Making the Mission Ops/Communications panel for Saffi now. 2048x256 resolution :o. Going to be a real pain in the ass to texture, but it should look very good ingame.

DUDE! VERY nice! I adore the lighting!

Barihawk · « **Reply #123 on:** October 06, 2008, 07:37:22 PM »

While I am taking downtime to work on Saffi's XO/Comm/Ops panel, does anyone have suggestions for the ambience of the bridge? Don't be shy now.

EDIT: Since I never get any cookies, I should note that after this I might need a break from the Generic Bridge Project. Therefore I will probably be working on a ST6 Constitution bridge with 100% original computer screens (oh God) and I *may* use the Miranda bridge as a base so it will have functioning shield monitors (I think it's essentially the same bridge).

EDIT2: Scratch that, going to use the Constitution bridge. The shield monitor looks nicer and there's more I can do with the bridge. The bridge should look amazing with better textures.

Aww, bari wants cookies? *gives cookie* You have been doing some great work, as for ambiance, it ought to be bright/cheerful at green alert, but at red it needs to be dark/serious and slightly washed in red. (Look at TWOK, everything is bathed in red.)

oh I like the idea of new ST6 Entarprise bridge

I was about to make it after Ent-B overhaul but now I'm confident that this bridge is in good hands ;) good luck with it

I will try with the red alert thing but that will take a little tinkering. I will be making the bridge just a smidge darker so the rear panels don't look out of place at red alert (for some reason they aren't hooked up to the overall lightmap).

And the ST6 A bridge will be a long time out, I fear. It will mostly be an LCARS upgrade and a general prettying up.

yay!! im so glad to hear that! i have always wished for a TNG-era retextured Connie bridge

any chance you could whip one up with a Connie MSD and all? unless youd prefer just a generic bridge module; either way, ill be happy having a TNG era Connie bridge with TNG lcars and such

Barihawk · « **Reply #128 on:** October 10, 2008, 04:47:20 PM »

Lol, Baz is making one for you. My A Bridge will be TMP styling. Sorry to disappoint.

But yes, I will be making a brand new Connie MSD that will be used throughout the bridge. This one will be the Enterprise A herself.

ya i saw that... but a whole new bridge is different from a retexture... a whole new bridge means modeling, texturing, lightmapping, scripting, animating, etc etc etc
a retexture is a little "easier" (for lack of a better term) since all that is (pretty much) already done...
if i had any clue how to do lcars well (as you guys can), id make a retexture myself and release one

but im useless at it lol

aww drat lol j/k

lol j/k

Barihawk · « **Reply #130 on:** October 10, 2008, 04:58:32 PM »

Uh...sure

.

But it's in line after:
-Olympic Bridge
-ST6 Abridge
-TNG Era Generic (I will probably throw the Gagarin MSD in there)

There are 2 available on BCF, one in the CTU Bridge pack and another by yopyop. Sadly, yopyop didn't upload all of the retexture on accident and has since lost the files.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #133 on:** October 10, 2008, 05:17:40 PM »

of course i know about those

im just not too fond of the CTU lcars, and yopyop's bridge is missing one lcars texture (i think the msd)... hmmm maybe ill PM yopyop and ask if he still has it somewhere...

anyway, i have tried both of them... there arent too many mods on BCF that i dont know about already

Barihawk · « **Reply #134 on:** October 19, 2008, 01:42:45 PM »

Sorry for the lack of progress. I am spread kind of thin about the internet. Running a major historical roleplay simulation as staff, some other games I help staff, and doing TOS/TMP hardpoints on Legacy (although I just realized I have to go back and redo my ENT hardpoints to conform them to new ideas I have had).

I'll try to have progress this week as I finish Saffi's panel base textures and then move on to the helm and nav/tactical panels. Then comes the arduous process of detailing all of the panels thusfar to make them nice and pretty.

Barihawk · « **Reply #135 on:** October 19, 2008, 09:12:11 PM »

Completely redid the lightmaps at the back of the bridge. The problem is that There are only two textures between three panels so the mid level lighmaps can not be mirrored like the upper row. This also serves to darken the back of the bridge (which is not on the main lightmap for some reason) and provide realistic looking lighting. As for the separation between the panels, I can't help it. It's a little more noticeable on this set but oh well.
