drake power-ups HD

@JD
ah well, even if its not used anywhere i still enjoy remaking the items.

also yes yes, i did plan to do the gemini logo next.
its a very simple model, so should be done in no-time

also i plan to do the boots of flight soon, which is used a bunch of times in the last map of unforgiven

[talisa]

as i said: should be done in no-time


took me half an hour

[talisa]

update:

UV-mapping is done

so now just to find/make a good fitting rock-texture and then itll be done

[talisa]

after some searching i found a great rock-texture for the item, and added fake shadowing to it myself


which means.... this item is done too

DOWNLOAD IT HERE!

.

PS for JD: its called twin-shot, not shotgun optimizer
found it in last map of unforgiven, and upon picking up it said thats the name of it

[talisa]

thought both rejuvinators were equally sized, but they arent i noticed.
the less powerfull one is a bit smaller, and its also a little bit darker in color

fixed the size of it and made it so that it doesnt use the same texture anyone but a different one which is darker


DOWNLOAD NEW VERSION WITH FIXED SIZE AND BRIGHTNESS

EDIT: oops, forgot to add correct properties before exporting as md3 which made that in-game it showed up without texture
fixed it and replaced link with new version which is correctly exported

Will you do also weapons like Mirv launcher, Laser shotgun or Buryza Do Kyanon (the crosswbow)? There is a high quality version of the Hexen II crosswbow, but I don't know how to make it work in Quake and make it replace the standard crossbow. At the moment I don't have my pc, so I can't make the change and-or test it.

@ironwarfare
high quality hexen II crossbow... you mean the hi-res texture for it by jeank?
if so, i have actually made a modified version of his hi-res crossbow texture once which i never released

since you asked about it, allow me to release my modified crossbow texture for drake:
DOWNLOAD HD BURYZA DO KYANON

just simply drop the pk3 in your modfolder to use it

.

laser shotgun? you mean the lasercannon which uses the same slot as the SNG?

if so, there is no need to remake this weapon, cuz its the lasercannon from mission pack 2 SoA AKA hipnotic.
OoPpEe/lambenthammerburst has made a HD-models pack for SoA already: http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod...pons-pack.html

it works fine if you just simply copy the SoA weapons-pk3 to the modfolder.
his pack also includes the mjolnir hammer, since that weapon is also taken from SoA

.

also yes i do absolutely plan to remake the mirv launcher too, as well as the plasmagun

[talisa]

also... I started on the coins from Nsoe!


they're uber-simple models, just basic cylinders. so the models themselves could be made and UV-mapped in just a few seconds.
ive also already animated them already to match the original animations of all 3 coins

also, i started on recreating one of the textures for the coins in hi-res

took a gold-texture i had, adjusted the color of it a bit, and put text on a layer on top and
added emboss and drop-shadow filters to the layer to give the effect of the text being extruded.

please let me know what you all think of the WIP texture, any suggestions or tips are more then welcome

[talisa]

just had an idea for the coin.

since most real coins have a ring on the outside which is either thicker or thinner then the rest,
i thought id add a thicker outer-edge to the coin


just a random idea... whatcha people think, yes or no?

i kinda like it myself, makes it look more like an actual coin rather then 'some cylinder'

[talisa]

more WIP on texture, added lines to the edge of coin to give it a ribbed look

[golden_boy]

Good stuff. I think there might have been a gameplay reason for the somewhat garish yellow colour of the originals, though: They stand out better.

Personally I'd run that texture through a colorize process so the items end up being more visible against the environment.

[IronWarfare]

No I mean the laser gun slot 2, similar to standard shotgun, it's present in Soul of Evil Indian Summer. It could also use some nice laser effect. This evening I force a friend to install Soe so I can test the new stuff

[talisa]

and yet another update!

the 1bit texture is done

now that i have one done the rest shouldnt be to much work,
since the only difference between textures is the number and logo

.

@GB
thanx. and yes perhaps they were made so bright yellow for that reason,
but it looks kinda silly imo cuz it makes them look cartoony.

ill test it sometime soon in-game to see how visible it is.
the reflect-map ill be adding to them should make them quite obvious cuz the glistening will be an eye-catcher

.

@iron
ah yes, that one! i completely forgot about that lasergun from soe which is a recolored version of normal shotgun.
hmm mebbe some time, but its not really high on my list of items to remake

[talisa]

ta-daa!

all the textures for all 3 coins are done

now all thats left is whip up reflect-map+shader-files for all skins, and then they'll be done

[talisa]

just tested one of my coins in Nsoe to see if they would stand out enough in the world of quake compared to the originals

even this small one is still very obvious and stands out well enough in the world of quake imo

also checked, and even underwater its still quite visible as well
