Looking good Yacuzza, and just a note, you don't need to put in youtube tags, just post the link and it will automatically embed the video.

Jetfreak is my friend. He does great A2 mods. He can do this because first and foremost he is great human being. The talent, skill, and humor he shares with us are a direct result of his outstanding character. I cannot do some of the things he does with A2 (Yet. I'm working on it.) But what I can do is share this with you. Here is another rather small tribute to another rather large talent.

I am usually ambivalent about ENT. But there is no denying the superb quality Jetfreak put into his NX-01 mod. Thanks, Man! You rrock!

 

[Jetfreak]

My pleasure sir, always nice to see the fruits of labor.

TMP Romulans

I've been busy lately. I am nearly finished with my current little side project. I'd like to share a video of the results of this work with you.

I like a lot, very nicely done.

 

[Jetfreak]

Just got done adding in Terra_Inc's awesome new Cardie weapon to my custom install. I did tinker with it a little, lol. Gave it a custom sound effect and added lightmaps to the texture and adjusted the ODFs to fit in a little better with the Physics Project stuff. I know he posted pics but they really do not do this weapon true justice. So since a vid was called for, I made one.

If you do not run to the Downloads Section and grab this weapon after watching the following, well you really aren't a true Cardassian then, are you?

Beautiful work Terra and Thunderfoot. If it's okay with Terra I might use the weapon in Clash of Empire for the early Cardassian vessels.

That one is really great, thanks! I like the sound effect, the original one I used was from AoW, but I changed it to a stock effect for the release.
The Shield Effect is great, which one do you use?

No problem. Go ahead and use it.

A little something BSG...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu-1HH6m4zM

 

[Adm_Z]

cool vid thunder.

I like those "torpedoes" that it launches too, though Personally I prefer the missiles and rail guns in my soon to release mod.

Loved the pulses too

I've never been happy with using torps to simulate BSG missiles. No smoke trails, yet. Still working it though. But these did not turn out as badly as I feared they would.

 

[Majestic]

Awesome video and very worthy of the name and mantle.

Katala herself would be proud, whether we are talking about the Administrator or the God, both would be.

 

[Starfox1701]

Good work man

Yeah, mine turned out pretty good, but the missiles still arn't perfect

Spoiler: KEW railguns/missiles

Spoiler: battlestar missiles

Spoiler: Missile

Anyway, Cool video. I certainly couldn't make anything like it

 

[Jetfreak]

Superb tribute man, very fitting.

Also, how did you make those trails for missiles? Looks pretty neat. Is it available for DL yet?

Me or him

 

[StarBlade]

Me or him

Both. There's never just one way to make A2 more awesome.

 

[Adm_Z]

Well said TSK

 

[FahreS]

Also, how did you make those trails for missiles?

i believe that he used emitters.

 

[Adm_Z]

Thats what I did. I customized a plasma emitter making it stay longer, up'd the expulsion rate, ect. Worked out real well, 'cept it is still too thick for BSG missiles

I believe you can set the sprite size in the emitter sprites file, or you could create a new texture with a smaller plasma effect.
Problem is that the distances between these smoke effects will grow then, so you have to decrease the distance between them too.

 

[Adm_Z]

Exactly. I think I have made it as small as possible, cus, like you said, they will be spaced really far apart.

I have actually done both(its in FO so I kinda had to), but I don't think its getting any better any time soon

Proudly presenting EAS_Intrepid's Var'yaH and Majestic's TMP Sky Hawk

I enjoyed working on both of these ships. I hope you enjoy using them as well.

 

[Majestic]

Excellent vids Thunder, I really like the Skyhawks wireframe and edited Compact Dream GUI for the Romulans.

Very nicely done.

 

[Starfox1701]

Good vids man

Here is a video I made today showing what one can expect in what I am now calling the BSG Half Race Mod. This is made for A2 Stock, patched to 1.1. Since everyone starts from this point, I made an educated guess it would be easier to install in someone's modded game this way. Everything works when the Colonials are player controlled. Selecting them as an AI controlled faction will cause the game to crash. Hopefully those of you whom are smarter about this game will come up with an answer for this problem. Even better if you share with the rest of us! The Colonials will have one Special Weapon - Jump Drive. There are no Cylons. If I can get this to work correctly, I am sure the Cylons will arrive shortly from somewhere. They always seem to do so in the series, lol. Nearly all of the ships are made by other people. All I've done is flesh them out where needed. The Colonials will harvest Metal and Dilithium, but not Latinum. I have made building the warships dependant upon building the civvies. This was done to give people the incentive needed build and protect the Rag Tag Fleet.

And by this point you're probably tired of the reading. So go watch the vid. I am pretty happy with it. Hopefully, you will be too. This mod will be exclusive to MSFC because I am using a great many PRP ships in it. Including all those Hero battlestars Maj has made. (I found it easier to get him to help me out with some things this way. Sssshhh! If he finds out, he may ban me, lol)
