At Sands of War we also once believed in all that shit with a big studio name and such. For a year or so we worked as Defcon Software(http://www.defconsoftware.com/) and was affiliated with them for some time after also.
For the last year or so we have been completely independant and not had any kind of studio name though. We learned it the hard way that having a fine and professional looking compana behind our mod was just not the way to do it.
Ok thanks for the info, I have had a hard time finding the bug in that vmt:D Ahh well just yet another bug...
I got a problem with that a material which causes it to be reverted in hammer or ingame. Currently it looks fine in Hammer but the two textures are switched around ingame.
This is how my vmt looks:
"WorldVertexTransition"{
"$baseTexture" "hourpitores/rock1"
"$baseTexture2" "dev/valuesand40"
"$surfaceprop" "sand"
"%keywords" "rock sand"
}
Is there anything wrong with that vmt? Or is it just yet another bug in Hammer?
That is also what I thought when I started on gmax.
For further info you can also see this post by a Discreet guy:
Well many people also played HL2 despite it being delayed a lot and having features cut.
I got no console that is how I like it to be...
Ok I have researched some further on the subject now. Gmax does not have built in .mdl export for any game, so exporting to a Quake model is not possible.
I have also found out that all attempts on making a Source exporter for Gmax would be illegal and so would all attempts to do it through other formats.
It seems like my gmax modelling have been mainly a waste of time:/
Quote from HourencesIs there a polylimit ?
Yep, 1024.
Happy birthday.
I just read some of it and I it looks just fine to me.
Great work Swifty! You made a 164 poly weapon look good:)
Wow ugly hack:D Thanks a lot for the info!
First of gmax can not render, but that does not bother me much as I just want to use it for games developing. It sucked quite much though when I realized that it is impossible to export to Source from it and any other normal formats.
So I have installed 3ds max now as I know it can export to Source. But when I tried to open or import my gmax models it would not allow me! Is it really true that these 2 so similar programs from the same firm can not work together?! If yes, is there any workaround? I badly want the models I made in gmax over in 3ds max so I can export them.
Sounds quite mad:D A Queens song is just so not-Matrix alike.

i can open hammer while offline, you guys must be dumb. I do alot of mapping when im on the train so u guys must be doing something wrong
Yes mapping offline can work if you can actually get offline mode to work - which is rumored to have happened to some guy once...
Sounds cool! Do you need people now or also use who first finished highschool in half a year?
Nice with the custom stuff.
Nice improvement from the first versions!
Curman yes a normal would do something of it.
D3ads: There are some threads about it around here. Here is the ultra short version:
Normal maps can be made in PS with plugins and they can also be generated from a model.
Specular maps are for the shine, think blank metal and wet/waxed floors.
