Textureless model:

105 faces, 214 triangles, 113 vertecies. Too expensive?

 

Textured:

I'm having issues getting it into game though.

I dunno if it is a priority, but... howsabout some masks the AI could wear?

I could take a shot at it.

 

edit: I'm trying to get a good texture on the sickle model, but I'm still setting up everything for TDM, so it might be a bit.

I prefer the second option. Surprising, but the touch of pink makes it look more real.

 

Do please re-use existing TDM textures where possible by the way when you're making new things for the game. That helps with map load time. Existing textures can be retinted (the simple way, using an RGB filter) in the material file without needing to generate a new image.

There are a number of blades in the game already...one of them will hold probably work.

You can't make a concave collision mesh like that. Assuming you're planning on making this a movable entity, the cm would have to be a simple shape with a minimal number of faces.

 

As for not showing up, what is the error message in the console?

The model not showing up may be related to the issue spring mentioned above. TDM doesn't support concave collision meshes iirc.

It wasn't showing up without a collision model either, nor with the new one. The console doesn't print out an error that seems related to sickle in tdm or darkradiant.

 

I should note I'm using linux and created my own model path in the main darkmod and named it "models/darkmod/tools" instead of putting it in the pk4 packages.

The handle looks fine, but the blade seems quite thin in that shot, almost like a hook...did something change?

Go yo mask, based off ones like these:

masquerade-plastic-blank-half-mask-white

 

I'm gunna try to do a more detailed one next.

 

The one I posted is just a model. I couldn't figure out how to work the attachments.

You should split the edge along the inside of the hook. The dark shadows are smoothing errors, it's trying to smooth around the sharp edge.

Nice catch! It looks way better now that I broke up the blade into 3 parts. The rim, and the 2 sides.

 

Edit: I updated the mask by adding a collision box (i forgot!), also i had the tri count wrong. It's ~400.

Good looking mask! I like the universally simple design: in black it would be suitable for a robber, in various colors it would work for a masked party. Keep up the good work.

 

Just remember that it is supposed to be worn by an AI, so the size and shape should be as such that it fits on the face of a typical male and female character.

The sickle is looking much better, but I'd recommend a metal with less specular on it. It's very shiny for a farm tool and much shinier than your reference pics.

 

A specular along the sharp edge would be good, but the rest of the metal should have little or none.

Yeah, though I'm not sure if therse a one size-fits all for masks. For example the blank mask fits the noble female head, one of the male heads, but does not fit the noble man head. There also was a model who had a nose and it just cut straight through.

Like this?

I was looking for an intermediate between brand new polished and no shine, but couldn't find one.

 

 

 

Also I started on another mask. I was planning on doing a full face jester mask, though it's prob going to be around 1k tris.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
