MacD Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 Well, I finally did it! I got my battle droid in the game! And for you who shout: "No, that cannot be, he is mistaken!" I have something to make you say "these ARE the droids we're looking for."! roger_roger! As you can tell, I'm quite exited; this is my first actual model for a game (appart from a failed NWN test character and my tonfa saber) and I think it's turning out quite well. But there's still a bit I'm gonna do before I release it: -make a good set of skins (presently it's working with two crappy test maps) -weight the fingers -get all the sounds together (I've only got a push sound, the "you're under arrest" and two "roger-roger"'s: any help would be appreciated) Anyway, I'll be looking up those commmands for 3rd person view and changing the viewpoint to get some real screenshots...I just had to post this one asap And on a final note I've got to say thanks to all the people who have given advice over here!
BucMan55 Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 All I can say is great work. I assume you'll be doing a yellow and red droid?? And if you do bot support, it would be nice if they were regular gunners(with force speed, jump, push, and pull).... ANy chance of a Super Battle Droid???
PIo Koon Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 well..id assume he would keep that tan...and for CTF skins..blue and red u could also make another skin urself..just recolor..like Yellow Green Orange(NO PURPLE!! =OD)
Eklin Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Wow! Excellent! From that screen, the skin does look like it needs a little work, but good job anyways.

MacD Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 Thanks for the support, guys! And thanks to Anavel Goto, I'll put up some more screenshots soon Also, someone put up a couple of sounds on this forum recently...two things: who where you (cos I'm gonna use them, and I want to give credit where it's due) and secondly...do you have any more? Footsteps, death sounds....just have a look in the sounds/char/modelname/misc directory in the assets.pk3 to see which I need. The help would most definitly be appreciated and make for a cooler model to be released sooner
inbredyokel Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Awsome. Don't forget the rust-colored geonosis battle droid skin. I'm afraid footsteps can't be changed though, they're hard coded Something we discovered while doing maw.
MacD Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 Here's another screenie: Take that! As for skins...well, that starts today...first up is just a TPM skin...the commander, with the yellow skullcap. We'll just see from there BTW, I was wondering if maybe the sounds.cfg could also add a line pointing to sound/player/footsteps in the assets0.pk3...would that help? I mean, it already points to sound/char/misc...did you guys also try fscking around with that? I mean, there's quite a bit I can do for the misc sounds, but I want more, more, MORE! Mwhahahahaha! Uh...well, you know what I mean Anyway, first up is skinning, then weighting (of hands, for example ), then sounds and botsupport. Hell, I'm just happy to see my model in game It's just so cool to see something you've made hacking and slashing BTW, I did say this was my first model, right? Well, any help/tips/whatever is really appreciated! But leave the requests for later, when I've got the basic model done
Matariel Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 it looks like a great model, but screw multiplayer for now, make a mod that swaps all the stormtroopers in th SP game for battledroids!! ive wanted to hack the crap out of those dudes ever since ep1!!
King Jezuz Pie Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 I'm not quite sure what you mean MacD, but changing the footstep spunds to any others doesn't work somehow, no matter what you do...
MacD Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 I seem to remember something about a model which did manage to replace the footstep sounds, but by doing so, removed other footstep sounds...or something like that. Or maybe that's from the NWN discussion somewhere else Anyway, some more screenshots...I'm sorry about the quality, they seem a little dark, but that will just have to do: http://macd.netfirms.com/r1.jpg http://macd.netfirms.com/r2.jpg http://macd.netfirms.com/r3.jpg http://macd.netfirms.com/r4.jpg http://macd.netfirms.com/r5.jpg http://macd.netfirms.com/r6.jpg http://macd.netfirms.com/r7.jpg http://macd.netfirms.com/r8.jpg And now I'm off to skin a cat...uh, battle droid

ALIEN_JL Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Hmm... Jedi Battle Droids With electro mechanic force powers... ?
Eklin Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Your fingers are too straight. It doesn't look like he's gripping his lightsaber at all.
Twisted Vertex Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 To brighten those bad boys up, run them through photoshop and do a brightess/ contrast.
Anavel Gato Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Schweeeeeeet MacD!!!! I'll look for some sounds tonight.
Grafox Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Originally posted by musashi122 To brighten those bad boys up, run them through photoshop and do a brightess/ contrast. He actually has a point. Anyways, can't wait to get my hands on this!
Anavel Gato Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Instead of changing the brightness and contrast I usually create a layer on top of my layer skins that is completely black and change the opacity of that layer. That way you can change the opacity (which is pretty much the brightness) after you've tested it in-game a lot of times. With changing the brightness and contrast it's less easy to go back because you either apply it to the flattened image or the individual layers.
MacD Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 Thanks, Anavel, but we're talking about the screenshots And it's too late; I'd rather work on the model than tweak the shots Oh, Eklin...please read my posts. It says something about hands...

remark 666 Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 model is good but skin needs work well done mate, you're on your way ^_^
