So, what the hell was i working on before the summer/uni exams maddness hit me at full speed? i accept tips on what to do now

Don't really know:
- New forge models?
- Wall training models?

A start on a new room?

ill start by fixing the punching dummy animation and then the other training models: targets, armor dummy and lastly rolling device.
After that, forge texture and new models as i showed in the summer updates concept.
And then the new cannon and trap.

Cool, looks fine.

Wasn't there some kind of pike grid trap somehwere around, btw?

Rest regards,

Btw, when you will have time, new beds for creatures would be welcome

the spike trap is already in repository since long;

i curse the need for so many different beds!!!

Yes, but as a .blend, can you prepare the mesh/material files?

Arf, only up to one per creature.

Not sure why you use beds. I'd suggest a pile of hay, which you could just resize to fit the creature. Beds are so... not dungeon monster material.

I agree that some more "dark, damp and dangerous" objects could be fitting, such as slimy lairs for big monsters, small caves or piles of gold for dragons... :-)

By beds we mean anything a creature may sleep on, be it a pile of gold, a tomb or hay bed.

Thankfully, heroes will mostly re-use the basic bed with different skins to denote to who it belongs (plain grey for adventurers, rich green for knigths, golden with embroided shields for kings/nobles...) that will save up a lot of work. But even so, lets say we have over 20 different monsters plus 5-7 non bed user heroes; that makes near 30 beds to make ( plus animating while using it)
Its something i have to crack on the long run, concept and re-use when i get to it. My only consolation is that they will be very simple

Ok, adding to my TODO

I totally agree


For now, beds will come after i finish the planned rooms, and ill make them only for final creatures models.

Fixed TrainingDummy1 :
please, replace .mesh and .Skeleton in repo with these ones, now only the rope and dummy moves after being it, not the whole model

Thanks!

Makes me think, could you fix the cavehornet model so that it uses a cavehornet.skeleton and not a Insect_low.003.skeleton file anymore?

Regards,

Ok, one more thing for my TO-DO

Meanwhile, here you have the second model for training room

Great!

Cave hornet:
Corrected skeleton name, please someone replace old files for these new ones and delete "Cavehornet_nor.png" and "Cavehornet_spec.png" from Materials/textures, they wont be needed until normals are working again (ill re-export the model to use them when ready). Also delete Insect_low.003.skeleton from credits file.

Troll:
Last iteration of the troll added a new issue, a normal problem that made you able to see trougth its mouth/jaw the floor; please revert to this .mesh, i dont see any problem after reverting to this old .mesh.

Spiketrap:
Ready, without normal map, animation is called "Triggered"

I've seen that TrainingDummy1 has a jpg image file for the texture. Every other models have png files for texture (including the previous TrainingDummy1). Could you check if it is normal ?

Actually its not much of deal, but i have been converting them to png since all others textures were png, kind of a small policy. Ill reupload it today since it was my slip. Thanks for the heads up.

Updated TrainingDummy1, now with png texture; i wish i had something big to report, but no...

I've added the training dummy 2. They are nice I've added them as central active spot because they take many space and they would go through the wall if on wall active spots.
Cavehornet is changed and no problem
Troll is changed. I've seen no difference but I didn't see the bug so I would guess it's ok.
Spiketrap mesh is added but not tested

I checked before uploading by changing name with training dummies, and animation of spike trap works fine.

Guess what? training dummy 3 is here! This guy train your minions the hard way ; its tested and working.

ok, good

Danimal {l Wrote}:Guess what? training dummy 3 is here!

They look nice. I'm gonna have a look ingame

I have almost ready the last training dummy; see below what i meant with the two torch models, ill redo them with more polis and realistic textures, but you will get the idea of their future shape

Hi Danimal,

Thanks for the pics

Personally, I do think the metallic one will be great as a light editor entity.

I would have liked to say that I was in favour of the wooden one for in game use, but as long as we're not supporting
particles (to create the fire in that case), the torch will remain weird looking.

So I'd be for using the metal one for both in game and in the editor. But maybe with different scales.

Best regards,

working on the lamp, probably ready tomorrow afternoon
