So what do you get if you just have a regular nobleman with no skin? He should look like the shiny green one. If he doesn't I've missed a file somewhere.

Here's what I've been working on for the past couple weeks. For ages I've wanted to add another female character model; something fairly generic that isn't obviously a noblewoman, wench or thief. He

I've gone ahead and done this...haven't spent a huge amount of time on it because the mage mesh really needs some improving (bad deformation in spots and the textures could use some work). I don't wa

Ah that's it. I think that might catch a few out as some AI have a selectable default skin so it looks like selecting green is the default because going back to the original it looks the same. Oh well. I missed the boat on that one.

Maybe I'll make a slightly darker editor image for that one, as that might trip some people up.

Ok, I'm uploading my furniture set_01. You've seen some of these before. Basically it's a set of furniture that shares the same seven skins, so that mappers can create a consistent decor in their maps. Individually they're not the most beautiful models I've ever made, but they're designed to be functional, re-using existing wood textures and with separate doors that can be set to open where appropriate.

 

The set includes:

 

1. Desk

2. Flip Desk (open & closed with separate door)

3. Chair

4. Bench

5. Flat Bench

6. End Table

7. Dining Table

8. Dresser

9. Tall Cabinet/Wardrobe (open & closed with separate door)

 

All but 1&5 are visible below.

The first one I already caught (just didn't upload yet) but I hadn't noticed the second one. Thanks. :)

Ok, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish this in time (weighting the shoulder shawl was a bitch) but I've gotten the priest rigged to the new skeleton. That means he'll be able to sit and sleep and play all the regular animations the other characters can. And he won't have those awful mitten hands.

 

I've made two entities, a civilian (the current one) and a combatant that has a golden hammer attached.

 

I still need to make the priest hat an attachable object, and then I'll finish off the heads. Oh, and he won't cast a shadow yet as I haven't added a shadowmesh.

After 1.0, it will be trivial to turn this mesh into a mage character.

Yay, more characters! :)

The right head seems to be a tad to small for the body, but the rest is of course cool. :) It would probably be easy to add a few colour-varying skins for that guy.

 

Do builder priests cast magic?

I agree it looks that way, but I'm pretty sure it's just perspective, as the two heads are virtually the same size.

At the moment, no. I was toying with the idea of trying to replace their "bottle" projectile with an imp fireball, but as I don't know much about projectiles I think that would take me more time than it's worth. If it's just a matter of copying over an entity or something, and someone doesn't mind doing it, I think that would be a cool little effect. But anything beyond that will have to wait until after 1.0.

IIRC there's just a spawnarg for the AI's projectile. Should be an easy change.

Would builders really use magic? I see them as opposed to magic generally. If they throw anything other than small hammers it might be hard to differentiate them from mages. Perhaps something with a holy aspect could be devised but hard to see what.

Fire is considered somewhat "holy" in Builder mythology, as it is necessary to shape metal and build tools. The wiki refers to some priests being able to call holy fire. Obviously, "miracles" that come from God are different than "sorcery" that comes from evil instruments of darkness...even if they happen to look similar. ;)

I'm going to abuse this thread here. :)

 

@Springheel: we have a few files where I don't know what to do about them.

 

skins/test_springheel.skin

skins/test_shadowmesh.skin

materials/springheels_characters.mtr

materials/springheels_old_skin_series.mtr

 

Can we safely leave them out or are their contents referenced by any models we release?

I'll have to check the skins. The other ones are definitely used. I'll sort them into the appropriate spots.

More specifically, there are problems with the following files:

 

WARNING: Couldn't load image: models/md5/chars/guards/citywatch/leather_tunic02

WARNING: Couldn't load image: models/md5/chars/guards/proguard_02/skins/proguard02_chainmail_worn

WARNING: Couldn't load image: tdm_commoner_tunic_greenish

WARNING: Couldn't load image: tunic_inside

These are referenced in test_springheel.skin

 

WARNING: Couldn't load image: models/md5/chars/thief/thief1_local

Used in springheel_characters, models/md5/chars/inventors/engineer2/engineer_collar/ties

file was removed some time ago

 

WARNING: Could not find head entityDef atdm:ai_head_commoner03!

used in atdm:ai_guard_brute and env_ragdoll_guard_thug

 

On a side note: I just made a test map with all (well, most) available characters and their skins as well as all the heads. Man, we do have a lot of variety now! :) It's test/ai_skins.map

Yeah, the springheel files contain some experiments that didn't pan out, which is why I like to keep all the stuff in those particular files. I'll move out the things that are working and needed, and then the rest of the file(s) can be removed from the package.

Great! Are all of these also to be released? Or in other words, could we split it up so we have a map which only contains AI that is to be released? That would be very helpful as I could use it to automatically check that the package we build doesn't miss a material/skin/tga etc. file.

 

Edit: An updated startpack.map would contain such a list,too, right? Since we already use startpack map to test the package, getting it updated would also serve the purpose. But having another reference map can't hurt :)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
