This Thread is for the Cabinet1 Fans ONLY [Version 2.0 Update]

[Wellingtoncrab]

*****UPDATE*****

cabinet1 fans! Version 2 of the cabinet1 extension pack is here with a new desk and bench model as well 5 unique hutch and curio cabinet prefabs! Big thanks to cabinet1 expert @Dragofer who generously polished the models and prefabs and fixed up the naming/pathing/definitions to be core mod compliant. God speed!

Jumping over from the Discord where you should definitely join us if you aren't there already.

No modelling skill here what so ever, but I have long found myself hopelessly addicted to cabinet1. Now it has gotten even worse with desk02 and desk03 being such great new assets. I just wanted/needed a little more matching furniture for my map so I put these together in DR. To be clear these are very basic but along the way I thought they might be of utility to anyone else who just needs more of that cabinet1 magic and can't wait for the pros to deliver the next dose. Of course just like cabinet1, desk02 and 03 they all have the "desk_old" skin variant and there is a prefab for the curio cabinet with working doors. God speed.

Updated with the polished pack with new models and prfabs

These are of wonderful! I do have a request if you don't mind. Is there an openable version of the cabinet on the far left? It would be cool to be able to open those glass doors, search it for loot, etc

[Wellingtoncrab]

@AmadeusYes these are the openable doors which came originally with desk03! There is a prefab in the pk4 with the openable doors all setup to just drop into your map

[Amadeus]

Awesome! Can't wait to check these out tonight, thanks for putting in the hard work

[Wellingtoncrab]

@Amadeus thanks for trying them out! Let me know if you notice anything which can be improved.

[geegee]

Oh yes!  The prefab with openable doors works perfectly with the desk3_complete.  Thanks!

eta: now changed to the desk3 prefab.  

I think I know what assets are there but then find out I don't know half of it.

Great work, nice to see the cabinet1 series continued!

I've done the preparation for assimilating them into the core assets by renaming them etc. and have the following remarks:

- If you don't mind, I've used Blender to extend the wave-shape of the hutch's drawers to the surfaces immediately above and below.

- It looks like you've exported these with a slightly older version of DR? This is because the models suffer from the excess vertices bug that was patched in one of the more recent DR versions, which can affect shading. I've fixed that in Blender.

- The small table seems a little high compared to other tables, which could result in clipping with AIs sitting at them. To be sure I've lowered the tabletop from 39 to 37 units.

- In skins, it's good to get into a habit of putting model paths and material names into quotation marks. This ensures you never get problems with unusual symbols or unintentional keywords.

I'll share my local version once it's all done.

By the way, make sure to check the desk prefabs, since you can find a complete and decorated version of desk3 with all moving parts there.

@Dragoferwow thanks for taking your time polishing these up! If anyone “gets” cabinet1 it’s you, so please feel free to make any alterations you like!

-I will fix the path convention in my skins going forward.

-I actually am using the latest release of DR - Since these were thrown together with brushes, while I tried to caulk everything which was not visible I imagine there is some sloppy work/excess faces in there that could just account for the excess vertices?

-I actually forgot the table was in the pack. I feel like the concept of “cabinet1 as table” could go a bit further than that simple model, but I did find in my map there was a need for a table with a narrower desk like footprint as sometimes a table just looks more natural in a space than a desk.

@geegee no credit here! I yanked the doors from the incredible desk03 prefab itself - only tweaked the movement speed and angle - definitely check that one out as well as the desk02 prefabs as there is an awesome amount of detail put into those!

@Wellingtoncrab
Sure, I'm always open to creative reuse of good furniture textures. And all assets that get included into core should be vetted and made consistent with existing conventions.

Then it's possible that not just patches, but also brushes were affected by the bug. Each triangle in the model becomes a standalone surface with 3 unique verts, which can easily double the total vert count for a model.

If you've still got the original brushwork I could use that to open a bugtracker ticket. It looks like Greebo's doing a models-focused update for DR 2.14, so it'd be a good time.

 

Btw, it'd be nice if the hutch had a few prefabs. Maybe 1 could be what you showed in the screenshot, another 1 with some plates on display and so on. (Yeah, I should probably have made more than 1 prefab for desk3 so we don't have the curious situation where every noble now has a model ship in his desk vitrine).

[Wellingtoncrab]

@Dragoferattached is the original brushwork if that is helpful.

When your local version is done I will put together some prefab variants for the hutch and the curio cabinet.

Edit: also there was a texturing issue with the feet on the filing cabinet which I have correct in the main post

added note about fixed model

[Wellingtoncrab]

New version in the original post which includes all of Dragofer's improvements as well as new models and prefabs!

[SeriousToni]

Can this please be added to the next core 2.10 update?

Also I think I should print a t-shirt now. With the model and the headline cabinet1 on it. Nobody will get this, which makes it even more reasonable and funny.

[Dragofer]

Just to emphasise the new prefabs by Wellingtoncrab:

This pack has of course been added to the core assets for 2.10 and will be available with the next dev build. Note that players on pre-2.10 builds won't have these assets, so it might be a good idea to keep the above pack in your FM archive. Otherwise you can make your FM 2.10-dependent by adding this line to your darkmod.txt:

Required TDM Version: 2.10

 

P.S.: now wardrobe1 is next
