I design shipsets
 

I'm using Doga L2 and so far I've got all the 3D models done and have done about half of the portraits and mini pics. My Shipset is inspired by the voyager episode "the swarm"(the one with all the tiny ships) and the bad guys from Wing Commander Prophecy, the "ships" in my set are formed by smaller vessels which act as one, the more vessles in a group the bigger the ship, one=escort, two=frigate, three=destroyer and so on. The transports and Carriers are the same way, one=small transport, two=medium and so on. The overall look of the set is insect like, and the race pic looks like a big mosquito. I like the look but I'm afraid it might be a little to dark against the background, that was the effect I was going for, a bunch of fierce threatening vessles come from nowhere and kill all in there path, but I'm afraid noone will be able to see them. I put the ones I had done through the style tester and I thing the look OK, but If someone could take a look at what I've done so far I would apreiciate feedback.

Also is there a place to upload files on this site, I think there might be but I haven't found it yet, sre there any special requirements?

You should get L3. It is worth it.

And yes, click the big bullet above and go to the Archive section. You can upload your files there.

Hugh Manatee, I have to agree with CNCRaymond. There is just so much more you can do in L-3. Makes your L-2 models really slick and much more detailed!

Thanks guys, I'm almost done, a few weapons platforms and the fighters and I'm done. I would've gotten L3 but there's no way in hell my 56k modem and my dubious connection to AOL would Last long enough to get all 26 MB of it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif . I will get it later though once I find a download utilliy, that can help me resume broken downloads(*ahem* preferably a free one).

Also I was going to ask, in the first post, are there any extra "optional" ship sizes I could include that are "mod Specific"? thanks again guys(and gals where applicable).

Hugh Manatee; this d/l program will allow you to stop and restart. There is a free Version. http://forty.com/2002_download_wonder.htm

Hope that helps!

Thanks everybody, I got it uploaded and everything, but I have a small SNAFU, I installed the set and it works for the most part except the colony and dreadnaught Pics, In the style tester they show up and look great but in the game the dreadnaught and colony ships are replaced by the "neutral" ships. I don't know why... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif If they were named wrong they wouldn't have worked in the style tester and they were the right size... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif Any Ideas on what the problem might be?

Here they are :1046487967.zip

Style tester is a universal programm - it does not check if names are "correct" SE names. It just corelates name1_mini_name2.bmp and name1_portrait_name2.bmp files and displays them.
And yes, it should be dreadnought with "o" and colonyship, not colony http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Try my html viewers. Can find them either in the gold CD or in my site.

Just checked, small mistakes in the file names:
It's Dreadnought and ColonyShip
