Did someone say Star Trek?



I was making this for a MAGS game but never quite got around to it, so it's still unfinished.  I may revisit it and finish the background (mainly the captain's chair and some of the metal shading), since I invested a bit of time in it already.

Q:  WHERE IS THE CREW!?

A:  The crew has disappeared ominously while performing a routine scan of Hades VI.

Q:  OMG PROGZ, IS THAT A BIRD OF PREY!?

A: Yes.  Yes it is.

Q:  WILL THE CREW DIE!!!?!?101lolz

A:  Possibly.

Q:  WHAT ABOUT THE TWO MISSING CHAIRS!?

A:  I left the chairs out of the picture so you could see all the neat controls and blinking lights, of course. 


Enjoy, Trek fans!

Beam me up, Scotty.
I hope it is not the Entreprise , Kirk must live !

Everything that hasn't been posted / used in a game before counts. However, I haven't seen the movie, and i was wondering if the shipwreck is central to it? That was what I was going for, an adventure game background that would be central to the game, instead of one that connects two main areas.

Well, I don't know really, i watched it a long time ago, as far as i know this is the shipe the main character came to this planet, but the main point were Human Apes . I don't now, if you feel you can disqualify me, i won't be angry.

Also, i was drawing this background for my new game (nothing to do with PLanet of the Apes), thats why it is not tottaly the same, original will have green grass.

p.s. And the movie wasn't that great either  

Well if so, here is something from the Planet of the Apes, a crashed ship... i hope it counts..

Hee, I told you, you might win !

**Althou the Bush_monkey has the same ammount of votes as the winner, but he didn't finish the background completly, so you take a 2nd place.

Congratulations to all !

Now, lets start a new one. 

Glad to hear it .

So, any takes on my paint-over? Anyone? Sektor 13, would you consider any of the changes I did for an updated version of your pic?

Yes, i am already updating my picture, i have darken some "back" parts as you suggested (drawed) (i will not add the tree because i need place for "new game, load game..."signs on the left side, as the moving ship will be on the right side , althou the tree looks very good) You used some "dream" blur effect it all looks a bit dreamy which is good and i am considering it, I added some "bumps" to the field on the right, made a river less streight and darkened the cliff and falling water.

here it is, althou it is not final (i might darken some parts even more, like in Tomass picture).

WHAT? SOME OF THE EFFECTS? How 'bout ALL of the effects. 

It's a great game in general. I bow in the might of the allmighty Sektor

hihi thanks, but too much bowing might hurt your back

Well thanks too you all ! I will try to put even more effort in my next game.

Well, i guess the deadline should be at the end of 2.3. , as i think that people would already show their work if they wanted , so the VOTING is OPEN..

Hehe, nice, thaks for proves.
Well maybe he just wanted to say that he finished the game really soon, not acttualy 15 min. hmm i don't know.

15 minutes !? Really ? Did you played it for the first time !?

I don't know about the Stargate Adventure 2, maybe in a distant future.

ok, i think it is time for VOTING !
---------------------------------------

Actually I wanted to add moving space ship on that flat part, hovering above the field...

I will try to modified it a bit...

Yes exactly.

I never pictured this like lo_res_man did, but now if i look closer, maybe it is a bit unobvious... hmm
But i think if you resize the picture (two or three times)it is easier to see the "real" one.

It took me about 6-7 hours to make it, like almost any background these days.


Well this is not a tutorial, it is kind a emmm, i don't know , you won't see how each brush stroke was made and what exactly was use, so sorry, i don't know if this will be of any help at all... but see for yourself

->BTW if link doesn't work yet, it is still uploading to the server so be patient.

->BTW 2 the river will be moving in the game, maybe even a nearby grass

Here it is my latest background of nature and redish sun, possibly background for menu :S

So: ?



I am not completly satisfied with the picture, but i think it is still good enough. MAybe bushes needs some more work !?

By the way, i have 35 pictures - > from the begining to the final picture, it crudly show how it was done if anybody is interested, i will upload it in ZIP file !??

Well the source is pretty big, it would be best if you send me the TXT and i will transform it to TRA and send it back to <ou.

As far as I know, you cannot make TRA file if you don't have the source...

By the way, you must put translated lines below the original line, you must not overwrite original speech.

Thanks for answering so quickly   My problem in my first playthrough was that it allowed me to tie the rope to the piller and pull twice without using the metal rod.  But then the piller was already shown in two pieces, and I couldn't break it!  I couldn't pull it again either.

On my second playthrough I used the rod on the piller first and it worked fine.

Now for another nitpick list:
- When you're beamed aboard the Asgard ship, for a little bit you have cursor control.  If you hover over the Asgard it says he's Thor.  Oops.
- Putting a MALP on the Volcano Planet didn't make any sense to me, since it doesn't seem to have a purpose anyways (does it?).
- The game ends sorta abruptly.  Which is a shame... it was just starting to get real good.

My overall assessment of this game is that the music and graphics are excellent, and the only thing that could use some polishing is the already frequently-mentioned English translation, as well as a couple of plot holes.

I'm considering going through the translation myself and fixing it up, not with just spelling and grammar glitches but also make the characters' dialog match their personalities slightly more (ie Teal'C tends to not use contractions, so I'd expand all of those), as well as fix up some of the plot holes as best I can.  IE the aforementioned Carter thing and a couple other things.

If it ends up looking good I'll post it here.

[Edit: nm, the TRA files aren't text and I'm too lazy to install/mess around with AGS. :/]

Well, i have translation file, if you are interested, here is the DL link:

p.s. this is from original  "bad" grammar

Hi Sektor13, how can I create new translation file (Czech) for Stargate Advanture?? Where I can download default TXT file with strings???

Here is the translation file:

Sektor did you saw  THIS ?

Hey, thanks, but i already know about it, they did it when the version 1.21 came out.
Actually the primary download link in the games section is from this page.

Hehe, I hope to release it in 2006 . If not, i will help you kick the hell out of myself .
