No, not anymore, since they're done. The only thing left for the human side is the selection of sniper guns (we need at least four different kinds). If you are interested, you can also check out the alien concept art and model something from there.
You can find the alien concept art in this thread:

You can start with the alien labeled as "Stobz" (the name might change if people really dislike it, so don't worry if it sounds funny) and after that, choose whatever you want :)

Post a screenshot of your mesh! Can't wait to see it!

Press the "print screen" button on the keyboard and then paste it into your favorite image editing software (even ms paint works)

Then get one of the multiple free webspace hosts that allow remote linking, like www.tripod.lycos.com/ and upload the picture there, then link it here with an image tag! (Not going to explain it any further since you should be smart enough to figure it out!)

Heh, your making me feel dumber...

What do i do after i press the prnt screen button? Were is the pic saved?
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: OverFlow on May 12, 2003, 04:59:50 am
when you press printscreen the image is copied over to the clipboard.  So, as Who said, you can then paste it into your favortie image editing program.  (you can usually go to "edit/paste" in the menu or use the shortcut "ctrl+v")

Anyway does Who have any authority to say anything, because I would find it pretty mean if Ac1 started working without anyone seriously wanting to use his stuff.

That's good stuff, AC1!
Like I already mentioned, you can try your hands on making a good looking sniper rifle..

Post by: Ac1 on May 13, 2003, 02:12:44 am
Ok i just made a sniper rifl.  I think it can be usefull for a high-end energy rifle  8)

Clicky = http://acharlielstuff.20megsfree.com/images/  (look for sniperfront sniperback).

There's about 876 faces on the model. Is that too much?
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: Who on May 13, 2003, 06:00:37 am
The model is looking great, but it doesn't fit a sniper rifle, but rather some other, heavier, gun. Try to make a long barrel, and the rest easily holdable.

Almost 900 faces is too much for a gun! For example, on your sniper rifle, the handle does not need that much detail, you should reduce it. (Same with that tube on the top of it) Try to aim around 350 faces for a gun!

hey hey hey! Im making weapon models, and the mass driver is already done...

http://www.calpoly.edu/~rmarshal/tremulous/ <- look under massdriver and some other ones too if you want to see some other weapons...
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: Ac1 on May 13, 2003, 02:58:08 pm
Ok i got the mesh at 607 sides, anymore and i start to lose detail  :-?

Gave a longer barrel, moved the handle (like anyone will relly see it under the hand), remove some stuff, and redid the rest (if its not right tell me what it should look like).

go back to my site and look at sniper1.2  8)

see, the thing is that I've already finished all the weapons except the pain saw...so if you want to do that your welcome, but unless you want to skin or work on another set of modles.  Although I don't know whats left besides the base player model.

Overflow, your weapons are badass  :)
My rifle is badass to.
I finnaly fished the mesh so here

http://acharlielstuff.20megsfree.com/index.html (look for mymodels.zip)

the .zip has both my tele and rilfe in a .gmax format

use it how you like (as long as ppl know it was from me)
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: Who on May 15, 2003, 11:58:33 pm
It's pretty good, AC1. I'll see how we can best implement it, and of course you'll receive the credit you deserve for it. :) It's not like we're trying to rip you off.

If you want, you can also make a model of a double barreled shotgun with a laser sight on top. Nice job on the other weapon though!

I'm confused, is there going to be a Sniper rifle in Trem?

Cause that could change how I do some of my map.
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: OverFlow on May 16, 2003, 06:17:29 pm
There is a powerful, accurate, and slow firing weapon called the mass driver, that is very much like a sniper rifle, however, as of yet it does not have a zoom in capability.

Post by: Ac1 on May 17, 2003, 12:25:05 am
Who, are you one of the programers for this mod? kind of weired because of how you act on the gloom fourms.  :D

 maybe ii may make the mesh of a db shotgun, is there anything i need to know about the mods shotgun, or is it just like q3's one?
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: OverFlow on May 17, 2003, 01:10:04 am
Who is only here for emotional support.  That is the reason that next to his name it doesn't say Tremulous Dev.  I would also like to support M123's suggestion of never taking him seriously.

Thanks for contribution none-the-less.  I'm sure that if we find a need for your work we will use it.
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: Who on May 17, 2003, 01:15:32 am
It can look somewhat similar to the DBShotgun of the base q3, but try to make it look more "spacey" since the technology of tremulous is far more advanced. Feel free to be creative with it!

Post by: Who on May 17, 2003, 06:34:52 am
That's pretty neat.. and maybe you can polish up the handle a bit more and it would be even better. Just a round handle looks sort of awkward and not at all high tech, but I trust you have some nice idea in your head already!

How many polys is this model?

Yeah, but at least some part has to be sticking out at the bottom, otherwise a person couldn't get a good grip on it.
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: Ac1 on May 17, 2003, 09:57:10 pm
Who, i redid most of it and found out i had a few hidden poly lying around... gave it about 50 poly more.

375 polys now.

The non-hollow barrels look sort of weird, and the barrels themselves are pretty short, but i guess short barrels would be okay for a space shotgun..

What were your thoughts behind the non-hollow barrel? It might work if you have a good idea..
Title: Yo, can i help?
Post by: Ac1 on May 17, 2003, 11:40:58 pm
I was thinking that the texture will draw a black hole for the barrel.  :roll:
making a hole will probaly make the model over 400 polys, so i just wanted to save drawtime in the game.

the story of this shotgun:

Over the many years of the navy's battleship railguns. A cannon where the shot is moved by powerfule magnets.
A l33t inventer named Charles "Railer" (heh) made a 2x barrel using the save tech as the rail gun.  
this weapon will fire two magnet pupeled "shadder bolts" that only requier a small barrel to fire strate. When the bolts hits a solid surface the bolts will blow apart and fire in every diretion for only a few feet, causing majer damage if your close to the
blasted (likely causing you to have your limbs removed).

How's that?   8)  
Sorry for the bad spelling.

Here is the shotgun model

http://acharlielstuff.20megsfree.com/images/   (2xgun.zip)

Same rules apply to this file to(that this mesh model came from me) but you know that already, right?

I don't know what you can use it for, other than a 2 barrel shotgun.
but's its there if ya need it!  :D

Your moding team can modify it anyway you like too....

Post by: Psylo on May 20, 2003, 03:49:31 pm
The whole thing appears way too bulky to me.
I would like to see what it looks like if youd make it more slim.
