Hi Lukas,
Hope things are going well....
In the game, what about having a few more zombie models ?
*female
*zombie dog (?)
*zombies with parts of limbs missing or hanging off
*zombie police man/paramedic
I was thinking of some of the zombie models in "House of the dead III", there's some good ideas in there

hi, yeah i have been playing house of the dead 3 alot lately (demo) and its so sweet. but yeah, it would add more realism to the game, i mean how many games actually have zombie females?
also, im trying to keep the game as close to realism as possible, like you would actually feel that you where there, and this could actually happen. yet im trying to keep it as simple as possible.

but yeah, ill as Jonny Ree if he has some time to work on the female zombie, and perhaps adjust the current zombie so we have a fat one.

also, anyone is welcome to participate and supply me with models/media. you will get credit for it. (in the source code as well as in-game). so if you are a talented modeller, artist, then just shout and help me make a really good looking scary game


when my leveleditor is done (30% done atm) ill start workin on the shader effects. BUT (always a but) i have a geforce 4mx so i will need beta testers ill get in touch later about that when its time

edit,
Quote: "*zombies with parts of limbs missing or hanging off"

this gave me a brilliant idea
in newton, with the ragdoll you have bones right? yes. and i could try to make it so when firing with the shotgun f.ex. and if the raycast hit the bone in the arm then disable the use of that bone. it would then act like the arm is broken am i right?? now that would really be cool just think about it, if you fire at a zombie, and he falls from a high ledge, land on his leg and it breaks! wicked most awesome! thanks for the inspiration BUT (again) i need the model boned AND i need to fix the d*mn bug with the zombie being tossed out in space not cool i guess this idea will have to wait until... umm.. until.. eh.. i get the bug fixed.

okay, one more time:
does anyone who is familiar with newton have a solution to what might be the problem to this:
Zombie Walks/Rotates at a Random Value.
it works smooth. Suddenly the zombie stops, it wont move but it can still rotate and it is standing like this instead of | yet it is using an UpVector at 0,1,0.
alt.A) i think; what the?! and i move towards it and collide with it.
alt.B) i think; mohahahaha and i shoot at it.
now the zombie is tossed out in the space with speed exceeding its allowed maximum speed. he can go through walls when this happens.. also sometimes it takes me with him.
the zombie ends up at a position outside the newton world, it gets deleted to save memory and i get the error message: object does not exist or body does not exist. that is because the object/body is deleted.

but my question is: why does this happen?
ill post source if needed

the water texture is sweet! thanks

metal
no. 5,6,9 are exactly what is needed

sky.. hmm, i was planning oon making this an indoor game.
im not that good at exterior stuff

Quote: "Upload only the weapons + old textures please"

but why? they are in the dbc version if you have downloaded that game you allready have the weapons and textures. but if you dont have the game (and dont want to waste 12mb space) then ill upload the weapons.

hmm.. nope, no new weapons

thanks for the metal textures

do you have any wood textures as well?? if not then ill use the one i made (the one on the boxes). but i feel like i need something better...

Jonny Ree, if you read this (if not then ill see if i can get you on msn) how is the zombie model going, i mean the boning? i just need to know because need it soon

im working on a new level and i figured i would go with outdoor levels aswell, so i need to add yet another feature to the level editor. teleportations from exterior to interior. that would defenitley not dec the fps. im running at 40fps @ 640x480x32 with my fathers computer: amd athlon (1.2ghz), 128mb ram, gfore2mx 32mb. and i get it to run at 65fps with my sisters computer (my computer is broken): amd sempron (1.5ghz), 256mb ram, geforce4mx420 64mb.

and i guess most gamers here have atleast 2000+mhz, 256mb ram and atleast a sm2.0 card. so i think there wont be a problem with the fps drop at higher resolutions than 640x480.

edit,
jack: i think the sky textures will come handy afterall

ouch, looking at my texture now, I feel like I should probably redo it o_O wow, its been a while. I dont think the texure being used was the finished one, atleast not the face.

Good job with the blood by the way

TY Jonny!!

Anyway I admire your skills (rpg your working on) and aspire to get better at this stuff!

Here are some tweaks or modifications to allow different types of zombies (wip)

I did not build the zombie....(credit goes to Jonny I believe)....





hard to make out, but I cut the hand off and made a bloody nub...
wanted to see what a hanging eye would look like....
no other modifications other than a rough texture to the basic skin...

Here's a function that will create a normal map from a texture:



The only problem is, the texture cannot be larger than the screen's dimensions, since it uses the point() command and the getimage() command. If that's a problem, I could create a version of it using memblocks...

I also attached a normal map of the modified skin for you.

allrighty,

i havent felt like working this week.
but yesterday i tried to rewrite the AI once more.
this time i will remove lots of stuff that i had added before.
and i know what the problem is, but i cant fix it and that really suck.

so i what i have done with the AI is:
*it stands still and rotates smoothly.
*when player is close to it (and it see the player) move towards it. but it wont move

ahh.. the level editor is not close to finished.
i think there will be another month or two until i get some new screenshots or any "real" progress.

so ill see you then... and please dont kill this topic
if there is anything you wish to help me with (media related), then just post

interior houses:
walls, floors, roofs, doorways and stairs

same with the school and mall.

i will place interior objects with the level editor im making.

i also need Trees, Rocks and Street Lamps.

so all you modellers, if you would be kind enough and help me

i was hoping to get a demo out soon.. the closest i can think of is November. (check the first page every now and then i will update it when i have done something or found a new bug etc. etc. also the release date for a demo is there.

incase any modeller drops by:
i would really like to get some help with some houses that need to be modelled.
one house, two models. one exterior, and one interior.

exterior:
just a box or something with a pyramid on top.
but if the interior have shape, then the exterior must have same shape.

interior houses:
only walls, floors, stairs and roofs.

currently i have 2 exterior houses. and 1 interior house. (edit, out of 30)
