WIP: Durge (Clone Wars)

[Noxrepere]

Did you name the .skin file with the word "default" in it?

Example: "model_default_toondurge.skin"

and the icon named: "icon_default_toondurge.jpg"

[monsoontide]

It's in it's own folder
with icon_default
and default.skin
(same sort of set-up as the Mara Jade model)

I've tried various results but nothing happens.
The other model shows up fine - but no matter what it doesn't show up!

Is the icon saved as a jpg?

I know I've had problems with icons not showing up, and then I changed it from a bmp to a jpg and it showed up.

Also, I think I've heard that the compression type of the jpg may make a difference, but I'm not positive about that one.

You know, I tried making a brand new pk3 file - same as the other one but new and when I tried it nothing showed up!
So went back to the very original pk3 file and put the new stuff in there and voila! Showed up again - but still no toon version!
Kinda Baffled now!

When you made that new pk3, were both models still accessible via the console?

Do you have the icon, skin file, and the glm in the additional folder for the toon version? I know the skin file can reference textures from other folders so they don't need to be there, but the glm might be easily overlooked when you're moving everthing else around.

There was a shader that was required for the cell shaded look and everything. Is the directory structure in that identical to where the model is located? I don't know if that would cause the icons not to show up, but it's worth checking I suppose.

I know some of those seem like simple mistakes when you've been doing this stuff for a while, but I'm just stabbing in the dark now.

Now you're baffling me!

EDIT: I just remembered that you said it worked spawning in as an NPC, so it probably wouldn't be the shader file.

Also, try placing the icon from the regular Durge in the toon Durge folder. You know that icon works so if it shows up twice maybe something was wrong with the toon icon. Worth a try.

[monsoontide]

When I use the command /model cw_durge/default,
the model changes to the toon version and the player icon also changes.
Everything seems to be in place - images, glm, icons, sounds, npcs, shader etc. I just can't work it out, unless it's something within the glm itself.
I've sent it to Psyk0Sith in the hopes he may be able to figure it out! - Always good to have someone else look over your work - sometimes you just can't see the wood for the trees! (In my case it's usually something obvious!)
Thanks for the help though 7th Jedi.

[Psyk0Sith]

Fixed the cell shaded icon...i already warned you about this...when saving your jpeg files, make sure you use the standard compression .

You also forgot to add the shader to the toon version.

Will check the "regular" shader to see what's wrong.

Edit: Check your default shader in shaderEd2, most of them have errors but i cant really help, i know very little about shaders.

Also you might want to change the "roll" sound when using a saber, it sounds like the default character.

[monsoontide]

Thanks for checking it out. Always start going a bit crazy after working on it for too long and miss the obvious.
Still can't understand why when I make a new PK3 file it can't see the model in the player menu, but when I put the SAME files into the original .pk3 you sent me, it works fine!?!

[MadCow1989]

Maybe an Idea but could it also be that you have too many skins in or some lol

[RJW_ca]

What's new with DURGE!?!?

Sorry. I'm at work for several more hours.
Maybe get to it tonight if I can.
Psyk0Sith says the roll sound is default sound.
Hope to have the problems fixed ASAP.
I tried to e-mail you at yahoo but it wouldn't take more than 5mb and as I've already stated , I don't use MSN messenger.

[RJW_ca]

What was the name of the sound that sounded that way???
can you send me DURGE the same way I sent you the sounds threw email or something or maybe even Yahoo messenger???

I'm really looking forward to seeing that model work ans hearing it with those sounds so I can see if the sound rate is fine

OK! I have the shader working now (including team shaders), so everything is all go apart from the cel-shaded one.

Sorry RJW_ca, I've tried mailing it to you in parts but I can't get through on the yahoo account you specified and hotmail keep rejecting one of the files!

[RJW_ca]

the email to my hotmail worked but I only got part1 and part4

or wait another day for version 1.1 which will correct several minor issues.

[Lei Hng Wei]

I can wait. I'll just make silly screenshots while waiting.

Try this model out in Jedi Outcast, you get hilarious results. Durges body is all messed up and his arms around his head! ^_^;

[monsoontide]

Lovely model, especially consider the limitations worked with.

There's a typo in both botfiles.

The Rebublic will fall!

Rebublic! Woohoo!

Look at that, it's hilarious!

Hmmm, looks like only parts of him are subject to Grip.

Funny pic Michaelmexp!



The update is great. Nice to see those issues cleared up.

I just wanted to mention that the falling1.mp3 sound is missing, so when he falls off a cliff he sounds like Kyle. Also, the shader for the shading on the cel shaded version doesn't apply to the team skins for that version.

Anyways, both simple fixes, but I don't know if you'll consider it worth it to post another update. (Well, three including the typo pointed out by Lathain Valtiel.)

Either way it's still a great model and nice to add to the collection. Great Job! I definately wouldn't worry about any clipping on it, given the constraints of JA's skeleton. (That's most likely why all of Raven's models have near skin tight clothing. )

Sorry to bring this thread back up, but I thought you might want to know in case you decide they should be fixed.

[keshire]

You'd think you'd at least find cell-shaded weapons to go along with all these cell shaded characters.

[tFighterPilot]

Hope you didn't mind that I used your shader in the cell shaded rebel skin I made.
