For many months now there has been a nice model (both exterior and cockpit) for a nexuiz helicopter vehicle. It lacks the code to make it fly.

There is only one man that can bring that copter alive.
That man is...

TZORK

The Deathulator

Dude,
Tzork looks nothing like that.
His eyebrows are waaaaay more crazy.
The gun is correct though, he tried to shoot me with just that very sidearm and intense look the last time i tangled with him.
Not sure how kindly he'll take to you trying to blow his cover.

I dont know what tZork looks like , but this is damn funny . both posts

...funny?
...FUNNY?
...
-apoplectic spittle emitted-

umm... I know him well.
Not even a sligth resemblance.

aahahha .. yeah nice CB, ...
-yes this looks nothing at all like tzork- hhrrrr hrrr gfwaffle gfwaw
like what you did there, subtle, twisty, eheh. Man you're deep, I don't even know what side of the irony I'm on any more, wow.

i wish makehuman would export eyebrow textures :\

also, I sent the model to Oblivion for texturing, but that was quite awhile ago. i have not heard back from him

tzork who?

tzork who you don't know?
-sigh-

Never heard of this tzork. Is he living under a rock somewhere? All I know is this is a great forum. Someone should get the credit for managing it.

Oh, great tZork, who has forged the allmighty BanHammer in the unending fire of thousand trolls, I summon YOU!

all fall to their be knighted knees the ban hammer falls hence/is nigh/hovers threateningly above us dot dot dot

Ia Ia, mighty ban hammer! Ia Ia from within the darkness he reign! Ia Ia, mighty tZork!

this thread smells funny.

last i head of it Yoda almighty was still working on the model to make it work with vehicle code.

me? code? i couldn't code my way out of a paper bag xD

i am still waiting for oblivion to finish texturing, but if you want i can upload the model for you to play around with.

actually, i think i already did somewhere...

Please upload it. If it's only textureing that needs doing, that can be done later. It is customary for nexuiz models to initally have not-so-good-textures that will be make better later.

I haven't heard from oblivion since 2 weeks ago after he released all those nice maps, I hope he's not gone for another year (like last time) :/. He's a good artist and makes nice things.

TZork: You need to keep on these modelers, see how they slack off for ... 3 months! (with the vehicle)
Please make this happen. You have the power.

not the code Yoda almighty, the model itself. yeh you did and for one it was way to high poly. there was a few other thing too iirc, but i cant remember what anymore. at any rate i should work on the stuff already i already added first in the event i get some time and motivation. if there was a nice textured model it would be a different story, but as it stand now i dont feel any motivation for writing that code.

I've created a buggy,(and I'll be able to rig it) but no one wants to texturize it!
I think that this is the main problem that the nexuiz community doesn't want to understand. We need ROLES!If I model a vehicle, another texturizes it. another writes the code, and so on, every week we would have a new model!

Another thing: we need a DOCS page at the top of the forum (with 3 or 4 manuals,not more, but complete and clear)!Why nobody gives me attention?

here, if you want it. oblivion got back to me, and says he finally has time to do some texturing.

i will see if i can lower the poly a little. i have learned a little more about meshes since than.

Tondude: uv mapping is hard. No one likes to do it.
But, I personally would rather have an untextured 4 wheel vehicle to play with than nothing. I don't know how to program for nexuiz though.

FileHosting.org won't let you download without submitting your email which they then send you a dl link.
Could you upload to http://omploader.org/ instead. It doesn't require anything to download from or upload to.

i got a hold of oblivion on IRC> he finished unwrapping the model, and should be done with the texture ~Wednesday. ill do some fixes than and upload it for you.

For Yoda (I thought when you said 'the image won't load' yesterday that you were refering to the image of the game you made in blender LOL), I only just realized you were referring to the one I uploaded.

Anyway, here it was, just the base tex for now. Still adding rust stains, wear, markings/team colors, and also texturing the turrets separately:

SAAAAAA WEEEEEEEEET!
nice one obz.

Is impossible not to say: You're the GOD of texturing, Oblivion!!Excellent Job!If you make a manual on how texturing models, I SWEAR, I'll buy it !

I rember there was an inner-cockpit made for the helicopter too (the model you see when you're inside the copter), that's still around right?

Wow, crazy good texturing by oblivion.

LOL, it really isn't THAT good. It's kinda rushed. But thanks.

Sorry for taking so long, am busy with other stuff as well. :d Anyway it's uploaded and done. Included a shirts/pants mask as well.
