Ok, about two weeks ago, pai suggested we make a new TT. I thought it might be fun, but then I had second thoughts. Copyright laws, and many other problems might ensue. Instead, we could make a whole new game. I was thinking an MMORPG. If I manage to get a job this summer, I will probably be able to buy TGE or some other game engine that we can easily use. Like Pai said, there are so many talents here that we should be able to do this. Here is my idea for the game:

Red Strike- A mars game. Classic humans vs aliens format. I think this will be decently easy to accomplish. Now, the server will be the complicated thing- A real time battle server. We can program bots, and have it so that there is a real front in the game. We can have a huge map, and lots "CTB" spawn points. I have started to mold out the alien and human players. I decided that the aliens should be in robot suits, as this will be easier to model than some deformed creature. If anybody wishes to change this, just tell me. I can do it :P

Here are some screenies of what the players might look like.

Alien:

Human(eyes were kinda difficult, so I put a mask on):

Tell me what you think. Hell, we may even be able to make some $$ off this!

Ok! Jobs spots are open. Right now, this is a soley volenteer job, so no one will be making money... Yet XD

And me?

I would like to try somestuff.

Ok... I will send you the pistol once I get it done... The template I was working with last night was REALLY confusing...

I think I'll send Racer some of my models also...I'm having troubles using an image file for a material...

Hey, _ummm , I have the last post on the 3rd page, its relatively new in case you missed it because of the switchover.... XD

The sniper rifle was not as hard as I thought. Here are screenshots of it. BEWARE. These images need to be large in order to capture the true beauty of this thing.

I have named it the A42 "Sapphie"

When I am able to get on my computer (tomorrow) I will zip up the textures and send em' to the modeling team.

I dug out this quote:

I will probably be bogged down with all the artwork I will be doing... Since I am doing this on my spare time, I wont have time to learn the shader engine, AND do the artwork.

@Racer
Check email.
Thanks. :)

NNIIIIIIIICE!! Except for a little bit of a scew on the 3d veiw, that is amazing, racer. Woot.

Now for my turn. Not nearly as impressive (done on appleworks...), but here goes:

THIS ONE IS NOT FOR THE GAME. I will be selling it XD I found a way we may be able to afford a couple extras...

^Thanks!

Everyone probably knows this, but in Wings3D, if you want to make the view of the model shaded and nice looking in the editor, press Tab.

Why wont it be for the game?? It looks cool!

Thats pretty impressive racer

Not for game becuase I am selling it.

The3dstudio.com

It is one of the most awesome games ever.

Sell it and use it...

But how awckward would it be for a video game model to pop up on a simple 3D model site for $7. I mean, seriously, what if you saw a ThinkTank on there?

Speaking of which, here is the final skinned product.

Anyone know haw to zip a folder on Mac?

I'd like to help, somehow.

If theres anything I can do please let me know :)

We will let you know tankster. Can you script or model at all?

here is the prototype for the human pistol 2.0. I scraped the other design becuase it was technically impossible... In that bad sort of way. SO, now I have made a animationable gun with a clip on it... Still not done

So is it going to be a one hander? Looks like it. Pump and shoot.

The bottom is going to be a fancy laser pointer thingy. I still need to block that out, though.

I don't play TT anymore... But if I have time contact me and I can script some things for you. I can't model, but I can script... I've experimented a bit with TGE Demo and its pretty easy to edit (the TSL code and the GUIs) and once when I was doing a little fun program I based it on the demo (it was just to do a small slideshow, I was bored) and it was really easy... *prays he hasn't forgotten TSL yet*

I have an idea:
There would be like "shields" and inside everything was green and breedable. Outside, you needed to use a special suit, everything was dry and you couldnt bread there. Inside there was gravity (easier for gorund vehicles but harder for air vehicles) and outside there was none.
For the Solo Mission if we include one:
In the beginning you'd have to take over the districts one by one, and the more districts you had captured the easier it was to capture others. Like you can select the next district to capture and make a "district strategy" (get all aliens in the middle so they cant get reinforcements for example)
Then in the end you had to protect them all... BEFORE THE ALIEN ANHILLATION MISSION XD

BTW...how does one put a material on an object in Wings?

Go to the faces selection, right click, scroll down near the bottom.

@ Art crazy- That would actually be kinda fun. I will contact you if we need you. Thanks for your help!

I meant a texture (as in from a file), but...oh well...

@ Mon- ooh... That gets... Complicated. I am still figuring it out. I will tell you, but remember to make a copy of your file.

1) Split your model into at LEAST two objects (unless it is a very simple model)
2) Select ONE OBJECT and go to UV mapping/Direct segment on the pull down menu.
3) in the second window, right click and make a projection. The different colors are how the map will com out
4) Right Click "Create Texture", and viola! Now all you need to do is export to.3Ds, and skin it!

Thanks a lot!
By the way, are you on IM?

Awesome Looks great PGG :) Might be able to help u ok???? Cause over the March Break iv'e been practising my scripting skillz anywayz cyaz!!

-UFO1CoolBoy!!

I wanna skin too. :[

Spunky! I havent seen you in a while! :P

I can work on designing and making terrain and maps and stuff once you are finished with the modeling or any time. I can also work on where you put the bunkers and buildings. Also I've done a few science projects on mars terrain and mars rovers, so I could suggest some levels and maps. Once you finish the skins and objects that will be on the maps you can just email them to me. :)

We want to skin! %)

UVMapper

I think this has grown enough to take this to its own forum. We have several devoted people and we already have some objects made.

Probably... War, how is that website coming?

My parents are on a cruise. I cannot get anything on my father's server until after a week or two

I got a simple skin done for my first gun.
No screenies yet (for the same reason I'm not going to be on TT for a while--see XTL thread).

I now am completely free... No exams and stuff, and easter holidays coming up soon :)
Any help needed (with scripting) and here I am!

Yea... If you want we could create a temporary forum in some forum hoster like http://www.forumer.com/ or http://www.invisionfree.com/

If you want I'll do it... Just tell me ;)

EDIT:
I could easily start setting up the GUIs with the TGE demo, so once we had the full version it'd just be stick-in. Now... I'll need someone to plan them and make them as I am not a good image editor :P
(Don't use TT's theme ;) )

Ok I set up the forum @
http://s9.invisionfree.com/RedStrikeGame/index.php?

Start Registering and I'll turn the main people in this project into admins...

Thanks AC.

Woot Woot! Oficially have skinned our SECOND weapon!

As you can see, the clip can be fully removed, and the gun can be cocked back. There are no joints for the cock, but if we get enough $$ to invest in 3d studio, animation will be no problem. Maybe lightwave, or something cheap...

Milkshape and blender have animation tools and I think they are rather cheap

@All project members
Once registered post here to say you did. We don't want any imposters :)

I cant register, I need a working e-mail...

Ok I will create your account... Keep checking

EDIT: Register now with a fake e-mail. I removed the need of verification and will readd it once you are registered, post here when you are anyways

Last edited: Friday, March 31, 2006 at 7:22:58 AM

Wait till I get home :P

Ah well... Ok :)

I'm registered.

I registered, but I'm not sure I'm in.

Ok, I have some more things to show you guys... Here is the biological alien... I am thinking about redoing the human, too, just becuase I have gotten so much better since I did him... Here is the happy Alien,

And I also made an alien weapon... I though a style would be some sort of arm wrap-around, so it is easily distiguishable technology...

Woot, I am in

Yes, it is me
no, I am not a planet sucking ape monkey
sure, I am that weird :P

Bump: Try to check AND POST on the new forums at least once a day. Even if you have nothing to say, just check in, compliment someone, or... Be nice?

Bring
Up
My
Post!

Err... PGG's post ;)

Wait... What? Now I feel a little ackward... Ah...

CHECKTHEFORUMSCYALATERBYE! :P
