Oh wow, I didn't know that's been put in the game already :D Awesome!
Wonder why he's not wearing the entire suit though. That is indeed Ylian Heavy Armor.

YAY, thanks for the info Karyuu.
When will we be getting the rest of the M.A?
-
entire suit? OMG devs put it all on him and stick it on that guard outside the tunnel. mandatory uniform for the bronze door guards. when will all this cool stuff be implemented all the chains done i think i saw it. any more HA done?
-
This isn't actually useable by players yet though, is it?

nope.
Although i did RP trying to steal his clothes from him... and then he killed me lol.

Technically the mesh-change-upon-equip should already be useable, if not at the moment available to players (the code is there) - what needs to be done for the heavy armor to be effective is the armor skill itself however. Right now the torso piece is the only changeable armor mesh, but I just looked and it seems the Ylian folder within characters.zip (in the art folder) has the plate textures for arms and legs and everything as well. So if you want to see what the entire suit looks like, simply rename the textures so they are the Ylian's default (for example ylianm_arm_plate.dds would have to become ylianm_arm.dds). Remember to backup your original though so you can restore it later.

When will the leg plate and the other stuff be available though, As in Skill wise, so that it protects you better?
Thanks for showing us though, atleast, how to see the whole suit, i'll look into that.
-
I really have no idea when :} Perhaps when more of it is created for the other races - right now the Ylian is the only one. We're a a bit limited with 3D modelers (the Ylian armor mesh was done by a prospect; really good job!).
-
im modding my game now so i can see the full armor and post it. su mreaso nthe sticky outy bits arnt showin :(
*edit*

That cost me 1.7 k to buy him that leather armor lol, and i sold it for 1.2 k!
lol
Anyways, I sacrifice so that you may all see Heavy armor. ;D

Gondric: if you want to see the different torso mesh as well, you have to change it along with the default texture files.
Change ylianm_torso_plate.CMF to ylianm_torso.CMF

Oh my GOD, that is sooo nice.
/me drools
Whoever made that should be instantly promoted from Prospect to WTB member, i mean just look at his fine work, it's beyond Beautiful.
I CAN'T WAIT, to get my hands on it.
~~Datruth

I don't think we've heard from that prospect in a while, though I could be mistaken. The mesh was a lot of fun to texture, and I hope we'll see more material from him soon.

If i knew how to make stuff like that i would, unless there is some kind of tutorial.
Is it hard to make?
What program do you use?
My computer is high end, so i dont' need to worry about being able to run it, i'm sure i can run it, it's knowing how to use it that's the problem.
If it seems easy, i'll tweak around with the program a bit, and make an enkidukai Heavy plate armor.

You have to know how to 3D model to create armor meshes - the most common programs used for this are 3ds Max or Blender (the latter is a free application). To create armor meshes you need to get your hands on the originals in editable format, so you can change it while making sure that it will fit, which are in Talad's possession only - so if anyone wants to contribute with this, they really have to apply to the team, which would mean already having a good portfolio to show.
There are a ton of 3D tutorials online, and as for it being easy - it really depends. Some people pick up on it immediately (usually those who already have some art skills) and others may need to really practice day and night before making something really good. There's no harm in trying it out, at least, so give Blender a download, follow some lessons, and see what models you can come up with :} After you're confident in your skills, send in that application.

Response to first paragraph:
Sent in my application, no word yet, still waiting.
Response to second paragraph: Yea i'll give blender a try and i'll buy :sweatdrop: 3Ds max, lol, hint hint wink wink.
I'll see how good i get at it, hopefully good enough to make some nice H.A armor.
By the way, Can you apply to 2 different Positions?
I applied to Settings, when i'm good at Art, should i re apply to the art department?
If i can't re apply, What should i do if i ever get good with this art program?
-
Generally you have to choose what you want to do more - multitasking can be fun, but it's rarely successful, and you can contribute a lot more by concentrating in one area. In order to be allowed to do more than one thing across departments like that, you have to prove that you're really awesome incredible good.
-
lol with the meshs its incredible. the bit around the head is perfectly shaped for a helmet :)
-
Holy mother 'o' Moly....
That looks ^*%$ing sweet, to be honest.
*runs around maniacly like a 6 year old on crack*
-
/me wonders why it took so long until someone finally noticed the guy with the new armor, erm .. anyway:
Looks great!
Can't wait to see more new Skins/Meshes/Items ingame - i really like the way the devs place small hidden previews ingame ;)
BTW: Krans seem to be the only "naked" race ingame. Is there anyone who's working on Skins/Meshes for 'em?
Greetings
-
Peeg: You should see something nice for Kran in the next client release :]
-
/me bows to Karyuu "That's what i call an insanely fast answer! Yay!"
\\o//
-
/me hugs everyone in sight!! Magic getting tweaked & a kran visual change!!! Happy day, Now all i have to do is wait for the release of next update & NBC's release off it's new show Heroes & i will be on my way to happyland!
-
/me Quivers excitedly
Kran based things?
>insert a rather manic grin here< :woot:
-
WOW just wow!!! That armour just looks so cool!
-
I'm curios about the KRan armor.
Will they be getting all the l.a's and our M.a's.
Or will they only get Light armor skins?
-
i thought they wernt gonna get leather armor only the metal stoof.
thoughts of a kran: im a big rock maybe if i get some leather and cover myself with it ill be better defended ;D
Edit maybe a little bit..... so small u wouldnt notice so inciwincitiny.
-
/me drools
Well even if it's not working why not give it to all the guards? They deserve the best armor and would definately love seeing such things often :D

Yeah, i would Guess that krans would only work with metal stuff really.
But leather would provide a decent cushioning for the bludgeioning weapons that Krans are so sucenpatble too. Luckily for us big rock people, there are no hammers or Maces yet.
Still.... A crazy dwarf with a pick and an eye for the crystals buried in my head is quite hassle enough....

the guards at the ne bronze gate area wear the armour =p
-
Kran do not wear Leather Armor. They will have a "natural" armor that gives them the same basic defense.
-
Awww, but I always wanted to feel like clay....
On another note, maybe the guards at the gates arnt wearing it because of speed or somthing?
There is a Ynnwn (How the hell do you pronounce that?) so I can understand her not wearing metal armor, all that metal comes into contact with skin etc...
I guess that means that the Ynnwn wont be getting any metal armor? Or is it just Gold, silver and platinum that they cant touch?
-
They prefer not to use gold, silver or platinum coins: contact with such metals provokes a skin rash. The wounds that they suffer from weapons plated with these metals are very painful, slow to heal and sometimes lethal. They instead tolerate the orichalc, although they prefer not to handle it too long because of the percentage of gold it contains.
Their armor would simply have to avoid gold, silver, or platinum elements.
-
I'm just curious as to why all the armor hasn't been implimented yet. The mesh shouldn't have to show for it to be implimented, since light armor didn't show until just recently and it worked. Is it that hard to just change the numbers, say change it from light armor's (example) 6 defense to heavy's 20 defense and put it in a shop somewhere?

Hence me asking for ALL the guards to wear things like that. Not just the newest ones that are rather far away from where most of the action takes place.
-
Well, guards are not only Ylians - and that is the only Heavy Armor mesh designed at this time. In the future I would want all guards to have different armor entirely instead of using what will be available to players too.

I had the same question, i mean does it really take that long and is it really that hard to implement these things?
I also thought it would be changing a few numbers and giving it to an NPC, but hey i could be wrong.
Mind to enlighten us?
-
hmm true they don't all are, but at the gates out of the four I believe three are ;)
Give the other one the chain armor as thats flashy aswell with it not being tottally availeble yet to players
Would be a bit more realistic to me aswell as it's kinda strange to see everyone in armor these days, but the guard who should be able to break up a fight between most people have none. Just seeing they are so elite they don't need it seems a bit doubtful as a theory ;)
-
Well, seeing as the guard are all different, they havge their own preferances. Some may like speed better than heavy chain mail and stay with leather.
Other might not favour their agility so much and take a full plate out with them. As long as they each have their own way of dealing with things then its fine, you cant expect someone to function as well, when they are not comfortable with what they are functioning in.
-
most if not all of the chain mail skins are in your "charaters?" zip file in planeshift directory if u just look... why they havnt been implemented meh i dunno no free time ATM
