Hammerite Imperium Textures Go D3

[Fingernail]

I'm in the process of converting all the good Hammerite Imperium textures (over 300 new ones ) into D3 format. It's a long-winded process.

 

Anyway, there are several marble tiles on the ftp now under Textures/Dark Mod/Miscellaneous/Tiles/

 

There are only 3 normal maps (many of the diffusemaps are the same combination of tiles in different colours), and three specular also. There is no material file yet, but if someone writes one and integrates them, they are good to go.

 

They are all 256x256 (all 3 types).

That's sure good news. 300 Textures is quite a lot.

[New Horizon]

Excellent news! We can put those to good use.

[Alexius]

ahh, good work milord.

I'd get them converted myself, but I got to finish Imperium mission 1 soon.

[Fingernail]

Hello there. :lol:

[Alexius]

yes. I be watching thy forums, milord.

Gonna get some grand art done hopefully for thee soon.

This is good stuff. Let's be sure to give some thought to whether they belong in the *Mansion* pack, or the upcoming Cathdral Pack, just for organization's sake. Obvoiusly there can be some duplication.

Obvoiusly there can be some duplication.

I hope you don't mean to duplicate textures just to fit them in a category. Either we should put them in one, or the other category, or create a new category. Whatever is best.

[Springheel]

Well, there are some textures that will be applicable in lots of "pack" themes. I'm not saying we duplicate the texture files themselves. I guess it depends how we organize these things.

[Fingernail]

There are lots of church textures in the HI archive, it's true. But there are also some custom 'generic' ones for bricks, vaulting, walls of all sorts. It's quite varied (although all fairly luxuriant).

[Springheel]

What's the status on this project, Fingernail? We could use some new textures.

[Fingernail]

It's difficult to know which textures exactly belong to Alexius, and which to the authors of DEDX. Other than that, I'm a little hesitant about doing mass-batch-conversions, particularly to generate normalmaps.

what is 'Imperium'?

[sparhawk]

Never heard of "Imperium strikes back"? Star Wars. Big movie.

[Alexius]

dedx textures have X at the end obviosly...

Imperium textures have V or GOG at the end.

Always glad to download things for Thief2, Alexius . This is on my waiting list (along with Thief2x ). LOL, just looked, and my Thief2 folder takes up 5.5 GB :lol: .

3 new textures on CVS.

 

I made a "floor" directory for generic non-mansion specific floors. Within this there is Ground, where all exterior natural textures should go. So there is a gravel and a mossy texture in that. These are referenced in a new floors.mtr

 

And one extra mansion/walls/ texture, for which I updated the mansion.mtr

[pakmannen]

Why did you place moss and gravel under "floor"? Shouldn't they be under you know, nature/garden or something like that? Also, shouldn't all folder names be lower-case?

 

Also, for some reason, CVS wont download them. I got the email and all, but the new folder doesn't show up.

 

Edit - Seems like I got the material file (materials/floor.mtr), but not the textures. Even weirdier.

[Fingernail]

curiouser and curiouser...yeah rename Ground to ground. Forgot that, but it does work for me

[Fingernail]

Did you tick the box which says create missing directories which exist in the repository? I think you need to do this since it's a new directory.

I'm about to finish getting Max 7, so I should be joining the texturing fray full force here soon.

 

Speaking of which, have we sent out good ole Uncle Hammerite for any help wanted advertisments yet?

Apparently not yet

[Fingernail]

No, why is that?

[New Horizon]

All in due time. Uncle Gay is recovering from a party.
