Map Object Requests Thread

RoadMaster · March 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">for all you mappers who need map objects</div> Okay mappers this may be your chance to get that special item you wanted to make your level the best it can be. A group of modellers may be formed which will pump out map models for you mappers to use to make your levels more dynamic. This is not player/weapon models. This is more like chairs, cameras, etc...

I created this thread for you mappers to post what you think would be good for us modellers to create, or what you may need for your levels. I can't assure you that your idea will be used, or that this group will be formed at all.... but if it is it is likely we will take ideas from this thread... and then use it to make these models available to you, the mappers. There is another thread in the modellers forum at the moment asking for modellers to gather for this... so if you fall into that category feel free to check that out too.

So feel free to start posting your ideas for map objects, and we'll see what we can do.

Mappers in general need a ns model pack. Make cool stuff and put it in a zip file. then release it as nsmodelpack.zip. Have lots of models that fit into the theme of ns. Make lots of models!

Gimpy_Doodly_Doo · March 2003

I dont think you can make transparent textures in models but you can just make one as part of the map and not have to make a model.
P.S. I have not seen any aliens movies in a long time so i think you are talking about tubes with green goo in them.

Nodes that are in use, eg with heavy duty welders or something plugged into them
hanging infestation, possibly with a blowing in the wind animation

RoadMaster · March 2003

oh I like the hanging infestation idea.... I might do that myself if I get the time. Other idea that has popped into my head are things like spent kharra eggs... like open eggsacks laying around... but that might confuse players into shooting map objects instead of real aliens <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Can someone make me hanging chains, with hooks on the end (like in Alien where that dude gets slaughtered). With a well done swaying animation they would look much more realistic then the alternative - a func_pendulum. As Half-Life does not yet support alpha mapped skins, you would not be able to model the 'holes' in the chain links (unless you individually crafted them with polygons, which is out of the question). The best way would be to make the long chain look sort of knobbly, and then have a good skin which sort of conveyed the detailed shape of the links. I'll also post this request in the modelling forum.

Gimpy_Doodly_Doo · March 2003

This should be webbed in both modeling and mapping forums. Yes chains would be really cool I could use some of them myself. This is a really good idea RoadMaster.

This topic needs more exposure. I know I speak for a lot of mappers when I say that models make for great detail when polies are getting kind of high.

I just don't have ideas for these kinds of things, unfortunately.

Rozdower · April 2003

gerenic hologram models , hte the system offline one in holoroom (cant remeber if thats a model or not but oh well)

Black_Dog · April 2003
