OJP's very first custom weapon


UDM

Recommended Posts

...is 70% ready.

What's left to do:

 

- finish up barrel textures

- export into md3

- make it work in-game

 

I can get the barrel textures done in an hour, but if anyone's willing to help me export and get the thing working in-game, please, don't hesitate to do so :)

I was thinking this could be a very high level weapon. Prolly require like somewhere around 30XP just to use it, and it will slow you down like crazy when you equip it

 

Of course, the pro simply involves being able to massacre anything that stands in your path

 

I've finished the barrel textures, here are some screenshots of the whole thing:

Anyone who can hold one of those monsters with one hand is a real badass =p

 

Yup I did the texturing myself. I tried to make the textures as sharp as possible. IMHO it's the first model I've ever successfully UV mapped, so I'm going to put in that extra mile of effort for it. I think the textures still could be a little sharper though, so I'll see what I can do

 

I'll prolly override the repeater to test it out. I hope this can come as a weapon on its own though. Ensi was actually working on code that separated weapons into classes ie. melee, pistol, rifle, heavy, explosives, rather than the individual weapons selection that we have now. I hope someone can finish it, so I can work on other weapons later on. I have the mesh for a DH17 pistol and Force Pike (this one took me only 15 mins lol) done, and they're much easier to UV map than the rotary blaster. I'd really like to get them into the game along with the other weapons that we're planning to implement

 

Just imagine this line in OJP's features:

 

"Featuring over 50 weapons from Star Wars lore!"

I thought that in Quake 3, the machine gun rotates when it spins? Is there any way, then, to at least get the projectiles to fire out of each barrel?

 

IDK, I'm stumped at this point because I've never had any experience importing/exporting to games before. It'd be better if someone could work with me to do the necessary procedures for that, but I'm not really going to hold my breath, sit around and wait

Oh and this is the third custom gun for OJP, the first was thrillhouse's geonosian blaster and the second was the DE-10 that we got permission to use.

 

I have nothing against RPG elements in OJP, I have something against RP elements in OJP. To me, there's a difference.

Not really. I don't know exactly. But you can probably figure it out by checking what files are used for our clone rifle. I think you need to export your file into the .md3 and the .glm format. You might be do both from 3d max. Alternatively, you can convert a static .md3 into a .glm using Ravensoft's md3view that comes with the SDK.

in the past i could have helped you more buti have since lost my trial for milkshape and the other free programs dont really have the import export options i need. ok first since we haven't added any completely new guns to the game your going to need to replace one for now till i gess its coded in

1. in your program import the gun glm that your over writing.

2. next import your model

3. size your model to the appropriate size, that move your model so that the handle is on the origin.

4. then just delete the the old model from it. move the efx tag to the end of the barrel

5. export it to glm

congratulations you just did 3rd person view for the gun

 

for the first person view its basically the same thing just you import it into the various md3's and re export it the md3's. Pk3 it all up and your good to go.
