This is a list of all the structures that are still missing images in Supremacy. The list is considerably larger than I was expecting so any help anyone can give us with making images would be much appreciated. I'll continue to add to this list over the next few days as I record which buildings need images while I continue to update Supremacy.

Image Rules
Any user that submits an image must follow these rules.

1. All submitted images must be your own work or acquired by ligitimate means with express permission from the creator/owner of said image. Images cannot therefore be taken from eg. a Google search and submitted as your own, nor can they be taken from other games or media. Users that are found to have plagiarised work will have all of their submitted files removed and their account temporarily suspended while we investigate. Plagiarism and outright theft of another persons work will not be tolerated, so don't even try. Theft is a crime.

Note: We are currently using a small number of images that were taken from BOTF. These are stopgap images that we have always explicitly stated that we WILL be replaced in the future, so they are not special cases.

2. Images should be saved in the .png format where possible. .jpg's and .gif's are also acceptable, but .png's produce a much higher quality image. We always prefer image quality over filesize, but if you submit a .png image, please use compression software such as PNGGauntlet to reduce the final filesize of the image. Supremacy is also capable of handling transparencies so you may also make use of this feature.

3. Images should be a minimum of 270 pixels wide by 225 pixels high; we will accept larger images but they must have the same aspect ratio (Ie. the width-height ratio is 1.2 : 1). Images that are smaller than 270x225 will be automatically scaled up by the game, but this will cause a loss in quality, so we will not accept smaller images.


Missing Images
This is the full list of structures that are still in need of images. I've provided brief descriptions of the structures to help artists create the images that we need, but these are just a guide; feel free to interpret the structures however you want. Our main goals are quality and variety.

The orbital batteries and shipyard images can come out of Sharepoint / Image Library / Ships and Stations / Subfolders / 270 x255.png images. Did we recently add a minor race shipyard to the minor race list?

I think MOE should have the title of Life Support System. I take him for granted but would soon be dead without him.

true

I added in the minor race shipyards myself - they're going to need one afterall Kenneth if they're gonna build ships.

I didn't give them a fleetyard though, didn't seem any point as not even the Vulcans have tech 11 ships. I've set the minor races so that the best shipyard they can build corresponds with the level of the most advanced ship they can build, so it they can only build scouts, they won't be able to upgrade their shipyard to a medium yard and so on. It's an easy enough job (But tedious) if people want to change this though.

The images that i've got for the minor races is just the original minor race shipyard image from BOTF. I butchered it a bit in Micro$oft Paint so it looked like the medium and large yards actually were larger upgrades.

The minor races actually have several special structures of their own that the Empires can't build, although that's usually coz the Empires have their own versions or a better version with more bonuses (And a larger cost). Don't worry Kenneth, you won't need to model any of those structures, but it'll mean that fighting and subjugating the minors wil be much more difficult this time round.

...

Life Support System eh? That must be the first rank that is part of a ship, rather than part of the crew. I'm surprised you don't realise i'm actually alive.

Assigning a shipyard model to the minors is no problem. So we need these structures or just the images?




????

It's up to you whether you make models for the minor race shipyards. ALL of the minors share the same shipyard, so it should be generic in design if you do make one.

...

Didn't you ever wonder what the generic defense section of Dafedz's Database meant? The minors have got some new special defense structures that will make invasion and subjugation more difficult. Since they're not stations etc though, they won't need 3D models.

OK, when we decide if there is an orbital planet assault in the 3D game we could then put in other things like that fighter (attach ship) squadron for the minors. More on that later...

I've currently set "Fighter Squadrons" as a structure, like an Aircraft Hangar are something. If you want to make fighter models and if Wolfe's combat system can handle it, then by all means go right ahead.

The fast and dirty would be put a few fighters in a rigid formation and save it as one .3DS model file. It would play like one ship, turn like a lawn mower and be easy to build from a generic attach ship (fighter) we already have.

A nice fight in orbit, big planet in the background, would look hot and be a big improvement over BOTF 1.

I dunno if ground combat should be turned into a RTS of it's own. Things should be kept as simple as possible while mimicking reality to a acceptable level.

Ground combat the way MOO3 did it is more then enough - in fact quite more than enough.

I agree. Coming up to but not on a planet to assault the orbital batteries, Starbase and yards in the 3D engine would be more than enough for our game.

It ain't a structure, but is the current supremacy wormhole picture not from good old botf?

I found two others over at trekmeshes.ch where one of them (the "whiter" one) is from Hathaway which granted us free use of all his pictures. The other is from jörg gerlach and downloadable as 3d model there (could be nice addition to battle engine?).

Hathaway allowed us to use his images? Oh wow, i'm familiar with his work. He's a fantastic artist. That's really good news if he's allowed us to use his stuff.

...Wormholes haven't been implemented in the game yet, so the image isn't even in the map icons folder. When Mike is ready to implement them, i'll make sure he knows about your post, Mal. Dafedz's image in the database is just there as a possibility - we don't even know if it will be possible to have Wormholes in systems yet.

my bad, I was referring to the black hole images inside supremacy stars folder. but well, they do good as a black hole too I think. Here's another Creative Commons one from wikipedia:

I think we'll have to leave it to Mike to implement images like this; the map images are animated and I haven't got a clue how to animate something complex like that. I can't even get the transparencies to work. It came out so bad i'm not gonna even show it!

Fast Response Plasma Net- DONE


The Fast Response Net is a tactical orbital defence platform designed to target hostile incursions into Romulan space. All detected threats can be resisted and potentially destroyed by a devastating arsenal of state of the art plasma weapons.

SPACE SCENE: Zeleni

That looks great. I am glad Atolm will let us use this. I will get that Fed OB to you as soon as I can.

nice pic!

btw. for all of you having missed a nice 3D modeling program, there is a free one now (formerly commercial, 600$, bought up by Microsoft): Truespace 7.6 (English, but german download site)

It's nice that is free but i will stick with 3d studio max, i have no time for learning curve.

Wow nice image!

...Unfortunately it doesn't scale to 270x225 very well. Anyone know how to remedy that?

What about this?

Thanks Iwulff. How did you manage to do that without cutting out any of the image? When I resized it in irfanview I ended up with the moon looking like an oval.

he cut out the right part of the image. you see that in the bottom right corner in particular.

For God sake why are you cutting image? This image is max scene i can render it in any resolution i wish... this image was only example!

Take it easy, Zeleni. It only took a few seconds, and i didn't knew you had a max scene file. Just upload one, with the resolution Moe gave us.

Don't worry Iwulff you aren' t on the "scope" but Matress is and his evil image editor! (long story)

Here you go Matress:

Fast Response Plasma Net 270 x 225




Klingon Orbital Attack Grid ( I hope isn't too obvious green planet is actually rehued mars texture )

now that you say, it looked familiar .

can you do two 200x150 shots too? I think the design is not really trek canon so we could reuse it for our own content.

How did you manage to turn Mars green without making the ice cap green as well?

The Klingon station has only been used in Armada from what I know, so you should be safe from Paramount. I'm not sure about Activision though, Mal. A smaller image should make things a bit more ambiguous though.

Thanks for those Zeleni, they're excellent images. I've added them to my folder as rom_fast_response_plasma_net.png and kling_orbital_attack_grid.png.

If Irfanview can't handle stuff like this what do you suggest I use? Irfanview is free, easy to use, free, and easy to use. Oh, and did I say it was free?

@matress- rehuing is really easy, just open your paint.net go to ADJUSTMENTS then click on HUE/ SATURNATION and play around with HUE bar (similar thing in Irfan)

Ah, so it's "swap colours" in Irfanview. Matress likes new functions.
