Games / Rock Raiders FPS
« on: December 05, 2010, 09:37:29 AM »
Remember my Rock Raiders Mod? No? Oh well. Well back a year or 2 ago (originally started in 06) I started working on a Rock Raiders Mod for Blockland, I gave up on that idea since I couldn't get any help with scripting side of things, for the past 3 days I've started work on a Rock Raiders FPS Game (Oh yeah forget mods done lets do an entire game), I'm currently Prototyping a Rock Raiders FPS. So far so good, managed to port over all of my Blockland Models straight into Torque 3D and managed to get this decent game going in 3 days, I completely modelled and textured a new Lego Figure (Not stolen from v0002, because people would suggest that :/ ). Currently I have 4 vehicles and a basic mining system down as well as caverns, caves aren't generated or anything only completely done by hand.

About:
RR-FPS is an online mutliplayer co-op Mining game based off of Lego Rock Raiders, you work as a team to try to mine as much resources/get to objectives etc.
Nothing specific is written down for this game, its just a proof of concept prototype at the moment. With that said for the prototype release I'm planning on getting 4 vehicles in, 2 tools (drill and TNT or something), working caves (Done) and some sort of resource collection/scoring system.

Screenshots:






Features:
Comes with 6 vehicles, Online play (Though you can kill each other) and some test areas you can drill.

Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4ke5ed183o2nxmm

Controls:
WASD - movement
Spacebar - Exit Vehicle
1 - Drill
0 - Unmount Tool/Weapon
Left Click - Drill
Right Click - Toggle Drill
Tab - Change camera view
V - Rotate camera in third person view
H - Ingame Help Window (use it, though its not up to date)

If you're hosting you may need to port forward if no one can find your server.
28000 - 28030 TCP and UDP
Or if you know the host get their IP and press ~ in the main menu and type:
connect("123.456.789:28000", "password", "name");
Replace name with your name, make password " " if there is no password and change the numbers to the hosts IP.

Remember this is still early days and I'm only releasing this because I have to work on other things and I want people to get a feel of what is to come in the future. Please don't reupload and if you want to link it around post this forum thread rather then just the Download Link. If the game doesn't run I honestly can't help you, some known fixes are install Direct X 9 and update your graphics cards. If you get a missing DLL error make sure the dll file within the main rock raiders folder is the same name as the exe (except the .dll .exe parts).

Games / Name my game!
« on: November 13, 2010, 06:09:04 AM »
For the past 7 weeks I've been working on my end of year 3D art course Assignment which we could choose, it was ether work on my teachers film, make our own film or make a game. I choose game because I really didn't want to make a film or work on my teacher film. Anyway...

This game project I've been working on still hasn't gotten a name, I would like to get one in the next week or 2 so we still have time to do Logo art etc, the game is based on Humans vs Vampires Team Deathmatch, its a Multiplayer only game and players can choose to ether play as a vampire or as a human. We're looking for a name that hasn't been copy righted/trademarked etc, its got to be unique and still is in the theme of the game. The game is based in olden style times (Medieval etc), with it being semi realistic and fantasy. I will not accept stupidity related names.


What do you get out of this? Bragging rights and thats about it. I also will be posting this game for everyone to try and play once we're done in the next 3 weeks.

Forum Games / 200 Poly Character Competition! (yndaaa Won)
« on: October 21, 2010, 08:46:07 AM »

200 Triangle Character Competition!
Ends October 31st!

Its about time I get to see what 3D modellers of Blockland are really made of, with a low poly character competition. I thought about this over the past few days and I thought I'd give it a go to see how well people actually do. Why you want to enter this you might ask? Well the prize is a $5 game on Steam, easiest $5 game you'll ever get? Probably not but its all in good fun and practice anyway. The competition ends on the 31st, so make sure you get all your crap done by then and post it because on the 1st (after I get some sleep from the 24 hour Halloween game comp I'm going to) I'll be judging all submitted 3D Characters and tough to anyone who didn't submit in time.

Rules of Entry:
  • Maximum 200 Triangles or less
  • Texture resolutions are restricted to 256x256 or equivalent (E.g. 128x512 or 64x1024)
  • Post screenshots of your 3D character below with a link to a ZIP containing the 3D model and Texture (Export as .3ds)
  • Rig your character and do a short animation of your character and put it on YOUTUBE (OPTIONAL but recommended)
  • A 3D model thats actually yours, I'm not even kidding.
  • You cannot ask me, Packer for advice or comment on your current progress, I will not respond.
  • You are allowed scenery/other models in your animation/screenshots and they have a limitless poly count.
    However, any weapons/swords/shields etc that the character always holds on their persons counts towards the poly limit.

What I'm looking for:
  • Originality, its nice to have something original.
  • Character that expresses Emotion, even if its a static object give it emotion.
  • Models that you have spent time on, it really shows when people don't.
  • A Textured character, a character thats actually textured. (I expect you to cry when doing this BL modders)
  • Animation, animation will really show off your character!
  • Lighting your character, I like being able to see the character and lighting can really shows it off.
  • Shading, use those smoothing groups people and properly!!!
  • Some scenery to show off your character is always nice, but just because you can it might make your character look worse.
  • Presentation, if you half arse it then honestly you don't want to win in my opinion.
  • A short description of the character, where has he been, what does he do. Is he anything special or an ordinary Joe?

This isn't a themed competition so let your imaginations run wild! You got 200 triangles think as many ways as you can utilise each tri, think about using transparency in your texture for extra detail. Get to it people, you got 9 days and if you dedicate 30 minutes per day to your character thats 4 and a half hours work on the character.

Note: I may update this post so check it every now and then.

Off Topic / Law abiding citizen (Hated it rant)
« on: September 20, 2010, 07:51:50 AM »

Spoilers etc

Wow I've never been so pissed off about a movie before, I watched this about 3 weeks ago and it still pisses me off. To understand what I'm talking about you have to watch it yourself. I don't understand who or what this movie was supposed to stand for. One guy's family dies and the law fails him, he gets pissed off and tries to show how the law is flawed.

What gets me the most about this movie is who the "Hero" of the movie is, some movies there's no hero and thats usually plain in site, but I was rooting for this guy who's family was killed and there was no justice. Then there's the black lawyer who didn't pursue getting the guy who killed the other guys family thus him being the victim of how the justice system is flawed. After you've watched the movie the white guy's plan gets foiled and ends up dying. But at this point the movie portrays the black guy as the Hero, I was seriously pissed off due to the fact the law was flawed, the black guy was a egotistic lawyer who didn't serve justice due to his win loose ratio or whatever it was.

So in the end what do we get, white guy dies in vain, black guy is hailed a hero, justice system is still flawed and forgeted to hell. Morel of the story, black guy wins because his ego is better or... its just another AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD bullstuff again. Of course there's nothing wrong with the justice system in America, because thats not American. You probably can't see this if you're an American but because I live in a different country with different laws (Not hugely different mind you) I get this really bad vibe from the movie.

Overall this movie rubbed me the wrong way and I hated it just because of it.

Off Topic / Get Lost Devil Translation (His name is Lou)
« on: September 13, 2010, 08:46:48 AM »
Its probably garbage but I couldn't be bothered to do it myself. Translate the red cards using the white cards, its the text from the Devil in Get Lost. Remember its card sensitive!


I really love this game, I honestly can't stop playing it.

Off Topic / Youtube and Google Images
« on: July 30, 2010, 09:06:00 AM »
Quite aware of the Google images thread, but honestly forget off Google, stop trying to fix something that already works fine. Youtube AUTO PLAY, it is driving me insane turning it off every new bloody window. I now can't just see my latest subscriptions I have to sift through utter stuff just to get to it and all of these bloody splash screen effects are enough to make me weep. Google Images now takes basically double the time to open up an image rather then just click and click done. I don't mind the new layout but is it really necessary to enlarge the image slightly and make me wait to load the website then the image during loading.

For Christ sakes I'm sick to death of change, I don't need change, STOP loving CHANGING EVERYTHING.

Mapping Help / (Solved)Texture Painter not applying new Textures
« on: July 07, 2010, 05:27:20 PM »
I've gone into the texture Painter and have added a new texture to it (Correct scale/Resolution) but it keeps reusing the old default textures that come with Blockland, I've even tried loading other textures from other maps that come with Blockland and they keep going to other default textures (specifically Slopes Snow and Rock).

Did I miss something or has Badspot broken the texture painter?

Games / Zelda World - Alpha

Zelda World is finished, got sick of the C&D comments and working on it, fun while it lasted :(

Torque 3D

Nintendo 64:
To lazy to take images yet and its 2:25am.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you're wondering about the Engine change, I've moved it from Torque Game Engine 1.5.2 to Torque 3D 1.0.1, the change has given me problems but it also removes other major problems I was having in TGE1.5.2 so its been a fair trade.

« on: June 18, 2010, 09:16:21 AM »
On Wednesday next week we're having a Game Character cosplay and I need ideas of simple things I could do, I was thinking of a Space invader cut-out of cardboard, I'm going for something cheap and can be done within about an hours worth of effort. Ideas!?

Also I'll be recording this day with my Video camera, hurray for uploading stuff youtube videos of cosplay days!

Current ideas:
Pixel art cutout,
The guy from valves logo, just a valve eye patch

Can't do cardboard box of "Snake", 10 people are already doing this.

Off Topic / Last Night I had a dream about the BL forums
« on: June 12, 2010, 04:15:45 AM »
In my dream the Drama board was removed and all drama threads got posted into Off-Topic, total mayhem. I think the forums is starting to effect me 5 years later.
