Glad you like the graphics, guys. Funny thing is, I was really hesitating to post them at first because I thought they were pathetic.
Hydrogen Turret
Hydrogen Beam Sprite
You want a cannon version of this weapon, ares?

Man, you're just flying through these, aren't you? That looks great. Yeah, I think I will have a cannon version. Other than missions, making the weapons has been the most time-consuming process... I don't think this plug will be out for a while. I was hoping it would spend a couple weeks in development, but now I'm thinking a lot more.
Between school, church, soccer, housework, and more school, I have very little time on my hands to spend on this. But it's getting done. Slowly, but surely. Just keep the awesome graphics coming.

Thanks ares. It's Friday night, so I've got the time to work on graphics. If it rains here in Tennessee tommorow like it has been forcasted, I can probably find additional time for your oufit graphics.
I'll try to get to the cannon version of the hydrogen weapon in a bit.
Now, here's your hyperdrive enhancement chip graphic. It's not hardware, but I guess even a chip can be expensive.
Hyperdrive Enhancement
(quote)Originally posted by ares1: **Man, you're just flying through these, aren't you?:)
I have to ask Skyblade, for that Turret, did you actually make a 3d model of it, or did you just modify the Laser Turret in Photoshop? If you modelled, you did a heck of a job making it resemble the original.
Oh, and you wouldn't mind if I use that hyperdrive enhancer in some future plug do you? I don't think it'll go in AI, but it looks sweet, and I have considered using hyperdrive enhancments in plugs before. It could also be adapted to a number of other things.

Go ahead and use the hyperdrive enhancer graphic, or any other graphic I've posted here (as long as ares is alright with that).
ares- Here's the Hydrogen Cannon:

I have no problem with you using anything that I use in my plugin. Skyblade made the graphics, so it is really his call, and he says yes. I have a lot of stuff in there from free shipyards. I will mention those in the readme along with the websites from which they came in case you want to use any.
Skyblade, these last two look great. I will add those right now... Although I am having trouble making cannon work in the game... but I will get that fixed soon.
Have you begun work on the ships yet? Because I have a new request. When I said, for the pirate ships, that I wanted their frigate to be a modified corvette, forget that. I do need a new, cool graphic for the kestrel and corvette, but just make a new ship for the pirate frigate like the others.
Okay, I'm having a big problem. Well, a little problem. I can't get the cannon I made to fire in the game. The turrets work beautifully, but I cant make the cannons fire. I went through the laser cannon in EV Data and mine looks exactly the same, except I changed a few things so that it would be when I want, and not a laser cannon. Same for the outfit resource. I can see no reason why it shouldn't work. I filled in the graphics field correctly and everything.
I posted the plug on my site. Get it (url="http://"http://home.cfl.rr.com/aresev/GA.sit")here(/url). I don't have the STRs or Descs done for one of them yet, but that shouldn't affect the gameplay. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? The ones that arent working are the Hydrogen Cannon and the Particle Cannon.

About your problem with the hydrogen cannon, it sounds like your either have a bad sprite and mask, or your graphic ID is incorrect. Make sure you have the grid size in place correctly, and make sure your cannon is linked to the right graphic ID...
Since I really can do much on my G3, I haven't even done any ships yet. I don't even have Infini-D on my iMac, so I'm stranded in terms of the ships. However, I've got the time to complete all your outfit graphics, so if you have any more in mind, post your requests. Glad you like the graphics.
I'll check out your plugin and tell you what I think.
Particle Accelerator Turret
Oh, thanks, but I already have a graphics for the particle accelerator and cannon. I got it from your old Dreden stuff.
Ok, I will check over the graphics.
Nope, the graphics are fine. I have the proton bolt cannon set to the same graphic as the Particle Accelerator, but the latter does not work, while the proton bolt works fine. Something is really messed up here.
Originally posted by ares1: **Oh, thanks, but I already have a graphics for the particle accelerator and cannon. I got it from your old Dreden stuff.
Actually, I started working on the particle accelerator turret after seeing how distorted the graphic you were already using looked (no offense, the perspective just looks really off).
As for your problem, I really don't know what to say. Perhaps one of the members here can download your plug and look for the problem, since plugin development isn't exactly my strong area...
Yeah, my version is quite crappy. But I don't really want the hydrogen turret and particle accelerator to look so similar.
I will ask my question on the dev board about the cannons.
Originally posted by ares1: **Yeah, my version is quite crappy. But I don't really want the hydrogen turret and particle accelerator to look so similar.
Nah, I didn't say you're graphic was bad, the perspective was just off.
If you want, I could add some extra detail to either the Hydrogen or Particle weapons to make them look less alike, or even replace the blue colors with red...
That would be great. Just change the blue to red on the hydro turrets and whatever else would help.
Originally posted by ares1: **That would be great. Just change the blue to red on the hydro turrets and whatever else would help.
Alright. But does that mean you want the Hydrogen Torpedo sprite and turret (cannon) sprite colored red as well?

I don't know if this has been answered, but you copy the EV data files, and split the "EV Data" file into two separate files, and THEN rename the entire thing like EVO's (Override Data 1, etc.). You'll have to do some stuff after that in Res-Edit, though. However, that shouldn't be too hard.

Heh, thanks, but... Well, we already got the spobs done. I probably wouldn't have bothered to do all of that anyways, and done it in Resedit. But Macavenger so graciously volunteered to do all the spobs for us, and he did a great job.
Skyblade, I'm sorry I kinda left this morning while we were talking. I've been stuck in this stupid house all day staring at the monitor, and I couldn't stand it anymore. Hoped on my bike and did a few miles around my neighborhood.
Hey, that would be great. I mean making the hydrogen bolts be red. If you can do that, great. If it will take a long time, don't worry about it. It looks great this way if you want to start working on some other stuff.

Don't worry about it. I also get sick of staring at the computer every now and then, and a few hours of archery practice today fixed that.
Alright, I'm off to replace the hydrogen blue with red. It's no big deal, and it shouldn't take very long...
Alright. I just made a "to-do" list for the plug. It's mostly jobs for me, but the following are all (probably) the graphics I will need:
New armour - human New heavy rocket + launcher - human Light turreted beam - pirate/alien Heavy beam - pirate/alien Some sort of powerful seeking projectile + launcher - pirate/alien Space mine - pirate/alien Turret with green bolts (Proton bolts made green would be great) - pirate/alien Armour - pirate/alien
Those will probably be all of the outfit graphics (and a few sprites) that I need. I may add a few or decide i don't need a few, in which case I will post a message or email you telling you of the changes.
I posted the ships that I want done earlier. I know you have not begun on those yet, so when I make a new topic for this discussion (which I will soon, because it is nearing 200 posts) shall I repost the list of ships that I want?
