Soul Of Evil Indian Summer (HD textures and more)

[Seven]

Don't worry people, I'll return soon to the project, and soon I'll have a new PC ;D

Hello IronWarfare,

How is your project going ?
Any news/updates ?

Hi all, I'm making an HD compilation for Soul of Evil Indian Summer made by the great Tronyn.
[...]

I need help with the following stuff:

- i would like to remove those glossy spikes from nailguns and replace them with better ones
- having the nice torch effects instead of the standard low quality one

I found the source for Soul of Evil: Indian Summer at quaddicted.
So I wanted to support you a little bit with your above mentioned points.

A) You can replace the spikes with any replacement model you want to.
I use this spike for example (there are many different ones available):


B) I added all 3 particle flame types from the "small mod compilation" into the Soul of Evil: Indian Summer source. Maybe you like it:

Hello Josh,

Thank you for your pm.
I did not include the "particlefont.tga" in the .zip.

Now everything should be OK.

Have fun,
Seven

Very thanks for the help Seven, this greatly improves the mod and will be of course added in the pack. I think in these days I'll release an update with your stuff and the HD stuff made by Talisa

[IronWarfare]

Uh, rapidshare says "file not found". IMO sendspace is better.

Oh the link now works with Firefox, Opera didn't show the proper link. Tomorrow I'll test it. I'm almost done with the HD pack and Talisa is doing really excellent models, skins and improvements. Long life Tronyn, long life Soul of Evil

[talisa]

thanx iron, glad you like my models and such

also absolutely, tronyn makes brilliant maps

dun forget also: long live patrick martin! thats the guy who did the QC for both soe & nsoe
and he made the drake-mod which is used for a lot of tronyn's maps (including Nsoe) <3

and a lot of things from soe later got merged into the drake-mod

[IronWarfare]

Tested the fire effects and looks very good in Soul of Evil. Great stuff Seven, very thanks. I've tested some maps again some hours ago and I've made a todo list, tomorrow I'll post it, now I'm too tired to write and I have to sleep

I tried and completed soul of evil. To be honest, it was sort of hard but able to complete it.

Thank you for your tests and feedback.

There are a lot of "Drake" discussions going on in this forum in various threads at the moment.
I took the Drake-beta source from june 2011 (which is as far as I know the latest available) and added particle flames in it.

I tested it with these maps / episodes:
- Arcanum
- Unforgiven
- Something Wicked This Way Comes
- Nyarlathotep







Drake maps also use a lot of candles (from Rogue) many times.
So I thought it would maybe also be a good idea to add the particle candles into Drake.

It is not difficult. Most difficult was, to find where Patrick has hidden the spawn functions for the flames and candles As he has rewritten / restructured most of the original QuakeC functions. So it somehow doesnt "feel like home" when reading his code.
But once you found it and detected his new functions, it is more or less a copy / paste from SMC.
The source is included (also the original files), so you can better see the difference when using a tool like "beyond compare".

Have fun,
Seven

awesome!
thanx a lot seven for adding the particle flames to the drake source QC

always loved your particle-flames, they look so much nicer then the ugly original flame
so its great to now be able to have them in drake too

[JDSTONE]

Thanks seven! Did you add some things to make the gravity work right in the maps? that why i thought we kept getting new progs data with some of the maps... i played Unforgiven map 3 a few weeks back and remembered that you get a little bit more jump on that map. cant wate to try this out! if you guys haven't try Nyarlathotep in third person all the jumping is kinda fun that way but its hard to tell what gun you have.

Thank you Seven!
