Doom3world

i've actually got mine about done (technically just need some new SFX for it to be 100% finished, play tested in MP & all). There still going to be an e-mail?

Yes, there will be an email address.

"The Happy Friar's Paintball to the Max"

Anyway.... a new mod with new gameplay & (the important part) new weaponS. 4 to be exact: semi-automatic pb marker, full auto, pump (default starting) & semi-auto long range. Fists included to avoid a MP crash & flashlight included. Supports all default Doom 3 multiplayer modes. Readme & how to run instructions included. Images forth coming as I need sleep now (it's 1am). Basically MP only as it's not much fun against current AI.

Each new weapon has a new world pickup model, new view model & new player world model (what other players see & you see in mirrors).

Shouldn't get any crashes in MP games as they all seem to have been squashed during play testing (that's [BTF]Jehar @ tastyspleen).

Still some bugs that don't happen in SP but do in MP that I need to creatively squash, most of them are listed in readme.txt, but none of them will actually kill the game. A map or two based on the new gameplay will eventually be coming.

All modeling (except the arms already in the view model), textures, animation are me. Blender & Edit pad light for 95% of the work (textures in blender), gimp used to make the heightmaps & specular maps. [BTF]Jehar of tastyspleen.com & Pappy-R of Planetdoom.com both helped test.

EDIT: supports all current Doom 3 MP maps.

Here is the email addy for the contest:

moddb.com page for my mod.

I officially announce i'll not submit anything related to the contest.

I have to struggle irl to found another job after some real hard times, so i didn't had the time, nore the will, to make something.
(except a very raw Warhammer marine's bolter low poly model)

the good news is that i found a job monday.

Another good news is that i'll show you all something i've working on for 3 days now, that every one will surelly love.
(i'm really really enthousiast about it)

@THF: I'll test it asap in sp and give you feedbacks, but it certainly looks like you worked a lot on this, so congratz!

Congratulations to all of you submitters anyway!

So far I have received two emails - I hope this is not the end of it...

I'll be away on business travell including Friday, April 3rd, so please send your work till Saturday, April 4th.

I hope not either. some D3 "heavy hitters" said they'd love to do a weapon contest. Eager to see what they've come up with.



it's not really exciting in SP... everything dies pretty quickly. Works, but MP is the way to go. I don't think I removed any SP weapons that aren't used from being able to be picked up, but I did remove references to them in game, so it may crash the game if you pick up a 'nade, plasma, chain gun or BFG.

erm... extension?

Be more specific...

he wants to know if he's allowed to use extendable rods for weapons.

I had first modelled some weapon but at the end I realised that
it was way to detailed.

I have a finished (mostly) submachine gun that I want to enter, if you'll pardon my lateness. For some reason I imagined the contest was just getting underway Aanyway, could you please give me till Sunday night because I need to export the world model plus some minor tweaks.
That way at least we'll have more than two competitors, even if mine is somewhat crappy.

Well, it's a community contest for fame, not fortune - go ahead...

Ok thanks, sent it. Hey Friar, you used blender too I share your pain.

I'm finding blender pathetically easy to use. I'm really really wishing I started using it a decade ago instead of waiting until now.

How easy is it to model a head? Is it true that you can scan a photo and it maps out a grid or something?

It doesn't do it automatically, but you could take a side,front,top image & put it in the respective view & use that for reference. We should talk about modeling techniques in a new thread though.

That's strange, i thought that there were more than 4-5 people interested by this contest when i saw the votes.
Maybe not enough communications about it, i had other priorities and didn't had the time...

So i'll finish my bolter gun just for fun and share it when it's done.

I think this contest was only ~a month vs the boss one that was two months. I didn't realise @ the time, but a weapon is a lot more work then a boss. You've got three models to do (pickup, player POV & 3rd person), but texturing each, plus making the anim's if neccessary.
