Planet Animations
Moderator: thunderchero
Very nice work, looks fantastic. I made a ton of new planet animations a while back for use in the various Botf2 projects. One day I planned to strip the frames for conversion and replace some of the planet graphics in a mod, as you have.
Check em out if you like, see what you think of mine. (I could probably do better nowadays)

yes those are very nice, i especially like the Arctic one... and yes it seems the Earth animation is... kind of fluorescent looking? lol... anyway they are all very good... i looked at your borg ones too and i thought maybe i could use one of them, but i have someone working on a texture for me already so no worries
ok update 2
two versions of the texture here
have darkened the seas and greyed down the land, added more strips into the sea areas, looks a tad dark to me, can easily fix for a lighter version:-

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by

They all look fantastic so far! However there is one thing missing I think. Atmospheres.
If you could add a soft halo of atmosphere to each planet then that would be the cherry on the cake so to speak.
Something akin to this, which is a sample line up of the planet types I had in preparation for Supremacy:
Yes Tethys I know what you mean regarding my 'earth' animation. It is a bit ropey, and quite a while back now I planned on redoing a few of them, but never got round to it as Mike (mstrobel) chose to use a different set of planets for the Supremacy project.

I was contemplating whether or not to include atmospheres, and finally decided against them since that would make the overall animation larger (pixelwise) and would also take away from the detail that I am trying to portray with the new planets, and thank you for your input.
Plus Ive already made almost all the textures and it would take another 2 weeks or 6-7 hour days to redo them correctly...
BTW where can I get the latest version of BotF 2? I was looking over the site there and I found some interesting things I was just wondering if it was playable yet and had a working combat engine? And is this different then Supremacy?
Thanks,

Good questions, I tried both about a year or more ago. One wasn't actually playable yet, the other was but they hadn't released a Trek mod for it. Don't remember which was which.Tethys wrote: BTW where can I get the latest version of BotF 2?

My question, has the Trek mod been released yet???? Will it ever be?
EDIT: Never mind got the answer myself from http://star-trek-games.com/index.php?op ... Itemid=108
In other words we will never get a Trek mod.Hope that solves all question that might arise about the trek mod and when it will become available for download: The moment we get a green light from CBS Paramount .
