Springheel's Stuff

From the screenshot, those hedges could also...maybe... be used as props in a marijuana farm? Maybe? (or some other illegal substance in the TDM world) A versatile model for sure.

[STiFU]

Wow, those hedges look very realistic. I wonder how they react to different lighting situations...

Could we please get a link to the hedges?

 

Seconded.

 

If it is on svn you should be able to download it directly.

 

OK, then link? (Going to svn.thedarkmod.com redirects to an https:// 404 error, no list of files to even search manually à la an ftp file repository.)

[Goldwell]

Seconded.

I pm'd Springheel and will post here if he sends the link

[Springheel]

Anyone with access to SVN can bundle them up. I'm stuck in #renohell at the moment.

[Obsttorte]

Just saw that you need a username + password to get access. So yeah, maybe uploading it is an uption. But as 2.02 should be out anytime soon (at least I think so), it may also get shipped with that version.

[Springheel]

No, they won't be in 2.02. That build has been in a development freeze for weeks.

Zip file, remove the txt ending.

 

Springheel, are u using stock materials on them or do I have to upload more files?

hedge.zip.txt

Awesome but it's missing the textures. Do you have those too?

[Springheel]

You'd need hedge_round01.dds and hedge_round01_local.tga, as well as the material shaders. Then there are the LOD entities. Easiest thing to do is probably check the SVN commit emails, but I can't do that atm.

[Springheel]

Ok, the necessary files:

 

models/darkmod/nature/hedge_round01_local.tga

 

in trunk/materials/tdm_models_nature.mtr you need the shaders: (tdm_hedge_round01 and tdm_hedge_round01_edges)

 

For the LOD entities you need:

 

models/darkmod/misc/lod/nature/hedge01_arch_low.lwo

models/darkmod/misc/lod/nature/hedge01_round_large_low.lwo

models/darkmod/misc/lod/nature/hedge01_round_low.lwo

models/darkmod/misc/lod/nature/hedge01_round_small_low.lwo

models/darkmod/misc/lod/nature/hedge01_square_long_low.lwo

models/darkmod/misc/lod/nature/hedge01_square_low.lwo

models/darkmod/misc/lod/nature/hedge01_square_small_low.lwo

 

And the entities themselves are in:

trunk/def/tdm_lod_nature.def

[Bikerdude]

Ok, the necessary files:

You forgot -

 

- /dds/models/darkmod/nature/hedge_round01.dds

 

And Ive added -

 

- /textures/models/darkmod/nature/hedge_round01_ed

[Bikerdude]

What would make the hedge model appear black in-game..?

 

For some reason I could have sworn I copied the .dds file over and didn't.

[RJFerret]

Now that I see you have them working and included in a mission in the other thread, any chance of zipping up the complete assets for the rest of us to download please?

[Springheel]

And you can get the models/textures here: www.mindplaces.com/save/hedges.zip

[Bikerdude]

Spring how far down to I have to sink the model into the ground so the shadowmesh is touching said ground..?

[Springheel]

Only the cube or sphere casts shadows, not all the individual leaf planes. You have to sink it until the cube is on the ground.

[Bikerdude]

The cube is quite hard to see...

[RJFerret]

These are simply brilliant. I just replaced a unnatural patch tube with embedded plant models trying to break up its profile, with what look like actual plants, even having foliage protrude through metal fencing at the end.

 

Thanks so much!

[Goldwell]

Thanks so much for this Springheel, my garden will now be complete!
