Lair Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 This is the discussion of how to bring the Rockwhale (also known as Rock Whale in other countries) into the PC Game. Sciguy now what were you saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We can add certain animations by editing files from the wad and we can add certain behaviors by editing the cfg file. The thing is, how do we make ot completely docile until a RR disturbs it, then have it follow that RR everywhere till one or the either dies? We can use the sleeping mode, but I have not been able to find how to do that from the cfg file. In my mind I see a RW sleeping, then a RR disturbs it, and the RW chases the RR until one or the other dies. If another RR damages the RW during the chase, the RW starts chasing the RR that hurt it last, with a timout between switching targets, so the chase actually goes somewhere.

RockmoddeR Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hmm...idk how we would do that. Also, what is the point of the rockwhale as a creature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Sciguy: The specific habits are defined in the cfg, and though it links to a LWS file, those are uninportant, the AE has habits you can add or remove, then it has links to the LWS file (replace ahsleepy with walk and have rmonsters walk in place when asleep). So these habits can be added to the Rockwhale AE file, then linkes to the lws (THe LWS and LWO files are the troubles). The CFG links to the ae, the coding for creatures tells what actions they do in the game (Pilot drilling speed) where as the AE it links to tells smaller habits (Pilot inactivity, where they look at clipboards) Falcon: What do you mean?

sciguy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ok, so it is not as impossible as I thought (man, you guys found out a lot more while I was gone, gonna have to catch up). This will just take a little while. But, can we just do a little manipulation to add the chasing part, or are we going to need to do some extra coding for that?

Lair Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well, monsters chase buildings. I don't know about mobile objects. No coding found yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 yeah, thats going to be the tough part. But, if the coding is for the monster to approach the location of the building, then it may be possible to implement it with a mobile object Oh, and about the sleeping, if we add the sleeping characteristic to the RWs files, How will e define it going to sleep?

Lair Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 I dont see how. At current my concern is making LWO/LWS files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Have fun with that I really wish I can contribute more than ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 the thing more concerning than modeling (easy for some like mouse) is the skins, which refuse to be linked to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I would help, but i done have blender/Milkshape.

Anonymouse Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 You can get blender. You just need to learn it xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 You can get blender. You just need to learn it *feels sick at thought of Bl-can't say word* I'll try again, but I need some help with texture fitting and LWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Does Blender have registry entries? If not: can someone zip a pre-installed one and send me it? If it does: what would happen if i try to run it without the entries? I would do it, but..ya know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Lair, repeat after me: B, L E N D E R, BLENDER Yeah, i have it, read the wiki and google what questions you have, it is complicated. I have had a little time to see it. If you cant afford photoshop, get GIMP, its a high end prog with a ton of capabilities but is FREE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 I can't afford anything. That's why I always ask people if they know something wihout nast watermarks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apemax Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 TheDoctor you can get a portable version of it that will run of a usb stick. i don't think that has registry entries. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ya, GIMP is freeware, no watermarks, highly devoloped, packed full of features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yup. And better than PS Anyway, doc, http://portable-freeware.com/ is your friend... Installers, but they make no registry entries. I hope that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
