Hello Argoon, Sorry no idea, I worked making skins, sounds, particles and textures, but this kind of information go out of my knowlegde sorry [B)]

Progress update:

I have all the interactive stuff working now. keys, locks, levers, potions & torches are all 'useable' with appropriate animations, sounds, etc.

For the hand torch, I made it so that it stays in the player's inventory once it's been picked up, but it goes out when sheathed, and must be relit from a naked flame when equipped.

The bow is working fine for player and enemies, with arrow trails & fx. The only thing left to do there is the model aiming.

I rewrote the player combat so that the combos are more effective, I just need to do 'blocking' and combat is done.

I've made all the SDK stuff compatible with saving and loading, all seems fine there.

So, nearly done! The other chars and monsters should be straightforward enough. I'll upload a video of the new stuff soon, I just need to tidy up my test map.

I'm gonna take a short break for Diablo III, I need some 'killing' time [:)]

Hey Sir Random.

You're pleased with all of us. Thank you (and Harrison as source files) so much for a great job. Anyway, I took a forced vacation (which lasts about a year) from BOD modding. Nevertheless, I can't live my life if I didn't get back to modding, game will be fully fit for new engine of Doom 3. My hope of game release from under this engine to lay down on your shoulders.[:D]

Thanks guys,
I made a quick video of the new stuff. The quality isn't great but you can see what's happening. The bow problem can be seen when I aim at the door, the model doesn't move with up/down aiming but that'll get fixed (somehow). I still need to give the objects 'names' which appear when you get close.

For anyone else playing Diablo3 that got the "Error 37" (or any error), check out this vid:

LOL [:D] [:D] Made me cry laughing...

Argoon, your 1p hands will be used in Sir Random doom3 blade version ? I know how to rig using 3dsmax but don't have much time cause I'm working on 2 games at the moment(one during daytime and another during nighttime.But maybe I can find some free time for the hands you made, can u post a wireframe version screenshot so I can see the geometry.I made these hands recently for "chivalry medieval warfare" http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7279872/masonmaa.jpg and these ones http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7279872/agathamaahands.jpg

Justin i really don't know if they will be used or not, if someone makes a good rig and some animations then maybe, but only Sir Random can decide that because in the end it will be him that will implement them, btw the arms you made look awesome man fantastic job that is the kind of talent this mod needs.[:0]

here is the wire of the hands.

Sir Random the video looks fantastic that is BOD right there, [:D] fantastic job.
Now please don't take this badly, i saw that you used the original BOD models for the potions, and yes they still look very good for so low poly models but imo if we can minimize the usage of original BOD or even Doom3 models the better, on my temple map there's two different models of potions flasks (texture wise the BOD ones does look better but i also can do a better texture, the ones i used are really place holder ones), you really should check them out, there's also other models that could be useful.

Thanks Argoon,

I've nothing against hi-poly models, as long as they blend in with the Blade world. I haven't looked at the potion models yet, but your barrel looks great, and blends in nicely with the Blade textures. New models can be added anytime by just replacing the existing model and adding the new material.

Ok, the bow aiming is working now. I couldn't find a way to rotate the model from the waist up (like the Doom models), so I'm rotating the whole model. This means the player's legs swing with the mouse movement, but it doesn't matter because the player's view is zoomed in while aiming, so the legs can't be seen.
I had this method in mind as a 'last resort', because the model and view rotations would not be synchronised exactly (like first-person view), but after an email from Harrison I decided to give it a go and I'm surprised at how well it actually works. The difference in rotation is only noticeable at extremes (looking straight up or down) and doesn't really affect aiming.

Jeez, I was nearly forgetting about a major element of Blade, the chopping off of limbs with fountains of blood. That's next on the list...

So, would anyone explain to me, what's going on here? I'm completly new (actually I've been registered since 2010 but never been around for too much)

I NEED TO KNOW what is this, you guys porting the multiplayer to the Doom 3 engine? or the single player? both?

is this some serious project or just messing around?

Have anything been released already?

I DON'T KNOW, and the forum format makes it even more confusing to look for info

THIS ALL LOOKS SO GOOD

Only Sir Random can give you a definitive answer, but i have no doubts he is as serious about this project as it can be, even if is only for learning purposes. If he will release anything in the future i really don't know, there's some legal questions still lingering around.

Hello again dear Bladers, I was last days thinking about the limbÂ´s mutilation thing, and came to my head the game Painkiller, in this game some of the enemies got medieval and fantastic style and can be mutilated, they would work fine for have more monsters to include, was just a opinion hehe

Hello Daxon, good idea... [^] but I have no idea if anybody could program a mod with that game, as BOD [:I]

Jajaja! [:D][:D] SÃ tÃo, Â¡se merece una estatua y una rotonda y una calle!
PagarÃa por ver cambiadas las estatuas del "Minotauro" y de "Lola Flores" de Jerez, (amorfas) por un modelo 3D del BÃ¡rbaro y con la cara de SR! Jajaja [:D][:D][:p]

Sir random, much encouragement! [;)]
