Title: U.S.S. Arcadia - NCC-2713-D (Century Class) Able to download!
Post by: Dalek on August 07, 2008, 08:15:06 AM: So I got DJ's blank Century textures, and started playing around with them. I noticed when you put the textures in game, they're really bright. Say what I want is:

A. Help ~~and Advice~~
~~B. Any solution to sort out the brightness~~

All of this would be much appreciated.

The pic shows an attempt on one part of the ship. I changed the warp coil colour and and the bussard collectors but I'm not keeping that design.

Post by: Villain on August 07, 2008, 08:21:33 AM: I believe it's the Alpha channel (After seeing many threads like this.) You need to make the alpha dimmer, or something. I'm probably wrong, so if I am, somebody please correct me.

Hell, I'll believe anyone at the minute. I've decided to call it the USS Arcadia-NCC 82681.

USS Squire hmm?

Can we expect a slight tribute to Starblazers? Though I'm assuming that's a bit beyond your time. :lol:

Image question: What would happen if I just turned the brightness down?

It's be darker.

Looks like a good start. :P

Post by: Villain on August 07, 2008, 08:46:07 AM: It's an ooold ooold anime, and one of the ships was the Battleship Arcadia

(http://www.shipschematics.net/yamato/images/edf/battleship_arcadia2.jpg)

As for the brightness thing, I am pretty sure if it has a texture it needs an alpha channel. What are you using to make these textures?
Title: Re: First time texture, help and advice please (Retexture of USS Century)!
Post by: Dalek on August 07, 2008, 08:57:36 AM: Something that isn't professional, Adobe and something which doesn't know what Alpha Channels are. :oops::D Do you know of any alpha channel programs or anything like that?

I only named it Arcadia cos during the Time War, there was a planet called Arcadia that was lost to the Daleks. I thought it sounds nice and I'll use it!

I have GIMP, though as I'm completely texturing stupid (No idea how anybody can make such fantastic textures) I can't really use it. If you google it, it won't be hard to find. It's free, too. There's also inkscape, another free one. I'd say go with GIMP though, I'm told it's pretty powerful (And the poor mans Photoshop.)
Title: Re: First time texture, help and advice please (Retexture of USS Century)!
Post by: Dalek on August 07, 2008, 09:07:35 AM: Downloading GIMP now. What I'll do, is I'll finish texturing and use GIMP to change the alpha channel stuff. I'm baking cookies for helpful people... :twisted:

Post by: Dalek on August 07, 2008, 12:15:04 PM: She won't be any different, just a new name and some new colours. I might do a bit more re-colouring in areas.

How would I make her separate from the Century?
Title: Re: USS Century Re-texture-Needs to be separate and needs glows.
Post by: Villain on August 07, 2008, 12:44:50 PM: That's just a matter of copying the hardpoint and ship script then pointing all the USS CENTURY bits to whatever you name your hardpoint and ship script.
Title: Re: USS Century Re-texture-Needs to be separate and needs glows.
Post by: ChronowerX_GT on August 07, 2008, 02:11:22 PM: Looking very nice. If you want I can help you make it a seperate ship and I should be able to help you with the glows.
Title: Re: USS Century Re-texture-Needs to be separate and needs glows.
Post by: Dalek on August 07, 2008, 02:32:25 PM: Well kirk2164 pm'ed me about the glows, but I haven't had another response so far. I'll just let loose the textures on this (as a .rar) post, see if someone can make it separate, glowing, or even better both! It's going to be compressed right down (two .tga's a .rar). I know its inconvenient and not practical but, my usable e-mail crapped up. :(

Right, you should be able to do this. :(

please...
Title: Re: USS Century Re-texture-Needs to be separate and needs glows.
Post by: Dalek on August 07, 2008, 02:37:10 PM: I think I'm going to have to do this in 4 post. Hell, its better than 8.

Post by: Jb06 on August 07, 2008, 02:51:17 PM: No offence but why didnt you just use the glows that came with the original blank textures, if all you're doing is a reg change?

Title: Re: USS Century Re-texture-Needs to be separate and needs glows.
Post by: Dalek on August 07, 2008, 02:53:46 PM: Ah! The final bit.

Oh JB, no offense taken but, it became a bit more than a registry change. I added a few black strips and changed the colour of a couple of things. Either way, no glow!
Title: Re: USS Century Re-texture-Needs to be separate and needs glows.
Post by: Flux Capacitor on August 07, 2008, 03:11:06 PM: You're also using the wrong typeface for the registry. Either Microgramma or Starfleet Bold Extended would be much closer than what you're using.

Yeah this is what i was talking about. There was no need in creating new glows as even if you did do alterations to the actual RGB, the alpha channel would not have been affected.

Post by: Dalek on August 08, 2008, 06:03:20 AM: Things have gone a bit out of hand. I noticed with all of the textures that something was wrong. I've updated them but I didn't get a chance to say. kirk2164 has told me to do something else which I will do since its sort of gone pear-shaped around here.
Title: Re: Update: 9/7/08 or 7/9/08 - USS Century re-texture
Post by: Dalek on August 09, 2008, 08:12:56 AM: Here's an update. kirk2164 is helping me with the hardpoints and he managed to do one set of glows for me. But I still need the other glows as the warp engines, impulse engines, lights and deflector dish look dead. Here are some pics. I'll post the other .tga's here.

Title: Re: "PROBLEM!"- USS Century re-texture
Post by: Dalek on August 10, 2008, 12:15:59 PM: I have encountered a large problem.

Somehow, my Arcadia textures with the NCC-82681 registry have overwritten all the Enterprise F and other Century textures. When I put the correct textures back in place, the h1 texture stays. In other words, the Century has yellow deflector dish (still called the Arcadia) and teh Ent F has blue deflector, only half activated warp engines (like they should be) yet called the Arcadia. I open the h1 textures of both ships and it shows their names e.g. USS Century instead of USS Arcadia. I replace these textures again and again, I even remove them from the main texture folder (into a backup) yet the Arcadia 82681 textures are still there. Argh!

Hmm. Still doesn't explain why USS Arcadia is stuck on the EntF/Cent/Clandestine. If i open the .tga of the Arcadia (the ones with 1713-C) and Clandestine, they show the correct colours and stuff.

Post by: Dalek on August 26, 2008, 11:50:07 AM: Now, this is the Clandestine with my current problem. Its strange how the warp engines don't have textures at all yet they should be black with blue and orange-y bits.

Edit: kirk2164 is my beta tester and graphically, everythings fine on his end. I just wish everything would work right on my computer. Basically, she's finished!

Post by: Kirk on August 26, 2008, 12:00:19 PM: The name of the texture must be the same as the one DJ originally named it.

Post by: Dalek on August 26, 2008, 12:09:04 PM: Yeh, haven't changed the name one bit. Wouldn't dare with what is going on.

I copied the textures back in for the Clandestine and heres the pic.

Post by: Dalek on August 26, 2008, 12:38:42 PM: The warp pylons are black and the areas around the coils and the bussard collectors are black too. Yet the rest of the ship is Arcadia NCC-82681. Argh!
Title: Re: U.S.S. Arcadia - NCC-2713-D (Century Class) Finished pretty much!

Post by: Dalek on August 27, 2008, 09:00:05 AM: For those who want to know the difference with this Century, she has:
Turquoise coloured deflector.
USS Century style warp engines with slight colour change (it's bluer).
Red Bussard Collectors.
Black rimmed armour plating (doesn't work, just looked nice) on top and bottom of saucer and near bridge.
Tiny recolour of the impulse engines

Post by: Kirk on August 27, 2008, 01:23:43 PM: Her new hp ripped me to shreds in the Enterprise F, so I think it will the Arcadia who does the hole punching.
Title: Re: U.S.S. Arcadia - NCC-2713-D (Century Class) YES! I'VE SORTED THE PROBLEM!
Post by: Dalek on August 28, 2008, 07:46:20 AM: Anyone who's interested, I've sorted my problem out! I searched for any texture called h1_glow and the first one I looked at was my problem texture! And its sorted! Everything's back to normal! I'll post pics later! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Post by: Dalek on August 28, 2008, 01:00:37 PM: Well, silver is sort of the main hull and I haven't actually seen Fed ships with "silver" instead of black. Unless you mean the hull itself. :D

Maybe I meant TNG onwards Prime, not TOS and TMP. :D

Post by: DJ Curtis on August 28, 2008, 08:55:52 PM: I think the alphas aren't working properly on hull1. I noticed none of the window lights are on.

Sorta what I meant as a whole I think but thanks for pointing it out.
Title: Re: U.S.S. Arcadia - NCC-2713-D (Century Class) Able to download!
Post by: Dalek on August 30, 2008, 06:11:14 AM: Good news, my peeps! The Arcadia is on BC Files.

Another thing, I'm planning a tiny little update. Not texture wise, but script-wise. Including:
Experimental Transphasic Torpedoes.
Slipstream Drive (but I'm sure most people can do that for themselves. But I'm doing it anyway).
This isn't a first stage refit! It's a varient!

This would be set roughly at 2401, where experiments with Transphasic Torpedoes and the armour was just beginning in practical usage. Although the armour is not happening in this update. One day, maybe...

Post by: FourChan on August 31, 2008, 05:54:56 PM: Hey Dalekanium, I sent you a message and was thinking if it was okay to do that? I'll send you a picture of what it looks like currently and get your opinion.
