New Assignments

[sparhawk]

Looks good!

[V.D.]

Looking good... maybe you could deform it a little bit for an older look...?

 

Until now it has a fresh-factory-look...

THat can be handled by a texture for the most part.

[_Atti_]

I finished the low poly of the first and made two other chests( a real massive one,and a simple one)

 

 

Keyholes goes where marked with red

[BlackThief]

very nice

[sparhawk]

Cool! Can you also do some small, flat one? The ones that were used on tables, you know? More like for jewelry and such small stuff.

[_Atti_]

here it is:)

[oDDity]

All very nice Atti. I'm sure BT will being looking forward to all this lovely texturing work)

[sparhawk]

Great! Looks really good!

[New Horizon]

Great work happening here.

[BlackThief]

you can send me the stuff, or upload it to the FTP, as soon as you've got the normalmaps. ATM I can't do much for the guard anyway, because I'm still waiting for corth's normalmap.

[oDDity]

I forgot I already did a jewelry box, but there's no harm in having two. I'll have this game ready pretty soon.

How are we handling these contaniers anyway. Are we having them as md5meshs and anims, so when you frob them the lid swings open,m and then you can look in and frob the loot? THat would be the best way.

[sparhawk]

As I posted already above, the easiest way would be to align the rotation axis wioth the back of the lid, so that we can open it with the same code that is also used for doors. Because a chest is basically a room with a door.

[Ishtvan]

yeah that's true, we can just make a func_darkmod_chestdoor class or soething that inherits func_darkmod_door and uses the same rotation axis/frobbing setup.

[sparhawk]

That's not even needed. It depends though how we make the chests. If we do them like T1/T2 had, so that you open the chest and the loot is immediately transfered to your account *leech* we need a seperate class. If they are like in T3 so that you just can open them, but you have to grab the stuff yourself, then we don't even need that.

[Springheel]

I think we all prefer the T3 method, where the loot doesn't automatically pop out.

[sparhawk]

No problem either way. It's even less work for us coders and IMO it's more interesting because you have to look into the chest.

[_Atti_]

what things left to model from milestone 1 and what are the new assignments for milestone 2?

[Springheel]

How about some door handle/lock combos?

Yes, I feel this is one thing that wasn't done well in T2. Loot/items shouldn't leech into your inventory when a chest is opened. It was hard to figure out how much loot you acquired; and I think sometimes hard to figure out what item you just picked up. See oDD, we all know the LGS gods didn't get *everything* right

[_Atti_]

do you want the lock and handle as separate models?

[Springheel]

I don't think that's necessary. Fancier locks will have fancier handles.

[_Atti_]

i meant it animation wise..if you need them separate and will animate with sript or the other way

 

btw what happened with those DeepO made?

[Springheel]

I don't know...DeepO pops in and out. I don't know that he ever put them on the ftp site. But even if he did, I think his might have been a little too high-poly anyway.

 

As far as animation, the handle is the only thing that will have to move. I don't know anything about how that affects the model though.

[_Atti_]

here is the fancy one: i changed the desing a bit so its not a duplication of DeepOs model

 

291 tris..cant think of anything more to reduce on it

 

hm cant post pics

 

edit: ok here it is
