The easter egg is something else...

Something slightly more awesome, unless Zoythrus didn't include it.

I downloaded 1.2 which is linked in the first post. Is this the current version?

I couldn't get it to run in glestadv:

I had the same problem. There's a _newer_ 1.0 release:
https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=6027.msg64591#msg64591

easter egg: mhmm, what else do we have? A silly mp3 (left side, center)?

Btw, you should resize your quantum_energy image (2.590x2.590 is too much detail). And please don't add any more music. That's plenty enough good music.

Zoythrus · « **Reply #77 on:** 29 December 2010, 17:47:24 »

oops. that was a mp3 that a friend sent me, must have saved it in the mod.....oops...

(and no, the easter egg is something you can find ingame, so it's not this). also, the track is pretty good, feel free to take it (consider it an accidental gift)

and we are getting more music, but possibly to replace some of the tracks we have now. the limit here is ten for each faction.

Here's a few images of a tank I finished the a few days ago. Archmage modeled the gun, I pretty much modeled everything else. Can I have some feedback on it?

Also, can any pros give me some tips on this logo I made ages back? I really want to improve it but I don't have too many ideas:

I'm also just posting these cause this thread is severely lacking images.

Edit: Here is a small update on how we're going:
-Archmage has lots of animations to do.

-Sean is currently texturing the Paladin/crusader and making command icons.
-I'm retexturing the Portal and gateway, modeling a building called the refinery (trades resources) and texturing the AE and making a map.
-Zoy is arguing with me and coming up with all kinds of crazy ideas .

psycho your pictures are cool

I made a sig off it

Zoythrus · « **Reply #80 on:** 2 January 2011, 17:21:31 »

wow Gabbe, that's nice! (i hope you dont mind if i use it!)

and for the record, Hands and i are not "arguing," we just have creative differences

now, i dont know if you like the tank or not, but i do. who else agrees that the tank is just pure awesome?!

Gabbe · « **Reply #81 on:** 2 January 2011, 20:57:01 »

WHat no, i didnt make the picture, i just put a link that when you click on it then it takes you to the constellus page, it was hands that made the picture

John.d.h · « **Reply #82 on:** 2 January 2011, 21:38:52 »

Those screens are looking quite nice. The one nitpick I have is that the lines on the umm... wings(???) of the tank stands out in a bad way. While the lines elsewhere look like they could be some sci-fi circuitry or tribal design, there it looks haphazard.

I'm pretty sure the board rejects large images in signatures, by the way.

wyvern · « **Reply #83 on:** 2 January 2011, 23:15:29 »

The tank is nice but as John pointed out, there are some awkward parts that could be changed

Hagekura · « **Reply #84 on:** 3 January 2011, 05:17:15 »

I can't wait for you post some concept arts.

Psychedelic_hands · « **Reply #86 on:** 17 January 2011, 17:32:57 »

(click to show/hide)

finally got a bit of concept art!

It's taken me awhile to get something decent.. I'm still not fully used to the Graphics tablet

It's not really done, I need to put team-colour markings/cuts/dirt on but I'm bored of it and want some feedback; please, please, be as harsh as possible.
Tell me what you think of the design/concept/whatever. Say suggestions and stuff.... Say anything at all.

BTW if anyone wants to show me some markings they think would look nice on it, that'd be cool.

Hagekura · « **Reply #87 on:** 17 January 2011, 20:00:50 »

haha,he looks kinda Predator.

but a nice sketch.

Can I see his entire body?

Omega · « **Reply #88 on:** 18 January 2011, 21:51:50 »

Looks great! Never thought it could be good to use those graphic tablets...

Also, I'll assume it will need a weapon of some sort?

John.d.h · « **Reply #89 on:** 19 January 2011, 02:00:38 »

Cool. I still can't shake the ant-like feeling, though.

Tablets are the only way to go for "serious" graphical artists. I'm not "serious" enough to spend hundreds of dollars on one, though.

Hagekura · « **Reply #90 on:** 19 January 2011, 06:36:06 »

Tablets are very useful especially when you paint a delicate part of the texture like human face,drapes and wrinkles of clothes.
It's expensive indeed,but once you have bought it,you don't really have to replace it until it breaks.I'm still using wacom intuos1 tablet which I bought almost 7-years ago.

7 years? wow, if mine doesn't last that long I'll totally check a few of them out.

Hmmmm, Have any ideas of not making it "ant-like"? I think it's just the head shape that's making you think that. I can kinda see it too :'(

And I'm not serious at all

, I just have a cheap $100 Aiptek one, and I work a lot, but don't have much to spend to stuff on; so money isn't much of an issue for me. It was either this or buy a new scanner, and I thought one of these would be a lot more interesting

Thanks! Actually The Phorin are so brutal, they don't even need weapons

Only a few higher-ups and slave species of theirs use weapons.

Can someone please give me some advice/tips/complaints about it? I'd really love some.
I'll try and work on a few more, hopefully better pics soon...

John.d.h · « **Reply #92 on:** 20 January 2011, 20:17:26 »

It could be the shape of the head, I suppose, and the black patches on its face are reminiscent of an ant's eyes. Vertically flipping the dark patches might make it look less ant-like. If you're still going for the crustacean angle, adding some mouth feelers might help, or making its eyes more convex and circular.

Now that I look at it a little more, its face also reminds me of an isopod.

I drool over the tablets at my college, they are so awesome and fun to use...

I need to get me one of those... -_-

update: finished up the basic command icons, so hopefully those'll be released tomorrow with whateer else we were working on.

we've had a few setbacks, so we wont make the deadline we set (the 24th). we dont know when we will be done with the Crincillin, so dont hold your breath.

NOTE: whenever we do release them, know that it wont be their only update. as silnarm codes new stuff for us to use, we'll retrofit them.

Seanachaidh · « **Reply #95 on:** 17 February 2011, 03:17:01 »

Hey guys, we're having some trouble brainstorming, (mostly because we can never get on at the same time!!!), so I'm putting the question to you...

I'm currently in charge of make the command icons, we have a few, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for good recognizable symbols for the rest, things like "go" is an arrow, etc.

What I'm asking is, could you guys give me some ideas as to what symbols would be good for the following commands and techs:
harvest (carbon)
harvest (metal and crystal)
waypoint
attack on
attack off
Neutron Pulse Reactors
Enhanced Capacitors
Nanite Systems
Bunker designs
Crusader designs
Shrike designs
Specter designs
Carbosteel
Antimatter Cores
Redesigned Schematics
Infrared Optics
Metal
crystal stuff

Feel free to give suggestions on any or all, anything will be appreciated at the moment.

Carbon

Magnificent John! We were having trouble with that one in particular.

Omega · « **Reply #98 on:** 19 February 2011, 04:38:50 »

I think he is refering to the difficulty of getting carbon as a resource. Unless, of course, you are mining pure diamonds in truck loads? (take me to the planet with a diamond cutter!)

Sorry, authorized personnel only. Maybe when the mod comes out you can take yourself there.
