It's a forum with an off-topic section and a thriving community (even if the community is mostly made up of members that hold most of their conversations in private forums - it's thriving behind the scenes!). These things will happen.

Cool Tool To Generate Normal Maps/height Maps From Photos...

It may be a closed beta, but he had posted the link on the polycount.com forums which are public, and did not restrict who could download it. I'm trying to find the links to the forum's topic, but I can't find his thread. It had some cool screenshots. EDIT: Found it http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?C...an=0&page=0 Some screens: Here's a quote from one of his posts: -
Heya Orbweaver, Might have another hand for you. Dark Mod <darkmod_apply@hotmail.com> wrote: Hi parsonsbear, I received your email about wanting to help. What type of programming background do you have? Just need some details so I can create an application thread for you. If you're interested, there might be some programming for you to do on the main mod...but if Dark Radiant is your true interest, we can certainly use the help there as well. I can't find your username on our forums. Which forum are you registered on as parsonsbear? Thanks. N.H.

Actually it's pretty easy to get things to spin, it's just one line in the projectile def to give it a launch angular velocity. As for special mapper-placed tags for everthing to take cover behind, we usually try to avoid solutions that make the mapper place tags everywhere for things, when possible. If we did that for everything, the mapper would spend all their mapping time placing special-case objects. Also, the AI should be able to know that they can take cover by going around a corner if the player is on the other side, but it would get pretty tedious to tag every corner in the map.
-
I was wondering about the "rudimentary 'take cover' behaviour" will it be anything like the behaviour in fear? cause what they did in fear is giving the items in the 3dworld id-tags so that the AI knew what to do if there was any object in the neighbourhood to take cover with. This also reduced the need for raw CPU processing power. If you could implement something like that then you could focus on the animations of the characters instead of writing something like this behaviour completely anew. greetz p.s. i dont know anything from coding but webbased coding, so it is rude to asume it will be easy to implement into the dark mod and you probably have your priorities somewhere else p.s.s. the update is looking good

greebo - if you need some grave models for your map, you might want to use one of the models I have made recently. They should be on CVS by the end of this year. Take a look at this thread to see what's in the set so far: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?s=&am...ost&p=91243

I didn't see anything on the forums about the compass designs so I made a poll.

Yes, 7000 is a little high. That's actually significantly higher than our most complex AI models. There is a smoothing feature that will allow you to simulate roundness, but I'll let people who know more about modelling help you with that one. Now that you have access to the modelling forums, you might want to take a look at our online model webpage, where we keep track of our completed models. It needs to be updated at the moment, but it will give you plenty of examples of the style of models we're making. http://www.tjoff.com/jens/darkmod/gallery/

don't pay too much attention to the stupid title i invented.. i'm tired, it's late here..! (02:35 a.m. - Rome, Italy) ooh! finally i can enter the real forums hah ah... Let's get to work! First problem.. the oil lamp model i did has too many polygons, i tried to reduce as much as i could their number and to delete some parts but it still remains a model of 7000 polys.. (it was of 42000 polys before..) anyone know some tip to reduce sensibly the number of polys? The general problem we should talk about is the modeling of round objects. A round object, as anyone knows here, in computer graphics appears round but is made of thousands of straight segments. So my general question is: how can i build round models without using thousands polys? which are the techniques to do this? I want to avoid what happened with the round stool model... it's named "round" but it has 7 VISIBLE sides. Are there techniques to make a segmented model appear round?? Changing subject, i started learning Dromed! it's great! i liked very much, it's so easy to use! i think i'll make a thief2 FM in a near future.

You can beta map if you wish. We just don't have any plans to focus on any official maps at the moment. This discussion should actually be inside our private forums, I'll move it.

I haven't had time to try the new ones--I should be able to tonight. edit: just tested them. They work and look great! You should be seeing more forums shortly.

Hey people, I am checking the darkmod page for news on your progress very frequently and you're doing some great work!! But I was wondering whether you could post a public ToDo list here in the forums, so that interested fans can see more often what is going on... If you want to keep some things secret, it's still understandable though... cheers, STiFU EDIT: To give you an idea what I mean here: A normal checklist that shows what you have implemented already, what you are working on right now and what has to be implemented in the near future.

Of course! The more beta mappers the better. You can send New Horizon a PM instead of using email if you like. Welcome to the forums, it's always nice to see some Dromed people around!

Maybe I'm just drawing a blank; maybe this is impossible. Do we have any of oDDity's original character models or templates or basic bodies or anything I can open and play around with in Blender? Thus it could be either ASE or LWO. I know they are md5anims, but is there a converter, or any other possible method, if in fact we don't have the originals? I checked the doom3world Blender forums, and while there is apparently an md5 importer, it doesn't work for md5anims. If none of this is possible (which I'm doubting, because somehow all of this character work going on recently wouldn't be possible... I think?), then to Dram: how did you make the little bust statues in the mansion out of a character?

I'm not too keen on the leaning animation oDD did but & I already have those anyway. Remember I did those animations on TDS & they are quite easy to do. Here's a reminder: The animation hacks done for the player seem to be producing some bugs. I'm certain that having proper animations will resolve these issues:Creeping only plays half of the walking animation: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=4461 The leaning bug: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=2716 And (low priority) having the thief walk while swimming: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=4460 I did try to get our thief ingame with the current animations but it's not cutting it. The side effects would include: Having the walking animations stop so he starts sliding around Crouching doesn't work Animations in general get stuck I think having new animations is a higher priority than what people think.

Some forums (like Cgtalk) partially solved it by having the first post from new users verify by mods before actually showin it in the forums.

Some people obviously have a massive list of thousands of forums which they visit one by one, joining and then posting their little spamlet. Doesn't sound like much of an existence.
