DS9 Ops - bridge WIP from start to finish

[hobbs]

Too bad we can't make Sisko's office window with animated background simulating rotation of the station , or can we ?

could you have a long wrap around view screen which manages to go round to the window?

[Lurok91]

Thanks for all the kind words     As I'm trying to get it as close to canon as can (?), just think it's ok so far but glad people seem to like it.  It's a bugger to do, though    Been on a massive DS9 rewatch to get screencaps, and as soon as think got something right, suddenly find 'oh, it's meant to be like that', so all gets changed. Anyway, gives me summat to do in spare time...

Guess anything is possible.  Hopefully will come up with something...

goddamn lurok, youre absolutely amazing and totally Bridge God status  
how i wish you were here just a few years ago when 3rd era was going strong and active, before they all left to excalibur...

nevertheless, even if youre late to the party - youre doing amazing shit for BC and i personally cant thank you enough 

[Morgan]

Lurok, as usual I have some good DS9 sound effects for when you get to that stage, including the genuine DS9 red alert sound that I personally extracted a while back.  ;)   If you'd like I'd be happy to send them over; I've been using them for the Galor bridge for some time.

[Lurok91]

Thanks,N    Be a while though before at that stage. But send anyway.  In meantime just some more WIP.  The rails were a right pain in the a**.  And I can see the viewscreen being a challenge.  At this stage most of the basic elements in place (roof has been done separately) , so apart from finishing off furniture and that engineering arm, most of work now going to be lots of mesh vertex and texture tweaking.

[Blackrook32]

Impressive Work, Lurok! 

I know some DS9 freaks who would absolutely "flip" over this set! Though, I really need too start checking this place out more often...

indeed!!  how many times in BC's history has this been tried and never panned out??  somehow i think lurok will make it happen

yeah, bitch, you really do ffs!  lol  :    
lol j/k
*runs*
you and me go back for many years, dont make me have to drag your tired ass back to the bar all the time now, you dont make it easy
remember back in the day when we were so young? 
ugh now we're tired old queens lol
 

[King Class Scout]

HEY...i'm the "tired old queen" around here, wiseguy! 

considering there's a brand new DS9 to go with it's ops, I can't wait.

[Blackrook32]

LOL @ Jimmy & King Class Scout

I get bored every now and then. I only start yapping when I see exceptional works being produced, and Lurok's w.i.p.'s have certainly caught my attention. I know c2x tried to convert this set way back when, but did not know how to open the DS9 the Fallen's .DMS file, that was back in 2003.

@Lurok:

I have a theory, On how you can work around the OPS's main viewscreen issue. Make the OPSviewscreen.NIF mesh oval, just slightly larger than the OPS viewscreen, and apply it that way. It should resolve the rectangular issues.

Man, that would have been a bitch to get that thing into BC back then.  I had no idea C2 tried it.  Was dasher and his foundation even around back then? :/

I never had any dealings with Dasher42, but Foundation is the bases for BC modding. One would not be able to make any mods for BC without it.

Back then, by 2003, I believe the Dreamyards Nebula, Defiant, NX-01, Excalibur and Intrepid bridge sets were out. I known guys, (myself included) who have experimented with porting Unreal Tournament maps and Elite Force: II sets too Bridge Commander. You would be surprised what people don't show publicly.

Lurok's work on the OPS sets for example, is the closest I've seen to date, that surpasses the DS9: the Fallen set. I can't wait to see the finished product! For me, personally- It will be the final jewel in my DS9FX Xtended install

I've been around since near enough the beginning of BC but I had no idea that people had gotten maps from UT in!

Surely you remember me from BCU blackie?

Of Course

I'm really excited about Lurok's work, because I remember a time,(as I'm sure you do) when we had NO modded Bridges, only a ton of retextures of the Galaxy & Sovereign sets. I've been around since before the BC was released, when BCU was BCN in 2001. Now, those things people claimed what was impossible- well kinda is, lol. It's good to see modders like Lurok pushing the envelope.

Oh yes I remember all too well.  I thought I was the mother effing bomb when I installed my first retexture!
I do miss the stock sovvie viewscreen though.  The canon one just doesn't sit right with me.

damn right it is.  We need more people to push! I can't push mind you given that I injured my shoulder in the gym a few nights back.  Pull-up bar decided to divorce the wall while I was using it :/

Engineering arm and ceiling

That is just some astounding work, Lurok!

BR, C_O, Jimmy mind if I pull up a pew - it's nice to reminisce about the good old days. Any of you kids come with me from the KA.com forum?

[Bones]

It's time to say it properly like noobs do : YAY!

COOKIE!

Uhm, watch Fist Contact Obvious.  Stock viewscreen IS canon.  They just updated it for Insurrection and Nemesis.

Lurok, I envy you my friend.  You're DEFINITELY pushing the envelope here!

Oh. I thought it was that holo screen thing that vanished into the wall..
Anyway, back on topic!

Yeah that
