Damn thats one awesome Dragon Admiral, the time spent working on those wings was well worth it, they look great! Good news Raven, I think I really understand UV mapping now, heres a preview of an example of the model's map: As you can see its a mess atm, but I'm excited cause I managed to isolate the back and front sides like I wanted to! Don't use this since I used
Thank you kind sir :>! The blank texture/skin you are asking about is the UV Map Unwrapping that Kemoosi mentioned, I attempted it yesterday just to see if I understood the concept of doing it and I sorta got it to work. Once I work on the wings I think I could make that for you so you could do some skins for it. As for the wings I'm not exactly sure how to do them either, should I do them with a thickness or just a thin layer for the skins/textures? The base of the wings look
Did some more work on the "Draconian" today, and I gotta say I've learned quite a bit of stuff since I started doing it. The changes I made today was adding the hands, although I don't know why the goddamn thumb is giving me so much problems, also changed the legs a bit and the feet. Oh I also opened up the mouth but that needs some work too. I need some input though since I'm kind of undecided on the proportions, should I "buff" it up more? Is it too skinny? Too fat? Anything yo
Another sucker with a single core here as well xD. I don't mind waiting at all for a new game, the only thing that would make me sad is that I won't be able to test my own XML modifications as easily, so I guess I'll have to do various XML changes at a time xD. Or maybe I could do a really small map just for testing purposes, or loading games with modified XML files would update the loaded game (idk if this is even possible). Regardless of anything, looking forward to the 24th :D
I haven't really done any complex UV wrapping yet, the only time I did one was following a tutorial to add a Pepsi label to a can. Every other time I've attempted to unwrap something I run into some kind of problem, but I guess this will serve as motivation to actually learn how to do it effectively. Good thing Blender has many many tutorials on just about anything the program has, so learning it shouldnt be so hard. Admiral your minotaur head is coming along nicely, it looks so clean
New info woot, almost at the finish line gooo! [quote]Today me and Bruno are incorporating the various special abilities into monsters, NPCs, etc. [/quote] If possible and you guys happen to have a break, could you drop some info on a couple of examples of these abilities XML? If its possible to do some in Beta 4 I know a few people would like to know how to do their own [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Heres the smooth version of my model, for some reason I prefer working on it on the non-smooth version. I also have no idea how to make the sub-parts for the scales or something else, but if I knew I'd definetly do it that way so when you design units you could have more variety. I worked on it a bit more today and added some crests on the head and back, I'll add them all the way down to the tail cuz I th
My thoughts are "whats the big deal?", in MW2 you gun down marines, rangers, seals in multiplayer when your on the opposing team so? Also if you're going to take that kind of stance on killing in a video game you should probably be against violence in general, because it seems a bit hypocritical to be all mad because you can play as Taliban and kill coalition troops and on the other hand not mind when you play games that you constantly gun down "taliban like" opponents. At the end of the day
WoW that is awesome, I love how you did the wings Keemossi. I'd vote for Keemossi's to be in :P. How do I know how much poly the game can handle? I don't even know how to check how much poly's my model is composed of :s... I'm using Blender 2.49 (which I love) and yeah the game's 3D assets dont seem to be high poly. Also there was something bothering me immensly about the pic i posted, and I finally noticed it didn't have a tail lol so I worked on it a bit more and added that :D.
Multi-Level maps so we can put some archers in walls! (And someone could make an XCom mod too!)
I suggested to add a button for this, could be named "Auto Move units" and it would move all units that had a set waypoint. This kind of button is available in other games and I think its pretty handy, because there might be units in the Fog of war that are discovered by automoves, but you cant really react after you pressed End turn.
Warning: Another horrible 3D model inc :s This isn't quite a 15 min model.. more like 1.5 hours and its still a looooooooong way from looking like the draconian in that picture o.O. Its got claws in its feet at least :D (Sorta).
I wonder if we will have to figure all this out by ourselves eventually or if Stardock will drop some pointers eventually when they dont have to worry about the release date. Anyway, I like your ideas for traits, I might even borrow a few when it comes to making my own! Giving an item every turn would be funny, but if it worked hell I wouldnt mind clicking that every turn xD. I know I tried to summon an unit every turn but that didn't work :( Tried modifying the sentinel trait to inst
[quote]I saw that with the Book of Experience item. Also the Potion of Experience. We know these add experience. Could it be possible to do: Unit GiveExperience 1.0 1 For your ability?[/quote] I *think* I tried that same line of code and it didn't work. It could've been similar if not the same and the problem I think is the way we want to use is not the correct way. I
Hey look its a 15 min centaur! I know its pretty sad, I just did it without sketches or anything, thus why its so bad! But hey it might motivate someone to outshine me (as if that were hard lol) and do some models :P Now for a 15 min draconian :S...
This is a very interesting thread with very nice ideas, I'll contribute a few of my own as well even though I have no knowledge if it would be hard to implement. First of all, I like several specific ideas mentioned here, like having a zone of control near units that dont allow other units to move more than 1 adjacent square. This is used in other games like Romance of Three Kingdoms XI, Medieval II, and some others. The other thing I liked is attacks of opportunity, I'm not sure if I un
Last thing I remember reading on Hotseat was that it wasn't going to be included for release. I don't know post release though but they would rather work on other areas. Regarding dedicated servers I have no idea, don't think I've seen it mentioned before.
I'm worried about an alien invasion more than I'm worried about Elemental... Just think about it, we might be the caviar of some far away civilization and they could be plotting ways to serve us right this very moment! What If they want to serve us up while we are alive and they have a knack for stuffing their food... THAT worries me.
I did a couple of forts, which if I ever mod I'd like to add this as a buildable tile by pioneers outside cities. First the small fort: Now for the Big Fort: <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8088480/fort%20-%20front.JPG" alt="" width="731" heig
I tried doing this with Visual C# Express 2010 (free version) and I couldnt get the "View Designer" to work. Theres a toolbar named View Designer but its grayed out (If I right click it doesnt pop up there). I did manage to get the XSD file, but afterwards I couldn't find a way to get the designer to work. Now I honestly don't know what the XSD is for, I figure its for more advanced users, I'm just a beginner and don't really know much about VS at all. But I figured I would let y
The URL was chaged to the following: http://elementalwarofmagic.wikidot.com/ Since the beta is almost done it was changed to the game's title.
Yes please, I always use the terrain info and if it gets saved that would be 1 less click! Also dont get rid of it because sometimes forest tiles are not obvious and I usually need to do manual pathing because auto walking the pc runs all over the worse terrain and takes longer so terrain info is handy :>.
There is also a Wiki page for elemental and you can find it here, and right now its open to everyone who wants to add any guides to it, or at least links to guides. I've been gradually updating here and there, a few more peeps to do the same and the wiki should be up to date in no time. Also it isn't that hard to add stuff to it, I never did it before prior to this game and found its quite simple, although I'm still not sure how to work around formatting stuff. Anyways you can find it
Yeah looking up non-champion units is a bit of a pain and I end up forgetting to move them many times. Asides from the ideas the OP suggests, there should also be a button that makes units that have a set waypoint automove, instead of having to press the end turn button to get them to move. A graphical way of seeing your armies and non-champion troops would be handy as well. The kingdom tree could be used for this, I was thinking maybe below the cities there could be a little grid tha
Shining Force 3, all 3 scenarios Warsong, Ogre Battle some Fire Emblem'ish game would be awesome too! Ohhh ohhh a sandbox game like Dragon Force too!!
