How do I make these ctf flag objects? Where do I set the flag origin to be (right now it's in the middle near where you'd hold it: should it be at the bottom where it sticks into the ground?). What else do I do? What sv_ command do I put in my serverside mapinfos so these will appear as the flags for the medeval maps I made?

I did this accidentaly before.
If you click on the default red/blue flags properties then just change the model it should work.

I got them ingame.

Code: Select all

Btw: I was trying to add a c_var to allow one to sepecify the red and blue flag but hit an error in compiling:

if (!self.model) self.model = cvar("g_ctf_flag_mdl_blue");

Blender export script used (I fixed the texture address problem (stopped it from writing the full system path to the texture)

Can you please use the edit button instead of quad-posting? That works just as well and is less of a clutter.. Done that for you, for once..

And i think in that code snippet you need to use cvar_string(...) not just cvar()

Using edit now

Here's the code diff, adds cvars for red and blue flag model:

Here is the pk3:

My opinion on my alt flag is: in blender they look good and have the effect I want, in nexuiz they lack the "epic/saga" look that they have in blender (though now I have gloss maps; I'll have to test those on the nvidia box).. I think this is due to the diffrent way the 2 programs shade the object; Blender's shading works to really highlight the 3dness of the item while the standard nexuiz shading makes it "seem" more 2d (and this is with other flag models aswell).

Also does anyone know how to animate in blender (how would I make the flag gently flutter). Div0 suggests a vertex deform shader but wouldn't that cause the vertexs to decouple like it does when you have a multi-sided water box? If not; how would I get it to use the vertexes that are there, not decouple them, and set just the cloth of the flag to do that and successfully export it with the modified export of md3 blender script I posted above in another post?






Thoughts?

Anyone have thoughts on these?

I'd say they look good and they definately fit the style of your maps.

Thanks

I just now got the flag parts to gently wave in the breeze:
These flags have texture, bump, and gloss maps.
