Thanks silent_sniper. I would be interested in vehicles or map objects, but I think we are pretty much set on the weapon models.

Here is a few updates on the mod. Some map terrain shots and the Mat 49 SMG skin I am currently working on.

Delta

Ho Chi Minh Trail

Trenches

Mat 49

AKS47

Screenshots with properly lit maps are much more aesthetically pleasing.

Nice screens. That tunnel looks a bit cramped tho. Unless you specifically want to create an area of restricted movement, you should be able to have at least 2 players move side by side without bumping into each other too much, and be able to jump without hitting your head on the ceiling.

The tunnels were very small. Click this link http://www.manchu.org/movies/theater.htm and select Chu Chi Tunnels from the side menu to view a movie of some Vietnamese tunnels.

Here are some pictures of Vietnamese tunnels.

You are confusing real life with a video game.

As I said, if there is a gameplay reason to make them small, then go for it (the ducts in RTCW mp_beach is a fine example of this). Otherwise, make them so they play smoothly, and realism be damned.

edit:
It is also worth remembering that an ET player bounding box is a lot less flexible than a real human.

Okay, are you sure you want to use that mat 49?

Have you checked the poly count? Just by looking at it I see a shit load of redundant polies.

Also, I’ve noticed with ET (and most other q3based games) that the weapons look stretched in the depth. The kinda have a funny long look. Sof2 fixed this by having a ‘foreshorten’ value. The depth axis was scaled with this value. It looks much better then, problem is you’ll have to scale each frame in your model editor. Doing that would probably require a new animtion system. Imo the foreshorten effect looks better than vanilla weapons, or orthografic viewing (Battlefield style.)

Oh yeah Torchy (you know me as Stan :o), this mod does look nice.

(KillerKind) #193

No question about it.

I actually prefer to use a some what high res model during the skinning process. Poly count (LOD) can be reduced for in game view models with little effort.

(Wreckless) #194

I didn’t realize how much progress your team was makeing from the post over at TMT. What you all have done so far looks amazing, keep it up b/c I wanna play this mod ASAP.

(KillerKind) #197

Your images are not working, Dave.

I think there should probably be a 56k warning on this thread.

(mohaa_rox) #198

here’s a reskinned tokarev

(Fusen) #199

very nice =D I hope your not gonna show us everything your making cos then there wont be any surprices when its finally released

Notice how the grip on the tok has pretty shapr highlights, but the body doesn’t? This looks a bit strange, I’d suggest highlighting the edges a bit more. It’ll make it look much nicer.

Are you sure you don’t want to optimize the mat 49? Atleast chop some off and put them in the hand model so you get better deformations for anims. (if you are going to have animated hands)

Aks47 clip skin doesn’t follow the shape of the clip. Add some highlights, it will make it look much better!
