drake power-ups HD

[IronWarfare]

This evening I'll test these new updates with PC of a friend.

shazaam


exported the coins all and made skin files for them

>LINK REMOVED, NEWER VERSION CAN BE FOUND IN FIRST POST OF THREAD<

.

ive also included reflect-maps + shader, but for unknown reason the coins dont wanna show the cubemap on them in-game
if someone knows what i supposedly did wrong why the coins dun have cubemaps in-game, lemme know and ill fix it

perhaps skin-files + shaders dun mix in DP or something like that?

[IronWarfare]

Beautiful!! Do you plan to make also HD version of gems, treasure chests?

[JDSTONE]

the coin looks very nice!

[talisa]

thanx both

also yush, the gems are planned next

and yes, ive most def been considering also doing the treasure-chest,
since those are great medieval items too and i really like em

.

ive also been thinking of perhaps some time remaking socks medieval ammo pickups from his 'in the shadows' mod,
since they are medieval-styled replacements for the normal ammo pick-ups, and i think they look great when used with in drake maps

[IronWarfare]

That would be awesome!

[talisa]

some time soon i shall propose the idea to sock himself,
perhaps he'll like the idea of HD versions of his items and might want to include them with his maps too if i make them

but first ill continue remaking more drake stuffs
there's still a lot of items to go from drake

.

btw if you wanna use his medieval items with drake-maps:
-just download a map from sock which includes the models, like The Ivory Tower,
-take the pak1.pak (which contains only the replacement items) from it
-rename it to pak4.pak or whichever number is next in row with the paks in the mod-folder
-drop it in the mod-folder, and shazaam... all ammo and some items will use sock's models instead of the ones from standard quake

started on gem1, which is the diamond-shaped one


made a more detailed version of it based on like how the texture seemed to make it look like,
and i looked up pictures of real diamonds and found some drawings on a site which perfectly showed the shape of all faces a diamond like that

i did also UV-map it already, but i intentionally made pics of untextured with flat shading so that the individual faces are clearly visible

[talisa]

da-dada-dun

the diamond-shaped gems are done

includes all 3 of the diamond-shaped gems: gem1, soe_gem and t_gem
since they are all the same gem with only different animations

Yeah! Yesterday I've tested your stuff and looks great in game. I've forgot to include in the pack the fiend and the staff, but this evening I'll add them. Oh and I've made a friend appreciate Soe!

[talisa]

glad you like the items i made

also huzzah on making a friend like soe, its great

[MadGypsy]

Second Life wasn't making you any money so, you decided to counterfeit some?

Seriously though, it all looks very good.

[talisa]

no no no gypsy, you got that all wrong....
i made such a ginormous fortune in second life that i am now giving it away in the form of gold coins and gems

also thanx, im having a lot of fun re-making all these items hi-poly

.

also... started on gem3, the triangular-shaped gem


its not the exact same shape as original, but i used pictures of real diamonds of that shape as reference

[IronWarfare]

Tested other stuff today. Too bad the updated texture pack is in my external hard disk (confiscated with my pc) so I have to make a new archive, but this should be done in an hour or two, tomorrow I'll try to make it (with the help of a friend)

[talisa]

in my own setup i have included a bunch of HD replacements for textures in the 'something wicked this way comes' maps too,
since most of them are taken from doom, heretic and hexen and for those games theres also HD texture-packs available.

and ive also included HD textures for the hexen2 monsters included with those same maps, taken from jeanks HD-skins pack
