Model import help: Crystals


Dragofer

Recommended Posts

I'd like to scale up and make some other changes to TDM's crystal1-4.ase models because the rotation hack makes them pop out of existence when seen at the border of the screen, which looks very bad -

 

 

Yet my Blender .ase importer simply does nothing for these crystals, while most other .ase's are fine. I'm using the JediAcademy importer for Blender 2.76b, with my Blender being that version.

 

Then I tried open3mod which can import the crystals but gets unhandled exceptions on exporting to any other format.

 

Also tried Wings3D but it doesn't even seem to support .ase? There's no .ase import option by default, and wings3d forums seem to imply there's no support (i.e. Post #3).

 

 

 

Could someone please share a working alternative .ase importer setup for me to try out, or send a zip with these 4 crystals in .obj, .blend, .lwo or another common format? It'd be appreciated

If you give upscaled models the spawnarg inline 1, this will stop them from popping off the edges of the screen. They do become non solid though and you can't move them, but its a fix I used a few times.

Serpentines aassimp tool looked promising but gave me one of those notorious MSVCP110.dll errors. Went to Microsoft to download the latest Visual C++ but nothing happens when I click on the download button. Nothing but trouble.

Great, I'll use this. No need then to place all the crystals again.

Yeah, I've made use of that feature in DR in the past. It's just undesirable to recreate an existing model only because the import script you're using doesn't work.

      Fm idea (braindump)
      "Experience the life of a mission builder"
      Esentially there are finnished elements placed somewhere in storage in the game and you have to place them in the correct places, build some walls here and there, add guard routes, give them their correct speech lines, etc. Decorate the places.. all in-game. lots of fun.. 😉
      If you do it right in the end you can play the mission.
      (would be even cooler if a thief-ai could play the mission, making it some kind of tower-defence game)
       
      This first started as an idea for an aquarium builder mission where-in you have to fill an empty aquarium with sand, waterplants, castles water and swimming fish. But above idea is more fun.

      Dear ChatGPT, What are The Builders in the Dark Mod?
       
      The Builders is a popular game mode in the video game community called "Dark Mod," which is a fan-made tribute to the classic "Thief" series of stealth games. In this game mode, players assume the role of builders who construct structures in a dark and ominous environment while trying to avoid detection by patrolling guards.
      The Builders game mode is unique in that it offers players the opportunity to create and design their own levels using the in-game tools and resources provided. Players can experiment with different building materials, construct intricate traps and puzzles, and create their own unique gameplay experiences.
      While The Builders game mode is not an official part of the Dark Mod, it has become one of the most popular and well-loved aspects of the game, thanks to its emphasis on creativity, strategy, and stealth.

      I know I'm not active much, but it feels a bit too silent in here. Is everyone taffing around, again?
