very simple model request

(Flippy) #1

hey all…

im trying to make a “blueprint document” model for a team_CTF_redflag in my map…
but i cant get it to work… parts of the textures are fucked etc…

could someone model me a very simple document?
i need a simple squared document (a square plane (or very thin mesh) will do, but it would be cool if it had like it’s corners folded over a bit, like it’s old and weared out :stuck_out_tongue: )

i need it to be a blueprint ofcourse, so i want the sides and backside all blue:

and im making the blueprint myself, so you can use this “test texture” for the front: (its the same size to my blueprint texture)

(in theory i would simply switch this test texture image with my own image when it’s done and it will work?)

if you would do this i would be very pleased :slight_smile:

thnx in advance…

What do you want: a texture with a blueprint on it, a model of a paper which you can assign the blueprint texture to or both?

EDIT: As for a texture: Schaffer made a very good concept for a blueprint-like command map. Just look for his profile and send him an e-mail or PM.

The image itself.

i want a model to assign the texture to.

as i said a simple square mesh/plane/brush whatever its called will do, but it would be cool if it had a bit more detail, like folder over corners or something…

the textures i supplied can be used as textures in the model (so they work ingame, paths right etc…) and i will simply switch this texture with my own (under the same name, whatever that might be)

I think I have seen a blueprint document before.
Not sure on which map.
I guess one of ifurita’s maps.
Not sure although.

There is already a document model (In ET Beach map for example and caen too as I remember correct).
So you could also take a look there.
I think it’s an RTCW asset but it’s used so many times.

hmm… but how do i get my own blueprint texture on the standard docs models…?

remapshader?

but im guessing the whole docs have a single texture so using remapshader wont really help alot… it will simply paste over my texture, unaligned etc…

also, how can i see which model uses which textures?

here come two short and confusing receipes:

  • model it in radiant
  • put it into a hollow caulk box (like a sky box, but everywhere caulk)
  • throw in an info_player_thingy (cannot remember the exact name)
  • compile to bsp (no vis, no light)
  • convert to ase
  • load ase in NPherno’s MD3 Compiler and save as md3 (maybe you need to adjust the texture paths in NPherno’s MD3 Compiler)
  • done :slight_smile:

the more sophisticated version is as follows (less material chunks)

  • model it in radiant
  • put it into a hollow caulk box (like a sky box, but everywhere caulk)
  • throw in an info_player_thingy (cannot remember the exact name)
  • compile to bsp (no vis, no light)
  • convert to ase
  • create a new map and put in the ase model
  • put it into a hollow caulk box
  • throw in an info_player_thingy
  • compile to bsp
  • convert to ase
  • load ase in NPherno’s MD3 Compiler and save as md3 (maybe you need to adjust the texture paths in NPherno’s MD3 Compiler)
  • done :slight_smile:

sounds complicated, but once you get used to the process it is pretty easy… basically you just create and compile the ase twice.

Open it with notepad, but make sure you don’t save. The model mostly consists of binary data, but the shader names are readable.

thanks both

cooperhawks’s idea might be best for now because the model is very simple… ill search for converting to ase… and tell you here when its not working :stuck_out_tongue:

Check this out mate.

If it doesn’t look to good or anything, I can probably model one for you, this is not too hard.
