[WIP] Door Set

[samous]

I'm working on a set off doors, just plain ordinary doors, thats all. Some will have the diag. feature, some will be open/closed, but still just doors. I'm making this set b\c there are no doors seperate, just 1 or 2 in a complete CS set. Here is my progress:

2 Doors in-game, closed. Same texture on other sides.

so, how am i doing? Please remember, this is the second CS set I have ever attempted.

[liamrocks]

Very nice, I really love the second doors in the first pic. They look amazing. Keep up the great work. (open doors would look cool too!)

[TheChicosAStar]

Looks great. I hope to see more progress soon

[samous]

UPDATE: now a total of 7 doors, including open ones, 5 closed, 2 open.

actually, i'm only doing neek peeks b\c i keep getting no svd for sid error :(

[liamrocks]

^cant help ya there! I personally would use all doors open, and all closed.

[TPM INC]

If your getting the no svd for sid error then I have to say that's kinda sad. But I can fix it up for ya. Inside your cs folder in the themed directory you should see another folder with the same name. Move this folder out into your themed folder and delete the other one. Hope that makes sense.

[Ryan Nugget]

Sucks about the No Sid. This is a long overdue set, can't wait keep up the great work!

[The_Cook]

Very professional looking, and you've done it using texture maps rather than trying to model the detail so they'll be no complaints from about high polys.

[SeniorDIEGO]

Very nice set.
Keep making doors :D

[ronspear]

WoW i like this set! ;)

[Vodhin]

open your theme in the importer and then click the File Menu > Detect Problems.

When making a theme, the no sid for svd error means that you renamed a text string, icon name, or have an OVL already in the game's theme folder that you removed from the thene (the importer will not remove OVLs from an installed theme- you should allways delete the installed theme folder when you rename or remove any model, text name or icon name...)

What version of the Importer has this "detect problem" mine dose not...

[DjLegoLas]

will the doors animated?

The newest one, v18beta2, available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=181524

There's already a full animated door set.

did that, but i know what the problem is anyway, i just was too tired to fix it yesterday. Thanks for all the THOUSANDS of replies, more than i expected :eek: Not all the doors look good open, so i'm only doing some open, and some closed. NO DOORS ARE ANIMATED! that takes too much time and effort (for me). AFAIK, also add some sort of lag of some kind. All doors are 12 faces, except the open one, which are 36-24 faces. Forgot pollys. Should cause NO LAG. Un fortunately I have to completely re-do the installation b\c my theme file was currupted, but I saved all my 3D objects, so I don't have to re-do them :) Get back to this soon :)

=samous
-note: i'm not using the latest version of the installer yet, I will upgrade mine once i'm done with this set.

EDIT:

... you've done it using texture maps rather than trying to model the detail...

errr, I did what?

[TPM INC]

errr, I did what?

It means you've done what most people don't ever do. A lot of people have a line separating two adjacent faces with textures on both sides. You see if a lot of people where to make a model like this they would make a line between the adjacent faces and put textures on both sides. You combined the textures into one face.

EDIT: If you made a line there you would have added about 4-6 lines and 4-8 faces.

[Vodhin]

errr, I did what?

It is a compliment: too often people model the detail by making extra faces instead of using detailed textures- using many more polygons than needed. I agree :D more folks need to realise that you can get detail with a good Texture, especially when it is Mapped correctly to the model (hence the term "texture map")

oh, I thought I was just being lazy, lol :haha:

=samous
-BTW: where can I get a door texture of a destroyed or rubble door? goggled it, nothing useful.

[TheChicosAStar]

Maybe something like this? I will keep looking though

[samous]

thank you for trying, but i mean something thats more like, in pieces, something un-operational.

=samous

do you think I should add this?:

http://xxlimg.com/images/rn1gadff7824c0ccfv.png

it's supposed to be a blocker, like here:

***sry, this can be considered a scary immage, i didn't see it turn into a zombie thing.

[TheChicosAStar]

So as in just pieces of wood or like half a door or what?

Edit:No i mean the texture

[samous]

those are just 2 pieces of wood, that you can place ON a door to make it look closed, or just boarded up for whatever reason.

=samous
-sense no one has found a ruble door, you most likely know why I'm asking here for one.

EDIT: I mean, something thats brocken, like this:

http://www.highhopesgardens.com/Blogphotos/door.jpg

but more destroyed, even a door with bullet holes would be nice. Can't find a ****in' thing!

EDIT*2: I'm putting this on hold for a few days to play renegade (see first link in sig). I will continue this b4 next week end, sry.

EDIT*3: one last thing...

do you think I should add this?:

http://xxlimg.com/images/rn1gadff7824c0ccfv.png

well?

[TheChicosAStar]

If you could find a couple diiferent damge types (holes, craks, ect..) i could photoshop them on to one door

[rideslover]

I love this doors. good job

thanks for the tip, i'll use it. PLEASE NOTE: I will resume this soon, but i am busy, so not today, and maby not next day.

=samous

-That isn't an inappropriate image. :confused:

still, it isn't what you expect from a normal blocked up door


EDIT: I can get some bullet holes and damaged effects from renegade, thanks for the offer.

[TPM INC]

You cold also make the crosses on the same surface to safe polys, but I'm sure you already know that.

[VietNameseRCT3]

I cannot download it :(:(:(:(

[- Nesiroo -]

The set hasn't even been released yet...please read before you post. :bored:

[sr3d]

I cannot download it :(:(:(:(
It's not even been released.


Looks nice so far, for the blocker try a slightly offset plain and make it from an alpha texture :)

[samous]

The set hasn't even been released yet...please read before you post. :bored:

actually, I released a Beta vs, of just 7 doors. 2 open, 5 closed. If I do the door blocker thing, I'm going to start from scratch, so i'll do that last. Don't have much time, not untill week end. I have been editing some more models, but nothing worth posting here yet. I will release a 2nd beta, then, if I don't add anything else, and no errors occur, I will release it completely. Do you think this set was a good idea?

=samous

[Viscosity086]

Looks like a good set to me, something not many people think to do, but yet usefull.

[samous]

Thanks for the replies, but I got tied up with my Command and Conquer modding, and I will have to finish this l8r. I did release a beta, so you can download some of my working doors...

-sry

=If your really desperate, I can give you all the textures and ASE files and you can convert them your self, but other than that, this is probly as far as it will go. I apologize again.
