Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of time

[gavdaman88]

Currently I am working on a beta of this game that may one day cover the whole adventure that once graced the N64 console. The beta carries you from the shoes of Link all the way to his departure from Kokori forest.

Currently it sits at about halfway through the Deku tree, with some aspects before it still being worked on (NPC interactions, cinematics), but it is heading past the 50% mark currently so I thought I'd give a sneak peak.

CONTROLS
Most importantly this is in third person, just like oot, and it is aimed to be as authentic and enjoyable as it was on the N64. You view all the action from behind Link himself, and can swing his sword, shield, throw deku nuts, light deku sticks and lanterns, dodge boulders etc. The only thing you cannot do is swim at the moment or somersault.

TERRAIN
Is as reflective of OOT as possible, refer to the video preview for details.

As the map progresses further updates will be submitted, but for now some screenshots and a video are available, and this will be singleplayer only of course.....

This looks really promising, but there's one thing i think you need to do.
You need to request a better model for link. I know which model u uses, and it really sucks...
But if you could fix that(and maybe some better icons too) then i would definitely play this!

 

[Formula1]

Do you have an L targeting System Yet?

 

[Dakho]

For a better Link model (that one is awful) go to thehelper.net. Use the search option and search Legend of Zelda. There's one that looks much much much better, even though he uses footman animations.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

YES! YES! YES! FINALLY! MY SCREENSHOTS HAVE ARRIVED!

This is one of the godliest of projects ever attempted. It surpasses almost EVERY SINGLE F--KING RPG out there. Why? Flawless systems. The demo this fellow provided was INSANELY fun. It felt like Zelda should feel-COMPLETELY AWESOME! Reputation for showing off your SUPER UBER TERRAINS, MAN!

The only problem is the people. If they could look more Kokiri-ish... Hmmm...

 

[gohan43]

i dont know what your talking about but i dont see a demo unless its in Maps

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

It IS in the maps section, but I don't know what happened to it if it isn't there. I know I downloaded it!

 

[gavdaman88]

I'd use the footman model, but the animations are actually quite poor... this Link model can lay bombs, do spin attacks, lower his shield, do everything I need really. If anything all this map would need is a smoother Link model based off the existing one, but I'll worry about that when this map progress further.

The L target system is also something I'm working on, and wouldn't be too hard to implement, although targeting can sometimes be an issue in this map (Link's selection zone seems to get in the way a lot sometimes), so it might be moreso based off the nearest enemy to Link.

And as for the demo, search Zelda eagle dungeon. It isn't an OOT demo, but a remake of the first zelda dungeon ever in third person, where a much more basic demo of the motion system for this map was first made. The motion now is enhanced by Link actually 'walking' when he moves around rather than smoothly gliding over the terrain.

Nearest enemy
-Then to switch it would just be based on which is at angle greater then etc to current facing... etc...

okay thanks id play it but my laptop (what im using atm) is fucked up right now so i cant do anything with warcraft lol but as soon as it's fixed ill play

hell if i get time, ill try to get some smoother animations for that link or get a better link (i dislike that face with a passion )

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

The problem with that link is as follows: it's normal attack animations are with the BIGGORON sword, not the MASTER SWORD. What we need to do is simple: fix the face, change the attack animations, and remove the Hyrule Shield, Master Sword, and Biggoron Sword ENTIRELY.

There existing Zelda attachments already in the resource section, so that's covered... all we need is to add attachment points to both hands. Or...

Add ALOT of weapons to the model itself, and, make alternate pairs of animations. Some could be with the Master Sword+Hyrule Shield, some with the Kokiri Sword+Kokiri Shield (and Hyrule Shield), some with the Master Sword+Mirror Shield, and some with the Biggoron Sword+Mirror/Hyrule Shield.

 

[terradont]

I think it's simpler with attatchments then

I've never seen a model with that many animated alternates before

Just human tower model...

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

There was a rigged villager man model with over 100 animations.

Edit: They were each part of small groups of alternate sets of animations.

 

[terradont]

Nice.

Must've been quite the filesize

 

[gohan43]

dude kokori sword would pertain to kid link lol that model was for an adult link but i do agree with the attack animation lol

"There was a rigged villager man model with over 100 animations."
the villager man model is only 300 something polies, this link is far over that lol so it would need alot less animations

itd be easier to just use my link i guess when i get time, ill post some pictures up here and gav can decide which one he'd rather mines gunna be all about attachment points though

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

We need both Kid AND adult link. This model doesn't cut it.

 

[gohan43]

hopefully when you say "we" you mean the community lol and its not hard to take an adult link and make it kid with some work ill get to work on my link model for it

 

[Supermj]

Nice! You make amazing zelda maps, so this one should be good.

 

[gohan43]

was hoping no one posted after me but still good map

here's my link, what do you think of it?
http://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linket2.jpg

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I like it! It has a WAAAY better face, but I think you should add a little more strands of hair sticking out.

 

[gohan43]

yea i took my high polied link TP and made it into a OoT lol and thats why the hair is like that and not like the Oot one but yea i gotta get them animations done (and i still need to get your truck done still thinking on how to get the turret to spin to attack)

 

[Childeric]

This looks extremely promising. +rep bro. =D

 

[gavdaman88]

Why thankyou.

And it is quite moving that you're actually working on a better Link model it looks excellent so far, and if you do intend to create a young link model eventually I wish you luck as well as a creditation in the finished map and rep of course

The only issue I may have with a model being made for my map is size, anything more than about 1 MB would probably be pushing it... the music even upon compression (and i mean uber compression) and sound effects (yep enemies, Link etc have sound effects from oot) adds about 1.5+ MB already.

 

[lolreported]

Well, it seems too be good, but I have one thing too complain, you have to get rid of the Blizzard Cliffs in your terrain, they look horrible. Or else, good work!

 

[gohan43]

if a model is 1mb, then it must be heavily detailed lol this model will be compressed so i assure you itll be good

when you repped me, you meant to write adult link right?

also im not sure how this could work but i can try adding team color for different tunics

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

The bottom of his tunic is too long.

 

[gohan43]

no its not >.> it looks like it is tucked in like it should be so...bad es

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

http://revolutionmedia.ign.com/revo.../super-smash-bros-brawl-20060510074454171.jpg

It's much higher than the knees. The top of the boot to the belt: There's almost an even length between the white part of his legs and the tail end of the tunic.
On your model it's a 1:4 ratio rather than 1:2.

 

[gohan43]

okay i raised the bottom of the tunic up also thanks for showing me that picture....it wants me to reskin the model damn nintendo and there 20 skins beauty lol

expect another pic soon probably with another skin



BIG EDIT:

Okay i got bad news, all my models from 6 months ago to today were erased (yes link too) so im very disappointed but i will probably just remake the model

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

That sucks the biggest balls....

how many other models did you lose...?

 

[gohan43]

my new gohan edits that ive done (some new things on the model and new skin) both my beautiful links my warthog and alot of other stuff i was working on lol sucks ass

 

[gavdaman88]

It's ok no rush, I'm going to be on holiday soon so the map will slow down somewhat, as well as the fact my job is getting quite busy. Currently I'm just trying to program an accurate queen gohma fight (quite difficult).

 

[Maetira]

B-E-A-Utiful!

I don't expect gameplay to exactly reflect OOT but please match it closely...

And if you could read some fanfics on google and see if you can add sidequests so It isnt just a copy game...

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Fanfics, for the most part, are usually gay. Sorry. They just are. They often involve romances between two main characters (or more) or the authors add themselves into the story. Let him do what he wants, it's his awesome Campaign, not yours.

 

[gavdaman88]

dread that wasnt really called for...

I appreciate your suggestion, however probably if I add bonus material it will be made from my imagination And now that you suggested it that might be a cool idea...

 

[HINDYhat]

This looks nice. Just don't ruin it with shitty controls or something. If you'd be proficient in Jass, you'd use RtC with custom natives so you could have superfastomg 3rd person camera controls.

(but you should have created a new storyline instead of recreating OOT)

 

[gohan43]

Hindy what is the name of this topic?? i believe it is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sooooo the game with be based of course on Ocarina of Time

 

[HINDYhat]

SRSLY? I'm completely aware of that. I just said that creating a new storyline based on the Legend of Zelda lore would be... more interesting, maybe more tempting for players to try out, because lots of people have already played Ocarina of Time. It's quite redundant to play it again, on an obviously weaker engine.

 

[Sabertooth]

Agreed 200%. Because if I want to play OoT I can go get my N64 out, and it's not that hard to "stumble" across it illegally. =/

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Makes a good point, but it's harder to make a great Zelda story based on the lore. I mean, would you rather have a good remake, or a bad storyline?

 

[modler2]

lmao gohan common man remake the twilight one or at least a better link for this game the one that was over 2k

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Gohan isn't making this campaign.

 

[gohan43]

no dread the correct way to say it is...."Gohan couldn't make a campaign"

the only thing that would be easy for a fan fic map is your char is link, something to do with zelda, and the main boss would be Ganondorf lol but youd have to fill all that middle part in

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I'd say just stick to the original storyline. As the saying goes, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it."

 

[Maetira]

"If it ain't broken, don't fix it."

2nd'

But hopefully at the end of this you'll be able to make a new storyline...
or maybe try an lttp campaign?

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

I think he already did something like that before.

 

[Maetira]

Did he drop it or finish it?

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

Released open beta I think. I don't remember, read that thread awhile ago.

 

[gavdaman88]

Open beta indeed, and it was dropped unfortunately at that stage.

As for this map, I'm slightly unsure wether to make a whole new zelda campaign because the remaking of an epic is quite difficult as it is showing to me. The creation of a whole new zelda storyline wouldn't be that hard for me, so well see

 

[gohan43]

well atleast use the terrain that you have so far and start it off like OoT lol MAKE IT PRETTY!!! just kidding lol work hard and try your best
