Bikerdude Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 @noss, the more the merrier dude! having lots of pre-made models is always much faster than having to make patch-based func_static prefabs etc which Melan will attest to.

ERH+ Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 It is a nice Roman portal, but we need in first place multi purpose, common models. Too recognisable models can't be copied among one map. Do we have a list of "must do" objects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pusianka is the one deserving the credits. It is a nice Roman portal, but we need in first place multi purpose, common models. Too recognisable models can't be copied among one map. Do we have a list of "must do" objects?http://forums.thedar...ls-needed-list/This one's a bit better:http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Model_WishlistEssentially they're the same but I updated the wiki one by removing some of the things that have already got made and removed some non-working links. Keep in mind that it is still a very outdated list so do check if the models already been made if you decide to make something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPGista Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Pusianka, I really like the idea of having more interesting architecture details as models, and the arch looks good, "reminds" you of a historical facade arch without really being specific about which style. As far as shape though, I must say that the relation between arch volume and opening seems to be too drastic - the outer and inner rings are too wide, and the total width of the arch shape is about one and a half that of the opening, which seems to be too much. Its not that you cant find facade archs that are really wide, but you would need many more "rings" or layers to it, like the pictures below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayman Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 In "Somewhere Above the City" it was mushrooms. In "In the North" it's path entities. Here's a portion of what exists today. About 50% of this is dentritic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk here or there or there. From there walk to here and so forth. some of those may be waiting or animation nodes. such diversity may cause each single play session to be unique from another. With complex enough pathing even the mission author may not know where his AIs are and what they are doing. Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend.

grayman Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 With complex enough pathing even the mission author may not know where his AIs are and what they are doing. So true. One of my lowly guards decided the best way from one RIT to another was through his Master's bedroom. Nuh-uh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotha Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 So true. One of my lowly guards decided the best way from one RIT to another was through his Master's bedroom. Nuh-uh. Hehe! Hey, that gives me an idea to further improve RITs! You could have custom conversations fire up with it. You could have some RIT path_corners in a area -say- forbidden for a servant. A dendritic servant RIT node takes the servant there anyway: the curious servant goes to the art-gallery to look at the paintings or something. The area contains a trigger_entityname entity, which fires up a conversation that makes a nearby guard rush to the area an tell the servant to get out or get his ass kicked.

grayman Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I like it. I've shied away from doing RIT conversations because I'd have to pick through the existing phrases and try to cobble together something that made sense. Not something I wanted to spend time on at this point. Maybe I'll revisit it when I get very close to the end of this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerdude Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Xen, that last one is spot on dude, its like something out a commercial game, the hint of blue is really effective..Can I ask what fog light and the args/ colour you used..? In fact I just had a realization - there would be no need to used a separate ambient world and fog light, which reduces perf, you could just add the required fog texture to the ambient world light and the then required shaderparm settings etc..
