Psychotropic Drugs -> Berserk Potion (or Spell).

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Yeah, the berserk potion would be in a little erlenmeyer flask with bubbles. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Is this Sphere better?

EDIT: That was easy enough, here is the torpedo pic:

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Yes, and the mini image looks good too.

CovertJaguar you make very impessive art. Thumbs up!

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Now, if it was a plasma display, you could watch it for hours...

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Perfect! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

That's good, but what about the rest of the stuff I posted about yesterday, Fyron? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

EDIT: Here is another possiblitity for the Contingecy Device:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...cy%20Spell.png
I can make the stone any color you might like.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Wow, thats a pretty awesome picture. Really good !!

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Oooh...Aaaah...

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

You guy like this better than the Last one?:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...ck%20Stone.png

And I have some possible shield generators:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...o%20Shield.png http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...h%20Shield.png
Do you like the one with the shield or the one with out better?

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Ooooh...Aaaah...

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Could you perhaps be a little more specific? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

What, one more 'o' and 'a' isn't enough for you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I like the new wheel-thingy better. The other two look kinda toy-like.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Contingency:
Yeah, the black one is somehow more appealing than the bluish one.

Mana Barrier:
I'd go with the one without the bubble thingie. What exactly the shield energy looks like is dependent upon the specific race.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Does this one look less toy like, narf?:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...Shield%202.png


And Fyron, what about my name suggestions? The compass and spell sequencer? You did see the post right? I do need to know this stuff before I can make images for them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

No, it's how they are lit and colored. They look pLastic.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

I am not really sure how a compass lets you fire more accurately... the sequencer seems like a good enough idea though.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Compass was the only thing I could think of. I'll have to think about that one some more. An accuracy spell maybe?

This better, narf?:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...Shield%203.png
Surely it can't still look pLastic?

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

More glassy, less pLasticy. Maybe try to add some sparkle.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Last one tonight, I like this one:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...Shield%205.png

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

That Last one looks nice.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Well to be honest: I like all of them !! Put all of them in the mod, Fyron http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Better.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Lol, I don't know what to say narf, I can't get it much better.

I do, however, have the shield regenerator:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...egenerator.png

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

And here is the Thunder Lance:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...er%20Lance.png

EDIT: And Here is the Etheral Lance:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...al%20Lance.png

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Yeah, unless you can get a rainbow effect I think that's good enough. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Oooooh...Aaaaah...

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

How's this Multifaceted Sensory Input Node (2)?

http://home.fuse.net/koliset/SE4/Mul...put_Node_2.png

The 3/4/5 levels will have more eyestalks, of course - I will try not to make them look not too much like Beholders http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

(BTW, the Adamant thread slipped off the first page??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Looks organic, which is probably what you wanted.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Sorry, that would be my fault. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif But I have pics to make up for it.

Here is the WildSphere weapon:
http://www.pacifier.com/~gladmill/ad...Wildsphere.png

And the Chaos Ripple:

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Those are really cool. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

I have more. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Fyron can you post a comprehensive list of your components so that we can gain a better idea of what you have? Seprate them by type, IE normal, organic, magic, other.

I would like to contribute some more to your mod and would enjoy making a few more components.

Hey Atrocities! These shipset is ready? Where i can get it?

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

No shadows Version of that multisensory node thingy:
http://home.fuse.net/koliset/SE4/msin2_noshadows.png

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Ed, you may want to keep the lighted Version because it looks better first of all, but also because it will resize better for the mini image. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Via IM we worked out a new Version... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

http://home.fuse.net/koliset/SE4/msin2_3.png

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

I like the new Version.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Here is the whole component family:

Nice shaggy thingie! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Soon.

I take it that no one else like them though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Uh, why? I think you made a very good ships, not the best ones, but very good.
They're difficult to distinguish from each other though, especially on top-down minis.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Pretty pictures. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

any idea when a Version with all these nice pictures will be released?

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Looks like a green Beholder.

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

Darn, I was trying not to make the resemblance TOO obvious http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
But yes, the Beholder was my inspiration for this component...
Next I'll work on the Bioelectric Arc Gun / Electric Discharge / Lightning Ray series, since those 3 all use the same image, which necessitates right-clicking on the component when you encounter it in an enemy design http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
I've already done the Bioelectric Arc Gun:

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

I didn't want to bombard the Image Mod with new updates every day, so I was waiting for some sort of stability to be reached... which of course has not happened, since new images keep being posted every few days. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

CovertJaguar and Ekolis, could you guys package all of the images you have completed in the form of an Image Mod submission on Friday and post the package? I probably won't have much time to make an update until the weekend... BMP format, properly named for SE4 use, preferably with currently unused numbers for Component Pack 23d (probably should tell each other what numbers you will be using to prevent overlaps), with a minis file and credits.txt info? We could make this an every other week sort of affair or something...

Re: Adamant Mod Discussion Thread
 

If we each make our own minis file that would require collating the two, which would be a PITA to cut and paste with pixel accuracy... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
Hmm, I have an idea for a new project! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
A program which takes unnumbered component images and assigns them to slots in the Imagemod!
Basically, it would search for any bitmaps in a folder which are not already named "Comp_n.bmp" where n is a number. Then, it would assign those to slots where there's a missing entry in the sequence. Finally - here's the cool part - it would automatically generate all the mini images and conglomerate them together into a Components.bmp! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Seems pretty easy, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
edit: hey, this would be even cooler - what if it were implemented as a PHP script so all you'd have to do to add to the imagemod is upload a BMP to a special page, and the script would take care of the rest... bingo, realtime updated imagemod with no need for SJ or Fyron to add stuff! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
