Title: Arcadia Update and Vivace retexture - Poll added for name of Vivace
Post by: Dalek on September 19, 2008, 02:13:49 PM
Yes! Planning an update! New armour! New weapons! New...stuff!

Yah, I'm planning an update of the Arcadia where it appears to have undergone a refit after taking damage at the hands of the (SPOILER from my series alert) Breen. Starfleet realised that if there ships were going to safely explore the galaxy, then their ships needed better...stuff. I'll post pics shortly and I think I will require kirk2164's help. Glows and all.

Help will be given, as always.

OH, thank you. You#ll like this Arcadia. It will be separate from the original Arcadia so you can tell the difference.

Sweet, another Arcadia ship, I can't wait to see it and use it :P

I'm only thinking about re-texturing for the moment. HP'ing later on.

I'm not finished the saucer texturing, but she is looking good!

I plan on doing a retexture of a ship. I use Photoshop 5.5 due to plugins I can't find anywhere else, I was also wondering if someone had a pack of federation windows they can release, the blue ones etc they use on ships.

I just want her to look decent, that's all. I'll address a tiny problem as well with a pic.

I know I'm taking forever to produce pics. I want to include pics with the custom Vivace as well.

Edit: I've lovingly named the custom Vivace "Duracell" for now. It's not permanent.

Looking good dude.

I like the cleaner lines to the re-textures.

I like.
The Vivace looks colossal, though...

Post by: Dalek on September 21, 2008, 05:38:20 AM
I never knew the Vivace was that big compared to the Century. But I'm gonna make her one helluva Queen Killing Bitch.

Edit: Scrapping v1 of that Vivace. Starting again with v2 :D.

Post by: DJ Curtis on September 21, 2008, 12:37:39 PM
The reason the Vivace looks so big is that it's mis-scaled.  I originally scaled it

Just in case your confused (to everyone), the Vivace is a private mod. Unless DJ doesn't mind about my Vivace going into the world if it's finished?

Post by: DJ Curtis on September 21, 2008, 12:55:25 PM
it's fine.  you may release the vivace mod.  please just make sure all proper credit is given and that the original readme is a part of the download.

I would start screaming if I forgot credit. I really hate forgetting things and not giving credit where credit is given.

Focusing on the Vivace, here are some pics of a part converted USS Duracell (will think of a better name soon!).

Agreed. That looks really great.

I'd like to see a darker grey hull plating scheme, with black hull areas denoting detail.
Title: Re: Arcadia Update and Vivace retexture
Post by: Centurus on September 21, 2008, 03:51:31 PM
With some red lines in appropriate places.  :-D

Post by: Dalek on September 23, 2008, 12:57:24 PM
Well, Cent, to satisfy th needs of us BCC vultures, I present you a completely textured Arcadia mkII! Scripting is nearly done. It has one extra weapon which you will all like but isn't finished yet. I can't get the sound working but I've only just begun working on this weapon so I migh figure it out soon.

Wow, all done in one breath...

Edit: I forgot the pics!

Man, I thought the S31 Valiant was going to do that job!

Anyways, question. The circled red bit. I want to change that to something else. I hope it doesn't happen to be linked to other parts of the ship.

What is it that you want to change?

The blue windows in the red circle.

The blue windows in the red circle.
Should be no problem, so long as you tell me what you want done with the glows.
Title: Re: Arcadia Update and Vivace retexture
Post by: Dalek on September 24, 2008, 04:22:28 PM
No, it's not glows. I just want the windows *poof*. To be replaced by a small phaser strip.
Title: Re: Arcadia Update and Vivace retexture
Post by: Kirk on September 24, 2008, 04:25:15 PM
Easily do-able (hopefully.)
You need to change around some of the mapping for this to work.

Crap. I'll put the Cannon somewhere else then. That little spot on the edge of the saucer at the front looks nice.

Well, if you have the right tools, editing the mapping shouldn't be much of a problem.

Fuoco.... my idea :D But if it did get called that then i'd spell it differently so it looks better. The name sounds good but looks bad lol.

OK so i kinda love the model and textures... but i dont like that blue weapon mate    :(

apart from that.. awsome work.  :D
Title: Re: Arcadia Update and Vivace retexture - Poll added for name of Vivace
Post by: Dalek on September 27, 2008, 07:40:00 AM
I'm making the Blue Weapon an optional script where you can put it in place whenever you want it. If you install striaght away there won't be any blue weapon. Sounds fair to me.

Edit: The Vivace retexture was meant to have the Blue Weapon so no optional script there.

Well, the name has been decided! Fuoco eh? Hmm. Shall prove interesting. I was going to say something else. But I've forgotten now.

That was it! Nebula has allowed me to use the Icarus's Tricobalt torps on the Arcadia.

I feel like putting the Vivace on hold for now. Damn, I'm tired. The Arcadia is effectively finished. Just need to tweak the radius of the Quantum Phaser then it's done.
