New Oxidran Shipset
 

Finally! The new Oxidran set is nearly finished. The little dolphins will soon have a set all of their own! Plus, it will have some neo-standard images! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Here are some sample images:

Very nice...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">If I provided you with some images...say for Hydran, Gorn, and some others that appear in SFC2, could you do ships sets. I would then be able to use them in my SFB Mod....? What would you need to turn them into SE4 usable?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, first of all there would have to be enough to fill all the basic ship and base sizes and then as many for the units as is possible. Secondly they would have to have black or as close to black as possible backgrounds so they can be easily masked. Thirdly, they must have a top down view and a SE4 style left facing portrait. PM me for anything further on this topic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Lookin GOOD. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New Oxidran Shipset
 

The designs are very nice, but the textures make the ships look a bit cartoonish. You need a subtler, more detailed look to give an impression of their supposed size.

Re: New Oxidran Shipset
 

I know they look kinda cartoonish. That is the look I was aiming for. Same with my Chillian set. Realism is not my style. In fact, this set doesn't use any textures at all! I know it's weird but this just looks right to me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

All done! You can download the Oxidran from here:

Remember that the AI files are set up for Eclipse Mod and you will have to transfer a different AI fileset over to them for use in stock games or other mods.

Re: New Oxidran Shipset
 

hey, i need to offend you. Im using dial up, and your pictures are definitly WAY to big. Cant you size them down ?!? Think about the people who dont have DSL. It makes me really angry FFS, everywhere on there net you see big pictures, flash movies and shiny buttons BUT NO ONE THINKS ABOUT THE poor dial up user....

Please, scale them down !

Re: New Oxidran Shipset
 

That is not quite true. SpaceEmpires.net has minimalist themes available that use almost no graphics, so have fast loading times. ExtraLite and Kaput, for example. Some people think of the dialup Users. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: New Oxidran Shipset
 

Sorry. These pics are all small jpg's that are under 100kb. I figured that would only take about 2 seconds for each picture on a 56k modem. I guess I was wrong. Sorry. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: New Oxidran Shipset
 

heh well at least now you know of the problems of us poor 56k bastards http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

@ Fyron: yeah you right, there are still a few dial-up-friendly pages. Yours is really great http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif thanks a bunch for reminding me

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Whoah now. I dont remember there being THAT many races in SFC2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif I remember Mirak, Lyran, Hydran, Gorn, ISC, Feds, Klinks, and Rommies.

Instead of using this thread, lets use private Messages to arrange this. Remember, I will only be making the sets if there are enough images in the right format. Also, remember it won't be a quick deal. I would have to work them in among my own projects.
