High-res reskins for classic mods...

[Seven]

For those who joined later or didnt notice it yet:

Kingennio also made a reworked skin for this weapon some time ago.
Also a VERY interesting alternative Lightning gun, made by the master himself: Ruohis, can be found there.
With an amazing reworked skin by kingennio (later in that thread).
The wonderful thing regarding this weapon is Ruohis�s animation. Very detailed.

Hi Seven..
I joined late, so I didn't noticed it.. ^^'
The laser gun is really great, but the download links are ALL broken already..

Hey latchford:
You should post a texturing tuto, I supose it's just photoshop or something like that..

[osjclatchford]

nope!

in fact until recently (like, a month ago) no photoshop at all, just a combination of years of experience with various incarnations mspaint and msword and for certain things; really old art progs from the early nineties that don't even exist anywhere anymore!

I've only used photoshop to blend images and add alpha channels...

many disbelive me when I say this but It's true.
Its just years of aquired knowledge of pixel punching, It would be really hard to empart as well, as theres no strict 'way' of doing each thing, it just flows naturally depending on the peice you're working on...

[DaniOcampo1992]

I readed all the posts in this topic again..

i made those lightning gun conversions years ago...and the animation wasn't easy.


the only other model i have ported from dmc is the rocket launcher.


ill have a look for it tonight and see if i can find it...might even have a newer version of the v_light, with a thinner skin.


as for the sword model...i have a nice katana model from rq3, i sent it to ooppee and asked him to animate it for me, he didnt reply.


so i made the nine frame animation myself the next day, and it came out close to what i wanted.

yeah i found the dmc halflife models on a disk.

the screenshot has the dmc nailgun...i decided to have a look because of cobalt also asking me for these.

I saw the katana in one of your videos sean, and I'm really interested on the dmc models.. any possibility of sharing them?

Seanstar is great at the converts - he could have the DMC models done overnight I myself would port over the Generations mod weapons, however they don't want that done.

What "Generations Mod" are you talking about OoPpEe?

What "Generations Mod" are you talking about OoPpEe?

[DaniOcampo1992]

Man! THOSE are the kind of gibs I want for Quake..
Thanks for letting me know w@

The weapons looks awesome!
I wonder why don't they want them ported to QI.. :/

[LambentHammerBurst]

Those are the standard Q3 gibs. They've been ported many times. I will see if I can find a download for them.
I do hope Generations 1.0 happens soon. As I do want to port their models with permission to release.

[DaniOcampo1992]

I will see if I can find a download for them.

Ok, ty!

osjclatchford, since you've made that great chain lightning gun for Zerstorer, do you plan to make also riot controller, chaingun and chainsaw?

I'm not going to say no but most likely not too soon either, I'll give it a go when I get a chance and then let you know how I get on!

*UPDATE*
Had a disaster with my graphics card yesterday, was mid-game and it was damned slow, then I heard a 'nee-nor' sounding siren coming from the pc-speaker and shut down immeadiately, upon opening the machine I found , not only a large deposit of dust in the processor (naughty, *slaps wrist*) but the graphics card was actually boiling. (seriously I burnt my fingers on it!).
Unfortunately its a heatsink/liquid coolant only card so no fan to replace , My guess is that the liquid-coolant resevoir has dried up or got some gas in the system and as such its a throw-away job really...

Mind you It was over 80 degrees over here in the UK yesterday so that obviously didn't help.
I suspected it had begun to go a while back as slowness and lag was increasing since about febuary (I assumed that was due to all the new textures I have been adding to my games since then LOL) but I'd not seen how hot it was untill I opened it yesterday, Maybe the ambient temp put it over the edge or maybe its just been a long time coming, either way I won't be able to do much gaming for a while as its now overheating just running windows...

So, basically, may be a long wait for new work...

Put a 80mm Fan on Top of the Heatsink and it'll run cool enough.

[LambentHammerBurst]

Yep that works well. I have a x1600 Silent, has no fan either. So I got a CPU fan zip tied onto the heatsink and it's running 10-25'c cooler.

@osjclatchford,
Sorry to hear of your video card incident that sucks. I really have to monitor my pc and game consoles as the temperatures here in Oklahoma in the US have been in the 100's for the last month! Yuck! Hope to see you back in action soon.
@OoPpEe,
Any luck with finding the gib download??
Regards guys

[osjclatchford]

hmm, may look into an extra fan, must admit, never considered just zip-tieing one in though!

not sure if I have any ports left to power one off of though, and space is pretty tight so I'm not sure one would even fit LOL!

thanks for the suggestions though, I'll let you know how I get on...

[monsta]

hey osjclatchford, thought i'd let you know i'm using your shotty and SSH classic skins. i'm normally a plague-weapons-only guy but i made exceptions to both shotguns just so i can use your skins! you did an awesome job with them!
