STXI Weapons Test

[Jetfreak]

Hey guys, I've been messing around lately with several Fleet Ops Textures and I've recently come up with a decent rendition of the new Phaser bolts and Torpedoes seen in the recent film.

Using my older TMP Phaser as a template and after spending some time editing and recoloring some Fleet Ops weapon textures, I present to you this showcase and proof of concept.

Spoiler: XIPhas

I seem to have nailed the style pretty well and looks great in-game. Like my TMP Phasers, it also flows like pulses.

As for sound effects, I'm gonna check with Wiley if he's okay with it.


However, as I have used Fleet Ops textures in this mod, getting a green light to release this to the public may be difficult. They're pretty strict with edits of their own stuff and If my request is denied, they'll only stay for personal use.

Anyway, I am currently in talks with their staff. Still waiting for the reply though, and hoping for the best.


Feedback welcome.

Could you not just modify another texture? One that's more lenient with it's uses?

(It looks spot on by the way, great job! )

 

[Knight]

looks awesome Jet, hope you get permissions to release them, they look cool

Looking great Jet, nice to see you posting WIP's here.

If you are denied it might be a wise idea to use it as a template to make your own or edit another like stock.

 

[Jetfreak]

Yeah, It'd better look for another source if possible. The stock ones aint too bad.

Although considering, the Phasers itself is barely from Fleet Ops now that I remember how I did it. Actually, only the torpedoes are fully theirs.

For the phasers, its the stock armada Romulan pulses and an XI screenshot which is heavily edited and combined with some after effects with PS. I guess the end result look so great that I mistook it for one. Anyway, I used theirs as a guide so this could well be a copy considering.

As the torpedo is simply a minor edit of their original, I'm open for any templates you guys might have. Any takers?

 

[Majestic]

I might have some sources Jet, PM me and I'll see if I can pass along a link to you.

 

[Jetfreak]

A heads up guys. Thanks to Maj's help in looking for some texture templates. The mod is finally done and is on its way through the interwebs. It should be up soon.

[thunderfoot]

Appreciate it for sure.

Hmmm, sounds like a shout-out to a few modelers out there. Especially amateur, the original creator. Tfoot here wants a "version 2" of your JJprise. He wants a "good looking" one this time. Wonder what that means...

Bigger Bussard collectors and a tight, round shuttlebay?

Such a beast exists???

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll get my coat...

 

[Jetfreak]

^ Yes, how discreet of you kind sir. Thank you...


Anyway a heads up on recent developments on the mod.

There will be a PATCH.







Simply put, a simple texture update on the Phaser texture of the JJprise. I will have a pic up later.

 

[Majestic]

I look forward to it.

 

[La Patience]

The phasers look great JetFreak, I do like the phasers off of the new movie so these are excelent heh

 

[Jetfreak]

And here is the new Phaser bolt texture.

Spoiler: Fire

And for the best detail and accuracy, the weapon bolt is taken directly from a STXI screencap from one of the trailers.

 

[Majestic]

Outstanding work Jet, really you've done an awesome job here.

 

[Jetfreak]

Thanks man, nice to see it up and running on such short notice.

 

[thunderfoot]

Wow! These are even closer to the movie than the last ones! We're not worthy!

 

[Majestic]

You're welcome Jet.

 

[CABAL]

Kind of hard to get more accurate than the actual effect used in the movie, lol. I can't remember, did the JJprise have beams and torps at all, or did it just have pulses?

 

[Katala]

You have done a great job there Jetfreak, well done

 

[Lord_Trekie]

It at least had torps, not sure on the beams, been a while since i've seen it lol.

That looks pretty awesome and very accurate, like others also have said.
