[URL=http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=3854.0][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/6URJ0.png[/IMG][/URL]For the record, Sprog does have my permission to use all these sprites, yes.
Should be fine, tovarisch. Go to town.
Just saw this. I like that you are putting BSF ships in. You can use any of my ships as well.
...I like triangles.
Wow, glad you like em. I don't think my ships are as good as the others in this but that's your call.
So feel free to use whatever ships you want for whatever purpose you want.
This seems like a cool mod so I wish you all the best with it :)
Love the designs, especially the Anamar; looking forward to it being complete :)All sprites were done either by SilverWingedSeraph, or members of the battleships forever community, hence the name hehe, I just make it work here, kind of like a homage to BSF :)
Minor critique of the sprites:SpoilerFirst, sorry if any of this is even mildly offensive, I haven't shown any art here so I should probably refrain from offering critique, but I thought I'd note the things I saw :)
1. I'd like to see stronger highlighting and try to emulate the lightsource model used by SF's artist (see the Dram for a really clean example of where the lights are).
2. I think that the sprite edges need to be a bit cleaner; probably the easiest quick fix would be a one-pixel inset, lowering the opacity of the border pixels and elimination of the gray fuzzies I can see on some of the sprites.
3. I see various small things going on where you've tried to apply "paint stripes" to areas. You might want to review them and make sure that both sides are 100% symmetrical, etc. Also be aware that they're going to need some pixel editing to clean up panel lines, and it would be nice to see some hand-edit to give them a rougher edge, suggesting some wear.[close]

Indeed I did, he even edited the backgrounds off for me, I'll see if he fancies posting here so I can quote him :PAll sprites were done either by SilverWingedSeraph, or members of the battleships forever community, hence the name hehe, I just make it work here, kind of like a homage to BSF :)
I presume you asked for permission to use their sprites? Would be a good thing to add in order to avoid any complications.
great ships can't wait for the mod! :)Cheers
I may have to get back into spriting sometime. These look pretty fun.Wish I could kitbash and sprite properly :)
I use BFF sprites to bash all my normal SF ships anyways, hehe. I do heavy Photoshooping to them though, to make them more Starfarerey.
Do you have those ships saved, in a format you can change the layers again like *.psd files on photoshopSorry mate, but they are for this mod and this mod only :/
The reason is because some of them are perfect for an very old project to add the Masters of Orion 2 into Star Farer, heres a example of schematics i got here for each race, you will see some of those ships just plainly "fit in" with the artwork here:

Sorry mate, but they are for this mod and this mod only :/Cute, but no, if someone wants to use any ships I made, they can PM me about it and we'll sort it out. Just because I gave you permission to use them for your mod and cleaned them up for you, does not mean you can claim exclusive rights to them. They're still my ships, with the exception of the ones from the Pseudo Chainship Project, which are community-made ships that are free for anyone to use.
Ah, sorry, I didn't know what you meant when you gave them to me, like whether it was okay for others to use it, so i figured id say no just in case you were against others having it :/Sorry mate, but they are for this mod and this mod only :/Cute, but no, if someone wants to use any ships I made, they can PM me about it and we'll sort it out.

Hate to burst your bubble, bro.
That said, for right now, you're the only one who does have my permission to use my ships. So be happy!
I very like your ship design ;DThanks haha
Oh dayum, didn't think that someone would think of getting SWS' amazing GGG fleets onto Starfarer. Honestly, great work, though I wonder where the rest of them came from...They are all sprites from the battleships forever forum, hence the quirky name :), the other ships are unique looking so I'll keep them separate/ use them for both factions
so... any progress?Not quite, still sorting out my real life at the moment, and it hard to see if people are interested in the mod too :/
Im very interested I like the ships designsThanks(kinda)
I wait for this update ^^Im very interested I like the ships designsThanks(kinda)
I'm very, VERY sorry to say this, but the update shall not be coming, perhaps ever.
Due to the fact my operating system decided it doesnt like the hard drive, it wiped itself, forcing me to need to reformat the pc, losing EVERYTHING. Nothing has been saved, and i'm deeply saddened by this. If anyone wants to take this project on, feel free, I'm very sorry
Sprog
I'd love to! I just have to re download all my editors and stuff now :/I'm very, VERY sorry to say this, but the update shall not be coming, perhaps ever.

I'd be glad to help out, it appears I had a lot of my file saved on the Dropbox, but redoing some is gonna suck :/

Yep, I suppose it would just be figuring out what I've lost though hehe
Yep, I remember I've lost a tractor beam weapon, my heavy mining laser and some ship files, I'm hoping I backed up when I balanced them :/I'd be glad to help out, it appears I had a lot of my file saved on the Dropbox, but redoing some is gonna suck :/

Well I am not as often on the forums as I used to be because now I have school , friends and all that good ***. I have probably missed a lot of good mods but I am online sometimes so I am glad I noticed this mod. It would be a shame to not do anything with it thinking about that you have done a good bit of work already and have some good looking sprites too.

I would love to help but I have no idea about coding xD so if I ever was to code something I need to learn it first :P
A large energy-class capital ship, capable of long range punishment with its hard point-mounted tachyon lance and its ten auto-pulse laser cannons, Sure to make any opposing capital ship flee for its life. However its lack of many PD defenses and a shallow angled front-mounted shield make it vulnerable to attack from strike craft.With fixes applied.
so anything new to report? updates or other stuff?Sadly there isn't, but there will be! I got the placement I applied for, so I'll be busy making this from here on out, I could use a team if anyone is interested?
Great looking ships so far!
Great sprites!
I wish i still had that kind of creativity, but sadly it has run dry :-\

Many thanks, but I did not create these, Silver did, and this mod is currently on hold until I get a pc, Hopefully I shall have a monster of a pc by the start of January :)
how many colors have you tried? :PNot many haha
Try giving it some dark/darker colors, might look Pretty cool 8) 8)
and then i ask you sprog. Any updates or anything that can be worth informing us about?Kind of, my pc has gone into production and I've been fiddling with some sprites whilst in work, will have the pc hopefully anytime between the 3rd of January and the 8th :)
what about the Unique ships?
so they are gonna need an own backstory too?I'm thinking each unique ship can only spawn once at a time in the system, and can build up their own fleets over time, you get control over the Wreckerbee when you start campaign and can do the same
Looks like a decent change, still though, prefer mine :)does this one look good? And btw i will check if i can start with lore soonSpoiler(http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u399/sini002/remake_zps748c0a8f.png)[close]
well it was about time ;DHaha, expect some awesome new weapons too, and a few drones and ship systems, also a load of new ship sprites, will credit when I am on a pc next
so it's back to start again? :-\Almost, besides from what's left in my Dropbox folder, so not much
got anything i can/need to do?Hmmm, if your interested, I could do with some weapon and ship system ideas? Including hull mods :)
ok i had an idea for the anmar (more specificly my customised version of the one with the old colors)
How it works and the effects:
1. You activate the ability and it will start an animation (might be possible to make with the new codings)
2. The animation will start pulling in parts of the ship that is not directly connected to the ship (connected with beams or whatever)
3. The animation will work as a charge up beacuse when all the parts have been pulled into the hull it will either give a massive boost (like the hegemony capital ship) or it will give the ship a good boost in speed but lower it's turning speed
4. It will either be an ability that can last for a certain amount of time or it will be one that can be turned on and off at a cost.
Short explination: The ability will start an animation that will pull in certain ship parts, after that all the engine power is transfered to the back to eiher give a massive boost for a certain amount of time or be possible to toggle on and off at a price
It would start in this shape:Spoiler(http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u399/sini002/remake_zps748c0a8f.png)[close]
and after the system/ability is activated it will start an animation that will pull in certain ship parts.
like this. (there is two possible ways it can end up too)
Version 1
1.Spoiler(http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u399/sini002/remakewithsystem_zps707e22c6.png)[close]
2.Spoiler(http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u399/sini002/remakewithsystemv12_zps8fe46fc3.png)[close]
Version 2Spoiler(http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u399/sini002/Anmarsystem11_zpsf90c08b7.png)[close]
Notes:SpoilerNote: The sprite pics are pretty rude kitbashing (i'd guess it's called) so it may not require to be the final look,
And i do have ideas for other systems but i have not made them a sprite or explination.
Note*: there might be a lot of words spelled wrong :P[close]

There are two major problems with such animation:
1. you can`t animate ship border polygon and weapon/engine placements.
2. damage sprites (crack, flashes) will not apply correctly (or apply at all) to any animated stuff. So your ship`s husk will end up with all original sprite covered in cracks and wings being just greyed out breaking those cracks in some places.
On a side note - the first problem might be averted by some heavy scripting involving manual coordinates movement. API seems to contain weapon/engine coordinates and polygon parameters. But manual positioning frame by frame might be problematic.
Hi can you just release the ship sprites I really like the ships, I dont know anything about modiding but I can trySince the sprites are not mine I don't think I can do that sorry, give spriting a go mate, it's quite fun to build a ship that's unique :), I'll be getting started on this hopefully today now I've finally got everything up and running

I quite love this mod. One question, though; is it normal to start with a Capital?
I quite love this mod. One question, though; is it normal to start with a Capital?Nah, It's just for testing, Unless you contribute, at which point you get a portrait added(if you supply one :P) And a special version with your chosen ship set as your starting one
Those do look gorgeous Doogie, great work on making themYeah very awesome
why so dark ? & it seems to be a little similar to each other if those are 2 different factions
Faction number oneSpoiler(http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u399/sini002/Factionunknown_zps691e1b0b.png)[close]

Right, so I decided I'd check on you guys to see how you're coming along with our sprites.
Sprog, if you need something offensively large, you can take this one in addition to the ship you already asked about:

dammit how much work do i have now?? ^^'Hehe, loads, where have you been all day! I've been waiting for you!!!
you should really get other ways to contact me than steam sprog :P i have been online for 7 hours ^^'Well *** me sideways with a spoon
WITH A SPAK...

hmm... Why does that seem so familiar???
Ah yes, that's right.... ;D
Anywho, I'll get to work on the finer details soon, but for now I must sleep

They are possibly looking darker because of the background or something :P They look similar because of that number one (Currently called The Rouges) are a rouge "state" of sorts created by a group of people who broke of from the Hegemony-ish faction (nr. 2) and settled on a station on the edge of the system :)

Them bloody reds are up to no good eh?
hmmm Dropbox is telling me that the file isn't there anymore either deleted or moved. Can someone point me to the actual file and update the OP? Or was it taken down on purpose?Drat I must have taken Itdown during backup of files, wait till the update coming today
There's an update coming today? Aw Yiss!Yeah, will spellcheck and grammar check it today then upload, should be about an hour
Also, did you get the PM of the lore?
I might get in touch with Sini and see if he wants me to do the faction lore as well.Feel free :)
yay, downloading and trying it now. i'll be back.Awesome, feel free to post on what you enjoyed/didn't enjoy

The ships that are currently in the game now are the unique ships, designed as a kind of mini boss fleet. They will and do patrol around on their own. If you cap Elaine of these puppies in the full version you either have an epic support vessel or main ship, or you have a hell of alot of money to play with.
Regarding the current spawn point. I am looking to have that changed, but have no idea how to do so, any hints on that would be fantastic.

Gladly, i did really like most of the ships, although i must ask, is there a reason that the only ships implemented are capitals and a super heavy freighter?
Are smaller ships planned to flesh out the fleets? i severely hope so because the capitals are a lot of fun, although compared to vanilla ships quite over powered.
To balance that if you don't want to dim the lights a bit so to speak the capitals should be massively rare and or expensive.
Also i do like that for testing purposes (or at least i hope so) that you put all the ships added into the starting dialogue to try them out.
The last thing i have to say is that the idea that everything is trying to murder you is quite possibly one of the greatest things ever, although there is an issue with the hegemony trying to kill you as well, the main issue being that you spawn on their planet next to a giant defense fleet this will be an issue once you remove the giant fleet of capitals for you to choose from at the beginning
Hmm, I'll give it a shot. However, SWS being the master overlord he is always had a distinct style that I had trouble mimicking. I'll give it my best though.Fantastic!! Thankyou very much! Unfortunately I'm away from my pc right now :)
In the meantime, I compiled all my good ships into a single download with solid-color backgrounds. They can be found under the spoiler in this post. (http://www.wyrdysm.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5400&p=113018#p113018)
Finally got around to this. Not at all on par with SWS's original fleet though.Awesome!!! Thanks!

Yea, but tennis and life and girlfriend have been consuming me.Ahaa, whenever you can is great :D, bit smaller than the last ones
Eh, It'd be better looking if you resized them. It's quite tricky to make small ships look not bland. And since I also may release these on Wyrdysm, I'm also following the screenshot format that is socially required.Brilliant man, thanks!
Oh jeezus, that's gonna be a lot of lore...Yep lol
Hmm, no idea how to do it, but if you want to spend hours teaching me, I'm up for it.
Most, you got me on Skype right?Yeah mate
Most, you got me on Skype right?Yeah mate
well I was thinking you can just copy and paste the code. Then insert in your "Ids" and change the coordinates. Wouldn't that work? If so, maybe someone could create a template with blank slots for future modders if successful
I got skype set up.
there is a reason for that if you look below his avatar. with red text.His mods will go unmodded :'(
It's been a while, eh guys?How did you? I just thought about for how long this mod was abandoned... Maybe noticed my download? :D

Haha, Nahhhh. I've only just came back from a two year absence! I'm afraid the mod won't (Or shouldn't, haven't tried it yet lol) work in 0.65.2a at the moment. It needs an overhaul and reimagining which I plan on getting underway this weekend!I can clean up sprite edges for you, also i think you need some weapon sprites as well... That's aside from whole lot of work updating it up to new campaign mechanics)

Its relatively comprehensive for the basics.
