Well, I assumed that the coordinator of the image mod would have known roughly whom had submitted what. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>I do have to fix my beam images, does anyone know exactly what area the beams pic uses?<hr></blockquote>
TestPatternBeam.bmp (be sure to use a very high magnification on this BMP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

It appears that the image is tiled from the center (center is between pixels).
- The width is exactly 5 pixels left and right.
- 2 pixels up, and 4 pixels down, are reliably drawn. Pixels beyond that distance may be covered up by the next tile drawn.
- Black is masked, so colors from previously drawn tiles may show through.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Man, converting these MOO2 images is a pain. There are neat green gridlines behind all of the pictures that have to be removed. Most of them are the right size already, but a few are too big.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

An update to the test pattern thing:

- dashes represent the pixels that are tiled over and over.
- stars represent the pixels that only appear at the head of the beam
- the X indicates the very center of the bitmap block you are drawing on.

EDIT: crazy formatting thing.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I don't know what exactly I should do with these images. Any suggestions?

Other.zip

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Suggestion as to keep them or use them for something?

For Keep: Yes. They look very very nice.

For Use:

Artemis/Neural Scanner/Spy Network: Intelligence
Biomorph/Soil Enricher/Microlite: Planetary Utill.
Microbiotics/UA: Medical Tech
Dimensional Gate/Stargate/Planet Construction: Stellar Manip.
Nano: Min/Org/Rad Extraction
Xeno: APS

All IMHO...

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I have updated CombatPack.zip to Version 5.

- Tweaked my helix beams and my electric beam according to the new knowledge gained.
- Added a ring-beam, and a black null-space beam.
- Added the rocket with exhaust trail
- Added 6 levels of meson bLaster images
- Added 5 levels of autocannon shot
- Added 5 levels of DUC shot
- Added 5 levels of Crystalline shot
- Added 5 levels of "glowing blue ball"

Beam Image #30 is a template which shows the tiled area in green, and the non-tiled, but still drawn area in red.
Remember that pure black is masked, and may allow the red-zone pixels to show through and thus be tiled.

EDIT: duh, forgot to mention the whole rocket thing!

I meant: would each of them look better as a facility, a component, or what? Specific uses will be determined by whatever modders choose to use them for.

Updated my mirror.

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>I meant: would each of them look better as a facility, a component, or what?

Some of those might also be nice as an event image.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ, that response is too cryptic.

Speaking of events, do you have any plans for an events imagepack? Some of these could start it off.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ:
I didn't want to waste space on this site, so I emailed my MOO2 facilities to you. I haven't started cleaning up my components screen captures yet. Those are going to be fun. I wish MOO2 was as easy to steal picturse from as BotF was. In BotF, there was one big .res file that contained all of the graphics, both still and animated, and a number of other things. All I had to do was select "Open With" and use WinZip to get all those pics. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I wonder if any pictures from it would be good for SEIV...

Re: Official Image Collection
 

IF: Looks good. I'll add 'em tonight.

Some of those images could be seen as both a component and/or a facility.
As long as there aren't too many submissions going into both packs, I think we can handle it.

Events, Hmmm.

Any portrait image can be used for an event image...
If we added all of them, then we'd double the size of the whole set without gaining many new BMPs.
Perhaps a program to copy only the required portraits from the facilities/components/stellar pack areas, plus a zip with the unique events would do?

[ 06 March 2002: Message edited by: Suicide Junkie ]</p>

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ:
That sounds good. I was only thinking of adding the portraits for the images that wouldn't look right for anything else.

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>Some of those images could be seen as both a component and/or a facility.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Any of the gates, and the planet const.

Leave as is for components, and add some ground below them to turn them into facilities.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Cool, I finally got a straight answer out of you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Those gates would look really weird if you put them on a planet's surface. Maybe they'd be better with a star field in the background?

Re: Official Image Collection
 

VAL: I just noticed I don't have a portrait image for component #662 (the B5 Jumpgate).

Fyron:
They might look silly if they were huge, but if they were the size of a subway tunnel, then you'd have a nice Happiness/SpacePort/Resource bonus facility.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I'll send it along with my next packet of stuff http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Wow, I got a sudden flurry of visitors yesterday. I had 64 unique hits. And, so far I've had 43 MB transfered from my site in March.

So, when is my submission of MOO facilities going to be added to the pack?

Hey, I just got a free domain name registration. Click on: www.kazharii.tk

I made a new account at www.t35.com. Here is the url to the imagemod section: http://galileo.spaceports.com/~kazha...art/imagepack/

See if this image loads from offsite: image

Edit:
Actually, don't list this mirror yet. I think there is a file size cap, but I didn't see anything about that in the TOS agreement. I'll check more into it.

Edit 2:
Ok, I have reread the TOS, and there is a file size limit of 150 KB. So, I guess we can't use www.t35.com as a mirror. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I'm back, and the update is complete.

Re: Official Image Collection

You posted a minute after my Last post, so you probably didn't see my question.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>SJ, your main mirror seems to be down again.<hr></blockquote>Electrical difficulties.
There was a thunderstorm over here for the Last 4 hours or so.

I was right in the middle of modding The Gold Combat Imagemod-mod.
This is basic Gold, except that the weapons make use of the new combat images. All of the common weapons firing images are changed, but many of the uncommon weapons still use the originals.
Of the weapons with new firing images, most have a unique image for each tech level!

Fyron: The kazharii.tk one?
I've never typed in the url directly, just used your sig link or homepage button, or a browser bookmark. It will come in handy when on someone else's machine; the only problem I'd have is remembering the .tk bit. What does the .tk stand for?

PS: CombatPack7.zip adds a few more images that I discovered missing while I was doing the above mod. Null-space, wormhole beams http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif , and Phased Polaron.
The readme also includes instructions on how to install.

EDIT: Imagemodmod link fixed.
Note that a crashing error will occur if you have not installed the combatpack, since SE4 will get an out of bounds error for the higher-numbered images.

Yeah, the .tk is weird, but it is free. It stands for Tokelau. Go to http://www.dot.tk/ for more info if interested.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Next submission:

031002Comps.zip

Includes the P&N stuff worked on in the other thread, new B5 weapons, new B5 non-weapon comps (shields, solar panels) and a single facility with mini.

Note: There is also a tweak to one of the pre-existing B5 Weapons, looks pretty much the same, just a bit clearer and angled better.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Done.
Componentpackv8 is here.

PS: Val, your components.bmp is no longer up to date; there are a few new submissions near the top which you don't have.


Also, just to check: Are there any posted submissions that I have not added yet?

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I'll download the new stuff now. This batch also uses the older components file, sorry.

In this batch I updated a bunch of pics that had cruddy angles and I also added fighter power cells.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

"Once you guys are done with this how are we going to know"

"Done"? I think we'll only be done when we run out of space http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Check SJ's sig for the locations. The imagepack is backward compatable, so if a mod wants you to have Version 3, you can have Version 3 OR LATER installed.

Re: Official Image Collection

I'll be adding a bunch of SciFi crossover images soon; everything except planetpack will be updated.

If anybody has some facilities to submit, now would be a good time: I'd rather not upload a new Version for one new facility.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Then I'm posting you some planets I've been sent captured by from "Star Wars: Rebellion" by Diego Mundt

I only edited them to clean them from the starmap and reduce them to SE4 size.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Val:
Well, I'm not sure what I have. It started with a lot of throwing up on Sunday night. And I mean a lot. That went away around noon on Monday. Then, I developed cold-like symptoms. Fatigue, stuffed-up nose, sneezing, etc. I still have a stuffed-up, runny nose, but it isn't quite as bad as it was a few days ago. So overall, I am feeling somewhat better, but am not yet completely recovered. Thanks for the concern.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

This is only half OT, but does anyone know where I could find some good pictures of robots? I'm working on a robot mod (trying to get the Macross/Robotech/Gundam kind of feel) and I'm hurting for pics.

I'm looking for pics that would be appropriate for ship designs (front/left and top-down). Or even better, anyone know of any sites that have 3-D models posted (like for DOGA 2 or 3) other than the DOGA site?
