Bikerdude 3738 Report post Posted February 2, 2015 To use a well known phrase all the kids use these days, 'man thats sic'. I think Ive said it before in this thread, but these assets are extremly impressive and better than some of the ones in T4. One observation is the distance from the floor of the ground floor window in relation to the front door, the floor inside would be level with the bottom of the windows.

Springheel 4533 Report post Posted February 2, 2015 It would be good to have skins for those modules wit windows that uses colorme versions of the glass textures. This way mappers could color the windows using the "_color" spawnarg. I've included a few of my favourite windows as skins, but mappers will be able to add whatever skins they like. There's a great deal of flexibility in that regard. One observation is the distance from the floor of the ground floor window in relation to the front door, the floor inside would be level with the bottom of the windows. I see what you're saying. I have seen plenty of buildings with raised doors and low windows, though, so perhaps there are stairs going down on the other side of the door or something. http://static.laterooms.com/hotelphotos/laterooms/246827/gallery/1-castle-hill-lincoln_171120111518168746.jpg This isn't an example of anything, but I found it and want to keep it for reference later:https://krisgamble.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/img_0295.jpg perfect for posh modules: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/11610-darkmod-inspiration-thread/?p=364608 example of city-kit pieces:http://city.reallusion.com/ContentPreview.aspx?i=JIC155152d1f766aedf3 stone arches:http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nm9Z7cZ-L_8/SjddqIY0ngI/AAAAAAAAA9o/ey-uEqwQbQo/s1600-h/City+and+St+John%27s+042.JPG medieval timber02 module:http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87615 timber02 modules:http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87615 great module site:https://www.pinterest.com/gabsgomes/honours-project-proposal/ Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4533 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 I've been making some dirt/junk models for the edges of walls and buildings. They're not as flexible as patches (you can't change the size), but they're able to include more details, like decal edges that blend into the ground, shadows under bushes, etc, that would take mappers a lot of time to set up. My question is, where would mappers look for models like this? Would you want them all in the same place, or the leaf versions in a different place than the dirt ones? A few potential candidates: models/darkmod/misc? models/darkmod/junk? models/darkmod/nature/dirt? Or a new folder? 6 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bikerdude 3738 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 For the textures: I would say new folder for the leaves/grass based ones - - textures/darkmod/decals/nature , eg tdm_leaves_edge_01, etc. And then use the exiting path for dirt for the dirt//leaves/grass based ones - - textures/darkmod/decals/dirt , eg tdm_dirt-leaves_edge_01, etc. For the models: - models/darkmod/nature/dirt Why make models, would it not be easier just to make decal textures..? that way mappers can just use patches etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4533 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Why make models, would it not be easier just to make decal textures..? They're able to include more details, like decal edges that blend into the ground, shadows under bushes, etc, that cannot be done with single textures and would take mappers a lot of time to set up if they were doing them manually.

Springheel 4533 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 I must have forgotten to upload a texture somewhere. I'll look into it. For the record, I decided to put them in the darkmod/junk, since that's where mappers will likely be looking when they want debris to scatter on the ground--whether it's piles of dirt, leaves or garbage is secondary.

Springheel 4533 Report post Posted March 25, 2017 Reviving this old thread.... I feel like our old bookshelf models are really showing their age. We can't replace them because too many mappers have done creative things with them (custom textures or secret doors, etc). So I've made an alternate version that is the same size as the original, that can be used in future maps. There are two different book arrangements, and also a version with empty shelves. 9 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4533 Report post Posted July 10, 2017 Working on a new module set, suitable for crypts and church interiors, as those are one of the glaring holes in our current module sets. It's at 37 pieces currently. 14 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Springheel 4533 Report post Posted September 23, 2017 Added a double-door and some stained glass models to the church module set. The two statues were models originally started by Oddity, and finished recently by Epifire. 10 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Epifire 782 Report post Posted September 24, 2017 Coming along nicely! I'm wondering, in total how many new lwo files are encompassing the new pack (all unique variants included)? Also I noticed you mirrored the statue. Good call, as it looks much better with symmetrical details flanking the doorway. 1 Quote You need a model? Epi does you a model.

There are 47 model files in the church set. There are about 5 skins for each one, so some decent flexibility. 4 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4533 Report post Posted December 22, 2019 It has been over a year since I did any work on the map for the final campaign mission, and I think the chances of me ever building back up the energy and commitment to finish such a massive project by myself are slim to none. I'll probably be putting the map (actually 3 separate maps at this point) up for adoption at some point, but in the meantime there are dozens of custom assets I was holding back for that mission, including new AI and some necromancer assets, that have been sitting on my HD unused. I want to release them so that other mappers can benefit from them. I'll post them here gradually, a few at a time as I get them uploaded to SVN. All these should be available to mappers when TDM 2.08 is released. First of all, a new standing sphere light (modified from the existing wall one) and a new magnifying glass & stand. There are 4 new "anatomy" skins for book and paper models, suitable for the desks of doctors or necromancers. A few new "clutter" models, including 2 collections of scattered rocks and 2 batches of scattered papers, to easily add some visual interest to scenes. And a new tile texture with a few colour variations. Each colour has a set with red squares as well so you can create various geometric patterns. (While I'm at it, Kingsal gave his permission to use his amazing beastmen AI in the core mod, so I've finished converting and uploading them--they'll be in 2.08 as well). 12 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
