Duncan_10158 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 ok, i finaly fixed the fault i made with the dewback, the animation i made till now workes right now. i am correcting the size and the driver possition now, when i am done that, the dewback is redy for a first beta. we need to figur out his movement speed, and all the animation that would look good on it. btw, never ever mirror bones! in 3ds max it workes but JA cant handle it and you get horrible touble!

monsoontide Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Just wanted to inform you all that I've started a new thread in the showcase forum exclusively for the Dewback. Currently features a couple of EARLY in-game shots. Updates for the other vehicles will still continue in this thread for a bit - though they may each get their own thread as they become closer to completion.

wedge2211 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Originally posted by kmd i will happily beta test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol Originally posted by Bowas5 I can test it if you want to. You know, beta testing involves more than just getting the mod before everyone else (and sending "wow this is awesome great job dude keep it up" back to the author). It involves TESTING out all aspects of the mod and reporting all comments, questions, bugs, suggestions, and feedback to the author. And then deleting the beta version of the mod. Just thought I'd point that out since monsoontide had some problems getting people to report back on the Sith Speeder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Yes - very acurate wedge! The lack of extensive testing & feedback was one reason we missed the problem with the Sith Speeder's mine weapon not working properly in single player mode. (And partially my fault for not setting a proper testing schedule) The whole thing with Beta testing is to work out any problems/improvements the vehicle/player model/map may have/need and reporting them back to the author. Beta's are by their very nature UNFINISHED! I will be selecting Beta testers primarily from those who have already proven themselves good at this work and perhaps a couple of other new people to replace anyone who didn't send feedback (Most people have good intentions but it's following through that counts) - but when we announce Beta testing AND ONLY THEN - you are welcome to put your names up This is all really to ensure the final release is the best we can possibly make it and as professional as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Yeah, lol I already have 6 beta testers to my snow speeder, and only 2 of them told me about stuff, and I already knew those. Kinda make beta testing worthless, but meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Killa Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Originally posted by imyourfather Everyone wants to be a beta tester I wonder how much would really give monsoontide feedback... I would if I was the beta tester I always report back to the author about their mods if i beta it.. I mostly beta maps though... @Monsoon Models are looking nice (everyone says that) I was wondering though.. On the dewback. Will you be making it so that the player models legs don't cut into the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsoontide Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 There's absolutley NOTHING that can be done about the positions the riders are in on the vehicles until Raven FINALLY release the source code and people can change the player animations - though apparently that's not a piece of cake and can easily cause a boat load of problems - SIGH. So really I'm either stuck with the riders looking silly or I can just hide them which also looks silly. As far as Vader's Tie Fighter goes, there's already a model in the models/ships folder (Or one of the other folders) - all someone has to do is convert it into a vehicle. Not really my territory - I'm only working on stuff that doesn't already exist (Well, mostly anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge2211 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Nym: Originally posted by monsoontide when we announce Beta testing AND ONLY THEN - you are welcome to put your names up It's my experience that the first question anyone asks in a showcase thread is, "When will it be released?" and the second question is, "Can I beta test?" Usually the hopeful tester has no interest in helping out the modder, he or she just wants to get their paws on the map/model sooner. Let Monsoon work, he's doing a great job, he'll ask for you all to beta when he needs it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Killa Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I think there would be less conflict if we would just wait for monsoon to ask for beta testers instead of flooding his WIP thread with "I want to beta for your mod" posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Beta has become another word for getting the file before everybody else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
