Several of us are teaming up to bring you a new re-texture. Main props go to Bsilver2988 who will be doing an amazing job, Supersmegg for help with LCARS, and Mark and Sean for "emotional support" and hopefully some help making this a separate bridge.
I am looking for an Oberth class bridge. It has constantly bothered me to play ships without an appropriate bridge. However, it seems in the mad dash of retextures the Oberth has been neglected (along with ships like the Akira, Norway, Steamrunner, and so forth). Apparently, it is not as important as having 500 billion shoddy Sovereign class textures at BCFiles.
What I would like is a TNG-Era Oberth class bridge. The ship's name would be the Pegasus. According to the episode of the same name, the Pegasus' bridge seems to look like either the 3rd Era Nebula or Ambassador class. I personally do not mind which is used. Or even a bridge not made by 3rd Era. I don't mind.
What I am looking for, however, is detail. I have a good rig, so cloudy textures at max settings will not do it for me.
I know 3rd Era is busy, so maybe a fan can take this? Or perhaps a tutorial on which textures in these bridges I should replace with Oberth MSD images? If the latter is the case, a tutorial on how to make the bridge a separate item on the selection menu would be great.
I apologize for posting this here, but it is a bridge request. And on top of that, it seems simple enough.
Thanks in advance! Please let me know if this is a hit or miss.
-
Im gonna stand back and see some responses to this, but please restrain yourselves from any flaming.
-
Forgive me, as I am new to the BC community, but what flaming could occur from this?
I am not putting down any modders, and I shown willingness to do it myself with instruction (I can't seem to find a Bridge modding tutorial.).
I am a major fan of 3rd Era's works. This re-texture will NOT be distributed in any fashion. I am also looking forward to your upcoming projects, especially the TNG Excelsior.
-
i can tell you simply, it won't be done, very sorry...
if i can quote Mark from FF (where someone else had made a Bridge Request)
There are only 2 people active in bridge commander who know how to make a bridge from start to end, one of them is writting this post.
There are 3 bridges in the pipeline about to be released for BC; those are the intrepid v3, the galaxy refit, and the excelsior refit (TNG). After these bridges are complete there will be no more work done for BC bridges as we will be concentrating on ST Excalibur.
so there ya go :)
*goes to join Mark, who is sitting at the bar*

Well, I am not asking for someone to build me a bridge from scratch. No sir, not at all. That would be rude to just assume I could walk in and within 10 minutes have someone do my bidding.
I'm asking if someone can re-texture an existing bridge (in reality, only like 4-5 LCARS images and a dedication plaque) to replace the Ambassador or Nebula MSD/logos with the Oberth Class and the USS Pegasus.
I could do this myself in 10 minutes, but I do not know how to set up an existing bridge like a Nebula or Ambassador to make it where it will show up in the bridge selection menu and after that work in-game.
That's why I said a "simple easy re-texture" instead of "build me a world-class bridge in 10 minutes."
EDIT: I also mentioned "(not specific to 3rd Era)" in the topic title because my post is aimed towards the bridge modding community in general. I didn't want you guys to take time away from your projects to do this for me.
-
ooook, you can drop the slight attitude you're throwing lol
so very sorry for misunderstanding you :)
-
I apologize for the attitude. Sometimes I have a little trouble with the giant "This user has 0<5 posts" next to my posts. It leads to misunderstandings.
Now that you understand what I am saying, do you have a link to a tutorial that can help me?
-
EDIT: I also mentioned "(not specific to 3rd Era)" in the topic title because my post is aimed towards the bridge modding community in general. I didn't want you guys to take time away from your projects to do this for me.
To be perfectly honest, the 'bridge modding' community ONLY consists of Mark and co, including textures. Im not saying someone outside of the group would'nt be able to do it. I mean, I myself would like a retexture of the Excelsior bridge to look like the one seen IN 'Star Trek 3: The Search For Spock' but I have accepted the fact that 3rd Era or anyone else wont be doing it because of other projects going on.
All we really can do is ask that someone plays around with textures (like yourself if you have photoshop) and see what we come up with.
Also, Im not trying to make myself to be 'holyier then thou' or anything like that but asking someone to do a retexture for you alone is a little bit rude.
Please dont ban me admins! I tried to lay it out as politely as possible. Im sorry for tredding on this subject.
-
Never said I demanded a retexture.
In fact, due to the complete lack of Oberth MSD's, I am making one of my own. It's looking pretty good at about 35% completion.
As I said before, I am fully willing to do it myself. I know how to replace textures (which is all the retexture), but I need to know how to make the Oberth bridge separate from say...a Nebula (of all of 3rd Era bridges, it has the most scientific readouts on LCARS, which means less editing for me).
And to say that 3rd era is the ONLY bridge modding group out there is a little extreme. I am sure there are many people out there who can do retextures. Granted that Mark and Sean are the best of the best, mind you.
I was referred here from a Legacy forum, actually.
(http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/8391/oberth120deckscw4.png)
Needs a little smoothing around the Starfleet logo. I could also use a tip as to what font Starfleet seems to use when I start adding subsystems.
-
And to say that 3rd era is the ONLY bridge modding group out there is a little extreme.
But they really are the only bridge modding group left. Alot of people that were bridge modders have moved onto other games. Except for Mantis, but he hasnt updated his bridge in a while.
On a retexturing help, Im trying to find a good high res of an oberth MSD, to help you out with the retexture.
-
There's not going to be a canon MSD, as TNG never saw fit to show one at a flat angle.
The one I am doing is based off of a fan-made MSD used for deck comparison.
What I could use is smaller panels of the ship for the smaller consoles.
-
You mean images of an Oberth at like different angles but as they would look if they were on a screen?!?. I'll see if I can find some for you.
-
Well, I've decided that the bridge I would like to re-texture is going to be the Nebula bridge.
Look through the textures for the Nebula set for anything that has a picture of a Nebula. Then, give me the filenames. And if you want to help further, finding hi-res MSD's that could potentially replace those Nebula textures would be great.
-
Hey barihawk...i'm gettin pretty good with retexturing. i've been doing some side projects on the side..which are hopefully going to be released soon along side the BP Core Gold.
if you want, i'd be happy to team up with you on this one and retexture the nebula class or ambassador class bridges we currently have. i'd add in BP Core features too. if you can figure out how to make it a separate bridge then we're in business.
-
I appreciate that big-time. I don't really know what BPCore features could be added to a simple little Obby, but I will leave that up to you. I am currently working on the big MSD for the back of the Nebula bridge. If you could work on the other instances of the Nebula MSD on the various stations, that would rock. I would also like the bridge to be darker than the almost matte white the 3rd Era Farragut seems to be. And dark red seats would rock. :P
Let me know what else I can do to help out. I don't have photoshop, but I do have Paint.Net.
Now my question to Mark or Sean is: How exactly do you make a separate bridge? What .py files do you need, what kickbacks to the bridge set, what?
-
if you want your MSD to match my lcars, you'll probably be wanting to either finish it before i start the lcars, so i can see what yours looks like, or just let me do that too. its up to you.
also..we unfortunately wont be able to actually make the bridge any darker. we can make the textures darker, but the ambient lighting is coded into the bridge and can't be changed.
-
That's what I meant. The lighting is brilliant, but the walls are washed out at green alert. Something like a darker tan for he walls, red seats, your pick on the carpet.
I'll try to finish the MSD as soon as possible. Here's an up-to-date image:
(http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/4972/oberth120decksdk9.png)
-
its nice...if you want tan walls you might consider a color other than yellow..but they look good so far
-
Well, that's Starfleet Goldenrod. The Bridge Commander in the BCC logo at the top of the page and just about every major panel uses this color :P. Not my fault Starfleet has bad taste.
I've started separating compartments in the MSD and added the main service turbolifts that run from the saucer to the secondary hull. I'll soon be adding a smaller personnel turbolift to the Saucer and Secondary hull.
-
Yes, I know the shuttle bay is not canon, but whatever :P. I am of course going with the Pegasus specs here, and the Pegasus was about twice as big as your normal Oberth. There is no canon size of Oberth, and I prefer the "large side" of the speculation.
Bump with a new MSD:

(http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/1849/oberthmsdrt3.jpg)
-
just so you know, the red areas were supposed to represent damaged areas
-
Thanks, that does help :).
-
(http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/7629/oberth120decksjh3.png)
Any suggestions for subsystems tags (ie warp core, etc)?
-
this is gorgeous..i can build around this for sure
-
Needs some work on details, then the LCARS around it.
I need a list of about 10 random subsystems to add to the MSD.
1. Main Bridge
Any others?
-
Further changes planned. Yes, I forgot to change the Registry number from the Farragut.

nice...i gotta tell you tho man..your avatar is freakin the hell out of me..lol

This image could be used for the tactical display at the front of the Bridge.

-
gorgeous..might want to change one of the bottom left lcars tho to make them different....other than that awesome..
-
OK the reason why i stood back is because there are very few bridge retexturers out there any more, if i had jumped in and said "yeh i like the idea" straight away it might have stopped anyone else from taking it up.
Now as for your MSD, well its not bad but i have some critiques if you dont mind:
- The colours are not correct, you need to identify an era you are aiming for (a film or episode) and then try and make a colour pallette for it
- An MSD should not show the ship name or painted logos
- I have a feeling there is a good Oberth MSD out there already, ill take a look
And as for the bridge retexture:
- I would recommend using the nebula bridge as a base, since it has been used on the miranda aswell and the miranda is of a similar lineage to the oberth
- Consider the colour themes on the bridge, select 3 colours and then use them for the floors and walls
- Things like "how do I seperate a bridge" are questions you are best to find your own answer to, its a hard process to describe, but not hard to figure out on your own really.
- I really like the idea of an oberth class bridge, Id like to see it done well so I would be happy to offer bsilver support on it
-
I found this, it might be useful: -
http://www.lcars.org.uk/lcars_abz.htm (http://www.lcars.org.uk/lcars_abz.htm)
*It seemed to work earlier, nevermind*
-
What pic, locky?
I've found a few LCARS systems that might be useful, at www.lcarsdeveloper.com.
I've also found an LCARS font that will make it a little more useful.
And Mark, what colors would be more appropriate? It's taken from the Farragut, which is about the same time period as the Pegasus.
And I'll be waiting for the MSD you can find. I hope it's better than this quick job. I'll try to change some colors around.
As for the "how do I separate a bridge?" question, I am going to try and reverse engineer the process using a really crappy Sutherland retexture :P.
EDIT: Forgot to say that the painted logos have already been removed. That was me getting overboard with tracing.
EDIT2: Found some color palette info from the site I listed above. I'll try to rework it.
-
Hmm.. you know, msds are supposed to be cutaways... like in the screencap you?ve posted.
The top part of the ship in yours is filled while it should be like an outline of the areas.
One thing that might help you is that i know jackwill done a oberth cutaway, which you can download at gilso?s page.
-
Working on that now. I've extracted the warp nacelle and moved it out of the way. Now I will use a few cutaway's to extrapolate the saucer plans. Any link for "Gilso's" page?
-
Here is the Cutaway LC mentioned. I've also included the Ent-B MSD for colour reference, I believe this colour-scheme fit's the era when the Pegasus was built!?. 8)
-
the 1701-b msd is TMP themed, i would like to see a TMP Oberth but its not what Barihawk wants
-
And Mark, what colors would be more appropriate? It's taken from the Farragut, which is about the same time period as the Pegasus.
So you are trying to make it fit the same colours as the current MSD? well then thats easy, just use the current msds colours :P
-
Most Oberth would follow a TMP color scheme, but the Pegasus was only 12 years old at the time of her discovery in TNG: Pegasus. All of her LCARS in that episode matched the LCARS on the Enterprise D.
Meh, found a colour pallet anyways :P
Here it is with the proper cutout sequence and more appropriate LCARS colors for mid-TNG:
(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4674/oberth120deckswu0.png)
I even moved the shuttlebay to it's proper place. I still need to get the appropriate bulkheads in place in the saucer and secondary hull (the latter is mostly done) and add the sensor arrays. That JackHill image is amazing, and has set me straight.
-
nice, but id get rid of all that crap around the edges till you have finished the main thing, it just looks cluttered
-
Sounds good to me.
I'm now about to test to see if I can get this thing as a separate install. I think I have it worked out.
-
(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8862/screenshot008ax6.png)
Qa'Plaa!
Ok, I will start working on cleaning up the edges until I have the MSD and labels done. At least now, I know how to make this thing work ingame.
-
(http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/9158/oberth120decksgq6.png)
-
Looks waaaay better at the bridge section, but i would remove the nacelles stuff to add the nacelle cutaway too.
As for the border stuff, i like this last one posted.
-
Where could I find a cutaway view of the nacelles? The Jackill image does not cutaway that section. I mean, all that would be in there is a catwalk and the plasma injectors, so I'll take a crack.
Coming in about 5 minutes! The new dedication plaque. Complete with Okudagram!
EDIT: Cutaway of warp nacelle complete. Working on saucer interior detail now.

Since it is kind of small, the inscription reads "Now sit right back and enjoy a tale, a tale of a fateful trip..." Yes, I stole it from the U.S.S. Lantree, but meh :P.
-
Here we go. Any comments?
(http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/922b00a348.png) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)
-
looks good, but thats not a "new" plaque, thats my plaque that you have stuck a new name on :P
-
Makes sense, since it's also your bridge models, the majority of your textures and all.
If you ever do let me release this, I'll have BCFiles put your name in BIG LETTERS :P.
Screwing around with bridge textures now. I'm probably going to let Bsilver play around with that more, but I like the carpet I have so far :P.
-
My previous link is working now
-
Ok, early shot of the bridge.
Don't worry, I will be making the blue part of the carpet grey or light tan.
(http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ffeb961e34.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)
Question to Mark or if anyone else knows: What texture in the Nebula set controls the consoles? I am planning on making them wood grain :P.
Chime in with suggestions, please!
-
I'm liking the wood so far. That is one classy Captain's chair. Now, to get the wood panelling on the Ops/Tactical and back wall.
(http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6d00c42d4e.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)
The panelling on the helm/nav consoles turned out good, though.
(http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6c2ecb16af.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)
-
Mind if i steal some thunder, im having a go at a more late tmp look, its early stages, still alot to flesh out
(http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/4120/oberthyh0.th.jpg) (http://img250.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oberthyh0.jpg)
-
Fine by me, more variety!
We might just end up releasing two bridges instead of one!
Working in a few more retextures. Unfortunately I can not woodpanel the Mission Ops and Tactical consoles as their textures are only 6 pixels long. It looks horrible with wood textures.
-
Ok, I'm stumped on the texturing. I think I'll hand it off to Bsilver now. :P
B: I'd like it to have that casual look. This is like the corvette of space travel. Considering Admiral Pressman's ego, this baby would be dressed up. Maybe replace the red on the railing with wood, try to get more wood panelling all over. Maybe a more cozy wall texture. Thankees! :)
(http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/582dcb67c6.jpg) (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)
http://files.filefront.com//;7422693;/
Not a fully ready release. This is just for texturing. If I catch this file anywhere heads will roll.
-
i'd be happy to take it from here. do me a favor man, zip up the complete folder for the textures into a compressed RAR or ZIP file and email them to me. bsilver@brandeis.edu i'm actually in the middle of finals now, but i might have some time. next friday i'll be done for the semester and i'll be ready to start this baby.
-
The ZIP is in my previous post, under the photo.
-
Email sent. All I ask is that the chairs stay that dark color. You can replace the wood texture with one of your own. The PADD panels next to the doors can be fixed by reducing the wooden portion to the area around the panel, and the rest matching the walls.
-
But they really are the only bridge modding group left. Alot of people that were bridge modders have moved onto other games. Except for Mantis, but he hasnt updated his bridge in a while.
On a retexturing help, Im trying to find a good high res of an oberth MSD, to help you out with the retexture.
Well thats because I am with 3rdera and frontier productions so I am focusing my efforts on the other bridges at the moment :P
-
Your retexture works really looks nice. I don't know if you have the old "Starship Creator: Warp II" game. But, it does have the materials your looking for. An Oberth Cutaway, and interior objects like rooms, transporters, shuttlebays, delectors dish, warp coils, computer cores and such.
Here is something you won't see everyday. To give you an example of using Starship Creator: Warp II elements. This is a Norway Class cutaway by c2x. -BR32
-
well...i'm on the job Bari...as i told you i'm in finals right now..until next friday..then i'll really get moving on this.
-
update on the tmp msd, started from scratch still needs more detail, once this is done i'll split into my own thread.
(http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9607/oberthhx6.th.jpg) (http://img522.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oberthhx6.jpg)
-
Not bad at all, I like this MSD. :D
-
Hmm , not bad MSD
-
Here's a personal texture. I'm letting Bsilver do this, but I would like it to kind of be along these lines.
(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/958/screenshot013tj2.png)
And if all possible Bsilver, can you make the ceiling wooden too? Keyword for this thing is cozy.
Oh, and I have indeed fixed the carpet. I increased the resolution by 6 times, so it should match the red trim. Just didn't want to bother firing up BC again (It takes about 10 minutes to get from QB Menu to Sovereign to Oberth. I need a new processor.)
-
dude...send me this..this would be good for me to work off of. dont repost it on here...just email me it. what i see looks good. if i can work off of this it wont take me long at all. maybe a week to finalize everything.
-
I am sure it was said before, but remove those fed symbols. They wouldn't be shown on the MSD, just the decks, pods, weapons, things like that. Here is the mantis one
-
The Fed symbols have been gone for like a week now :P
Only inner workings of the ship are shown, no insignia.
-
sorry, must have looked at the wrong page lol
-
My compliments on that bridge retexture man I loved the Grissom for the 3 mins it was living lol the Oberth class had such character about it I think and having the bridge would be very very welcome :D
-
BSilver, is there any word on the progress of your texturing?
-
dude...you never sent me what you had...lol..i was waiting for the email including the textures from that last pic. i've also kinda been sick so i didnt want to push it.
email me what you've got..just try to compress it down to 40mb or less.
-
ok here's what i've got after a couple hours of work. i should add that the lcars are still from the nebula class because i havent gotten barihawk's lcars yet. bro if you see this..can you email me a larger version of the MSD?
what do you guys think?
-
very nice!
-
very nice!
Is a slight understatement lol.
-
Ugh, I lost the link somewhere. You will have to give me a good week or two before I can grab it again. I could have sworn I sent that email.
The bridge is very nice, but the seat leather won't clash so much if it were a darker color. I used the dark brown leather from the Sovereign bridge in my screenshots.
-
EDIT: Is the latest actual picture of the MSD good enough, or do you need the 1280x1024 one?
If so, ill have to go run and get it, it might take me a week since my computer is in a different county.
-
Time for my update, this is 99% done, i dont plan to do much more than fine tweaking to this now. cooments and crit welcome, last update in this thread as i feel uncomfortable hi-jacking
(http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/3858/oberthcq6.th.jpg) (http://img398.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oberthcq6.jpg)
-
i didn't think the leather clashed really. everyone else seemed to like it...i'm going to try and make it the color of the wall...how's that sound?
i'll tell you something..god bless the new niftools...makes the retexturing job soo soo much easier.
and i can use the MSD as it was on the site here..but it's gonna be mad blurry
-
Give me a few days. I will have to grab the MSD from my computer and find a way to get it to you.
-
k so slight update..the chair leather is now matched to the walls. also i fixed a lil texture mess i realized i had made on one of the consoles. I'd post pics..but frankly..i'm a lil lazy..lol
plans for the future...
-get the MSD
-change the lcars a lil bit to get rid of those inconspicuous pictures of the nebula class
-throw in some more texture swapping between status changes
-MVAM Maps!!! (maybe not canon..but i figure why not..blue alert can mean a lot more than MVAM...)
-i'll take a vote on that one if ppl want.
-
-MVAM Maps!!! (maybe not canon..but i figure why not..blue alert can mean a lot more than MVAM...)
-i'll take a vote on that one if ppl want.
absolutely!! why not? :)
-
great...anyone else??? what's your take on this barihawk?
-
Sure, Blue Alert could be for when it ejects its bridge module when it sees a Klingon Bird of Prey trying to target its engines. :D
-
Blue alert would also be great if it could be tied in to be activated by the Phase Cloak or during "Supernova" waves or planetary atmospheres.
Blue alert is essential on this baby.
-
ok..in goes blue alert...the textures are done...i'll script it in and post some screen shots this weekend...i'm workin 9-5 now at a research institute..so time is a lil more limited.
-
ok roadblock..i need a consult with one of the 3rd era guys...i added in scripts on the nebula bridge bp file to swap 2 more sets of textures. they're not animated and they're not linked to red alert lights. they arent responding. the bridge loads just fine so there's no problem with how i wrote it. what did i do wrong? lol

if you are going to include forced map animations I would advise you remind people they can disable them in the BPC control panel.
-
note taken...but do you see anything wrong with the coding the way i wrote it?
-
k i apologize for bumping this..but i really wanna figure this out and i'm stuck.
-
when you say its not working, how do you mean?
-
MISC3 and LIGHTS wont swap textures during status changes.
-
i have also, in my tinkering around with things in my install, havent had much luck swapping textures in alert status changes either when i have tried... (but thats for another thread lol)
-
you mean with the nebula bridge or in general?? i could probably help you if it's in general..but this bridge just baffles me
-
nah, it was just something i tried out on the defiant bridge.. was bored at the time, no big deal lol

I cant see a problem from here, you will need to re-email me the pack (since it didnt get thru last time).
-
mark..tried to email it to you...even with max RAR compression it's still to large for gmail to accept.
barihawk?? you still with us?? or is this thing going to die?
-
Don't worry, I am still here. I will be largely busy tonight and tomorrow though. I will have an updated version of the MSD and Dedication Plaque for you on Wedensday, hopefully.
And please post some more screenshots. Whett my appetite, please! :P
-
not much has changed since those screen shots...i'm still at a halt with those textures swaps...but i have a feeling those textures are linked to lightmaps..meaning there's nothing i can do wth them...i'll get a couple of new screenshots after i work on it a lil more..send me your MSD and plaque when you get a chance and i'll add em in
-
Ugh, I accidentally left my Flash at the library and it appears to have been stolen. This might take a little longer than expected.
-
you didn't keep HD copies?
-
Hey mark..quick question. With the current beta of bp-core gold that's out, are cloaking maps usable? if so, what should they be called in the autoload file to make them work?
considering that we're doing the pegasus, i think cloaking maps might come in handy.
-
I have several HD copies (I need to back up the bridge anyways, since I am doing a wipe soon).
I also got a nice shiney new flash drive so I will deliver today or thursday.

Here's the whole bridge minus scripts. I can't open paint.net for some reason, so I couldn't extract only the two files.
Make sure to get both the MSD and the Dedication Plaque.
-
beautiful...i'll be sure to add them in. still at a dead stop with the texture swapping. i can still get mark's original programmed textures to swap though..so we will have blue alert lights. as far as cloaking maps..i'm not sure if it's doable until KM1.0 comes out. that will have an updated bp core i believe. how's everyone feel about waiting for KM1.0 to release this? I'd probably like to release a couple other beauties i'm working on once it comes out too...cause then everyone will have MVAM (and hopefully cloaking) maps capabilities. We'll see..it's all gonna depend.
-
ok guys...i've nearly completed retexturing...here's what i've got
-
Nice Job on that Bridge, Dude. Look great.!! But, why wait until KM 1.0? I say release it ;) -BR32
-
waitin on barihawk for that...you there man?
-
Go ahead and release. Just make sure I get plenty of credit so I can "properly" criticize other mods without the "Oh yeah, where's your mod?"
Excellent work, sir. Let's hope on getting featured Bridge status!
-
Oh, and make sure to include the scripts so it can stand alone.
-
great job on this indeed!! will there be more bridge retextures coming along (i hope)? :)
-
I am thinking about making a Lakota style bridge, but it will be a month or two. My eval of Paint.Net went out and I am just waiting to update it.
-
hmmm... im afraid thats has already been done (and will be in KM1)... well, actually, its a Late-TNG/DS9 version of the Excelsior Bridge, but its pretty much a Lakota Bridge...

Then I might take a crack at some better Akira/Steamrunner bridges. The ones out there are...meh.
-
right on - it is always good to have new bridge retextures, and to be able to increase the selection in the Bridges Menu :) Bridge retexturing is an area of BC modding that isnt touched anymore at all these days, and it is always good to see more and newer ones indeed :)
if i had any skill at making new MSD's and such, id have many different bridge retextures in my install, one for each of my Fed Ships...
-
Once KM 1.0 comes out i'll be releasing a lot of things i've been working on. The only reason i'm waiting is because they're dependent on several things which havent been released yet except for betas (intrepid bridge v3, bp core gold v2...things like that).
I've got a retexture of the Late TNG Galaxy bridge which looks similar to the Pegasus which we're making right now. I've also got a retexture of the new coming intrepid bridge. All of them have major texture swapping and MVAM mapping. Barihawk you're welcome to join up if you wanna help me wit the scripting.
One thing i can promise you guys...the retextures are going to keep on coming.
Barihawk, I'll be sending you the textures for pegasus sometime in the next couple days. One thing i'm not so great at is the scripting of adding a new bridge. The textures are pretty much done as you can see..but i'm gonna need you to make it a standalone bridge. That cool wit you man?
-
Here you go, BsilveR:
Download this file:
http://files.filefront.com//;7422693;/
Now, extract all the inside to a folder of your choosing (Let's call it TNGPegasusBridge). Then, overwrite the Pegasus bridge set inside this folder with the bridge set you have retextured. Now, zip it up, and viola! You have a complete bridge, complete with scripts.
Note: The bridge in the link above is a craptastic early version.
-
i'm afraid it may not be that simple..but i have figured it out...i'll release it soon
-
Email me a version, if possible.
Also, here is a nifty screenie to add to your own.

Nice job. Cant wai to play on this bridge.
If your still interested in retexturing the Excelsior bridge, you could always make it look like the Excelsior bridge from ST3: Search For Spock. I knows theres only very few angles of it but theres nothing wrong with a little improvisation :)
Just a thought.

Gentlemen, I take it that this mod is ready for posting at BCFiles?
-
not quite..i'll let you know man...we're close..but i cant it to work as an independent bridge on my BC install. i'm gonna email it all to barihawk and see what he can do wit it
-
I'll try to work with it.
-
Do me a favor and post it on filefront? My email has been acting up lately. Give me the link to the file here and I will take a look at the scripting.
-
dont worry about it man. Jimmyb76 is takin care of it. He's pretty good at setting this kinda thing up. Then he's gonna send it back to me for final approval.
-
Can you at least throw me the textures? I am dying with anticipation :P.
I wanna see how it looks ingame.
-
released!!! check it out in the downloads section guys.
-
yay!! awesome job guys!!! im glad i was able to help out with the scripting aspect of it :)
