Here's something that's still being worked on: a set of war hammers.



If you'd like to try your hand at texturing the middle one, download the .zip file and have a go at it. In the .zip, there's the .blend Blender 3D file, and OBJ export of the model, and two image files (image of the UV unwrap and an image with the object's Ambient Occlusion map baked into it).

I'd love to see what people do with this. If you have any problems with the model's geometry or its unwrap, please tell me.

EDIT:
It's been brought to my attention that the warhammer is HUGE if it's brough into Overgrowth. As in, it's thicker at it's base than Turner is tall. It's still a perfectly usable weapon, mind you, but I'll upload a smaller version of it any way. Here's a quick untested placeholder hammer, for Sed who noticed it. I'll release better versions later.

EDIT 2:
I have now resized and rotated the warhammer, and replaced the previous package with a new one. Just extract the Custom folder over your Overgrowth/Data (you should get a prompt about a folder of the same name already existing there). Once you're done with the texture, save it over warhammer_2_colormap.png, open Object Browser in OG, and go to /Data/Custom/Endoperez/weapons and choose W_warhammer_2.xml. Then it should work. But it might not. If it doesn't, I probably screwed up something!

Oh sweet, giving out finished UV mapped models to get textured? I'd do it right now if it wasn't so late!
Perhaps I'll try doing that tomorrow...

[Endoperez]

For some reason, I don't get my weapons to appear as weapons in Overgrowth, they just hang there as static objects. I'll try getting the latest alpha, but if that fails, I've got no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've got the OBJ, the hull OBJ, the XML file and the textures - but the weapon doesn't become a weapon and isn't affected by physics.

EDIT: Haha, problem solved. It turns out there's one folder for "Items", and another for "Objects". I kept stubbornly referencing the "objects", instead of "items".

After looking at some of the cool stuff ZramuliZ has posted lately, I decided to mess around and make something. After getting some suggestions on the IRC, I decided to work on creating an in-game piano.





If you step on a key, it will play the corresponding note (I've only set up one octave of the piano).

If you want to create your own music setup, simply load one of the "note" objects (located in the Data/Objects/Piano folder). I've created a little something to show how this could be useful. Try loading up my custom level and running along the gray blocks next to the piano!

I'm currently out on a trip, so unfortunately I don't have access to a computer powerful enough to record a video. You'll just have to try it out for yourself

I maded a sword:




There's some problems with the normals, but once I figure them out I'll probably release the weapon. I might wait until I've got a few of them though, we'll see.

Tried my best so far with the texturing. Not finished though.

[Endoperez]

I fixed some problems I had with the longsword's normal's. It's a bit silly having the big sword take only half of the available space on the texture maps, so I guess I'll have to do another big sword to take up the rest of it!

Here's the fixed longsword model (thanks for the hosting Anton!). In the Zip file there's a folder called "Endoperez", and subfolders. But the 'Endoerez' folder under your Data/Custom/, and load the item W_longsword_1.xml in the item editor. Then proceed to slaughter everyone.

Edit: it seems like I managed to misalign the sword so that it was grabbed from too high up. I fixed that and the zip should now have the fixed version.

Finally finished the texturing:

(Tools used: Photoshop CS5 and CrazyBump)

P.S.: There're some problems on the model I think, on the edges, where the model was unwrapped.

i love your blood mods so far. Great work! I really hope there will be dismemberment

I continued the war hammer/ war-pick theme, and made some farm tools. The shape is so close to the war hammers I did earlier that they can all share one set of animations. Except, of course, that war hammers have no animations yet.




Next, I should start texturing these. I have more weapons ideas already, and I'll probably start working on them once I finish these.

Here is my custom map i make. its still work in progress.
To load up my level type WhaleArena.xml
It has alot of objects so this level takes longer time to load up than usualy.
Also if you see an error just click ok its something with sky texture is'nt right size.

This level also fixes Whalemanstatue.xml file so that whaleman uses now correct shader.

You need to have a look at your AO settings, I can't tell about the passes on that small image but it looks like you've got it set to the default (4 or something) which gives you grainy AO images. Under your environment buttons there is an AO tab, set "samples" to at least 16, that's the lowest number I've found that gives good smooth AO bakes. Also fiddle with the raytrace and bias settings to see of you can get rid of those edge shades, you can see the lines going down the edges of the cylinder in the UV map, it's hard to totally get rid of those, in fact blender has sucky AO options, but you can make them less obvious. Once you have the object textured you probably wouldn't notice anyway, but it's more professional to fix it up.

Thanks a lot! I've learned Blender on my own and haven't really had anyone points these kinds of mistakes to me.

Ohai everyone, now you can test out my new map...WITH LETHAL AREAS AND CHECKPOINTS!



[*]footpillows works as a checkpoints
[*]red kind of rock is lethal area
[*]added a working dogspear (now)
[*]the entrance is the bottom one and finish is on the top of the building
[*]changed some checkpoint stuffs
[*]added arrows not to avoid confusion

[*]Finally added the spawn point

included the Linear level kit in the file so you can install to get the lethal areas and checkpoints work.

Also i made some .xml files so you can hold Easter, eggs but i need somebody make me a proper hold animations.
and little resize would be good too
