On a side note, can we please put the texture quality slider on 'full' as a default for eDuke32? It really messes up the look of the PHRP and I imagine most people aren't going to find it until they've played for quite a while. It's probably going to screw up normal maps as well.

I second that..
It would also be good if there was an option for texture compression as with texture compression on it messes up the darker colours especially dark greys and blacks.

Well while i was having alot of fun stringing CA along and laughing at his "I know everything" attitude. I am in fact NOT banned. I wasn't going to post on here but i have to say some of this stuff is fucking amazing. TM the pistol is looking epic. If you send me the skin in an email i will still do a version for you if you still want me too (Don't have my old PC so i lost pretty much everything) Also Roma, I have been keen to see how your devastators are going, epic dude, just epic!
I also have a proposition for all moddlers that wanna make a few extra bucks. PM me if interested.
Also want to give my apologies to TX (And TX only) for the bad blood. That aside i actually think the HRP is becoming more and more amazing every time i check back. Keep up the good work guys, what you are doing is fucking epic

[Tetsuo]

Just dropping a note to say I recently downloaded the SVN PHRP and I don't like the new shotgun model in it. It seems like mostly simplistic cylinders and the animation is too fast and wonky. I actually prefer the polymost HRP model over it.

[Tea Monster]

Thanks all!

Plagman - I think that it is a normal issue. I tried exporting it direct from Blender and it looks completely 'matt' in game. That is with the Cube exporter.

DISRUPTOR - cheers. I'm still working on the skin. It needs some tweaking to look good in EDuke, so I'm going to release the whole thing in a few days. Feel free to re-work it if you desire.

I also have a set of hands you guys can use if necessary;

[Tea Monster]

Wow, that looks amazing.

Yes please!

[Night Wolf]

Holy shit

[Millenia]

Thanks guys
I have no knowledge in the engine and stuff whatsoever (nor that much time) so I'll toss the source files out there for somebody who's willing to put them to good use;

Wow ! Thats awesome O_o

[Looks at picture]

Holy shit! That is just awesome!!!!

[Awesomebob]

That is a fantastic model!

[Fox]

Kick-ass! Will you do the pick-up item too?

Either way, that's a good hand model... it would be pretty good if it was used like that from the beggining. Also it's a seperate file, so theorically the same texture could be used for all weapons.

[Stabs]

GODLIKE MODELLING SKILLS +1

Please could you do the other weapons your fucking amazing!!!!!

Yes, it does look good but I wouldn't been so excited about it because it won't look that good once you import it into the game. Internal staged renders always look much better. Also I guess it's not ready to be ported anyway because unless I'm wrong there is no animation nor muzzleflash planes, which would look bad anyway with the current engine limitations unless you used shitty sprites instead. Also it may be that there won't be a volunteer to adapt it to the game since noone will want to be chew out for how much he spoiled this beautiful model. There are really many problems with HUD models and introducing polymer exposed even more and as Plagaman said: HUD models should be shelved for now.

It looks good in game, but static picture won't reveal this.

Not too sure about the spec map haven't really tested it.

Edit: on second thought this not finished ... fucked something up

Actually it's not a render, it's a realtime shader in the 3ds max viewport somewhat equivalent to the Unreal Engine 3

[Spiker]

Looks good but it instantly lost it's metalic look and now looks like plastic. Good thing about this is that it doesn't move that much while shooting. However even looking by the eye I can tell that currently it won't match with sprite muzzle flashes, of course it could be adjusted but the contrast between the high quality gun and 8 bit sprites can become an issue.

[Tea Monster]

There are ways of getting around the muzzle flash issue. What we need to do is find out definitely if it is a normals issue with the exporters or if it's a problem with Polymer and see how to fix it.

Defs for #227?

Otherwise, I am amazed about the speed at which HUD models are remade. Updated shotgun is there (even though it still needs work), Devastator came pretty quickly afterwards, pistol and chaingun are WIP. I wished the Doom HRP team had as talented and motivated people as we do. You folks rock!

I agree with everything you just said Night

Not sure, there should really be a tutorial on normal map defs, I don't understand them.

I can't say for sure since I don't have the correct defs to test it, but the normal map seems to be acting strangely, the blue channel doesn't seem to be working when set to height.
works fine when not parallax...
but yeah see how it looks in game first.

Edit:
This one should work properly.

The text on that monitor looks suspiciously like the hacking system in Fallout 3....

Haha right you are... well its was based of a picture I found off the internet which turned out to be from fallout 3..

I couldn't figure out what to write there and I wanted it to fit the spaces of the original art so I just used jibberish...
if anyone has any ideas for some better text let me know, its hard to come up with text ideas when the 8bit art is just pixels.
I'll mess around with it more, see if I can find something more appropriate
