Hope everyone had a good christmas holiday break...I know I did Anyway, back at my desk so might dabble in this when I'm not being distracted by Mass Effect and NBA 2K10

Imperials and the Republic are my favourites. Venator fleets are pretty cool along with the ARC-170s.

Nice stuff...my first ever Star Wars mod work being released

Have just noticed (when I've run out of time this weekend ) that the HUD images for a lot of the PLANETMODULE items (ie. Gauss cannon, Golan III station, etc.) all use the Alliance HUD image. I assume this is because the same planet module item was copied into each of the other three factions to ensure the info is the same. That being said, if someone could update the entity files appropriately with the suffix of _IMPERIAL, _CIS and _REPUBLIC then that'll fix the HUD images. The other option we have is to make the HUD images "generic" in that there isn't any background faction logo? Thoughts?

So, checked in is the new race logos and hud images for all four factions. The only unit that currently does not have a HUD image is the Y-wing because that it still looks like it is using the B-wing mesh. Cheers, OzWolf

All good and checked in at revision 316.

Looks like something has gone wrong as Sins now stops responding with my checkin. Trying to track the issue

Ok, I've committed my stuff...was pretty careful, so hopefully didn't undo any changes others had done when conflicts occurred.

I was going to have a look at the empire tree icons this weekend. In another city all week this week for work (which I am every second week), but will see what I can come up with on the weekend for you. I will commit my changes Friday night (Aus time) which should be stupidly early Friday morning (US time) if that's cool.

Yeah, the alpha channel is always fun, particularly when you're trying to do the small faction icons that are only 14x14 and the resizing has "dithered" the edges. That being said, I was thinking I might make a couple more logo files. One with just criminal organisation logos in it that the NPC "factions" can use (ie. pirates and the NPC defenders of unclaimed planets).

Hey guys, More graphics questions (while I'm on a roll ). Are we happy with using the Tech UI or is there designs/plans to have faction-specific UI's? If so, I might try and come up with some concepts if no-one else has tried so far.

So, I was playing the game and thought "I want my star destroyers toting the seal of the Galactic Empire" so I set about creating an SOGE logos set. There are 14 logos I've included in the pack so far. These include (in order from left-to-right on the second sample below): - Rebel Alliance - Galactic Empire - New Jedi Order - Black Sun - New Republic - CIS - Old Republic - Galactic Federation of Free Planets - Jedi Order - Chiss - Sith Empire - Naboo - Mandalorians - Zaan Consortium Here are screenshots of the end result: http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/logos_sample1.png Player setup screen http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/logos_sample2.png Choosing your theme http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/logos_sample3.png The bottom bar when no unit is selected http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/logos_sample4.png A ship carrying the logo of the Empire http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/logos_sample5.png Unit info bar on the top left for my planet http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/logos_sample6.png The bounty bar showing the Rebel Alliance and Republic logos

And samples for the Republic and CIS. I am missing a couple of vessels for each (same research problem as the Alliance). Will get them as the research issues are sorted. http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/republic_sample.png http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/cis_sample.png

So, how do you guys want me contributing this artwork? By just posting Zip files or can I get an account through SVN (which ironically is our work versioning platform) and check in the changes as I make them? At least that way I won't have to keep editing the entity files if a major change keeps happening.

There we go. All working in the zip for the Imperials. Tried to revert to an older version for the Rebs but got CTD too many times so I'll fix the remainder of the Rebels when their research works. Tomorrow I'll do the Republic and CIS.

The site of an Imperial Star Destroyer fleet coming out of hyperspace is a wonderful site. Though I do like building a Katana fleet occassionally for a bit of fun

I'll have a shot at the original textures tonight.

Ok, first off the production line: Imps and Alliance. Alliance is missing the following because I can't generate them (or wrong textures) due to research issues: - A-wing (can't unlock them) - Y-wing (Y-wing has B-wing mesh) - Independence - Mon Remonda - CC-7700 - Assault Frigate Mk II - Liberator Cruiser Also, at the moment, the factions share the same trade, refinery and worker ships. I have the images prepped, but obviously need new entity entries for each faction. Anyway, samples and ZIP file below: http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/imperials_sample.png http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/rebels_sample.png -->> Zip File <<--

Checked out. Will work at getting the HUD graphics integrated.

Hey guys...been working on HUD images but suddenly realise I'm a bit behind So was wondering how I can get access to the 0.95 BETA so I can make sure my work still...well...works

I'm feeling really bad now...I promised a release a month ago and delivered nothing Granted I haven't even fired up the game for entertainment either. The fun of being lead developer on a multi-million dollar trading engine project that is being built from scratch. Gonna see what I can do...I haven't abandoned the project

God I hate working for a newly merged investment and superannuation company some times. Since posting 3 weeks ago that I was working on the Rebellion, I have spent all of 1 day at home So these have suffered a small setback. I have got this week at home so I want to spend some time getting things going again. Sorry about all this :S

Hey, just to let you know I've been slowly working my way through the Rebellion and hope to have a hud-set ready by the end of the weekend. I'll also provide appropriate ZIPs for both the Empire and Rebellion and people can try them out in-game. Cheers, OzWolf

A bit behind schedule, but here we go (got to love work production releases for ruining your own leisure activities ) Option 1 http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/imperial_ships.png Option 2 http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/imperial_ships2.png Option 3 http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/imperial_ships3.png Option 4 http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/imperial_ships4.png Option 5 http://users.on.net/~ozwolf/soge/imperial_ships5.png I like Option 2 or Option 4. Option 2 doesn't look fantastic here but does look quite good in-game.

Tonight I will post a bunch of examples. I think I've found a favourite that looks good in-game, but looks a bit busy as a group like I've show so far.
