Fraxy fanship

blackrider123 · Post by **blackrider123** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 8:08 pm

this is just a fanship of one of the ships in the game Fraxy

can someone tell me how to put weapons under parts to create a nicer image and can someone also tell me how to make the core glow?

You would be better off just changing the weapon sprites to the fraxy weapon since its the same size and double barreled.
Potential fraxy auto cannons: 93, 98, 101, 102,
Potential fraxy beamers: 95, 99, 100, 108
Potential fraxy machine guns: 103?
For the thrusters, mount them to a small section under the 'engine' section, then click on the thruster and press W. There are several ways to make the core glow, look around and experiment.

It has a nice general flow to the shape but i disagree with those weapons. A suggestion might be to use a custom fraxy turret or fraxy gun.

I improved the core a bit and added some nice doodads. The weapons are now hidden and they will appear to be firing from the fraxy parts:)
i also posted a download...

*sry for double posting mods, i feel that this shiip should have its ownpost as it is a new update.

I just built this just now and this ship is EXACTLY similar to the fanship, every part in the EXACT position.

if anyone thinks i should add doodads, tell me, and feel free to comment:)

Big improvement on your first ship, and I like where your going with the second one...If its a fan ship, can we see a reference picture? I've never played it...

no pics for that ship. I made this new ship based on a fraxy boss 'Vuilture's Nest'. i was so anxious to take a pic of it that i didnt save the file. I also included the ref. pic...

pls comment

Your station has a fair space for improvement but as it is it looks generally nice. For improvement f you connected all the parts so no floatys, it would look a hell lot better. Though if you want floatys could you atleast put some doosparks tp make it look like a energy field or somthing

is holding it together. Also on the station sections you just basically repeated the same pattern 8 times over it could really use som variety.

um i was just remaking the station of BSF you see.

Its great that you remade it with such accuracy, but that doesn't mean you can't improve it. Adding other levels above or below that rotate counter to the existing one would give it a sense of connection, although I actually like homer's energy idea better. You really did a great job on it otherwise though!

The way you said something earlier...When you changed the weapons to look fraxyish, did you just put a fraxy sprite over the actual weapon and hide it, or edit the weapon to use the fraxy sprite instead of it's default? Just curious cuz the latter is alot less work.

i changed the weapon alpha to 0, so there are actually 8 M Beams

Any reason the boss originally lacks the top spike?

blackrider123 · Post by **blackrider123** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 7:49 pm

It is supposedly mobile with the spike-less side as the front. Im going to built something called the Scarab

Wyrdysm Games

Fraxy fanship

Should i continue improving and making more fanships?
