Plagues Pack - DP Edit

[LambentHammerBurst]

Figured I'd pack up Plagues weapons to use with the Shambler's Castle pack.
His models are located here:
Plague'sPak

However upon installing the md3 version and trying to use in Darkplaces - the muzzle flashes were not working. Gave errors in the console and when fired you got the ugly "grey square".
Well I fixed that and now you can have Plague's weapons with his muzzle flashes working.
All of his weapons are included. I've only shown 3 of the weapons as you get the general idea.

This pack ONLY has the v_models and g_models. There are no projectiles, armor, powerups ect. Just the view models and the weapon pickup models.



If you wish to see all the weapons. Visit Plague's portfolio:

about 3/4 the way down are all various images of the weapons.

Hello OoPpEe,

I never played that Doom3 mod long enough to notice that the weapons had custom muzzle flashes.

Watching your screens, I think they are really nice.

I will try to implement them into some weapons I use.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Seven

No there are from Plague's md3 models. If you just dropped his pk3 into DP they didn't work. The md3 models were still named md3 - so DP didn't load them.
Then his shaders were not compatible with DP or badly written - so instead of them working the muzzle flashes were grey squares. This pack just fixed those. Just fixed them so a true pack can be made (weapons + monsters). I may grab the weapon sounds and upload them to use with these too.

The Shamblers Castle mod did use Muzzle Flashes too - however they used the ones from the original DooM 3 weapons - which I cannot distribute. However if you check the pk3 - each weapon has their own muzzle flash texture (which are copies of others) - so easily ripping the ones from DooM 3 to replace them is easy done

I'm actually considering the same thing too. Make a re-release of Rygels weapons and Mine/His Mission Pack weapons and add in the muzzle flashes. Sadly would require a reanimation - but highly doable.

hehe

you got me wanting flashes after trying these so i added a simple one into my shotgun animation.

can't the flashes be added using the game engine so it will work with all weapons.. basically that's the reason I left them out back in the days, another idea I had was to add a flat box as the flash and have a texture with some alpha channel transparency.. this also was not that wildly supported by the engines back then, what's the news today?

[LambentHammerBurst]

That's how the muzzle flashes were done on these models. A textured square with a alpha channeled texture. What I said I was considering doing, could greatly speed up the process if I had your model source files (mesh and animation files ).
As far as I know there's no automatic muzzleflash option yet.

everything is back home... have to install some 3d software again once I get there and get a hold of a working md3 exporter for max, but would only take a few minutes to add a flat box for all the models and export a new set the question is, are they being used as md3 or mdl nowdays? md3 could have a seperate texture for the muzzle flash so wouldn't have to squeeze that in to any of the existing textures

[LambentHammerBurst]

Mainly md3's (but have to rename to mdl for Darkplaces to load it).
