Dr. Mackeroth's development log

Alright,
here are my textures so far:




Terrain sheet. So far I've done stone, all the ores, dirt, grass, and snow,
Glowstone, cobblestone, bedrock glass (I think I'll change it though), some
iron block thing which has replaced the sponge (from the Steam Punk texture
pack) Netherrack, and Soulsand (albeit badly). I had done TNT and pistons, but
removed them, because they looked to... Unrealistic.

These are the power lines (to transmit power from a generator to a device):




These are (the so far determined) ore blocks, and solid ore blocks. I think that
for some ores, a refined version (refined ingot, that is) and refined solid
ore block. From left to right (the solid block corresponds to the ore block):
Naquadah, Naquadria, Adamantine, Uranium, and finally, Neodymium.







I think the picture says it all. This is a combat exo-suit, for use in anaerobic
environments or in a difficult combat situation. It was originally a skin,
which is why it isn't thicker like other armour.

I have most of Fenway's stuff that he posted (which I think is in his log) so if you need them and can't find em let me know.

P.S. if you need assistance with programming, just holler!

Thanks, will do!

Alright, everyone, let me know what you think, and any ideas you may have.

I'm ninja'n that suit skin tonight, I wanna see what it looks like

I also like the ores and the power wire. As for the main texture pack, I like what you did to the class pane, the metal edge is a nice touch, and the metal looking panel on the right of it, well that just looks slick imo. So far so good!

Very good keep up the good work.

Thanks guys, I will!

I just wanted to share some ideas for Adamantine, Uranium, and Neodymium

1. Adamantine has a refined form of Adamantion (add-a-man-tee-on) which increases a ship's health by 50-100 health per block but requires extreme amounts of energy/fuel to create

2. Uranium should have a green or orangey tint to it and should respond to contact like redstone ore

3. Not sure if it's just me but Neodymium feels like it's a sort of crystalline metal. an opaque dark color but with a creamy sort of hugh kind of like those polished stones you see in gift shops near tourist attractions

Just let me know what you think.

thanks,
EDEN

Would you mind putting a link of some sort to the armor/space suit, I like it, and I have a growing vault of various skins, including, but not limited to, owl skins.

Seeing as I'm bored, I'm going to do some various parts for
guns. I will write what the parts are called and all their stats after I’ve
done the texture for them. Guns will comprise of the following parts:

Barrel
Body
Ammo holder/intake
Stock
Extra features (goes on top of the barrel, things like a scope, bayonet,
etc.)(Optional)

Different parts will allow connections to specific other parts, allowing for
many variations that work, and many that don't.

Good to know people still use ballistics in the future.

Great work!

Yes, well not all of the options will be balistic in nature.

What about stuff for lasers and plasma guns?

What did I just say about not all weapons being balistic?

Does this mean I can make several different gun parts and make a patchwork gun (or with parts of a similar class) or just a bunch of pieces for very specific weapons?

No, it will be a mix-and-match sort of gun. You can stick the super-extenda-barrel on the machine-a-maboby-intake and attach a handle-of-awesomeness to it and you're done. This allows for many thousands of combinations.

Does anyone find it interesting that even Eryo's texture log has more replies than mine? Is because you are all afraid of me, about going off topic?

Are you...are you jealous because your thread hasn't derailed like everyone else's?

Its because people don't want to play with death.

Well, I played Death in chess and won. DERAILMENT DERAILMENT DERAILMENT!








Either I'm stupid or brave. Probably just stupid.

ShivEdit: Just Stupid.

I agree with Shiva. You are fool-hardy.

wait, mackeroth, are you using MSpaint?

if you are I find this to be much better

EDIT:This doesn't count as off topic, does it? D:

Keep up the good work. I paticurly liked the Redstone Ore.

Never even heard of that program. I'm using Photoshop. It's an older version though, CS3...

Good news everyone (it is good news, no arguing). I have
registered with Maya and am downloading it as we speak! (Or I speak, and most
of you sleep...)

Either way, I should be able to start some 3D modelling this weekend. Stress
start, it looks about as daunting as Java to learn, but successful and curved
graphics is something I always wanted in Futurecraft, as in the future, blocks are
for the primitives!

Not calling everyone else primitive of course....

I think the first thing I'll do is see if I can create a Minecraft Steve character,
maybe with some decent knees, elbows, fingers, feet, hands, face, and... hair?

Also, I drew up a battle-armour concept when I had a whole hour spare during
school today (because I am just so cool, I did half the work in advance). I
didn't finish the drawing though, but it gave me the interesting idea for arms
and legs: rather than have metal plates and the such, perhaps we could have
"muscle fibre" like parts. Just a thought.
