The ai Frontier - My ups and downs

[tZork]

The essential part is that you export the lasers and the rest as two separate files.

tags are md3 position markers. These are good for stitching two models together in code. Not necessary (you can note down the offset too, and use that), but it makes things easier.

The .skins file/s with mainly be for the top parts id say, to set flag colour. if the lasers change colour too they could use one as well. This is not totally necessary, but it will save resources as the model only needs to be put into memory once.

The flags are pretty much done as far as it concerns me now. The concept, design, textures, shaders, animations are all complete. There is one last thing that we are trying to do and that is to make the animated legs function properly. This is taken care of with code and tZork has offered to make that code. So I've done pretty much everything I can now it's up to the coders (no pressure ).

So with the flags wrapped up I have started a new project. That is creating a new gun for Nexuiz. This is intended to replace the Nex gun, however, this isn't anything official, I'm just doing this as I want to have a new gun for myself, and I'm also basing this gun on Div0's description over here: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?p=50378#50378
Of course, if that kind of function won't be implemented I might change the design a bit (to fit the current functionality of the Nex i.e. take away one of those rods in my concept).
Now, keep in mind that no one has asked for a new Nex gun, I just make this one as I don't think the current official Nex gun really fits the style and it doesn't really appeal to me.

This is the design so far, I of course accept any input anyone might have


Cheers.

It looks like a super-soaker with airport tarmac-control flares affixed to the end.

Ah,and very good job on the flags!

Alright folks. Tonight I'll post a flag pack. This flag pack has 3 different versions: 1 flag, 2 flags and 3 flags.
Please try them all out and give them each a fair amount of playtime. Come then back here and post which you liked the best. I post screens here as a quick overview.
Now if you have any problems getting these to work then come back and say what went wrong and I'll try to solve it.
There is a readme in the package, be sure to read that, especially if you're a newbie or not as sure as to what to do.

Cheers.

Are laser legs gonna stay or be animated?

Are laser legs gonna stay or be animated?

You'd have to ask tZork that question. He did work on the lasers code so they could be animated, however, I do not know the progress on how's it going. The animations and separations are done. It's just the code that needs changing. Don't know how hard it is to code it.
So, you'd have to bring this up with him.

2 flag cloth version is official atm. Probably forever.

I think the two flags looks best I think!
