I thought you were never coming back! It's nice to see you again, though! It's kind of funny I just watched this movie yesterday. Everything looks great. With all the pieces your making you must be a busy bee! Can't wait to see the others!

This is absolutely incredible work! And it's nice to see you again too, 'cause you make fantastic objects and projects!

One question:

The two swords and the logo: can you change the logo or is this a part of the object?

The two swords and the logo: can you change the logo or is this a part of the object?
Logo is not billboard, but it isn't together with swords. So you can replace it with real billboard piece or custom.
The swords are made in one piece, I've cloned it other one to become a gate.


I have done bit of shadow improvement, on most of roof pieces. The flooring is nearly done. And add the vendors inside the ticket offices.

Question:
Can I make more than one vendor in one piece?
Or Is there any custom piece that I can find only vendor without any piece of model?

In case, some of you are new - there is a picture I made very while ago.

1. I don't think that anyone tried this yet, so you have to experiment
2. No, I don't think so.

Have you only placed vendors or did you get a working shop? If the latter is the case, I'd be highly interested, as so far I couldn't get custom shops to work.

1. I don't think that anyone tried this yet, so you have to experiment
I will testing very soon, see if it is possible.
But to be classfiy, do I have to set the special scenery (like parameters or scenery type) to get the vendor appear? Or just put effect point alone that will show in the postion?

Have you only placed vendors or did you get a working shop?
I haven't try it yet, after when I understand how the vendor work, then I will start on custom shop, because it will going to big part in the Hobbiton area.

[EDIT]
So far I have been looking the log from "CustomStall" in the RCT3 dir.
And it has 5 effect points. 4 of those are for the queue. Naming "peep**"
And last one is for the "vendor"

[EDIT2]
Also in the SID, You may have to set "Stall" in type to get the vendor appear. Cos every shop's "vendor" in the effect point have "stall" set it on. Maybe flags too.

Belgabor
11-22-2006, 05:13 PM
I've done a lot of dump research and set up everything I could think of like in the game stalls, it still doesn't work. The vendor appears, but I get an error about peep bones, which refers to the peep effect points. As I have added them, I'm completely clueless at this point.
But don't let that discourage you, make your own experiments, maybe I missed something small and you get it to work.

I think that for that gate entrance, you should have the swords resting on each other, instead of going through eachother, I just think that it would add a little more realism to it, and also, maybe a nice little border around the actual sign.:D

I know that it is easier said then done, but just some suggestions,

ah, but it is not my finalise of course. Bit of errors on it and one of my worse model, but hey it is only test model.
Also it is not part in this project, because I only want to get the shop working for next project. Now we can get one own.

But if anyone want it to be finalise, then I am happy to clear it up and upload soon on the new thread.
Anyone?

iceatcs nice job. But i cant really say i am surprised you have figured out so many first in the RCT3 community.

Here is the list i believe is right

First Alpha textures

First scrolling sine

First bench

First billboard

First custom stall

I can only imagine what else you might figure out as this set goes on.

Yeah i know, it do surprised me too but I won't be able to find out without Potter (from RCTextended.com) and Belgador.

Belgador should be the first person discovers the shop but he made a tiny mistake from the order of effect points.

Love the kissing booth iceatcs! Although the peep looks a little young to be selling smooches...

I still think it would be a fun booth to use in a park, and I hope you'll consider releasing it!

Lol, yeah Mr. Jobsworth (Inspector) won't be happy at all.
It is possible to release very soon. Once I have to correct the matrix boxes (effect points) and clear up the texture.

And I am wonder if vendor is ransom? Is it possible to change man or woman vendor.

Lothlorien is quite far away. I am starting where it is on the north-east of Middle-Earth... Once the sandbox have fill up then I will release all of each pack.

Maybe 3 areas - Entrance, Hobbiton and The Grey Havens will be the first sandbox project.

That's sine also looks great. this should turn out to be a great set.

12-06-2006, 02:08 AM
So far with some need to done:-
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/iceatcs/Shot56519.jpg
All of these small buildings will be some of shops, service centres and cafes.
Once I have done this area (Entrance) then I will going to start new "Park" thread with Hobbiton or Gray Haven.

How many different parts make it up?
Not too many. But there have already got 4 packs from this picture.
The biggest pack is from the long building with vines on it. Maybe about 19.

I was wondering if you were going to do the plains of Rohan
Of course, it is one of my list... All the common areas you see from all 3 movies are on my list too.
BUT it is depend if I am still around to the end :P

Are the vines in the roof texture on separate alpha textures?
yeah it is but it has curve shape designed on this pack's roofs. Not sure how much perfect for these vines match to other scenery packs.

Is this a wall kit or is it actually the whole building? Just wondering but great job man. Yet the style seems odd with that type of forest I kind of expected a tropical swamp with that type of building.

It is actually the whole building - office, shelf and kid area are in one in 3x3 sized.

I have thought about it, but I think some parts in the office area will be better off staying non-themed like many real-life theme parks.
Like I don't need to make counter desk or shelf from LOTR etc....

Kid area is possible for next texture improvement to make it more match - like green slide, little ivy plants over it etc...
These white walls are non texture and it will change like the background with some LOTR's font signs. It is only just testing model for now to see if it is doing well in game.

If I change it too much theme based on LOTR, therefore it might look clash with other theme.

Yeah of course, there are the biggest required for some dark rides and many others.
I will try to get many characters from the books, for each area.

Anyway I have update texture for the lost property office, with new overhead sign.

This is just an absolutely stunning set! One thing I notice is that the textures used might look better if they were a little darker or with more contrast in them. the lighting just looks flat. It might be that these pictures do not show the set at its best, and in any case, it is still a breathtaking theme to behold :D

Which one, the 'Lost Child' wall?
I've lighter this wall bit early, maybe I should make it stay same one like the back wall on the last photo on this thread.

Also I'm think to get rid the children area's wallpaper to plain colour. Therefore it will have much more room on the bitmap texture for stems wall and some new posters, which stems wall is little stretch and I can make it less.

^ Maybe a bump map would help that.
I don't think RCT3 3D engine do support bump map feature, do they?

Well it is what I am doing but it is automatic way for bitmap texture, but to me I would rather to use on Photoshop.

The real bump map effect in the game should be like that, which RCT3 don't support it:

Iceatcs is right, RCT3 does not use bump-mapping. What MaxInfinity refers to is adding a static bump-mapping effect to the bitmap texture.

Appart from that it looked absolute brilliant you shouldn't lost yourself too much in details (PC on the table).

I have the problem, that too many details crashing always my park.

Don't have to worry, it is only about 50 polygons (About 20 faces) for whole computer kit. The highest is the Lost office was about 750 polycounts but it is 3x2 sized
*(Remember 750 polygons is everything you see on post 79 (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8248742&postcount=79). Yes! inc. the Kid area with the slide.)

Final textures will going to have 3 different size versions: - 512x512 for High, 256x256 for medium and 128x128 for low LOD.

[EDIT]
Thanks to the latest version from belgabor's importer that it can count the number of polygon from 3D model.

I have the list of the all the interior services:

Lost Office - 736 polygons
Lockers - 94 polygons
Medical Centre - 230 polygons
Guest Service - 260 polygons

(All are 3x2 sized.)

How on earth did you do that with 20 faces? It must be 3 cubes minimum which is 36 faces, no?

One face with 4 points has 2 polygons. But you still can call it face as polygon but confuse easy.

I doublecheck on the computer model, it has 68 polygons.
The keyboard and mouse are made from a cube shape.

Lol, I was thinking to put the RCT3 on the screen as well.

Belgabor

Make it animated, so it cycles between them at a slow pace so it shows the normal progression of events:
- Bios boot screen
- Windows screen
- RCT3
- Bluescreen

Split the 3 LOTR movies into frames and load them into the importer. Belgabor said it can handle billions of frames. Lets see how it copes with 874,000. :dbz3_2:

Copyright issues aside, I said it theoretically can handle that much, but I seriously doubt it really works :p
Probably would look crappy in 256 colours as well...

Moby
01-03-2007, 03:24 PM
I think the importer could handle a very large no. of frames (maybe not THAT many) but the game couldn't.

LOL Got a few years to spare?!

V17 yes, it would have actually taken years. V17fix1 maybe 20 mins!!! Thanks to Belg.

Belgabor
01-03-2007, 03:38 PM
I'm not sure if that is really true. All of that has to be in memory in uncompressed state, so it will very likely crash.
In the other case you're right, it will be a lot faster in fix1, setup would take even less time, but I cannot predict how long the Create OVL step would take (if it worked at all :p ).

The next project I am doing is something you can make your own. You will see it very soon.

It will be going to part in the shop on the next building.

how many LotR parks we will see when this comes out?

I haven't yet working out... For avoid to possible crash, I will make 3 to 4 areas on each park files.

You used a different alpha channel for each frame?

Yep that's right.

I realy like that bridge
And All that fantasic houses
But do you gonna make isengard, rohan, gondor or mordor too???
Thanks, Minosha but next time, don't quote the post with picture, just quote a text only.

Yeah of course, all of the most common places in the middle earth will be recreation.

I have made the special way by use billboard technical that you can make a logo of the park on nearly every item in the shop by one gone.

It will be independence project where it will be finding on other thread because it is not refer to LOTR. So you will find this thread very soon, after I have to clean it up and maybe your suggestions can be change it better.

I have special way to mapping to separate logical.
You will need to download this picture to arrange of your own designs in correct place.

There is testing custom billboard shop with unfinished building. The shop is not working yet, but it can be use the vendor only on it.

iceatcs, this is a really great idea!!! But you should explain a little more how it works when you finished this set and release it. Is it "just" that black matrix that we must fill out and can we leave something empty e.g. if we don't want that big bag in our shelfs???

It is just like billboard, you will find this model in the billboard list, and you should use all of the layouts to use your own design. If you leave nothing on it, and it will be nothing on the items in the game (just BG colour).

And other thing is the object you may like to replace these will be very hard to find, cos the positions.

I would really love to make every things to separate but since the billboard list are far too small, and there is no group option. It would be too messy long list.

UNLESS if anyone know how to remove this item to other list OR make the billboard group working?
