Free Shipyard, Outfit Mall, and Planet Procurement - New Stuff Available

Onyx

For those of you who knew my shipyard existed, it now has additional free material!
(url="http://"http://www.pacifier.com/~kkey/shipyard/index.html")http://www.pacifier....pard/index.html(/url)

There is quite a large array of outfits that I've added, along with weapon shot sprites. Mr. T. Isles will shrewdly notice that I finished this a day late, but better it get here now than not at all, eh?

Also, in one batch file is a full replacement set of EV-sized stellar objects (the planets are actually a little bigger), including sprite and landing graphic, plus a couple extra stations.

All these articles are free to use for your EV projects however you wish, so long as you don't try to claim them as your own original material. It should also be mentioned here and now that I can not do requests for anyone, so please restrain from asking. Thank you.

Enjoy, y'all!

p.s. - If anyone wants to list this link on a resource directory, I'd applaud it.

Nice :).

Cool! Good stuff. Full linkage will be provided when (url="http://"http://el3.northernswamp.com")el3(/url) finally goes live next month. Do you have a banner I could put on the links page, or shall I just make one? Either option pose no problems for me

You can go ahead and make one yourself, that's cool. I'm all graphic'd-out at the moment.

Very nice... As always your texturing is a shining inspiration to me. Funny, I was working on texturing a ship, I went here to grab a photo of dirt pipeline posted a bit ago (couldn't find the digital camera) and I saw this topic, I looked at the stuff, and now I'm inspired to go back to work...

Thanks Onyx, I won't be using any of them, but the are bloody good.

I am eternally grateful. I especially like the oldschool computer. Will be great for the race that never developed semiconductor technology and thus uses "computers" consisting of relays and switches.
By the way, shots.sit is 404.
And even better, unlike Skyblade's site, your files can be opened on a PC using the plugin converter and EVNEW. Now, to fire up that low-loss image enlarger plug for photoshop and nova-ize some of these graphics.

shots.sit is now present and accounted for, thanks Azratax2. If anyone else finds a faulty link, please let me know. I'll fix any problem as soon as I possibly can.

Glad you folks like 'em! I think the most recent graphic on the site is from 1999 or 2000, in case anyone is wondering as to recentness. Cool to know it's still inspiring people.

Heck, it can still inspire me. In fact, I may be pouring over some of these looking for inspiration for something I've been stalled on for a while now...

They might be a bit old/not formatted right for most peoples' uses today (ie. Nova), but they're still nice to see. Great stuff, Onyx.

Pinky, are you pondering what I am pondering?
I think so, Brain, but if they called them sad meals, kids wouldn't buy them.

Ever play "Freespace"? The Battered Frigate looks exactly like one of the ships from that game.

This is great stuff, but would you consider lumping it into one plug? It's kind of a pain to download everything separately.

Thanks

Yes, I must agree on the Frigate comment :).

What happened to that plug you mentioned, Cold Blood? Are you still working on it?

I think he said at one point that he was redoing all of the graphics for it, to take advantage of Nova.

I think I can say that Cold Blood is the coolest EV plug-in never released.

I look forward to eventual release for Nova.

Onyx, give me a bell at my email address for some thoughts on that.

I'll be putting batch files up pre-thanksgiving, one lump for ships, another for outfits. These will be in addition to the individual files, as I don't want to discourage those on dialups, nor anyone who only needs a couple of these. Also, it shouldn't be hard at all to EnRLE the files the way they're set up, and there are a couple cheap photoshop tricks one could do to create engine glows without any hand-painting. The dimensions of the ships would still be small by Nova terms, but certainly usable. I'm not on my home computer right now, else I would upload the batch files right now.

Sam_the_Smart: That frigate was, not surprisingly, directly inspired by that ship from Freespace. I'll fix the link for cannon #4 in a few hours. Thanks!

Weepul 884: I remember when you asked me how I decided where to put details and whatnot, and I wrote an exhaustive theory on how I envisioned the physics of Cold Blood to operate...ah, those sweet, innocent days. I should've jsut said "I operate on serendipity," in retrospect. Your stuff is a great inspiration to me, still, I should mention.

The state of Cold Blood is thus (warning: lengthy):

All the graphics on this page were created for CB originally, when it was designed to run off of the first EV engine. The alpha version for it was quite playable, only completely devoid of missions and running on half a galaxy. I think I said I'd upload this version to the public, 'cause it's a thoroughly entertaining battle plug if nothing else. On a more personal level, the original story was co-written with my girlfriend at the time, and when that relationship ended, the project understandably stalled.

Enter Nova. Now I can do what I always wanted with the graphics, yet the source 3D files for the ships were all lost. The new story wouldn't have used many of them anyway, so I'm re-doing all graphics in LightWave while I donate the old ones for public use (thus m shipyard is created). Additionally, a lot of the limitations I had put on plot due to the engine are now gone. Three cheers to the ATMOS team and MCB for that!
The only thing that now stands in my way is, well, time. The relentless onward march of college demands a fair portion of my attention, whether I yield to it or not. Winter break will see some substantial progress, possibly a new site where I can detail this sort of info at length. In any case, it is not dead as long as I am still alive, and I hope it won't always be "the coolest plug-in never released" (thanks pipeline, email is pending).

So...yeah. I may release "novafied" versions (i.e. photoshopped, not re-rendered) of the shipyard with engine glows, but no banking for obvious reasons.

Perhaps I should post more often, so all this text is more fairly distributed amongst multiple posts...cheers if you've read this far!

Also, I noticed the Tri-Wing ship looks incredibly like the ship Zorg goes to the "Cruise Ship" ship in in the Fith Element... any inspiration there?

Okay, folks, cannon #4's link is fixed, and archives are available for all ships and all outfits, respectively. I'm not going to have one archive with everything, as to not get too redundant with my limited webspace. I figure people can download four separate files without much pain.

Jules: Right on the money with the "tri-wing". The "gold cruiser" is my take on Flohstin Paradise, I might add. There's a few more in there, for those who are paying close attention.

Woah! Photoshop trick to add engine glow? cool.
I would love to see engine glows for those ships - that would make most of them fully novalike (not the fighters, since fighters in nova tend to have banking which obviously cannot be done without rerendering, but all the other ships would be all set for nova, and I think they would fit in quite well (I do not think they are too small for nova use).
I see particular potential in my plugin for the fanwinged ship (in-system enforcer ship, desc will explain how it was a common mid-high-atmospheric ship that was then forced to be adapted to use in space after the govt in question had to re-allocate many true fighters to fight a war)
I also love your freighters. The "big freighter" looks a lot like the space containers shown on the sephil saga graphics preview page. Anyone else notice this too?

There's one cannon on that page that looks very similar to the Banshee from Freespace.
