Models by Jorzi (AR)

[Berg]

as the cyborg already have the code for animation in the game you can use the ani file to make it level animations that is that you can move each part of of the cyborg independently.

Make the shin and foot one level on each leg and move it in a walk its fiddley but it will work look at the ani file format.

Look at the other ani files they are some frame animation like the cyborg and the derrick actualy moves the levels.

Berg, pie models can't use tangent space normal mapping, we use .wzm models for that, but wzm format isn't supported by wz animation, and there is no point to do that. WZ animation is obsolete, it has to be reworked into the event-driven bone and object animation.

P.S. wzm format is supported only in test build in I-Nod's fork of wz.

[Jorzi]

Yeah, I guess I could just export the scav model (and other animated stuff) as a .pie without any normal mapping for the time being. On the other hand, there's plenty of other stuff that can be done while waiting for a better solution.

agreed.

lol, no one is working on it.

P.S. so, If the I-nod's fork will be "someday" merged with master, we could use pie and wzm models in AR mod in the same time.

[Jorzi]

Well, if I get everything else done and there's still no new solutions, I'll simply assume that I will have learned c coding by then and maybe I'll be able to come up with something...

[Jorzi]

Retexturing the walls using tangent space normal maps. The result is that I can fit all wall textures into a single texpage, as well as parts being much more reusable.

Very awesome work.

[Jorzi]

Thanks

Btw, what's up with wzm models and base stretching?

[effigy]

Shields up?

[Slye_Fox]

Shields up?

I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain! If I push it any harder the whole thing will blow!

[Jorzi]

Yup, it's already at its limits (i.e. maximum height)

[MaNGusT]

Btw, what's up with wzm models and base stretching?

from our pm:

models that work with wzm format are next: bodies, props, usual buildings, features..
others will not work because of braindead animation, they should be as pies for now.

defensive buildings that use stretching don't work too.

Btw, what's up with wzm models and base stretching?

Wow, those are really high walls Must be an easter egg... or feature- ***ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL***

[Jorzi]

@MaNGusT: I see, I must have missed that... Oh well.
@I-NoD: Can you fix it? Imo just scrap the whole animation system if you have to.

[MaNGusT]

oh, and turrets can use wzm too.
