posticon Greetings from the CK

Hi emoticon like the new site and specially the VTM files and mods, excellent and high quality stuff. Just goes to show Vamp still has a dedicated modding/mapping community even after all these years.

I'll post a link officially when I finally get my own site resources back together, but untill then I'll have to post it in the CK forum as a temporary measure.
Its about due for an update anyway, I havent actually done any updating since the last PC upgrade, so all the CK website resources are actually on an older HD which was removed.

Anyway, enough of my nattering for now,

Dem.

Hey Cl0wn,
Love those new Aliens and Marines!!! They are some really detailed models.

Did you acquire or import one of them from the AVP2 game? It looks identical to the "Drone" or was it just really close attention to detail emoticon

I acctually imported them from a UT 2004 Aliens mod. I assume the creator of the Unreal mod imported them from another game or made them himself. The marines were based on some pictures and made from bits and pieces of other models and some original fabrication.

Re: Greetings from the CK

All in all, those Aliens and Marines are really impressive, it might just be worth the bother of "asking" everyone at the CK to get them lol

Anyway, I hate to be a pain, but Ihave a sort of request... and you did a really awesome job of the Demortia skin so I know you would do a great job of this one, thats if you have the time emoticon

I tried to mess about with the "Pirafee" skin ( which is the official character skin of one of our CK members ) because of recent storyline events, her particular character, under certain circumstances, morphs or transforms into a Wraith-like entity.
What I did was, add an upgrade which took the basic un-upgraded model, and made the textures ghostly transparent.
Lets just say, in theory it was a brilliant idea, but in practice, it didnt turn out so well. My skill lies with mapping though so I'm not really that good with skins ( as well as being short on spare time ).

So I was wondering if you would be able to create an upgrade thats like a wraith based on the original Pirafee skin ( no need to create the whole thing though as Ratz is quite happy with it as it is, plus creating only the upgrade would save a lot of time and work )

I tried simply adding the original Wraith model but it goes all warped and horrible ( I would guess its because of the skeleton, or bones or whatever they are )
Something like the upper part of the Pirafee model, but the legs and lower torso trailing off into a wraith-like tail that emits ghostly vapours ( I guess like a Genie kind of thing ) while the whole model itself is ghostly transparent but it would unmistakably resemble the identity of the Pirafee model.

Anyway, thanks for listening, if you have other projects in the works, thats fine emoticon but if you ever feel like tackling this one then let me know emoticon

Re: Greetings from the CK

Which one is the, "Pirafee" model? I am thinking the best way to do this is to make it a discipline. That way your player could transform into the wraith and use the proper wraith bones, animation and effects. I don't think it should be too difficult.

Re: Greetings from the CK

Thats an excellent idea! it can be packaged in a seperate .nob so no alteration is made to the skin. It would also allow other characters to use such a skin if, in future, others shared the same "curse".

Heres a pic of the Pirafee skin anyway so you can see what its like :

I was thinking the discipline category should be under the standard abilities ( feed, healing, etc ) to make it easier to find and use.


p.s. almost forgot...
The name of the Discipline... "Wraith Curse" or perhaps.."Call of Oblivion" would do just fine emoticon
Also, no Discipline timeout ( like Astral Projection ) can you make it so that it remains in use untill cancelled by right clicking on the icon

Re: Greetings from the CK

Alright, having played around with this for a bit here is what I think I'll do: I am going to make two disciplines. The first will transform the user into a generic wraith. The second will transform the user into a Pirafee wraith. Both will be accessible in the common disciplines and operate like a normal discipline. I will make a wraith ring for each discipline so that when a player wears the ring the effect will last until the ring is removed. I think this will give you the best of both worlds. If there is a more appropriate item with which to associate the curse let me know.

Awesome! emoticon Couldnt ask for more, Ratz will be pleased emoticon

The ring idea is great too, I cant see there being any problem with that emoticon

Thanks for doing this for us emoticon

Oh, also, I had a couple of other ideas, I wouldnt ever use them though so its not another request or anything lol.
Has anyone ever tried to make a "Predator" skin? or even a Terminator?
I had the idea about a Terminator for a few years now and no ones ever seem to have made one.
You'd start off with the basic metal endoskeleton, and the various upgrades would add different stages of the skin being torn away. So you'd have a completely enclosed upgrade where the Terminator looks like a normal human, but as it takes varying degrees of damage, then the player would shift down armour levels ( showing patches of endo skeleton underneath ) untill the final version, the unarmour model shows the complete endoskeleton.

As for a Predator, I can imagine that would be fairly simple, with some item that is simply "cloak of shadows" but it would also have special custom weapons and stuff.

The only real use for these would be Movie Remakes or "What If" scenarios, but potentially they could be a ton of fun emoticon and together with the Aliens, an AVP movie remake would be pretty cool ( might even encourage new players to pick up Vamp if advertised strategically )

Re: Greetings from the CK

I actually have some predator models sitting in a folder waiting to be converted. The terminator idea is pretty unique. Perhaps when I am finished upgrading the original game models I will work on the terminator.
