First mod.

Letoras · Post by **Letoras** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:42 am

Hello there!!
This is the first time i ever do this so please do not be very hard.
I have no clue about texturing, shading, normal maps, etc.

I downloaded most of the mods to find out textures, mix them up, putting some new and tried to give my sense of a cockpit i would like. Some things i could not change them so i tried to blend.
What i did actually is changing the three monitors actually and a little bit of the hud, lol!!!
Could not figure out anything about the rest (ship texture for example).

Also i optimized the images as low kb as i good.
I hope you like my pip cockpit.

image of the progress so far.

There are lots of things to fix, if it reminds you of fall out this was my basic idea, to make a cockpit like the pip boy.

I want to thank all the people who i took their mods, open them, tried them, trying to understand how this works and a big thank to the people behind this game.

download with fixes

Suggestions and blending more with this mod is more than welcome!!!!!

omnom.

the greenishnes and simplicity. thats very similar to what i had in mind for the perch. once i'm done modelling, we might have to talk.
would you be interested in some beta testing even? test my cockpit with your gauges? soon(tm)?

imo it needs some more contrast for the hud (pitch), although i'd rather let the pvpers have the last word here.
i'd try to transport the top bar and mdts thingies into the color scheme / style as well.

old school. love it.

Hello ijon!!! Ofcourse i am interested to blend our work together!!!!!! So as you please with the textures, send the the perch cockpit to play with it, let's maximize an old school cockpit!!!:D:D

Yes the hud is a bit shame i know, i am making a research for the hud.

Very, Very cool Letoras......

One of the cockpit mods (the same one re-modded with Trek consoles) uses blue-gray in the HUD instead of green. I find that the blue-gray works best ... it is easier to see when placed against just about any background (space, nebula or planet). Even better than the default color.

Letoras · Post by **Letoras** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:07 am

Hello!!!
I have found the time to make some fixes, especially for the hud.

At Marvin. Yes you are probably correct that the blue gray hud works best, the idea of this cockpit is to give a feeling of a low tech ship, something like the pip boy on fallout to make it more clear.
I hope we will come with a high tech cockpit after this.

p.s. i am uploading the fixes, will be a link at the first post asap.

Thank you very much and waiting for your feedback.

Excellent work Letoras.

I have a compass that I created that might fit your cockpit.

I can send it/upload it if you wanna try it.
Also a modded pitch ladder if you want. (Originally Marvins that I altered a bit)

Keep up the cool work.

Will do.

I'll upload them after work tonight and post the link here.

Letoras · Post by **Letoras** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 12:51 pm

I would be very thankfull if someone could give me the texture that is used for the ship, i tried but i do not have the skills so far.
I would like to experiment with the texture and especially with the monitors when they are closed.

Thank you very much if this is possible and for your time.

p.s. I do see the texture for the tractor beam, is it the same with the lazer beam??? I would like to try out some lazer effects.

checking, moding, uploading, i have made some changes allready, hope they fit well amigo!!!!!!

I compressed the images a little bit, i like the the compass, gives a little old style to it.
Made some changes with the hudtape, i gonna go fly a little bit with that.
link updated if someone is interested.

I think now what will give boost this will be some suitable sounds. I had errors so far with my experiments with the engines and stuff, i will try cockpit sounds to see if this will work.

thank you very much!!

SeeJay, that's the first compass "card" I've seen which I like better than my own (being the only other one with 10-degree tic marks on it ... except yours is fancier). Can you email it to me? Btw, does that pitch ladder have the 90-degree indicator (circle) on it?

The ladder that SeeJay gave me has a 90 degree indicator yes, i was getting confused and i removed it from this cockpit but he can help you.

p.s. the compass is amazing

They are all available on my mods section on the website Marvin.

Thank you King Arhtur!!!!!
Because i am not much of a modeler myself ( my only relationship with 3d is that i am an animator) i have limited knowledge to modify a cockpit so now i am working on allready made cockpits...(stay tuned).
As for maximillans cockpit it is so perfect i don't know if it is proper to put my hands on it!!!!! Everything is on amigooo!!!!!!

I'm no "Modder" Either. I Could NEVER Duplicate MAXs or VIPERS Skills. I'm Just Glad they make these COCKPITS and HUDS available to Us.

I Know NOTHING of 3D except Shading, Shadows and Bevels! lol.
