For those wondering. I have been updating code to work in 95. So now that is done, I may be going in to do more tweaks to the material system.


As it stands 2 issues:

1: I don't really have anything covering during nanoframe so it is mostly black during that process.

2: The same goes when cloaked, it is black instead of showing proper colors. I need to rectify this.

i want to try and see if I can learn from PL's code on piece attachment, however, I am not sure having multiple materials per unit is really feasible so no one get excited yet.


so have a video of a sea butterfly instead!

Cloaking and custom unit shaders (might not apply to you): http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balatest/changeset/1866

[smoth]

played around creating a new unit to try and find a new hole in my unit creation scripts. not really a big deal


I might start modeling this guy next. I am not sure. After the long week I have had I am not sure. Picasso wanted more hand drawings as I go. this is one of them. It would be about half the height of the badger.

WIP angry pup

Great concept, but I think the feet should be bigger (150%?).

Robot chickens spring to mind.

I think behe means an AI-enemy faction.
It looked like some form of cannon-fodder to me too

First thought was of Tremors 3, though.
Feet definitely an improvement I think.
And it looks cool; wonder what it'll do...

[SinbadEV]

Looks like the front third of a gila monster to me... also "Zoids" ... also brings to mind Star Wars troop carriers...

I like it.

Done with this guy, moving on to work on code again for a bit.

Next models would be:
yes, that is an amphibious unit, yes it is a giant lobster.


Giant mega unit(not sure how I am going to do it's legs)


when I named the faction BEHEMOTH, I MEANT IT!

[azaremoth]

Hows that azare?

Perfect!

thanks go to pako for helping me work around the issue with spring's random number generator.





These are based on a configuration file:

Code: Select all

local loadscreens = {
	{
		tipText	= "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.",
		tipColor 	= {1.0,0.2,0.2,0.6},
		tipImage	= "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/5units.png",
	},
	{
		tipText	= "look at all the colors ERHMAGERD!",
		tipColor 	= {1.0,0.2,0.2,0.6},
		tipImage	= "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/panels.png",
	},
	{
		tipText		= "MEGUSTA!",
		fontAlign	= "center",
		tipFontSize	= 48,
		tipColor 	= {0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0},
		tipImage	= "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/megusta.png",
	},
	{
		tipText	= "look at all the colors AWESOME!",
		tipColor 	= {1.0,0.2,1.0,0.6},
		tipFontSize	= 64,
		fontShadow	= false,
		tipImage	= "bitmaps/ui/loadingscreen/awesome.png",
	},
}

return loadscreens

so when I go to do tool tips in the future will be able to setup randomized load screens.

Odds are I will expand this to be a bit nicer but the fact that I have it now is great so I will play with it more later!

[jK]

you got chili working :)

[smoth]

yes, yes I did!

[smoth]

why am I the only one who is playing with this!!??!
