Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /
« on: February 07, 2005, 05:11:21 am »
I don\'t think that\'s possible [[edit] to leave a watermark], the method of converting is that you select the model in its entirety, press the \"print to listener\" button, and copy and paste the listener\'s text into notepad and save as .mdl.

Also, i was wondering... if gmax uses .gmax, 3dsmax uses .3ds, what uses .mdl? Is that program able to convert to CS?

Topic.

Recently I was working on modeling for a map of mine in Warcraft 3, and there is a .gmax - .mdl exporter that they say works in both .gmax and 3dsmax, and i was wondering if the PS script uses anything gmax can\'t...

Reason being that logically, more people who wanted to pick up modeling, learn it, and help PS would actually be able to if the program weren\'t $3000, meaning more content, variety... etc...

[EDIT] Sorry, more to the point; does it work currently? If not, would it be possible to make it work?

[Edit again] Second note, if not directly from gmax-->CS, would it be possible to make a convert program from .mdl-->CS

Anyways, just a thought.
Thanks!

I just recently got a new computer, and am having the time of my life with PS (i wasnt able to see much of MB, but CB is amazing!)

Anyways, sometimes i notice large chunks of polygon either changing direction, flickering, or disappearing. I was reading in the Wheel of wishes site about the levels, and there\'s some sort of \"window\" like setting that allows you to see through into another rendered section... i don\'t know exactly how this works, but I went and tested it, and it seems to happen almost exclusively when going through doorways... The only exception being in the sewers, pieces of floor tend to remove themselves. I\'m running an integrated graphics chip thingy with 224mb vram.

Here\'s the kicker: on my old computer (integrated graphics chip, 4mb vram :o) )  when i tried games like everquest (i hear that one isn\'t built right anyways, but still) i turned up these types of problems ALL THE TIME, just turn the screen and polygons go berserk.

I have all of my drivers updated, my computer is around a week old (6 days as of the 7th) and i\'m not sure what\'s causing these things to happen. Is there anything I can do? :p

Also, i\'m very much interested in helping the development of the game, but the only skills I have, albeit limited, are 2d (photoshop), 3d(currently don\'t have a program, besides gmax) and music(once again, just switched computers, no program)... is there anything else i would be able to do?.... it\'s kinda buggin\' me.

Anyways, sorry for the long message :o
Thanks!

ok put it this way:
just make it so that the letters look different.

one symbol for a, one symbol for b, one symbol for c.... so on so on its not that hard for them to do, and all they have to do is change the font. there are fonts out there, or they can make a simple one. I can make a simple one if i knew how.

anyone read terry pratchett\'s men at arms?

a gun was made by this genious(spelling???? looks wrong to me...) then they caught the genius and took it (whence he made more stuff while in his tower not goin there tho) and gave it to the assassin\'s guild to protect... then an assassin stole it then the lead assassin stole it from him and hes goin to the top of some opera house killin random people.

long story slightly longer: make a badguy that uses a gun, but no player-owned guns. this guy can be an NPC that spawns somewhere with a different model maybe once in a long long while, lookin like a traveler, then sneaks into the museum where the gun is and takes it, then people see him walking toward a tall place and then he zones and then once every hour or so until he is killed (cant make im too strong can ya?) he shoots someone random in a vicinity of the tower(nothing bad happens to them besides dieing, no items lost/exp)

would be kind of interesting... everyone running around scared that they gonna get shot...

tons of problems with this but ish just my 2cents

When i said language, for EQ u can talk in like gnomish and stuff but it comes out in gibberish to whoever doesnt have a high enough lv in gnomish to know what theyre saying...

i was suggesting something where u can type in english and it would turn out looking like planeshiftian(or insert a better name here) runes or somethin. i dunno if this will work ill try kana just for an example

Say:
?????? ??????? ?????? ?????? ?????????...
a  l  l    y o u r  b a s e  a  r e   b e l o n g ...
and thats how it would look in \"semitranslated mode\", so u can learn it...

and yeah all it really is is a font change, and there are tons of alphabet ideas out there (try http://www.omniglot.com)

certain quests involving writings on cave walls can be implimented with this, among other things...

having the game translate from dutch to english or english to russian is pretty much impossible. noone has been able to write a program to do it, but babelfish gets close... its fun to see what pops out... type \"go away\" and translate it into korean then copy/paste it into the thing to go back to english and it reads \"go toward the enemy far\"

this would make my day...

Wish list / Alphabet...?
« on: May 19, 2003, 04:21:36 am »
I was wondering, since this is to be a special kind of simulation rpg, if there could be some sort of special alphabet system that can be turned on and off...

this is just a curious feature noone will probably use, but its like languages in everquest, but rather than skills for the language representing how well u know it(cause lets face it u dont learn letters at a time in a word, especially just by listening), it can be an alternate alphabet with a couple of modes like having the message then below it the message in normal roman(abcdefg) characters...

This will probably be thrown by the wayside, but wouldn\'t it be interesting?

BTW, it would be kind of neat to be able to write notes on a piece of parchment or something, and then roll it up and send it to someone. i figure all you need is a piece of parchment u can double-click on to add a message to...


Thanks!
