So, with this uber-cool death realm, do you think we will have a problem with piles and piles of dead people, never ressurected because they want to stay in the death realm?

No female Dermorians? I think that has to be a typo, why would they model it and everything for MB, and then not include it in CB? Seems like a waste to me...

Maybe we could have a special cavern where ppl. can go to die as they please. Or create said tunnel so that there will be no body-pollution in Hydlaa (but it\'s a long way home in case of a resurrection). :)

Because they changed the model file format so that they aren\'t compatible and cannot be converted but have to be re-created from scratch.

yes, but did you loose the actual models of the Chars, like if they used 3DsMax, couldn\'t they just load the models makes bones & animation & export to Cal3D instead of .spr? I am sure you can convert the raw models to a program you can export cal3d... they must have gotten rid of the model? or lost it...  :rolleyes:

Well that doesn\'t make any sense...
Why would you want to have to totally model a Char over just to make it look different? You can still \"Cannibalize\" as I call it the model & such as taking the legs/arms & building another torso that looks totally different, also you would probably use the old torso anyway, just add/subtract some poly or whatever if you want, if they need to make the cloths different, take the cloths off & patch the model up & re-texture it... maybe they just didn\'t get around to doing this, but why re-model the entire thing from scratch is a complete mystery to me...
All that extra work? ?(

:] oh, I think that means re-do \"animations\" only... not the model itself.... I would understand remaking the animations but the models...

They had to be completely modeled from scratch because the MB ones were done in Maya and cal3d requires 3ds max.

I think it\'s more like going from animated GIFs to skeleton-based models. They\'re totally different and thus conversion would be way harder than redoing from scratch.

Edit: Venge beat me to it by some seconds. :)

Oh really? There aren\'t any good Maya --> 3DsMax plugs? that sucks... :rolleyes:
* Does to see if he can find any.... *

You could have always exported to a format that Maya can export to & 3dSMax can import to...

It\'s Maya->Cal3D tools that you\'d be looking for, as that\'s the format of the skeletal animations that CS uses.

I know, but they wanted to do it in max, so they would have to export to max or somthing then re-do the animation then export to Cal3D...

Whatever the reason, I trust the model experts that they didn\'t put unnecessary effort into it. I suspect they have thought about it carefully before making the decision.
Probably there were other factors as well that made a redo a better option but anyway I think they wouldn\'t have done so if it was a waste of time.

I think it would be cool for people to just leave their corpses in the plaza if they want to see the death realm. Think about it, a newb downloads the game. Reads the readme, loads, updates, creates a character.
Finally, the load into the game to see.....
