BC Galactic Renaissance - New WIP Thread

[flarespire]

i have a weird solution to fixing the smoothing errors, before exporting to a nif, export to a 3ds, open it with milkshape and export it as an SMD for half life/half life 2, then open the smd in milkshape and export to a 3ds, load that up into 3ds max and smooth it and its should fix the errors, ive had to do that alot with my gmod projects.

[CDR_Daxian]

ugh.. those smoothing issues on the MKII are going to haunt me for the rest of my life 

what cockpit is that in the 3rd pic? ive not seen it before?

otherwise everything looks to be coming together nicely!

Lurok91's Late Runabout Bridge

if you need a link to it, here it is http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Runabout_Bridges_Pack;117898

and CyAn1d3, i have never seen any part of this ship that is not amazing, this is high quality work, and i'm glad i can include it in BCGR.

UPDATE:

i've had to take a few steps back from the Bridge Plugin Core, it appears that one of the mods after/before it don't like loading up in a second QB Session.

trying to find out which mod it is and fix the order.

EDIT:

BPCore Goes First.

Installing Bridges by release Date order.

CyAn1d3, can you change hues of a Targa file? if so, i'd appreciate it if you could change the chairs in the Sovereign Bridge to a Blue color.

Thanks for the support and comments, greatly appreciated.

[CyAn1d3]

im my own worst critic.....

as for the hues, yea.. that can be done easily. what all do you need?

[CDR_Daxian]

Editing Sovereign Bridge

CyAn1d3: I figured out how to change a hue, by using GIMP and MSOffice Picture manager, though i would still like those chairs.

More Screenshots Below

(the chairs kinda glow... derp)

[CyAn1d3]

crap! thanks for reminding me!

i keep getting side tracked.... 

[CDR_Daxian]

UPDATE:

Nemesis VS Post-Nemesis VS Mix

any ideas?

[Bones]

I would turn seats and carpet to the very same blue we have here on BCC, something like really washed out navy blue, it would look ace ;)

[CDR_Daxian]

sorry bones, decided that i'm going to turn it to the Mix (thanks for the suggestion though), with the shirs being blue and the carpet being a nice red for the main color, blue on the edges (the Mixed one in the photo in my previous post was incomplete)

sorry for not posting in a while, i've been busy. Mostly with all of the work i have for High-School this week. I have been putting some of my time into the mod nonetheless.

thanks

Captain_Daxian

[Bones]

Sure, it's your mod afterall ;)

[CDR_Daxian]

applied finishing touches to mixed bridge-color layout (screenshot040 in my previous post).

i Also renamed most of the animated LCARS for the side-stations to reflect where the characters are sitting.

just wondering what to do next?

what to do, what to do......

[JimmyB76]

why not create a full list of everything youve done thus far (long post, perhaps, but thats ok)
and then it might be easier to make suggestions?

Okay, there's my progress, sorry for taking up so much space.

Now then. that's all i can see/think of...

Any suggestions?

[CDR_Daxian]

UPDATE:

I have bad News

Unfortunately, I am going to have to postpone Work on the Mod entirely, due to my school giving me insane amounts of work, and due to the fact that I am going to have to Restart the Entire Mod from Foundation.

This is incredibly dissapointing, but Real life has decided that I need to stop working for BC for a while

I think I'll try to restart during my Christmas Break, and see how i will go on from there

Thank you,

Captain_Daxian

[CDR_Daxian]

I guess i better close this thread

1. Real-life issues always seem to get in the way of modding
2. Restarting from scratch in my spare time on weekdays isn't exactly ample time
3. my threads always seem to go dead, so i figure i better post back when i actually have some solid progress.

See you guys around

[CDR_Daxian]

Okay, as some of you may know, I tried creating a Large mod, but failed. It was entitled BCGR (Galactic Renaissance), but limited time and schoolwork overcame my ability to work on it, (and i found more than a dozen bugs - that I don't know how to fix without starting over - came up)so It was a BUST. I also discovered that my Generations Bridge Modification was permanently lost, both on BCFILES, and on my hard-drive. Merp

But there are some successful Submods that I created from it. One would be the Canon Crew statuses TGL modification, and another would be the Nemesis Interface Modification. A loading Screen. There's also the Post Nemesis Bridge Graphics Modification, along with other miscellaneous modifications.

I plan to release these as seperate mods (the ones that are my own) to BCFiles, seems as I haven't had any recent activity in several months (lost track).

Anyways, I also wanted to check what everyone's been up to these months, so, Yeah.

Thanks
