Ipsha Battleglobe
 

This is the first ship I've ever done. It's part of the Ipsha shipset for the B5 MOD. The full name of the ship is Ipsha Battleglobe. I'm very proud on it. I hope you people like it too. Any comment? Go right ahead.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Why is this an exe file?

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

It's a selfextracting zip file. It consists of 7 pics.
The Version of the globe you see on them, isn't the final Version, because it has no colors and no decals.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Those images rock! Add bits on, take bits off, you could probably get an entire shipset out of that.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Excellent!

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

First rate, man!

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Aye, well done!

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Why? I think everyone that is going to be downloading mods and such has winzip or some other achive utility.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Nice pictures Timstone, good job.

And i also send people selfextrating files, its sometimes easier.

Keep the good work going.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Yes quality work Timstone.

On the the subject of the file format, in this day and age it's just simple common sense for people to be a little hesitant to run an .exe file on their machine they downloded. Of course we all know you Timstone, so that shouldn't be a problem in this case. But habits are habits. Frankly I am a little suprised Shrapnel allows .exe files to be uploaded.

Geo: Okay, sorry for barking a bit too fast. And you're right about exe-files.

Thanks again for the feedback! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Can also run AV program just to make sure http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

To get my 0.2 cents in, 0.13333333 euro, great job on the pictures. Would love to see those turn into a shipset someday. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'll 2nd that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Mottlee, et all: Unless I missed something I do believe Timstone plans on making this the conerstone a ship set http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

It's good to hear much positive sounds. Thanks ya all! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Fyron: Go bug your mom with those kind of silly questions. I don't mean to sound irritated, but couldn't find something else to pick on? I was busy and thought it was easier for everyone to make it an exe-file. Leave me be.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Yes, I'm currently hard at work to make this shipset a reality. It's comming along just great.
One question, which ships do I need to incorporate in the shipset (e.g. frigate, cruiser, battleship...)?

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Yeah B5 follows the neostandard. But following the naming of convention of SEIV non-gold will get all ships displayed just some images will be displayed several times (eg same pic for escort & scout).
Names: escort, frigate, destroyer, light cruiser, cruiser, battelcruiser, battleship, dreadnought, light carrier, carrier, heavy carrier, space station, battele station, starbase, colony ship, mall transport, medium transport, large transport, small/medium/large fighter.

for the nameing convention, look in pictures/races/(whatever race) and see how they are named. OR look in the back of the SEIV non-gold manual.
one COULD use the neostandard names but PF too lazy to do that himself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

eg Minbari_portrait_heavycruiser for a Minbari heavy cruiser.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, that's the whole point of the neo-standard. They will only look the same if you don't include the neo-standard images. Take another look at my Last post.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Woops, forgot to actually check the links you gave, sorry. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">OK, for bog-standard compatibility with SEIV, you'll need ships listed here.

For neo-standard compatibility (looks prettier under certain mods), add any or all of the sizes listed here .

How did we ever survive without the Encyclopedia Malfadorica?

BTW, I like the sig Timstone, very appropriate given your time-travelling gearbox http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Haha LOL!!
I hope my timetraveling adventures with RD are something to be remembered.

Thanks again for the feedback.

PF: okay, the pics for the scout and escort are the same, can I change this? I mean, can I make different images for them? I hate ti when there are several ships that share the same pic. I want every ship, mine satellite to be different. A hell of a job, but I planning to do that.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Okay, I finally got some rendering done.
It took me sweat, strange warcries and nightmares, but I succeeded. Please tell me what you think of it.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

way too dark.

I am sorry but I don't like it when it's so dark.

Hey, but that's just a word from someone not doing the work....

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Does the AMAZING mean anything to you? Whew! The image is...........ah, AMAZING. Wish I could find a better word! As Unknown_Enemy says it is a little dark.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

I think you're right Unknown_Enemy. I'll make it lighter this evening.
Unknown_Enemy & Mlmbd thanks for the words.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

My 2 cents... I agree with mlmbd and unknown_enemy. It is a too dark. Would be a nightmare ingame. But other wise it looks great. Can't wait to see the finished ship set together. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

I copied the pic into Microsoft Photo Editor
Applyed Image AutoBalence
Looks great.
Very nice ship.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Thanks Gryphin.
Okay, guys how's this pic? Right color? Not too dark?

Wait untill you guys see the final Version of the Ipsha Battleglobe. It's almost ready.
The transports are coming along also, and more designs await the same fate as this Tetraship.
Thanks for all the compliments.

*Dogscoff pokes mlmbd and runs away.

*poke* - *run*

*Mlmbd can't do anything about it because he is sworn to sit just there until the shipset is done.

*poke* - *run*

heheh...

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Hey, Dogscoff easy with mlmbd! I'm almost done with the Battleglobe. I'm making another Version of the globe, so you guys can chose which skin to use for the entire shipset. Just sit tight.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Okay, I've been experimenting with two different skins. The first is Cast Iron and the second is Green Vein Marble.
DL this zip (yes, it's a harmless zip this time) and tell me which one you prefer. I know the pics are a bit dark, but that won't be the case in the final Version.

Different Skins

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Timstone: I like marble better but iron may be more inline with the pics of the battle globe. your call,.

[ December 12, 2002, 11:09: Message edited by: pathfinder ]

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Thanks PF. I let my mom decide what color it should be. She choose the Cast Iron. The marble didn't fit into the pic too well, it made it look too femine she said. Haha.
Mother will is law.

So The entire shipset will be in Cast Iron. Within the hour the Ipsha Battleglobe will be up for view. But first, I'll go and eat.

Re: Ipsha Battleglobe
 

Rags, my butt is not so much sore as tired! You really don't want to know anymore!

dogscoff, you are right. I can't do anything, NOW! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

PF, I agree with you, tis Timstone's call!

Timstone, I like the plain cast Iron look! Oh by the way, I am still sitting here! Waiting! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Timstone, that's OK! The 'new' file works. Damn, I am glad I was sitting down. The BattleGlobe was/is absolutely excellent, first rate! It was worth the 'wait'! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
