Oh cool, thanks - those should do then.
Committed.

[Col. Fishguts]

Ah, BW beat me to it. Most excellent

[Titan]

sweet, thanks.


.... these go in the HUD, folder, right? 

[phreak]

Tried these out the other day, good work

[Commander Zane]

About time someone made a fix.
Nope, I'm stumped on this.

[Snail]

I always thought the shield icons were made from early concept art and not from the ships themselves.

[Commander Zane]

So...these go where now?
Specifically.

[phreak]

They are included with the new media vp release (see the sticky thread), so you don't need to do anything with the files posted in this thread.

[Commander Zane]

Oh wow, so the new MediaVPs did do something productive for the game.

Oh wow, so the new MediaVPs did do something productive for the game.

From what I've heard, you have no idea.

Oh wow, so the new MediaVPs did do something productive for the game.

"This is blasphemy! This is madness!"
"Madness?! This! Is! SPARTA!"

Seriously, ALL of the MediaVP content is 'productive' to the game.

[Commander Zane]

80% of the game's content is enchanced graphics to make an already good game look more new and appealing to the eye, 15% of it being hidden content unlocked through the source code, and the other 5% things that needed to be fixed since Retail, this is one of them.

[ssmit132]

Fair enough, but I balk at the thought that the remaining 95% of the MediaVPs is not something 'productive.'

My $0.02.

[chief1983]

Yeah, I'm thinking that's at least a somewhat poor choice of words.  But there's been far worse.

[Commander Zane]

I know the people who work on the official MediaVPs put all their brainpower into making something great for the community, but when I say that these shield .anis being finally fixed is "productive" over the graphic effects and all that, is that nearly nine years ago something that simple could've been fixed without giving us super sexy Ulysses fighters, Herc Mk. I's and II's, Perseus interceptors, etc, etc, even revamping The Great War into total badassery, and making the game more immersive with internal cockpit models. What I said was a poor choice of words like you said, which is my fault on my part, I have always and will remain to appreciate what everyone here does for this game. I just said that because I no longer have to look at a spaghetti twirl for a Zeus bomber.

[Mongoose]

I honestly never noticed how ugly the retail versions looked myself.  I was generally far more concerned about the four bars around the icon than the icon itself.

[CaptJosh]

Same here. Besides, they're just representations. They didn't need to look perfect. It could be a wireframe diagram of a ship there for all I cared, as long as I could see how my shields are doing. That said, I'm not knocking the improvement in quality. I'm just not paying a lot of attention to it in game.
