New planets for SEIV!

[Renegade 13]

So, can you guess what each of these planets are?!? I'd really like opinions on what you think of them, and things I could do to improve them. Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Atrocities]

Nice. Very nice. PSP with the Lunar add on??

[Renegade 13]

Thanks Atrocities! Yep, Photoshop with the LunarCell plug-in. just downloaded it today and felt like making myself a few planets for SEIV. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Can anyone guess that atmospheres and rock, ice or gas?

[NarfsCompIsBack]

Rock - Oxygen on the far right!

[CovertJaguar]

Nice

1: Methane/Rock
2: Oxygen/Ice
3: CO2/Rock
4: Hydrogen/Gas?
5: Oxygen/Rock

[Fyron]

4 looks like a rock planet, due to the earth-like cloud cover.

Very close.

#2 is actually supposed to be an oxygen/Gas, but I admit it does look a lot more like an Oxy/Ice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif LunarCell just can't do Gas planets.
#4 was intended to be a Hydrogen/Ice

EDIT: For #2, I tried to use some (relatively) horizontal cloud bands to simulate the cloud bands in a Gas Giant, but as you can see it didn't work too well

Fyron: Yeah, maybe #4 does look more like a rock. I should have gotten rid of the cloud cover for an ice planet. Actually, now that I think about it, why can't an ice planet have cloud cover?

Here's the rest I've done so far:

Hey Renegade 13, rather than having to edit your posts to add your pics try ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/index3.php). It might be a little bit easier on you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Renegade 13]

Thanks a lot Nodachi, that should help immensely. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Nodachi]

It's the one I use. You don't have to register but if you do you can keep track of everything you upload.

[Kamog]

Those are great-looking new planets! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

How do you put more than one picture in your post? It seems to only allow one image uploaded per post?

[Ragnarok-X]

Gotte agree. Pretty good images, they will fit the imagemod perfectly ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

With great difficulty and a lot of time! I'll list the steps:

1. Upload one picture (make sure it's in a supported format, like PNG)
2. Open the attachment, copy the web address.
3. Edit your post, insert the web address between image tags ***web address*** . Once you've done that, select the "want to edit attachments" option. Then click "continue"
4. In the new screen, find another picture that you want to upload, and upload it. Then repeat steps 1-4 as many times as needed.

It does allow only one image uploaded per post, but by editing multiple times, you can work around this and upload as many as you want.

I hope the above steps are clear enough. If it's not clear, tell me and I'll try to clarify http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

By the way, more pics coming this afternoon (if I have time to make them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )

[Atrocities]

Please keep em coming, we can always use more planets in the game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Seriously the more the better. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Renegade 13]

Your wish is my command. More images for your viewing pleasure (I hope!) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif I admit, some need work. I don't like them all and will probably end up re-doing a few of them.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Exact middle, Ice-None. Below it, Rock-None. Bottom-right, Oxygen-Rock. Above that, Oxygen-Ice.

Well, I can do the easy ones. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Yef]

Some of them are too dark. Can it be made with that black and white color, but with the brightness of the other planets?

I agree, a couple are too dark. I assume you're talking about the Rock/None, Ice/None, and possible the Rock/CO2?? I'll work on them this afternoon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

If anyone has any criticisms, please let me know what they are. I'll do what I can to address them. Below I'll say what all the planets are "supposed" to be. By the way, they're all "large" planets.

Narf, you got 'em! Well, some of them... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/stupid.gif

Ok, left to right, top to bottom:

Gas/Carbon Dioxide, Gas/Hydrogen, Gas/Methane, Gas/Oxygen, Ice/Carbon Dioxide, Ice/Hydrogen, Ice/Methane, Ice/None, Ice/Oxygen, Rock/Carbon Dioxide, Rock Hydrogen, Rock/Methane, Rock/None, Rock Oxygen.

The ones I don't like are any of the gas ones, except maybe the Oxygen or Hydrogen ones, the Rock/Methane, and as Yef pointed out, a couple are too dark. My favorites so far are the rock/oxygen, ice/hydrogen and rock/carbon dioxide.

Here's some medium planets:

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Oxy-Rock, None-Rock, Methane-Gas, Hydrogen-Rock, Carbon-Rock, Oxy-Ice, None-Ice, Methane-Ice, Hydrogen-Ice, Carbon-Ice, Oxy-Gas, Methane-Gas, Hydrogen-Gas, Carbon-Gas.

At a guess.

[Renegade 13]

Absolutely correct, except for the first Methane/Gas. It's supposed to be a Methane/Rock

[Atrocities]

Your hitting the wall arn't you? That is why I gave up on the Luna plug in. It simply was to difficult to vary the planets.

You could make one type of planet, change the clouds a bit and then recolor it outside of luna using PSP or other.

Yep, it's a great plug-in for PSP, but it has its limitations. I'll probably stop once I've created the small and tiny planets. Thankfully, no gas! LunarCell doesn't do gas planets well at all.... Oh well, they may start to be looking similar, but I'll have a little more variation in the planets for my next game of SEIV! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
