Castlevania Mod - Plans/Summary

[Botdra]

Would love to see that for sure. I always found those enemies scary, especially in the Haunted Mansion Gamecube and Resident Evil 4. Great enemies.

 

And yeah, Soma was my request. He's not exactly the most fitting in the universe of Castlevania, but Aria of Sorrow is definitely one of my favorite game in the series. Just started Dawn of Sorrow as well, loving it! Great work tobe.

Ye I like to have a hollow man!

Hey I built a new gun system for this mod. That included holly cross, crossbow (that's from NDA mod), and some new guns like, holly water, garlic, coffin etc etc.

[AshuraDX]

is anybody feeling like texturing my flaming skull ? I'm to lazy to do so atm

[tobe_one]

I think the texture is perfect already. But if you need another one I can skin it.

[AshuraDX]

I was referring to the fire part

and Ithink my texture could definatly use some touching up

[Botdra]

You guys are pretty rad. I come home and see we have a new weapons system, new enemy, I'm happy.

Tobe, mind filming a video of the system in action?

[tobe_one]

I can upload the file if you want. Do you know any good free file sharing site? File Front is dead to me I can't load the page..

AshuraDX, is the fire part a model or effect?

MediaFire?

[CaptainChar]

I use mediafire for all my hosting, since filefront auto purges after 30 days, anyways this is a lot of progress Also Bot, ask Last-Wish from JKfiles, he made a Peeping Eye model for us

Id also suggest to anyone unfamiliar with the series to check out the Castlevania wiki, theres a lot of lore and monsters mostly from mythos to use, Zombies, werewolves, etc, another thing I considered is, we could use the Medusa head over the training probs, and replace the laser bolt with something more "magical"

[tobe_one]

Ok here is the gun file

I have a medusa head that I am trying to replace the sentry, but I remember there is some problem but I forgot what was it lol..

The medusa head isn't good for the training prob since it will keep turning around.

model , will be combined with effects to make it more believeable , I might retouch the modeled part though but I'm busy with school stuff atm

[CaptainChar]

Ive also considered Harpies, since they're used a lot in the Castlevania games except that would require animated wing animations

With @@ChalklYne working on Death, we may be able to adapt that pretty easily.

[Botdra]

What would the likelihood be of having a large Lords of Shadow/God of War type encounter with a boss? Obviously the mechanics would need to be modified as it would be far to complex to do climbing the enemy methodically etc, but maybe change the mechanics of the battle to work in JA. I'm just thinking how awesome it would be to fight a giant enemy 100 feet tall, heh.

[ChalklYne]

Ill take Death, his anims, getting him ingame and functioning, and I also wanted to do a slight variant this guy and his anims and ingames if it's cool...

 

 

as It was one of my fav's and i'd like to see it operate in 3d space.

[CaptainChar]

I hate to say it, but Sonic Adventure 2 had the basis that would work in JA, so say you can climb ledges in the one JA mod, I think lugormod was it? anyways you have the boss in a coliseum like are, with platforming around it, it can still hit you reguardless of wear you are say, eg Lords of shadow's ogre boss

 

Id like to see that sword enemy,

Honestly man anything you want to contribute at this point is welcome. We hardly have any foes/NPC's so the more the merrier!

That might be doable, but we'd need to modify some animations for just that one boss to make sure his attacks are directional and have a predictable windup to them. It could work though.

[tobe_one]

That sword boss is cool. I skined the Dante model to look like Alucard.

[CaptainChar]

Dante was the original Alucard model as well Tobe, but I assume this one is functioning

[tobe_one]

Yes can somebody make that Alucard model move..

And here is a new weapon, chain ball.

Ahh someone make a fully working whip as well please :blink:

[ChalklYne]

fully functioning whip

 

easiest way is to wait until psykosith releases his new skeleton. Then we can model the whip to his hand with the saber tag at the end of it for collision, and make the whip out of constrained tails and nulls. Then just run the animations in softimage and let the whip animate itself. compile and you will need a .sab for the invisible saber at the end of the whip. problem is, the current jka anims don't really swing correctly for a whip. but, im sure we can pick and choose which anims are working decently and create our own saber style for it via animations.cfg.  any other way i can think of requires coding. tbh... even this way, the anims will be janky as hell i.e. saber locks and transitions and stuff like that.

 

heres what i suggest...

 

have the whip be a melee weapon. then you only have to animate like 2 or 3 animations for him with his sword as his primary weapon. then the whip would essentially just be a part of his hand with the l_hang tag bone at the end of it for collision. Any other ways would either require coding, or look kinda dumb and not be worth the amount of effort. Melee weapons the best bet for a whip.

 

just dont try using 2 handed lightning with it, or a bolt will be coming from the end of the whip XD

[tobe_one]

Sounds cool, go for it!

Another Belmont? I need someting new to skin

[CaptainChar]

I say make a Shanoa Tobe, cept the model would be hard choice Imo

 

the low poly model was the one I was trying to aquire before

 

 

 

 

[Botdra]

Thanks for all your work Tobi, these look great!

Chalk, does this mean you can do it then? That would be amazing if we could pull this off in a practical way that works.

I'd seriously love to have a Gabriel model from the new Lords of Shadow series, if possible. Dunno if Chalk would be down for that but if not it may have to wait. Would you guys want him in the game?

[tobe_one]

Yes I want Gabriel in the game. I am just playing Lord of Shadow right now

One thing I don't understand about his weapon is, how the chain fit in that small space lol.

 

Omegasigma do you have the Shanoa model?? I will skin it if so. It looks great!
