"I know this is probably in here, but I really don't want to look."

The increase of people saying this sort of stuff is just downright disrespectful. We should not be tolerating this kind of lazy behaviour and poor ettiquette, lest it get worse.

#11054: New HellPig replacement character..

by deathguppie on 08/03/2008 20:25

Hey, I was playing single player the other day and was thinking about how outdated the Hellpig character was and so I decided to redo it in a more modern style just for fun.

Screen shot is here...
http://proviction.com/deathguppie/images/Hellpig2-screen1.jpg

So anyway in order to export my character and have it's animations work properly as a Hellpig replacement, does anyone know what the naming conventions are for the actions so that the game can use the character?

Also I didn't notice any character bump maps, but I know md5 supports it. Are character bump maps supported, and or are there any character shaders built in or otherwise that would handle diffuse/normal_map/specular_map??

Just wondering..

I can't answer your questions with much confidence (geartrooper?), but I can say that as a fellow artist, that's pretty ballin'. It'd probably be a bit more acceptable if there was an orange-ish skin closer to the original, but I personally like what you've got up a lot.

Any stats on that model (polycount, etc)?

#11058: HellPig2 stats

by deathguppie on 08/04/2008 00:19

Hey, thanks it was actually a fairly quick model. The Hellpig was easy because it is a fairly basic concept in the first place.

tentus: I thought about the orange thing but it I think characters are moving toward more realistic style skins.. plus I wanted to be able to use red for highlights. The poly count is 888 tris.

$killz: I sculpted a high poly, and mapped it to the low, so it really depends on how the shader deals with the normal map as to how good it looks. If Sauerbraten can use a spec map that would be better. I do have one. If it still looks like I need to mess with it when I export it to the game, I'll chop off any bad corners, and re-export it.

As soon as it look's acceptable I'll put it up for download. Probably within a day or two at the latest.

#11059: ps.

by deathguppie on 08/04/2008 02:10

Thanks for taking the time to answer me eihrul@work. I suppose I could have found that info but it is nice to know that it is current. As it turns out I didn't have the correct md5 exporter anyway.

If anyone wants to check it out for themselves I put up the idle-animation in a .blend file here..

You will need one of the apricot branch test builds of blender to see it properly. You can get them from http://www.graphicall.org

You, my friend, are also on the lackadaisical side of things by not being willing to help other people. Even if I am not willing to help my self, the posters that help me are helping other people by moving this information to the front. This giant 'question thread' seems to be a bane to this community, as all relevant information is quickly sucked back inside.

Note how every answer was a link to documentation of some sort. You just don't understand you waste people's time by being lazy.

#11062: ..

by JadeMatrix on 08/04/2008 07:16

I'm looking to replace my graphics card. I currently have:

ATI Radeon 9600:
Chipset Model: ATY,RV351
Bus: AGP
Slot: AGP
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

I'm thinking about an Nvida card, somewhere <$120, even if it's second-hand. Any suggestions as to a model?

#11063: finding the floor

by scanf on 08/04/2008 07:24

I'm having issues with my mod basically finding the floor.

I'm using the raycubepos function to try and find the floor under me. the distance does not look correct. Here's my code. 'x.o' is the position of my entity. Is there something else I should be doing?

vec down(0, 0, -1);
vec hit;
float dist = raycubepos(x.o, down, hit, 0, RAY_CLIPMAT|RAY_SKIPFIRST);

x.o = hit; // should be the floor ?

#11064: Unknown command: editmode

by Raw Toast on 08/04/2008 15:24

I've been editing on Suerbraten successfully for awhile now, but all of a sudden I just got on and whenever I press "e", I get the message "Unknown command: editmode". It KNOWS what I mean, but it won't do it! Why is editmode no longer recognizable?

#11065: Re: Unknown command: editmode

by tman_elite on 08/04/2008 16:21, refers to #11064

I'm pretty sure the command is "toggleedit" so "editmode" won't work. I'm not sure why your binding would randomly change though.

#11068: Re: finding the floor

by Quin on 08/05/2008 05:32, refers to #11063

Player position is floor position + eyeheight, so..

x.o = vec(hit).add(vec(0, 0, x.height));

reply to this message

#11069: Re: finding the floor

by Quin on 08/05/2008 05:33, refers to #11068

sorry, x.height is meant to be x.eyeheight, you should also probably use..

x.o = hit;
x.o.z += x.eyeheight;

.. as it would be faster, old habits die hard.

#11070: Re: New HellPig replacement character..

by SheeEttin on 08/05/2008 15:27, refers to #11054

I'd squish it along the green axis (whichever one that is, I'm no modeler), because the body looks streamlined, like an aquatic creature, but the legs are definitely built for running. (Speaking of which, you might want to add a little meat to the lower legs.)
I'd also tilt the tusks upward a little bit. They wouldn't be useful for much pointed downward.
Give it a slightly reddish tint, and it'll be perfect. :)

Oh, and have you ever played Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2? In those games, there's an enemy called the Sheegoth (no relation to me :P) or the Grenchler (they're different monsters, but the same concept). For a melee attack, they have this kind of thrashing, snapping motion they make. It might be a good fit to draw from that for the attack for this Hellpig.

Heh heh, now every time you post I'll imagine the baby sheegoth. Those were awesome monsters.
