DonDustin: great doodad model

 

[tee.dubs]

wooooh, really nice theme.

 

[X-OMG-X]

Pretty nice. I like the idea.

 

[Misha]

coolio :3

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Sexeah! Too bad we can't put cool items everywhere if they don't fit the other buildings style. Oh well if I make an in-base map, that will be a nice doodad.

 

[chilla_killa]

That's nice and very useful. +rep

 

[oscarb]

Looks cool could indeed be useful

It's a nice model, but first of all:
*Attach the lightings to bones, and set the bones' billboarding properties to "lock z". This way they will be billborded at the z-axis.

*Add some movement to the lightings.
A texture animation would be best, and you could propably do it in magos with little effort.
Just animating the lightings is also an ok idea, maybe make 2-3 different lighting modls and show/hide them systematically.

EDIT: Sorry! I noticed you do have texture animations, BUT: magos is bugged and does not properly attatch the animation to the material.
What you have to do is to convert the model into .mdl, then add the texture animation reference to the material manualy.

The WE crashs everytime i try to see the model on a unit...I tryed to reupload it, or to reboot the editor, nothing more...It continues to crash. It's the first time i get this kind of problem with a model, and i think it has a little problem

 

[Scythy Dervish]

hmm the model works am my editor without any problem...

 

[Xael]

hm strange...does anybody has the same problem as me?

BTW i found this model really cool, exactly what i needed, sad

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Could you make a pack of all your recent models and stuff? Like a futuristic ship pack or lab pack

 

[Scythy Dervish]

I only can make a pack with approved ressources
as long this isnt approved I cant make a pack

 

[carlcrazyllama]

Yes Xael there is somone experiancing the same problem, and its happening to me with all the others exept the acid one too. Please fix and repost I really need somthing like this for my map to work.

 

[Scythy Dervish]

when i know what is wrong i would fix it ^^

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

It may be an animation issue. I had that problem when i was removing weapons by scaling them down to 0. I fixed it by scaling them down to .01, so it didn't snap all the verticies. Hopefully that helps.

Same problem, only the Acid Lab works. The Lightning, Water, and Wall doesn't.
Here are the pictures of the Lightning Generator problem, but the Wall and Water do the same thing.

also after the update?

 

[phoenixfire]

Those are from yesterday Dec 28

 

[Scythy Dervish]

I've updated it at the 29th try the new

 

[akrep_ve_su]

It can't be clicked when the model is assigned to an object lol. Especially if the scaling value is a little lower than average. Damn, it was a good model and I can't use it =)

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Just add an occlusion sphere to the model so it can be selected easily ingame.

I'll repair it maybe the next days, a bit busy atm
