I agree that you should keep working on that project. It's certainly a bright idea. ^_^
I mean, RO in space? That's quite a twist!

Why not release what you have to a team and let them finish what you started?

I barely had anything done at the time that I stopped, I could only release some unfinished models and (badly) written code.

I would like to continue the project, but the main reason I lost interest in it is the limited modifications you can do to RO.
The main thing is the limit to visual effects. Can't make new skill icons, can't make environment effects, skill effects, can't edit character displays.

I put my hope into the OpenRO team because of all the possibilities a custom RO client would bring.
The implementation of Ogre3D would have been a massive plus. Sergio had also expressed interest in the project.

But alas, OpenRO has become stagnant, and there are just too many limits on current RO modding to create what I had in mind.
If there came a time when all this was possible, I would gladly start working on it again.

Assignments all done. Finally got a bit of free time.

Part of an expansion I've been working on on-and-off for a few years.
The layout goes like this:

First there's the entrance to the dungeon. The dungeon is supposed to be a big mountain.

That takes you inside the first level of the mountain. So walk around walk around the exit would take you to warp A, which takes you to the exterior wall of the mountain.

Warp B on the outside wall takes you into the next level of the mountain.

After going through that level, the exit takes you to the B warp on the next level of the mountain warp.
Then you go to C etc etc you get the picture.

It looks really good. The only thing I can really be nitpicky about on the map is the lighting on the inside. I would stick to one or two colors or even just one. Of course, when you're all zoomed in inside of it, I doubt you notice it nearly as much. Good work.

Yea it looks a lot better in-game. The colours aren't as vibrant either.

School all done so I'm finishing this model. Going with this so far:

Will probably do more detail on the outer wall/ring/thingy.

Please inform us if you release some kind of demo to play, I'm really interested in trying it.

I love that statue model! It's really well-done. Just love your works

More posts about my statue thing.

Finished everything and brought it in-game. Weird error where textures wont show up on both sides of the polygon.
Don't think it used to do this, and I can't use older versions of BROWEdit to check.
Anyways, this is how it looks in BROWEdit and in-game:

That is gorgeous. Incredible!

Should I even ask how long that took you?

DarkDevine · Jun 16, 2010, 09:11 AM

Nice work.

Can't wait to play this.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. Technically I guess I could say it took me almost a year. The plans for it started in August when I collected screenshots, didn't start modeling until January, didn't do much modeling over the next few months but finished in April, and finally rendered everything out and converted it yesterday.

Further testing seems to insinuate that the error occurs in 3dsmax2010's .3DS format output. Earlier models that didn't have the error were made in max9 iirc.
Gonna try downloading older version of max and see if it fixes it.

Spoiler

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Looks like I have to go back and edit every polygon to be two sided. I have no idea how I did this on my old models.

I think you need a monocle in your avatar picture.

KiraKun · Jun 17, 2010, 08:33 PM

Monocles are certainly cool. Pic was made by a friend of mine and I thought it would be funny to use as my avatar.

Anyhoo, model is FINALLY done. If anyone wants to check it out in-game heres a download link: [derp]
Just modify whatever file has your grf list.

I didn't make the prontera edit, it was just the one the server used, so credits go to whoever did it whether it be official or not.

Edit: Went with filefront instead of my actual site.
