OverFlow's Update pics Thread (modems beware)

Over.... I'll just make the doors bigger

alternativly we could make him crouch.

I love the idea of having a REALLY HUGE alien.. it will just be soo dramatic ingame  

[OverFlow]

:lol:

by large I ment not just tall, but wide...  although I think most of your doors account for that.  definetly not jex's map though

Day 3:  Jetpack...

Ok, so I didnt do very much today... but gimme a break, I have to relax a little bit right?

I really didnt like the old jetpack, so I re-made it.  (looking at crylar's sketches for refernce of course)  I also found out how to 'bake' textures.  This means that jex (or any other skinner for that matter) can start out with a very good skin that shows what the lighting should look like.  So... here it is:

The little colored bits on it come from the flamethrower.  The rest is the map's lighting and the skin itself.  
Oh yeah... since I had a new jetpack, I had to make new jets that shoot out of it....



Jex has also been working very hard on skinning all those guns I made back then.  Because of my newbieness he also re-skinmapped almost all of them too...

Here's a pic of the mass driver:


(for you observant folks:  The mass driver is giving off a blue light, but the flash is green... still have to fix that  :-? )



Well, that was my thanksgiving break, have to go to work tomorrow then school and more work, then finals... and then christmas break!  3 weeks of nothing but eating good food, getting/giving presents, and tremulous modelling goodness.


oh and, all pictures in this post were taken directly from Tremulous with no post-processing besides cropping.... and file conversion/compression

[Excalibur]

you can never go to big. but what about making it so when it moves it crawls on all 6 legs or what ever that will take care of how tall it is.
about all the human shots are you gonna make a new human model or is it just gonna be sarge?

[OverFlow]

Sarge fits the bill of what we want as a human player.  We will probably re-skin him for the first release, but will most likely create a new human player model for future releases.  

Right now, we kinda want to get a game out as soon as possible and a new human player wont add that much in the overall scheme of things.

[Godmil]

can we make it so that the Mofo can crouch, where he both ducks and pulls his legs in at the side...

I'd just really like to be a human in a room, then see this mass of alien squeezing through a door, then when he gets through to stand up and like tower over the room

I'm sure I'd cack my pants

[Crylar]

Well, that's big enough for me. But shore, bigger would never hurt.

Its very nice to know that you have use of my sketches.

The massdriver looks Awsome with skin on. I hope there will be some cool efect or atleast a long railthing.

Godmil - Very nice idea. the big Mofo should be abel to chrouch or some thing, but that would ofcause make him alot slower.

[OverFlow]

wow... quadruple post, dont see those too often.  Should probably get a moderator to fix that...

[edit]  there, all better [/edit]

and if we make the mofo crouch, I have to make more animations

[Crylar]

It was me who posted four times, cause when I clicked on 'Submit' I got some kind of connection error message.

But thanks for removeing them

[Kinnadian]

I think with the jetpack and a sniper a big mofo wouldn't stand a chance, unless the the big mofo can throw some shit at em, very nice work as well overflow, I've been browsing, and this mod seems to be very promising  

[Excalibur]

I think with the jetpack and a sniper a big mofo wouldn't stand a chance, unless the the big mofo can throw some shit at em

yea that would be cool is there a way you can make like crates that you can pick up and throw cause that would be cool.

[Who]

you can make like crates that you can pick up and throw cause that would be cool.

I hate you.

[Excalibur]

I hate you.

i still love you who.

[Kinnadian]

who is my hero, my hero is who  

[OverFlow]

although not nessesary for our first release I thought it'd be nice to have animated 1st weapons, as well as the hand that you can always see carrying the weapon.  So after a few hours, I have a rigged hand... now I just need to uvw map it and get someone to skin it for me  :wink:


oh, and because the shot is just a screenshot from the editor, I'll link it instead of putting the picture up.

<image removed>

[Crylar]

Wow, that hand looks nice, very nice.

[M123]

It's a hand.

[Kinnadian]

but if you had no hand, you wouldn't be able to hold the gun, and it wouldn't look uber realistic, uhmmm for animations could u make the hand give someone the finger....that would be sweet  :lol:

[Crylar]

M123 -  Yeah I know its just a hand, but a hand can look many ways, and this one looks rather good. And this hand don't seem to use many polygons, and the polygons used on it is used very good.

And hands and armes in fps games very often looks like crap from the first person view. I have seen many hand in Mods for HL that makes you cry cause they are so ugely and NOT done well.

But sure if you mean "It's a hand." as in "It's a hand, a hand are no big deal for overflow cause he is leet." then I understand.

[M123]

It's a goodlooking hand. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Kinnadian]

just a question.....are any of the alien classes gonna have hands on the hud? or other eye candy goodness?, and since you got the new particle system goin good work timbo, and thanks for the demo Jex. can't wait to see the beta build  

[M123]

The particle system video looks great, can't wait to see some maps using it. But maybe in a more standard codec, already got too many codecs installed.

[Crylar]

The snow that get sucked out the vents looks awsome

[Kinnadian]

can't wait till I see an alien come runnin after me then flick the switch an watch em burn like ants with a magnified glass  :evil:

[Crylar]

One of the alien classes could have slime dripping out of its mouth, that would be cool. And if is left a trail a human could spott the trail and folow it, or something.

[Godmil]

heheheh a trail of drool  that would be great.

[Crylar]

Or (seans the Partical system seams pretty easy to use) maybe there could be an alien class with like thick yellow steam/gas comming out of his eyes(like Spawn if you have read it).

Do you understand what I mean??

- me post pic to show -

[Kinnadian]

the drooling idea is good, but why not have the alien builder leave a trail of blood whenever he builds something, so just say ur human, u come around the corner, and see blood on the floor, then u know how to prepare to die by me! :evil:

[Excalibur]

man i wish i could draw like you  

[Crylar]

Thanks Excalibur  

or maybe we could have an alien clas just coverd in mist/gas you all you see is his eyes, teeths and legs. That would be just soooo awesome

Or maybe en alien class that breeds gas, so every now an then you can see hees breath in the air, kind of like when it cold outside you know
