Here comes the "poll"ice... Ok. Will do.

Puns give me erections

Shameless quadruple post.. All he needs is sounds. Credits to Ashura for the body, Neomarz for the accessories and head.

Taking a break for now, but just a preview. The phase 1 TCW style clones are back

So two things:

I have released the DC-17 blaster pistol and it is currently awaiting approval for one. For two, Padme's pistol is a first person perspective away from being ready for release as well.

Oops, I have three things. In addition to the DC-17 blaster pistol, I'm going to make a special skin. It *should* be done by the end of the day.

Okay my lame ass decided to try to make the easy way so instead of trying to mess with the RGB I turned it off and messed with a new WhiteGlow texture that's inside the PK3. Might cause complications during gameplay but as of yet I have found none.

It worked, thank you guys for explaining this. The pistol is very complex it would seem!

Is there any easier way to guess what RGB values to type in or am I going in blind?

Did you change the RGB value of the effect in the .efx files?

I did not, use notepad for .efx?

just put them in your .pk3 and make sure that your .pk3 is loaded after assets1.pk3

 

Side flash works, the color of the bolts being shot does not change however

Usually I move some vertices around on the UV editor manually after

it uses these textures:

 

gfx/effects/bryar_frontflash.jpg

gfx/effects/bryarsideflash.jpg

 

or if you want the .efx files referencing these:

 

effects/bryar/shot.efx

effects/bryar/crackleshot.efx

effects/bryar/muzzle_flash.efx

effects/bryar/altmuzzle_flash.efx

 

hope this helps

I love you

Also do i need to rename them or just put them onto the PK3 gfx/effects folder?

In case anyone is curious; my personal strategy is cylinder projection for helmets and faces. Then for sides of flat guns project from view, then project and view for the faces on the top and bottom

Okay but for the blaster pistol, what files do I change the blaster bolts? I looked in assets and know where they are but can't find them

I have no idea where to find any of it and replacing it with Briar hasn't worked

Got bored and couldn't sleep so I ended up making Padme's pistol

Well I mostly was referring to the random chain of posts that showed up after he posted a update yesterday lol, but that's rad. 

Where are all of these people coming from

Ignore wasn't the right word to accurately describe my thoughts there. I need sleep.

You guys just don't get german sense of humor. Don't take it personally.

I just ignore it and use it as motivation. He has a point about the UVs on that clone . They were pretty rough. But the point is I've got this. And most of the time what I do is give a basic protection and make temp textures so that the weapon previews aren't just in solid viewmode.

Anyway, I finished the DC-17 makeover. All that's left to do is to get the damn sounds working

I feel like I should give you my two cents, so here I go:

 

 

 

Sweet, that may be the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me

I'm going to say my piece on this for my thread once and for all. I appreciate constructive criticism and feedback. I can handle it. But, I don't mind people who porch because that takes some effort as well. For people like me who just want to casually mod and not dedicate days and days on end, that's a perfectly acceptable alternative. Just don't claim it as your own. Furthermore, there's a difference between constructive criticism and just being a jerk. I'm not calling anybody out on that, but I feel like it was necessary to say that. So yes, I casually work on improving my UV skills. Casually. Very very casually. Because now I have a job and a girlfriend and I don't have the time for this that I used to. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's why I'm not going to shit out gorgeous models like Ashura. I do what I can, and sometimes I just want to get previews out there. I will specify from now on when I feel like it's a finished product and not just a work-in-progress placeholder texture.

Maybe use Fraps?

Definitely would be a labor intensive project, don't worry I won't commit to it yet. Construction season ain't over yet so I got a few busy weeks ahead of me.

I don't know, just something about the background image isn't tickling my pickle.

Regardless, they do serve their purpose!

If you allowed modders to use it on their own projects, I would.

Might give that a try then, it will be quite a process but I may try. For now, finishing up the DC-17 Pistol.

Well personally, I think the way to do it would be to have the characters facing to the right in a head and shoulders portrait.

But you are correct, that would be a lot of remaking icons and I hadn't considered it.

Also sorry to derail for a second, but aren't Death Watch technically Separatist?
