Boy... Thick, heavy construction like that makes you think it's a battleship gun. This might be more suitable to replace the DUC than to represent a laser. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Yeah, the texture might be improved but the design is not 'futuristic' at all. Look at the default DUC image again. It's got quite a bit of color and detail. I sort of like default image #78 for a laser but I've already used it for something else... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I guess I'm looking for a 'Lost in Space' sort of laser. Just a few of those 'flanges' instead of many, and mostly silvery colored.

Man, I should really learn how to use Blender -- I can think of wonderful shapes and textures, but have absolutely no knowledge of any way to put them into a 3D model. ;-)

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Here's another torpedo firing bitmap... it's the Legendary Spazer (three purple energy bolts) - borrowed it from Megaman 21XX (great fangame by the way! check it out at www.stroutsink.com). SJ pointed out that Geocities doesn't allow remote linking, so just paste the URL into your browser:

www.geocities.com/edwardkolis/torps.bmp

Re: Official Image Collection
 

If Geocities is that tight-assed I'll not grace them with a hit. I've already got filters to block out the pop-ups embedded in their pages when I have an important enough reason to visit a page there. Find another site if you want to show people your new torp designs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Geocities recently blocked offsite linking for most files, and blocked FTP programs.

I recommend prohosting to everyone.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I hate all those so called free hosts out there and their ads. That's why I decided to use my ISPs space...I get 10Mb plus 300Mb bandwidth - no ads and a relatively simple address. Throw in the fact that you get 7 e-mail accounts each with a corresponding 10Mb webspace...it's not bad at all.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Geocities has blocked off-site images since the beginning of time, AFAIK. I have no reason to believe they weren't blocking everything except .HTML links since the start either.

It's just the way it is. Web-accessable disk space at the cost of no direct links, silly ads, and $0 for the poster. Take it or leave it.

I fail to see the problem with the way they operate. It's not like the ads are self-replicating popup/unders. The ones I've seen (on my own Geocities site) aren't flashy, seisure-inducing annoyances, and even have a minimize/close button that actually closes the thing!

PS: pasting the url into your browser is the same as clicking it. You need to go to your geocities site, and then paste the link.
Or, just make a simple 1 kb HTML page which displays the images, and link to the HTML page.
Or, upload the images to shrapnel, seing as they are on topic here.

EG: http://www.geocities.com/hohoho611ca/ships.html

Re: Official Image Collection
 

There is a new patch for the PlanetPack available!
only 180kb, there were a few images from 622 to 630 that were off by one.

See:

Re: Official Image Collection
 

My mirror is updated.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

So is mine..now I just have to get around to refining and submitting those images Barron requested.

Phoenix-D

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I updated my mirror. I looked at the other sites and spotted two things. Imperator Fyrons site has only v1.10 components but newest is v1.11 and Phoenix-Ds mirror doesn't have a link to my site. Everything else seems to be in order.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I found an error. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif The portraits for 336 and 337 in the planet images are reversed.

Hmm... I don't have the latest components? Most odd...

Edit:
Ok, my mirror now has the latest components Version too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ... get the imagemod server Online! I have a submission, but it is currently offline. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Ah; New components for the imagemod.

http://students.uwsp.edu/kmusa047/Im...submission.zip

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Sorry, Fyron. Imagemodserver has a 24-hour ping time, and a typical maximum bandwidth of 1.44 megs per day.

IE: I moved, and don't have a direct internet connection anymore: I'm using floppies.
You can post or email the file, and I can DL it from work, though...

Urendi: got it. It may take a while to get the updated Version back out to the world, though.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Yeah, I know. But that post was made long before you moved. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Heh, oops. That's the problem with responding to the comment via another channel, and then having the thread bumped back up http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Anyone care to offer new images for the Image Mod?

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I've got a score or so I need to submit. Facilities, Components & Planets.

Just have to pack 'em all up and send in to SJ one of these days...

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I have a couple of pics that could be included. They're primarily Borg oriented and can be found in (appropriatly enough) my Borg mod that I posted a few days ago in the race/mod section.

There are a couple pics that are transplants from bmps in other areas, like troops (for the boarding parties), while others I yanked off the web and polished up a bit.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Hey SJ, are those star pics I sent you ever going to be included into the Image Mod? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I'll check to see if they survived the crash tonight.
And I'll see about uploading some new Versions, too.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

new Versions, woo-hoo!

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Just out of interest, how many mods are using the image mod so far? I only ever play Proportions, so I tend not to notice what happens in the other mods.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

First of all, love these pictures. They are awesome. But what the heck is # 407 in the planet list supposed to be? A giant bunny planet? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Can someone make more of the cube planets? I think an all cube planet quadrant would be cool, but with only 6 pictures it would be a little redundant. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Those are some Great pics!! Excellent! Whew, lots of work.

geo, how many planet pics would you need for the Mod??

mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The new deluxe Version of FQM will use the planet pics. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

P&N uses them. The B5 Mod usees them.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Geo: I did the 'bunny' planet. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
It was supposed to be a freak coincidence that a planet / moon / asteroid / whaetever happened to look like a bunny.
Designed for hand-made maps really to make sure it really is unique http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Alright. I have here a submission without any credits to use.

"Stellar_moons.zip" Anybody?
Looks like sphereworlds orbiting various stars.
If it was yours, speak up so I can get this update posted!

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Dang, I got some stuff I didn't yet send you, gotta download and make sure the B5 Mod isn;t conflicting with any of the pics.

Added a bunch of Facilities, some planets and a few components (they are mostly in the 'reserved' range).

The B5 Mod does take extensive advantage of the image mod. The Sci-Fi X-Over Mod usees it too, as I imagine the Star Trek NG Mod will/does. Doesn't proportions use it? It's been so long...

Re: Official Image Collection
 

The Star Trek: TNG mod might contain a few imageMod pictures (probably just some planets), but will not use/require the imageMod. Instead it will contain a little image mod of its own.

However, I'll be letting some of the images I make of stuff to be used in the imageMod later on...at least once I've made them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

Re: Official Image Collection
 

the Art of War mod will use the Image mod... once I finish it, that is...

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ, I sent geo some cubed planets for the mod he was talking about. He said I was talking to the wrong person. I should talk to you about getting them included in your image mod. If that interest you. I could send a zip with a couple dozen planets that I did. If you wish. Also I can make a lot more, if you want. He did say that some of them were a little dark. I did fix that. This are all new bmp's.

mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Yes, certainly.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">http://www.geocities.com/hohoho611ca/imagepack.html

So, post it here or send it to me, with the minis, the portraits, and a credits.txt.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ,
Thanks, for info!
This is link for the planets!
1037297998.zip

mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Problem with your submission:
I don't see any minis in that zip.
See PLANETS.BMP for details.

Note: You can submit the minis as individual image files, or as one long strip of images as seen in planets.bmp. Don't bother including the whole planets.bmp, since it'll be a bigger download, and I'll have to move your images anyways.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ, Yes I am Sorry! Got the new zip and link, with the mini's.

1037312937.zip
I won't let it happen again.

Is there someone I should tell about the other link??

mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Richard might know how to get rid of the old files. Or at least who on his staff to ask.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Richard is the one in charge of the forum and the site, so he should be the one to ask. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Some things for the Mirror hosts:

1) Fyron, your Online.gif is 4 pixels too short, and 4 pixels too thin. Can you download someone else's copy to make yours match?

2) ZeroAdunn is joining the family of Imagemod mirrors!
Everybody update your list of alternate mirrors, please!
See one of my mirrors to get the relevant table entries.

3) A planetpack update will be coming out this weekend. Includes Fyron and ZeroAdunn's new submissions.

Also, anybody know where the stellar moons came from? Please!

Re: Official Image Collection
 

I think having preview images of the components.bmp, planets.bmp, etc, files would be an asset for the imageMod. It would give Users a chance to take a quick look before spending the time to download the files.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

4) Add links to the previews of Components and Planets. See my mirrors for details.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ditto for Exodus. EXTENSIVE use. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Mirror all fixed now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

SJ, I did U/L another zip for submission. It is 1037450850.zip

Everything (I hope) is there. Nebulas, Reg Planets, SQ Planets, Ringed Planets and a Comet. With all the MINI's and text file. Hope they are good for you.

mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Official Image Collection
 

The zips I saw from you up to this point did not include the rings, comet, and nebulae.

However, browsing through the new bits of the one you just posted there are three things I note:
1) the comet has a bright edge to it. The way it works in SE4, that should be pure black instead so that the masking will work.
2) Many of the nebulae are already included elsewhere.
3) Saturn in already included. And ISTM that the one in the zip there is a tad squished from the rescaling.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

does anybody else get some kind of mumbo-jumbo in the quickviewer, or a message that there are no viewers that can view the image when looking through mlmbd's submission?

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Well, the imagemod previews are meant to be browsed to, rather than downloaded. They're in GIF format.

As for viewing Mlmbd's submission, it seems to be regular BMPs. Of course, I use Irfanview with all the plugins, so I could see it fine even if it was .FSH or .LWF or something crazy like that.

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Is there something wrong with ZeroAdunns mirror? It gives me "URL was not found".

Re: Official Image Collection
 

Well, technically, yes. Last I heard it was still under construction.

The links DO say "Unknown" status, so...
