The Veteran Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Hey everybody, tis I. After long deliberation I've recently restarted work on the UFOpedias I started for UFO about nine years ago and for tftd about five years ago... They include everything from the games' UFOpedias and the floorplans of the UFOs, USOs. The UFO project being the first started is now almost finished, all of the floorplans being in my opinion perfect and all but the Alien Research sections of the UFOpedia also being complete. I'm working on the research section as we speak but the font I'm using doesn't respond well to XP! So I'm finishing up on the XCom pc upstairs. Not long though. If it isn't finished tonight it should be tomorrow. Then I'll get it hosted and linked as soon as possible. Anyway just to give you all something to look forward to! Be warned, it's all done in paint so the files are large. They're all engineered to print perfectly onto an A4 sheet per file. I'm only just picking up the TFTD program so that'll be a long while yet. Let me know if there's anything you guys want in that, and some endless praise would be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyfishGreen Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Geez Vet, get IRFANVIEW and make a few GIFs from those bitmaps. Oh well, at least bitmaps zip up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemuri Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Irfanview rocks. I'm not clear on what you're trying to accomplish Veteran. What's the project exactly? Converting the images from the game into a hardcopy (paper) reference? If you need assistance, I'll be glad to lend a hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I definitely need somewhere to host it Munkey so I may well take you up on that offer. It's going to be pretty big but I'll let you know it's final size when it's done. It can be zipped into a pretty tiny package...Kemuri, I started (years and years ago) to make simple maps of the XCom UFOs in MSPaint. I also for some reason decided to finish off by making a hardcopy of the UFOpedia. I did the same thing for TFTD when I got that in about 96. Then for a long time, nothing got done... Then someone asked about TFTD maps on the forums and I was spurred into action again So here I am and I'm just finishing the last section now.I had to work tonight so it may be another day or so (especially with my landrover outside :inlove: ) Still, it is complete so I hope it's worth you all waiting for.

Munkeylord Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 hehe, just give me an e-mail or pm on the specs of your project, i'll host it for you. thats no problem, though my e-mail will only allow a 1mb attachment, there is a way around that. but just keep that in the back of your head when you decide its ready.

The Veteran Posted May 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I'm done! It's thirty one pages of which twenty one are black and white with the last ten being the UFO floorplans... The whole collection is about 18meg but the zip file is amazingly only 955kb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
