Evil & Canon Voyager Uniforms Mod

[killeen21]

Hi there

Anyone remember the evil Starfleet uniforms from the Voyager episode "Living Whitness"?
I thought it would be cool to have them as a mutator mod in Bridge Commander.

I?ve already done some work on them but since I?m quite a nOOb in game modding I came across several problems and I?m hoping that someone here can help me solve them.

I was able to modify the body textures the collars and the hands (leather gloves) in PS but there the problems start.
I noticed that the index finger on the male body model has textures from the forehead applied to it. So when I apply black glove textures to the hands the index finger stays pink.

The problem is that I have only basic photoshop skills and no experience in 3D modeling.
and I suspect that I need to realign the textures on the hand models with a 3D Editor.

Next problem is that I don?t know how to make this mod a mutator.
Are there any tutorials on how to make a working mutator script?

Any help would be appreciated.
I?m also thinking of ways how to make the faces of the Dauntless crew look more evil.
I?ve already worked on Miguel and Felix but I don?t know what to do with Kiska or Saffi (who has been replaced with a trill head actually) but she doesn?t look very scary...

I have added some pics of my work - hope you like them.
If anyone wants to help out or contribute some material - you?re welcome

Diaz looks like he has been hitting the drugs. LOL.

I wasnt very fond of those uniforms. They were practically the voyager uniforms without com badges, with gloves and dark under clothing. Nice job so far.

Are you willing to do perfect voyager uniforms aswell? (as in, without a blurry oversized comm badge. without gloves and the grey underclothes)

As for a mutator tutorial, Tiqhud sent this to me a long time ago. I never got around to using it so I think it might help you more then me. (I tried to use it to make X303 and X304 uniforms but it didnt go well  :lol:)

lol yea - Miguel is actually an android - hence the pale skin the the yellow eyes.

Thanks for the tutorial
- btw do you know how to open the NIF model files in 3D Studio Max?

Concerning the canon Voyager uniforms: I have also done some work on them (minor corrections mostly) But they`re based on another Mod which I downloaded from BCFiles some time ago - I don?t know if it?s ok the repost them there.

I could upload them to filefront and post the link here - if you?re interested....

All the Voyager uniforms Ive seen have been done pretty badly IMHO (blurry oversized comm badges, zipper upto collar looking weird, no mutator control). Im just looking for Voyager uniforms with crisp deatiled textures on the areas mentioned above. If you upload a few screenshots of the Voyager uniforms you tweaked (in a seperate thread) you may get the original makers attention and he/she/it may say if you can upload them or not.

[killeen21]

Hm - I don?t know what you mean by crisp

below is a sample of the enhanced voyager uniforms
I think they?re quite acceptable - the collars of all ingame characters have been reworked to match the uniforms. So this mod can also be used in Single Player:

[Billz]

They are better. But the comm badges are still quite blurry and a bit too big. Is there any chance of those being fixed?

That is, if you decide to publish these ones. If you do, could you make them mutator controlled like the evil uniforms you are working on?

Im sorry to drag yhis thread away from its original intent. Thats why I suggested that you make the classic voyager uniforms have their own thread seperate to this one.

I am still interested in seeing more of your evil uniforms and I think the rest of the community will be aswell.

[killeen21]

I have reworked the Voy canon Uniforms (higher resolution & new smaller com badge)
I think the com badge is maybe a little too small now..
what do you think?

more pics below

[Billz]

10/10 in my opinion. Nice job. How are your evil uniforms coming? Was that mutator tutorial helpful?

[killeen21]

I have magnified the com badge to about 110% of it?s original size so that they match with my First Contact uniforms com badges and I think they?re just perfect now. I have also done some minor corrections on Saffi?s collar. So the canon Voyager Uniforms are basically done now.

I?m now concentrating on getting the evil uniforms done.
If someone could help me with the gloves-problem?
I need to realign the textures on the 3D model - I have 3D SMax available but I have no clue how to open the NIF models...

Expect an update soon..

i like it, looking good

shouldn't kiska be red?  conn officer??

[Billz]

She didnt wear red underclothes in the stock game. But yeah I agree, too much gold on the bridge is distracting. I vote for Kiska to be wearing red aswell.

thats what i did straight away when i got the voyager uniforms. i changed the con officer's uniform to red and made kiska into a male

[JimmyB76]

i agree - Kiska should be red...

[Bones]

as far as I remember every helm officer was wearing red uniform for ex. in TNG pilot has red uniform , FC - Hawk has red uniform , VOY - Paris has red uniform, so Kiska also should wear red uniform

[killeen21]

Ok guys - you convinced me - Kiska is wearing red now:

I have improved the evil uniforms a bit and I have also done some work on Kiska?s face.

She?s a little gothic girl now - black suits her well I think  8)

here?s a screenie for you:

[Ryles]

I can think of at one non command branch helmsman: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Hector_Ilario ;)

[Jb06]

I definitely think red looks a lot better than the gold. have a look for yourself

[Darkthunder]

I'd have to say good work on the Evil uniforms. However, somehow I think the overall look, looks a bit "blurry" in places. And the gloves doesn't look "lether-ee" enough if that's even a word

On a sidenote: jb06, where did you get the Voyager crewmembers for the Intrepid bridge? Looks awesome
