Dev Blogs II Discussion

Well, I'm sorry to see it happen, but unsurprised.

Good luck you two; take your skills & talents far.

 

I said what I wanted to Coffee.

To Drag, Huzzah! Thanks for the tank driving scripts but I am happy for you leaving. Too bad the scripts will not come!

 

Well i heard rumors that drags scripts get into the game mr. kun :cute:

 

The hell is that smiley?

 

Even after he is gone? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

:[nospace]cute:

 

check bug tracker. Razorbud has been on a bug fixing spree.

 

Meh. :cute:
But ya did a good job.

 

On the subject of lack of developers empires still needs more artists.

I'm not a developer but me and probably some other people are willing to make new models for empires but I can't texture, and we could use more modellers.

If anyone knows a texture artist it'd be grand if you could get in touch with them.

Also good concept artists are helpful because they can make it much easier to model and texture.

 

Can we trade in 3 coders for 1 modeler somewhere?

BTW: Will 2.25 be released on Steam?

 

I might be interested.. I used to pretty heavy into modding and I still do a little here and there. Most recently I've been working on Firearms: Source doing weapon models and textures. If you head over to their site I did the M-14 and the Chang-Feng SMG(which tbh there is no way on earth to make look good..it is an ugly weapon as they come). I've been telling myself I would love to see nicer models for this mod I just never end up getting around to it. Maybe I can come up with something as an example for you guys.

 

That sounds great, and I'm sure everyone would appreciate the effort.
Are you able to make the models work aswell?
Alot of people around here (if I've understood things correctly) seem to know a thing or two about making a model, but not actually making it work (converting/rigging etc..).

 

Never actually tried compiling anything for HL2.. always had someone else to do it for me.. but Im sure it cant be that hard to do.

 

Yeah don't take my word for it, I'm sure someone here knows and if not there's probably a guide somewhere considering the large amount of HL2 mods.

 

I can model fine and get them into game, the problem I have is that I can't texture them worth a damn. I can make photographs tile and I can make AO and normal maps to start a texture from but I cannot for the life of me add all the little finishing touches in photoshop to make it look like a texture and not like a photograph stuck over an AO map.

If you want, have a go at retexturing some of the BE guns, at the moment they are pretty boring texturewise and they need some nicks taken out of the paintwork and generally less of a plastic feel to them, more bolted metal and less solid black stuff, which is the same sort of thing I'd want doing for the buildings. I'm sure the people on the forums would like better textures for the guns.

 

Aw... well, goodbye, fair coders. You done good! o7

 

Thanks for your time spent on Empires. Good luck with future projects.

Good work coffee burrito, you did great things for this mod.

On a side note, can one of the remaining devs make a list of who's still in the team? The website hasn't been updated for ages and I for one am slightly confused as to who's in or out.
