Great reference shots... holy cow, I'm not sure that much else needs to be worked on, other than possibly a wire frame or something?

Well, it's finally out! Thanks for all of your support on this, everybody!

Okay, I request this thread be locked or deleted now. No point in doing version 2 anymore. Somebody else just took my idea and tried to make it more "realistic" even though I said i'd do this for version 2.

Oh well.

CJ, if their interpretation of your damage textures isn't what you wanted, then make your own. Just because someone beat you to it diesn't mean you have to give up. I personally would love to see what you come up with.

If your doing this for other people that's your first mistake. You should mod for yourself/your own game the way you want to, in your own time and your own style.

I can lock this thread if you want but I think that it would be a mistake to give up now.

SMBW · « **Reply #46 on:** May 09, 2008, 09:08:23 AM »

don't give up now! It might be frustrating if someone else used your idea but I think you should ignore that and just go on with your work. I like it very much so far.

Thanks for the comments, people!
OK, when I posted the message earlier I mustn't have been thinking straight. I'm not gonna give up, not now. Thanks to you all for believing in me!

Okay, I'm going to take a long shot here and assume I am the person who "took your idea" I don't see the people who have previously made damage textures getting upset, as nobody owns the rights to them and only them making damage textures or any other mod. I don't see Scotchy complaining about DJ making his Galaxy class mod, for example.

If people want to use my textures, thats cool but as was said above, I made these for myself first and if anyone else uses them that is just a bonus. I was simply inspired to create my own as I was not happy with anything else available. If you do create your version 2 (I never saw anything said about you making a v.2 similar to mine) and I like it more, I'm sure I'll use it.

Apologies, you were the person I was referring to.
I didn't mean any offense, I was just a little depressed, is all. No offense meant.
I can be a bit of a jerk sometimes...

Moving on from this... SMBW is right. You've done good work so far, so no giving up!

Can't wait to see what else you can come up with! Best wishes!

Great! Nice to hear! I'm pretty sure the two different projects will come up with different damage textures. I expect both to be very good when they are finished, so everybody can choose his favourite. Or there will be a mod which allows using multiple damage textures (that is if that's possible to do, lol).
Anyway reading the comments I would say you have the support of the community....

K, lets steer this back on topic then pls.

CJLarkin · « **Reply #54 on:** May 09, 2008, 05:46:47 PM »

OK, version 2 is a lot more darker, like they are in some cases when there's no power to the ship. Like a sort of dark, heavy carbon effect. I am wondering if it's possible to script something that, when a ship has lost a particular subsystem (Life Support?) or has been destroyed, instead of the fiery ones, the damage textures would switch to these dead ones. Is this possible at all?

CJLarkin · « **Reply #55 on:** May 11, 2008, 06:32:41 AM »

Here's an update to version 2 for you all to see:
Improvement Suggestions welcome and anticipated.

Looks good, but try making the edges a bit more 'frayed', they're too clean at the moment.

CJLarkin · « **Reply #57 on:** May 11, 2008, 06:54:58 AM »

How's this:
