Title: Slipstream Textures, Slipstream Flashes or anything slipstream related WIPs
Post by: ChronowerX_GT on February 23, 2008, 07:03:53 PM
Ok here we post screenshots of the slipstream as there is a new one in development (V3). Here we can discuss improvements on the old one and the new one to perfect the screenshots.

Also it would be nice if other people could upload their custom slipstream effects and then we could perhaps release them in a pack.

Ok, to start this off i was thinking of a romulan slipstream. All green and stuff. Here's kind of what I had in mind but it needs improvement.

Yea, thats pretty bad, Slient change to it and it would probably work for the borg as well

Yeah I think it just needs to be toned down a bit, made darker and the light in the centre smaller. Perhaps I could make it a bit more like the Time Squared one but greenish.

By the way this is another one i'm working on. (It's POTD at the moment). It's the DR. WHO time vortex. The slipstream is taken directly from the ending credits.

I played around with that texture again, and here's the result. :D

Oh yeah, I couldn't use the enterprise because of a scripting error.  Probably something overwritten, anyway...I had to use the venture.  It's not cannon, but it still looks nice.

i'm gonna move this thread over to BC Modding...
since it seems like things people are working on, and as well comparing notes on, for a potential release to everyone...
(am i correct in this assumption?  if not, lemme know, and it can stay here where it is...)

Yeah go ahead.

Anyway here's my old vortex shot and Cordanilus' new one to compare side by side. The top's mine. Using slipstream V2 and the bottom is Cordanilus' using V3

Post by: ChronowerX_GT on February 24, 2008, 04:54:46 PM
Well i've been having some problems with the V3. Do you have any ideas Cord? The first one shows how it starts when you enter and the second one is the only effect I can get. Also I can't exit the slipstream.
Title: Re: Slipstream Textures WIPs
Post by: ChronowerX_GT on February 24, 2008, 05:21:35 PM
BTW i'm pretty sure that the time squared vortex was used in Decent Pt1 as the transwarp drive. Perhaps we could create a flash effect like this?

lukerobin, post a console report if you please. :D

I've got nothing wrong in my install and I haven't done anything to slipstream in about a month.  JB06 has it installed as well, but I've not heard anything wrong on his install either.  The console report should help, and get it when you are in slipstream. :D

I finally have modded a ship to use slipstream! :D  I'll take a stab at this- how about the wormhole from ST:TMP?  To my knowledge this hasn't been done yet.
Title: Re: Slipstream Textures WIPs

OOO nice I was gonna have a go at that myself lol. I'll post a console report as soon as I get a chance.

WoW that wormhole is really nice tho you may consider making those lines a little thinner and crossing one another, then it will be perfect :D

I ended up using screencaps, but the result looks good.

Lol that's what i've been using to create the doctor who one aswell. Mine still needs more tweaking. On another note I can't get the console to work when i'm in game. I have activated test mode.

Thanks for the cookie! :D  I am starting to like using the slipstream, because the blinkers stay on.  I am thinking about making a few more.

Hey Willey what ever happened to your YOH Voyager? Is it still a WIP or was it released? Sorry I know it's off topic. I'd actually like to see that in a slipstream.

look on the DQP you'll find it there. It will be included in that, but i do not know if wiley is still releasing it separately.

BTW I was thinking that I might be useful if we all post the actual texture along with the pictures. That way people can get a better idea of what the textures should look like. I think this would be extremly helpful for V3 (If it's ok with you Cord :D) since there's 3 layers going on and it's much more difficult to get them just right.

I should start equipping more ships with slipstream :P

Well i've been trying to achieve the same effect as Cords Time Square but I can't seem to get it right. Here it is in game and in photoshop. Any Ideas? I'm using slipstream V3 with all 3 layer with this texture and no background texture. Btw i know the black light should be white. I'll change that later.
Title: Re: Slipstream Textures, Slipstream Flashes or anything slipstream related WIPs
Post by: cordanilus on February 29, 2008, 08:33:42 PM
Here's the texture I made :D

I can see you've been angling them only in small increments, I've done them by 90 degrees and even flipping them horizontally and vertically.  I've also only let the light colors through since the background is kinda dark anyway.

Take a look:

Post by: cordanilus on March 01, 2008, 09:21:30 AM
Ok, if you can get me a console report. :D  It must be doing something if it's reverting back to the default textures.

I don't know if you've used the Slipstream Plugin Generator for that ship though, if it was used...it could be set to the default textures and changing them in the menu won't change the slipstream textures for that particular ship.

Looks like you have to tone down the alpha channel for that texture.  I usually just copy the picture into the alpha channel (it'll convert to greyscale) and adjust the contrast.  So some parts will show and some parts won't.

Yes, before anyone says anything, I know that this hasn't been posted in for a year. But I was gunna delete this thread to free up some space for BCC but I was pretty impressed with what was in here.

So anyway, i'd like to release these as a pack or summin. With all our names on it. And perhaps add a few more into it. My photoshop skills are a hell of a lot better than a year ago so I should be able to come up with some things. So who's permission do I have to release it as a pack?

On another note, is Slipstream V3 still in development or been abandoned (yes I know authors will post any updates) but I went away for a few months so it may have slipped passed me?

thats not necessary...  we'll handle that; we've already cleared out a bit, but we're trying to keep the BC-side of the forums as much intact as possible :)
you dont have to delete any threads...  tho i can see a number of double-posts that could be merged lol :P

On another note, is Slipstream V3 still in development
it is...  things have slowed down, but it hasnt been abandoned...
BCS has a Slipstream Forum, tho real life gets in the way of keeping large projects going (as every modder knows)...
