New Texture Packs

[Krytos]

Ok, as I mentioned a little while back, I've created some new textures for several of the models I created (so far the Ranger, Defender and Majestic version 1).

So the question is, how am I to package them? Re-upload the entire model with new textures? Add the three required textures in a zip file with a text file explaining what to do? Or something else (and if you suggest other, please post a reply with what "other" is )?

 

I'm not sure if a system has already been put in place for such a thing - so if that's the case those in the know please tell

Otherwise, I'll let the others descide on how it will go down.

 

Also, am I to assume the correct area to upload these new textures is to the RebEd/Model Editing/Texture? It sounds like the right area - though I dont really want to upload anything to the wrong place

I suggest just simply replace the old ones by the new ones by submitting a modification request on the model's detail page.

[Krytos]

I dont want to replace the old textures - just give users the options of choosing different looking textures for the same model.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but that will replace the old model in the upload page?

Only if you name it the same I would think.

what kind of texture packs are you thinking of putting in? Maybe having some red (for the rebs) or green (for the Imps) in the textures would be cool.

Sorry for the lack of progress on anything here - I've been busy all weekend with RL stuff, and my free time was diverted to Reloaded

 

what kind of texture packs are you thinking of putting in?

 

So far, they're a basic cosmetic change. For example, the current texture for the DSD has red linings on it. My new one uses blue, and far more decrative lining.

I was trying to picture the Obi-Wan (the first DSD to be contructed) when I created the new texture (which are untested as of yet).

 

For the Battledragon, I'm making it all a pale red - as that's what they're meant to be (helps to pay mroe attention )

 

Maybe having some red (for the rebs) or green (for the Imps) in the textures would be cool

 

Not exactly sure what you meant by this. Do you mean, using the DSD as an example again, to make an Imperial version of it?

[Mad78]

I like the textures. What program are you using?

 

I suggest reuploading the model but with several sets of textures.

Ta Madness, its made with Photoshop.

The only reason I didn't want to upload a second model (or more than one), is for a few reasons. Overloading the model section and confusing people due to their being multiple versions of each model.

So I figured since there's a texture sections I might as well use it. So far the vote's pretty even - so I'll wait a little longer to see how things go.

Most of the Ships in Rebellion are grey with some color on them. Thats boring. A ship with a base green color or a base red color with designs overtop of it would look cooler and add some variety.

[Defender_16]

You could release a brightly red textured ISD 2. Maybe add a couple of burn marks in places and you have the Errant Venture.

[Mad78]

Just what i was thinking off.

[Krytos]

Ah, I get it now. Did you have any models in mind. I'd do the Errant Venture, but I havn't modelled an ISD

I'm thinking of a blue and yellow (Mech Commander 2 style) Majestic at the moment

The Ranger I did was meant to be a solid, pale yellow/beige colour - though in Rebellion, it didn't really turn out

[Mad78]

The problem with Yellow Beige as i discovered is that they tend to look rather weird in Reb. I usually go for grey.
