I'm either done or about to be other than a texture, any suggestions? [img]http://www.solsticewebgraphics.com/sins/borgqueen_002a.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.solsticewebgraphics.com/sins/borgqueen_002b.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.solsticewebgraphics.com/sins/borgqueen_002c.jpg[/img] ds
I would vote for weaker all around say 25 to 50 percent, just because if a ship is boarded they will wreck it before they can upgrade the ships systems. ds
Im not sure how draven sees this mod but if he indulges my whims, the ships for the most part will be as listed on the first page... did you read all of this post? why would there only be 6 cap ships in game? we can change cap limits with ease... anyone can. which cube which sphere? there are a few types. the unicomplex is under development, please re read the rest of the posts in this thread. I like the fact that you were interested but you were just too uncl

First off great tutorial, I'm sure a lot of people will find it very useful and I look forward to the texturing! I did have trouble trying to duplicate your rotoscoping skills, I'm not sure how you achieved your views could you go into more detail as to how you made it look? for some reason the images I used got all wonky. and for those of you that really cant wait to import this model into sins save your work then follow my import from xsi tutorial some of it will not apply to
I'll go look now! you rock bud!!!!!!! ds
well everything that should be there is for me the longest I only played 30 min too much else to do , but I never got a single crash of minidump or anything. love your work ezraeil and am looking forward to more stuff! ds
well I for one am not all trekified so I'm not holding to ST absolutes, I want it to look and feel like it but not let it ruin a mod for a game not meant to be based on ST specifically. but thats my opinion yes the borg will be stronger but not to start off... I think if the player using the borg can survive the first 2-3 hours building them up they deserve to wipe the map up with them. saying that anyone who uses the mod can always mod it themselves to make the borg stronger
bump! cuse I really want this mod!!! I love you man!!!!! erm, in a completely manly and proper way of course... :d hurry! ds
I realize your very anxious for a ST mod but did you have to make a post to say it? why not go into any one or all of the mod posts and say it there? I'm not trying to be mean but this post is a waste of space time and makes it harder to navigate the forum, please think before making another separate posting. thanks ds
so I was trying to see if there was another veiw of the borg scout only to find this and there is already an actual scout ship... so whats the probe for? arg! [link="http://shipschematics.net/cgi-bin/startrek/others.cgi"]WWW Link[/link] just scroll down to the borg section. I don't see any diamonds so I assume your not going strict ST official ships? cuse if thats all they have your screwed on the variety of ships. although the battle ship could be cool to mod
no Borg I believe is the reason. Im sure I or someone will merge both into one once both are out, take the best of all the trek mods and combine them into one super trek mod. ds
I found a borg prob online so I'm making a scout ship from it everything else borg is huge! at least in relation to federation ships! the scale in ST it weird why is the FED all small ships? even the darn Romulans have bigger ships! how do they compete? anyways im almost done modeling the scout ship/prob its a lot more challenging than a darn cube! but I had a thought one of the ST movies, I think it had picard in it, anywho it had a shpere ship launching from a cube... maybe us a cube
as far as I know hes going to be helping be hone my texturing skills over the next few weeks when he has time but ill post some shots of models Ive built and the xsi files if you want to look at them closer. Ill also make a cube a sphere and a diamond just to see if my ideas match yours. and ill hunt about to see if there is any sort of borg bases online. expect a few thing to look at by tomorrow. ds
what version are you using ( sins version ) what mods are you using? how are you trying them? info! ds
well Im good at most things but I have no clue on particle effects ( i do have some experiments I'm working on ) or texturing ( I'm hoping to remedy this in the next few weeks ) I have made about 15 models in xsi which is the only program I have for 3d graphics and the borg are cool so if you need my very amateurish help just let me know. the biggest problem would be I have no clue what borg ships look like! you would have to show me what you were going for. you should talk to

JUST KIDDING!!!! ok first, no. the name length problem is hard coded I believe I haven't seen any name mods and don't think its possible yet. second, yes. you would have to import the original models into a 3d program alter the scale remap the textures to them and then import them back into the game via a very painful process. third, no ( maybe ). I think that would entail creating new types of effects which is impossible right now if what ev
no,yes,no,don't believe so but I may be wrong ( not likely ),no. ds
I did try to modify a cap ship to do just that using elements from a fighter but it failed very badly.
Nice find Ill have a look at them and see if i can find what I'm doing wrong. If I do, I will defiantly start a how to for dummies like me section. ds Now see! just 10 seconds in and I learn how to put a very useful pluprint drawing into xsi so I can use it as a reference! once again great find.
I was just looking at this picture you posted... http://www.personal.psu.edu/zjb105/Stuff/UVTexturemaps.png and If I could even get xsi to generate a uv texture map in one recognizable lump like yours it would help a lot but mine always comes out looking either totally disjointed or in such small chunks you cant do jack with it. grr ds
well if you can upload the files your altering we could maybe debug them. ds
hey dragon! no my attempts to texture just look maleformed like i get a landing strip looking good in photoshop elements or paint shop pro X or even windows bitmap and a couple more, and the results are the same when applied, distorted and pixilated no mater the file format, Im pretty experienced in computer graphics ( 2d ) so Its very frustrating. then when I export it will not apply to the model correctly in game thus my dirty ugly solution. I can upload a couple exa
sorry from what I have been told and tried and read its like this... 3 weapon types 4 abilities and only 10 hardpoints per weapon type or hangar or you name it... until they loosen some of the restictions if ever we are stuck. ds
