[mwip/WTH?]opposing Force Marine

Venmoch · March 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">NS Community! I need your help!</div> Now as many of you probably don't know I've been attempting to convert the Opposing Force marine. So far I've got it working as far as walking and any animation not involving arms. This is of course no I've got it compiled

So when compiled I opened HLMV and saw this:

<img src='http://server6.uploadit.org/files/Venmoch-LooksOk.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Like many of you I thought thats not too bad, now where are the arms?

Well I found them

Now heres where I think the problem lies.

<img src='http://server6.uploadit.org/files/Venmoch-Problem.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

I believe this could be due to NS's "Weee I'm an Airplane!" Skeleton not quite working with Opposing Forces "Parade Ground" Skeleton. Of course I could be wrong completely and have made an enormous messup but as this is my first conversion and foray into modelling I'm likely to make stupid mistakes. I still have a feeling something in the converting went wrong but if that is what went wrong I don't mind pointing out vertices isn't that boring and it'd be nice to have a prod in the right direction!

I've also put a link to the .mdl if anyone feels the need to help or you just want a good laugh because the guys arms are all messed up.

I'm also aware that there are other problems (Like the knee bends back a bit while walking but I'll try and fix them a bit later. (Oh and the neck warps a bit))

Thanks in advance!

Just move his arms in the position of the bones.

Venmoch · March 2004

Wait its that simple?

Dammit!

Jimmeh · March 2004

What Daza said, and make sure the arms are assigned to the bones correctly

CoolCookieCooks · March 2004

yeah just basically move the arms over the bones in their correct positions and it should work perfectly

Venmoch · March 2004

Please ignore me while I laugh at myself, curse at being such a nub and get round to fixing it....

Venmoch · March 2004

Woo! Arms!

Thanks Guys, I'll hopefully have this thing out the door after a bit of tweaking. I'll keep you all posted!

Dodgeh · March 2004

That model would work so well in nS hoping for a release soon.

Afterglow · March 2004

I think its Serously really cool Ven that your converting that marine, i'd like to throw up props to you for doin it. Fast question- what programs are you using to convert the model>? and how are you adding the NS anims to it>?

BlackPanther · March 2004

Could you find a higher poly marine to convert? Like one from the HD pack?

douchebagatron · March 2004

some people were wanting the old school one a while back.

LOLOL!!!11!? OMG LIEK N00B HAHA OMG!?11

I like the opposing force marine, good job. If it wasnt for brigs ub3r sk1llz id probably use it.

Venmoch · March 2004

Well, I have arms but they seem to A.) Appear through the body Armour at times and B.) The hands are messed up. Oh and the knees bend backwards when walking.

It'll just take a little editing!

Spetsnaz · March 2004

Brig's uber skills are scary. Those eyes freak me out!

I like this one. Would fit very nice along with the stukabat, that spitter and the headcrab <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

BlackPanther · March 2004

Would be a nice change to have a full HL pack done for NS.

stukabat ^_^

Necrosis · March 2004

Those bloody bips always do weird things like that.

BAshh · March 2004

if you havent fixed it yet, just rotate the bones. It'll save you the hassle of trying to rotate the arms the right way, and contrary to some's beliefs it'll work the same. gj, too dude, i always liked that marine.

Venmoch · March 2004

Well I have fixed it. It's a little bit of a "bodge-it-and-scarper" job as the NS Skeleton is slightly larger than the Op4 Mesh.

The arms look off when in any idle pose but when your running around with a LMG it looks fine. But I might just have to find some time to adjust it!

uhm...

yep

JediYoshi · March 2004

it wont work ingame, chrome + additive = :sadface:

(i don't know about that model, but I'm pretty sure it's the same one I used before)

Also, just stick to a high poly version of the HD version by AI.

Phyco · March 2004
