Ballistic Weapons Reloaded [suspended]

[Torax]

Started a work over a new modification - Ballistic Weapons Reloaded.

In cause that porting original BW mod from UT 2004 is impossible due to engine limitations, I decided to make a mod which idea came from UT 2004 one. Not all content will be remade for UT 99, I don't have much time and skills to make this dream, so i start from my favorites, add something new from my own works and so on.

In BWR will be used some content as come with original BW (sounds, maybe textures and so) with permission of Arn Richert from Rune Storm Team.

In this topic i will post current progress, weapon concepts and descriptions and currently compiled versions. Each new version will include fixes, new content, cleaned and improved code.

If somebody will be interested in this work, I will be very grateful for help (online testing, bug hunting, direct assistance in developing).

For any bugs, please, report me in using this topic

Thanks man)
As to say really - texture isn't looking as I need
Well, the only way to solve problem with texture quality - draw anything i need myself

[papercoffee]

draw anything i need myself

But afterwards can you look proud at your work and say "I did all of this by myself"

I can't understand exactly one thing.
What the hell Milk Shape 3D is doing to the model when exports it into Unreal .3d format?
I'd found that exported models become mirrored from left to wright (only thing i noticed) and i don't know does it mirrors model in other dimensions...

EDIT***
Besides, dat is how are looking model in Unreal 227. Texture layed awesomely

[GenMoKai]

Looks very clean

Looks very clean

Yep)
Think that is result of updationg of my videocard drivers, cozz before it was looking less awesome)
My old GeForce 9800 GT still can make miracles

You should team-up with Gizzy, who is doing the "Counter-Strike: Condition Zero" weapons conversion for U1

You talking about the export problem (mirroring issue)? I found words about something like that in the topic but not fully discovered...

It's not exactly MS3D fault, the Y axis is naturally inverted (in case you didn't notice, the coordinates in UT have the Y inverted).

If you notice, all 227 is flat-shading that mesh though (but the texture looks good).

[Torax]

Thanks for explanation. I really didn't noticed that.
Now will keep in mind to invert coordinates before exporting.

BTW. Ferali, flat-shading is an option in the main prefs, and I don't think it is on by default.
Without doing a fresh install or extracting the ini file I can't tell for sure.

LAST NEWS
=================================
Due to circumstances (found some unexpected render bugs wile compiling, setting NW3 Core as basis of mod and testing), development suspended.
Model issues can be fixed only by recreating it from zero.
Also I will refuse some ideas that I wanted to implement, due to engine limitations.
=================================
Arghh...thought i will finally begin to develop model of next weapon...sometimes i hate Unreal Engine in cause of it's primitivity and necessity in jumping around more than one editor, converting some stuff to some other stuff to let it be converted to another one stuff....
