i think the tools are nice, but the texturing needs work, they are just big green sides on it.

Thanx Yandros but not quite what I had in mind, and I´v already searched throug your Object´s for any usefull textures :sweat: , I was thinking more like this whitout any bumps or shadows :eww:

Copy and paste some of the rest of the texture over the stickers, it might look blotchy but it beats push sticks

Nice to see new models. :thumb: I've been making another load but i shan't be releasing this last bunch until my new FM is finished.

I've abandoned Lower Featherstone and the Museum for now as i'm working on a much better mission. It's looking very nice so far if i may say so! :cheeky:

Time to check-out ThiefMissions for these new FM's, Woot!

BTW, got T2X from PC Gamer a week ago. :wot:

Great to see you, sluggs! Wow, sluggs and Targa show up at TEG the same day! :cheeky:

Ottoj55 on 5/8/2005 at 02:51

sluggs, pm me when you have the models, i can host them, schwaa really isn't doing much new hosting these days. and check it out, i'm running a contest for newbies, woot indeed.

Ottoj55 on 5/8/2005 at 04:08

thanks to the sudden reapperance of targa, some nice tuts by schwaa, and a pm to shadowspawn that really just solidified things in my head, i solved by combat bot problem, and boy am i glad.

meshbld doesn't love you.

there, thats the basic problem.

or to more specific. when building static objects its common to build them with multiple parts that are combined. this is old hat so to speak. meshes are different.

the problem is that the legs, the arms and the main body consisted of multiple parts, these parts were combined and exported in "logical" groups. that is, the body of the robot, the boiler door plates, and the pelvis area are a "logical" group. these combined areas were sent to lithunwrap to be mapped for a texture, and then textured up. viola, a single textured mainbody piece that can be reimported to anim8or. NO, the single new piece when returned to anim8or is somehow NOT the same as the pieces that were texture mapped on their own.

now, probably unrelated, the "bad" parts all lack the smooth angle data, so deleting them i was able to produce a robot with feet, hips and gun barrels, the "good" parts.

here you see the "good" parts in action trying to kill me

so now i have to rebuild the "bad" parts, and check them one at a time as i complete my kill bot. but its good to know that i've solved the problem after nearly 8 months of waiting.
