You could re skin them so so easily. I remember making custom Omega skins back from the first release.
Just have a search around. It's hard-light after all. :) freds texture replace and weapons editor should be adequate once you make the skins :nod:

Re: Psi-Corps/Black-Ops Fleet Pack - WIP! Help Needed
Well, I've actuall completed the Reskin of the Omega, i just need to write it's TBL entry. Reskinning the Nova requires me to do exactly the same as i did for the Omega, so its an easy Job.

I know there are hundreds of other ship in TBP, but ive always had a thing for the EA ships. I kind of prefer the humans against the enemy, with occasional help from other aliens. (Enemy can be anyone). If i lived in the B5 universe, i'd be more likely to join EarthForce than the Rangers

Re: Psi-Corps/Black-Ops Fleet Pack - WIP! Help Needed
Well mainly because i know more about how humans think and act...I mean i am one (despite my sister's claims otherwise  ;) )

Also just something about the military astetic that the EA ships use appeals to me.

Behind that are Human-Alien hybrid vessels like the Shadomega, Hunter and Showbolt. (Hunter is the Official class of the Hybrid ship from crusade, according to the B5:RPG)
