Alien Tech

Lich

Water Chip? Been There, Done That
In one random encounter can be found creshed ufo and alien blaster. I tryed extend that idea in Bunker 21 mod. Now that bunker its most important area in BSM mod. Construction and plot will be improved. Bunker of some military organisation, they called Black Steel (similar to Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout 1) Like in F1 BOS they will search pre-war technology. But here they look for ALIEN technology. Some of them you will find inside bunker and rest buy in market, farmers or search ufo crash sites. I will made many new alien technology items, probably not only weapons but also some misc items with scripts.

Also:
Human tech beased upon alien concepts. Many new energy weapons build by research one sample found on crash site- its similar to UFO game. So soldiers dont use all artefacts found from aliens but made in workshops items build upon knowledge taken from them. Its more possible because in whole world will exist just five real items from aliens.

Here you can comment new items, they are mostly concepts- already not put into game. And write ideas about story, background of that organisation, quest, items and else.

(items gallery replaced to project site)
 
Hey man i like the idea, very good !!! Hey what about you pick some pictures from the Unreal 2 - The Awakening?

Say you make all this alone? whow very nice !!!

I mind to terminated the EPA, but this would take much time and i don't known if can do that. So say what about us make a team, call all of the modders here and start this mega projectly?

Thanks a lot !!!
 
Wow Thats alot of new models...

hmmm i kind of like the idea. Black steel working alien technologie but buying alien guns on a market is just plain wrong. (to put aside that alien weapons are just wrong already)

I dont think you should include all those guns though. there are to many here are the guns I really like(01) 02 03 07 08 09 15 16 18
 
Black Steel is open content, so you may.

Lich, have you looked at old X-Com graphics for inspiration?
 
Forgetting about the setting issues those look great. I mean really great. Shit, Lich, you have a lot of talent. Too bad you lack focus.
 
I like these: 2, 6, 7, 9, 10,, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. These ones you can put on that UFO encounter and on the EPA, on Navarro and Enclave. Hum i think the BOS would fit perfectly too.
 
Well, as far as setting... alien tech doesn't really fit in with the post-apoc, per se, but it does fit the 50's sci-fi aspect quite well. So for that I say full steam ahead.

As for the history of Black Steel... I'd wager they're somehow descended from Area 51.

The weapons look awesome. You are one seriously inspired individual, Lich.

And seriously? BSM is open content? I think I just had a modgasm.
 
I made new samples, look into first post from this topic (updated) Some new concepts about future guns (i think they are better than before)

Hey what about you pick some pictures from the Unreal 2 - The Awakening?

No i like invent something new, and they dont look so bad compare to stuff from other games.

Say you make all this alone?

Yes

Wow Thats alot of new models...

Surely i will not use them all. Am not sure which are best so i made many combinations, experiments. From all i will select fev most liked.

..but buying alien guns on a market is just plain wrong.

It was idea that some farmers could find them and sell, like In Roswell when one farmer found crashed thing on his field.

Hum.. what about if us put these itens on the EPA?
Click to expand...

If you wish- put them there.

And seriously? BSM is open content?
Click to expand...

Yes, you can take parts from BSM to other mods- just mention who is author. Simple download version BMP256, cut picture you like and convert to FRM.

have you looked at old X-Com graphics for inspiration?

I got all this game in my mind (i mean X-Com1 because else parts was not so good) but i made these guns by experiments and combinations.

As for the history of Black Steel... I'd wager they're somehow descended from Area 51.

Its myth that Area51 got full working UFO ships, but its too much and unreal. Black Steel will be huge underground base (with bunker entrance) They will have scients, enginers trying to do with some small broken stuff buy from farmers (taken from crash site) Mostly they will develop new tech based on materials and concepts from these artefacts. Also soldiers trained to use modern tech. As army they must have some enemy (maybe mutants? not sure about that)
 
Photoshop?
Hey, combaing the old stuff into new is great fun!
Do you draw or do you model in 3d?
You now it could help alot when making NEW NEW items/weapons/critters.

Still great work, great ideas. You sure show dedication in your work. BRAVO!
 
Update- samples #5
I got feeling that i made better and better (my favourite are olways last ones)

I used ONLY windows paint, simple program but quick in use.
 
Paint: Quicker than Photoshop in load times, less in RAM usage, simpler in interface, sufficient for frame-bitmap editing. I've done a fair bit of image editing in both Paint and PhotoshopCS2, and I've got to say that as far as Fallout items go, Paint is probably better.

Once more I would like to compliment Lich on the inspiration and talent evident in his work. Those guns are eye-gasmic.
 
What about aliasing and color blending? you'll never get those in paint.

Load time and RAM usage are irrelevant to this matter nowdays.

I just don't understand why torturing yourself with undos and paste froms when there is so much freedom in layer-working.

All I'm saying is this: If someone makes good pictures with Paint he could make GREAT ones with Photoshop. And why taking that kind of freedom from yourself?
Think about it: Is paint all you have to offer?

It's true, you don't. But sometimes you don't need them. Especially if you have skills like Lich does.

Unless you're running a junker! ;) No, I know they don't matter. I was just pointing out that Paint is technically quicker to load.

First: Undoing is for wussies. Real men start over from scratch. Kidding, of course. But layers don't free you from the need to undo and paste. And again, you don't always need layers.

Because that freedom costs 700 USD. Unless you're sugesting I break the law. :roll: Actually, I don't even know why I'm arguing about this. I use Photoshop much more often than Paint, myself. Maybe I'm a hypocrite. Regardless, Lich does a bang-up job with Paint, and I defend his right to do whatever he wants for BSM.

Yeah, but look at those hard-cutted edges of the guns. My eyes bleed every time i see them! Sometimes i wish to take them for a little ride in photoshop :twisted:

No s*it! 8)

Don't need layers? You place the part of a gun over another gun. Sure, you can do it w/o layers, but what are the layers for then?

No! Ofcourse not! I personaly use 30 days free trail... for last few years :twisted:

Yeah, I guess we got too much free time... :twisted:

Like i said good pictures - GREAT pictures.... but i agree that Lich got skills with paint.
 
Instead of Photoshop i use sometime PhotoFiltre, its very similar program and freeware. You can download it HERE

Anyway i made new samples (#6) Again my favourite are last ones. I got some new ideas like wire and plug (heavy battery in backpack connected by wire to weapon- i imagine that way energy weapons)

Note: some weapons may be too large and need resize before put to game (it may crash)

Oh, thanks. But actually, I've already broken the law.

And dvukomanovic, you win. The higher-end image editors are better, though I still do enjoy using Paint now and again.
 
i personaly like pain for printscreens :)
And No! I Did not win! i just wasted some of my free time... and yours "lawbreaker" :) :) :)
