Need help on a Privateer Desktop Theme

Thu Feb 26, 2004 7:11 pm by warzog

I've got a screenshot of the original Privateer 1, that I'm going to intercut with a screenshot from the new mod.

I could use a font, and a couple of cursors.

Can anyone do fonts, or cursors?
I'd like to have the font from Privateer 1.
And for cursors, I'd like have:
1) an animated repair bot (either Type 1 or Type 2) for "working."
2) an Orion or Galaxy firing as an alternate for "working."
3) a Centurion that fires when the mouse is clicked would be nice.
4) and/or simply a Centurion as the normal pointer.

Or does someone want to do the Desktop Theme, themselves?
I can provide sound effects, music, and voices.

Let me know.

Centurion is pretty easy, although I'm not much for animation. I don't have a repair bot model right now, but I AM making a Quine 4000 - if you want I could send the model to someone and they could do a little animation with that.

Well, if I had a model of the robot, or of the Quine4000 in OBJ format, I can animate it in Poser.
And if I had the ships in 3DS, OBJ, or LWO, I can do a really nice battle scene for the screen saver.
(Complete with sound effects!)

Thanx for the offer, Tolwyn, but I use Poser, and I'm quite proficient at doing animations.
Except for models of the Privateer 1 ships, I have access to all of the WC ships.

All of the ships on your website: http://wcmdf.solsector.net/meshes.htm
And there are a couple of other sites whose addresses are on cd's around here somewhere.
Poser can use OBJ, LWO, 3DS, and a couple of other formats I can't recall at the moment.
Once I load it in, I can do stills, frames for export, avi's, animated gif's, screensavers, etc.

I almost forgot...
I don't currently have Poser loaded in my new computer...
Mainly, because it takes several days to load the 597 models that I have, and they take around 3.87gb of hdd space.
I could load the basic program, and do a small animation of the Bearcat I've got laying around here somewhere, if you'd like to see what I can do.

I'd planned on working on the Desktop Theme after the next release of the MOD.
I started this thread in hopes of getting someone who knows how to do cursors, I don't.
