Wall/Tower Checkpoint thing....

by Alex Loren · in General Discussion · 08/14/2002 (2:08 pm) · 31 replies

I have started working on the wall/tower thing www.garagegames.com/mg/projects/realmwars/view.php?qid=286.

And I have two questions, is the banner suposed to be an animated .dts file? And is there a ladder script so people can climb up the ladder? If some one could answer the two questions it would be helpfull. I'll be posting screen shots of my work on the wall/tower thing in this topic when I get enough done...

The flag/banner would probably be better as an animated dts yeah.

If you can get someone working on the texture I'll also do the flag.

Here is what I have done so far,

As you can see the faces are low so I can add more stuff, any suggestions, comments, ect. would be nice.

@Pascal,
When you get the textures done just send them to my e-mail address, and what way should the wind be blowing and how strong should it be?

If i may i got a few little points...

If you could try to make the tower a bit more cone shaped just a little. Give the wall on top a bit more boddy it will look more solid...

other than that it looks great.. As soon as i have the model i'll make the textures...

Here are the changes that I've made so far.

From looking at the picture you can see that I've increesed the faces by 24. If you can see any thing else that needs to be change let me know. I have yet to get started with the Flag model because the max2dts exporter is not working with MAX, I hope to get this fixed within a day or two.

Nice job alex .. maybe you would want to raise the littler wall up a little more ... maybe it would be a little more proportianate. (hah ... if only I had a spell checker) lol.

If I raise up the little wall any more you won't be able to shoot over it.

Pascal do you want me to send you the .dif or .map file? And I'm having a hell of a time animating the flag, so it might take a while before it's done.

Alex, we really need both I think (at this time we need source for all submissions so we can properly credit everyone and be able to alter anything we get to fit the rest).

Phil,
I wasn't saying I wouldn't get the flag in I was just saying it will take a little longer because of the animation.

Pascal,
I need a little more information on how you want the flag to be animated. Do you want it just to blow straight forward? Strong or Slight wind? Crosswind or Headwind? I'll need these questoins answerd before I can finish on the DTS.

Pascal,
I've sent you the Tower and the Flag by e-mail about a week ago and I have yet to hear any thing from you about it. If you didn't get the e-mail tell me and I'll send it again (angelfire has been having some problems)

Alex, Pascal is away on vacation and will not be back for another week or so. If you like you can send the file to me to review.

I was sending the flag to Pascal to make a texture for it. And also I'm not sure if were using the animated bmp or what we were doing with the animation.

I sent it to you, but that could have been when my e-mail server was having problems and only 1 out of 5 e-mails would get to the person. Let me dig up the files on my computer and I'll send them to you.
