Online UFOpaedia The sections that work are:HWPsAlien Life FormsAlien ResearchUFO ComponentsI still need to create a top banner image and an index page, which is why my link goes straight to the Sectoid page...

The Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 That's nice work Pumpy, if I do say so myself... Just don't you start making maps or you'll destroy all the work I did all those years ago... (Need a lost in thought smily) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Will this do? : https://www.angelfire.com/games3/jeffy90/images/smilies/thinking.gif Now THAT is a UFOpedia! https://www.angelfire.com/games3/jeffy90/images/smilies/oh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Just don't you start making maps or you'll destroy all the work I did all those years ago... (Need a lost in thought smily) Maps?!? Maps of what? I was thinking of putting the UFO floor-plans in the UFO section... but other than that...

Bomb Bloke Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Those are the maps he's on about. He went and posted pics of all UFO floorplans, for each level of the crafts. I saved the page in mht format, the file was over three megs or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 It was just under 1mb when it was zipped. I can't stand all these lazy sons of mothers who just take screen shots of the UFOs and call it a map... You just know it's taken about 12 seconds to do the whole game that way!

Pumpkinhead Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 I've just added a title banner to my pages... Albeit fairly lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Can I suggest ...? Add about ten or twenty pixels of space separating the top of the page and the top of the banner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 Y'know, I thought that very same thing myself... I'll get to it... Thanks for the comment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 I've just updated the UFOpaedia to include the "UFO" section now... You should check it out just to see the cool little UFO map viewer I included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Awww! It even has the original "up/down" buttons! https://members.dodo.com.au/~shoobs/xcom/abductor.htm The supply ship reminds me of something to post in another thread. I'll go do that. A note - you've quoted the official text about "Chrysalids vulnerable to explosive ammunition", but NKF-sensei has reckoned otherwise. Are you up for doing some research that could improve your version over the official text? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hoz Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yes it really is nice. The Battleship's map makes me think...if they had properphysics in UFO,Battleships could be collapsed with a singleshot...(awaiting correction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 A note - you've quoted the official text about "Chrysalids vulnerable to explosive ammunition", but NKF-sensei has reckoned otherwise. Are you up for doing some research that could improve your version over the official text?Yes, it is true... Chryssalids aren't vulnerable to anything in particluar, but instead take 80% fire damage and 90% stun... I'd feel a little sacrilegious changing the original text though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 That, my friend, is what footnotes are for! When you get to TFTD, you'll probably start tearing your hair out. (such as the one misplaced 'underwater' comment for the M.C disrupter, etc, when you can in fact use the silly thing anywhere) The Chryssalid's resistance to HE was so obvious once I was taking them out on superhuman with heavy cannons. They'd eat up 5 - 6 HE shells per chryssalid, but with the AP shells, they only needed half as many shots. Heck, even the laser pistols were chewing them up faster than the autocannon HE shells. Let's not forget mentioning how they can sometimes withstand direct attacks from high explosive packs. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 When you get to TFTD, you'll probably start tearing your hair out. I can assure you that I won't "get to TFTD"... I've never liked any of the sequels to UFO... I've said it many times before, but UFO, in my mind, is the original and the best ... Unless of course a worthy X-COM-based FPS comes out that is (but as we all know, this is a very slim chance of that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 This is on the way to becoming THE online UFOpaedia. Well done mate. Very swish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 It's taking a while to complete, but it will get there one day... I'm having dillemmas about the weapons pages because the pics for the weapons are so small that it makes the page look strange with this tiny little pic and then lots of text around it... I don't know... I'll figure something out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 dodo, dodo, internet that flies, $9.90 per month, connect yourself with dodo!*ahem*. aaanyway, nice work! just waiting for the info on elurium...interested in the footnotes you may put in, after all the debating we've had here...

JellyfishGreen Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Pumpkinhead, you may want to mess with a little program mentioned around here called HQ3X ( https://www.hiend3d.com/hq3x.html ) which is a filter for scaling up cartoony-type low pixel images and guessing at what is supposed to be a line, shading, etc. It works well on small XCOM bitmaps.

Pumpkinhead Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 I've completed yet another update... The X-COM Craft and Armament section is now complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Just had a look - cool"Interceptor" page not loading for mePS have you tried the hq3x program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinhead Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 PS have you tried the hq3x program?No, I haven't... I don't like downloading programs from the net... Too much viral risks involved if you know what I mean... I just decided to double the image size directly in HTML... It looks good enough to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
