makkE has made some new item models.

http://www.quadropolis.us/node/298

They kinda fit sauers gameplay style better, but the dcp models are nice too, as they have individual style.

Please reply to this thread only once, and answering only with a number 1, 2 or 3:

What models do you think look best for sauer?

1. makkE's new models
2. dcp's current models
3. metlslime's original models for Cube

it is theoretically possible to use the ammo models from one set and the health from another... if that is the case reply for example like this:

ammo 1 health 2

Don't have time to test out the models completely - personally, I kind of like the current models, but those ones do look much more stylish if less specific. The big model I want replaced in the current Sauer set is the underwhelming Megahealth - such an important item should be more impressive.

1, easily

As much as I like dcp's work I always thought they lacked the raw functionality of the originals.

I figured the healthboost still needed something:

The file on quad has been updated with it.

ONE!
ONEONEONEONEONEONEONE!!1!!11!

dcp's models are starting to look aged compared to the nicer graphics coming into Sauerbraten, especially along side the bumpmaps, they look rudiculous (as does water..)

If you keep dcp's models I'll just use the new ones anyway so gnaa :)


I had to think about the heath though.. but after thinking about it I had to agree that the new heath models suit the newer ammo ones as well.


This is a step in the right direction :)
Good job makkE

1)... 3) were nice but 1 is an improved version of the classic ones, and i've never really got used to 2).

also one thing thats always bothered me in sauer that always wasn't in cube.. rockets and bullets being able to hit models... in cube if you shot some ammo you would hit the ammo, not the geometry behind it.

Also, maybe we could get projectiles to be teleported when hey collide with a teleport?

"Also, maybe we could get projectiles to be teleported when hey collide with a teleport?"

Ick, I would think that would require alot of work, its more complex than teleporting a player. And unfortunately its more of a novelty (can't see it adding to the gameplay or anything.)

I think we have a large majority for 1 - they will be added for the next release.

I have seen some people doubt about the new health models, they are nice and iconic like the original ones, but not very refined. I think the change makkE made is a good improvement, but maybe you can do more in that theme, i.e. do metal bolts/rim also along the circle? Could you do something similar (but more subtle) for the normal health?

put tiny bits of rust on here and there? anything to make the texture help the model look more well defined, and emphasize its geometry.
