Ice Maul...

[Thothie]

Filefront being a bitch as usual.

Actually, if you can get me the source with the original BMP's and SMD's, that helps too, as my decompiler has a habit of offsetting UV maps by a pixel or two.

Our MSC hands viewmodel is notoriously hard to work with. Kinda beginning to wonder if it's possible to simplify that beast, and still have it look right (with proper sleaving and all).

edit: Finally got it.
... wrong sleaves.

Here's the sources:

Note: The two ice textures need to be made additive for the clear effect; I did this with HLMV: ergo, they're not this way in the original .smds.

 

[Thothie]

The entry for additive in the QC is:

$texrendermode "TEXTURENAME.bmp" "additive"

I dunno what it is for chrome.

Still wrong hands though.

 

[Sabre]

Aww...I used the rhand.mdl from the maul...Perhaps you could point me in the right direction?

 

[Thothie]

Meh, I dun think we actually have a proper view model for two handed blunts at the moment. Closest match is the msc/weapons/swords/longsword_rview.mdl (I think that's the only two-handed view model with proper sleaving) but I'm not even sure if that'll work right with it. Really need that alternate sleaved view model.

 

[Sabre]

Hrm...In that case, does it look like I'm waiting on the sleaved model? Or is it all on your hands? (No pun intended)

 

[Thothie]

Meh, I canna model, so it's out of my hands, sortaspeak. If ya can stick it in the longsword_rview.mdl and see what it looks like that might be good. If it looks like da crap though, we might just have to wait until someone gets us new base rview models.

tbh, i would go out of my way to not acquire that weapon.
i hate it.
i keed! <3

I can't hold myself back...

That ice maul is ugly... 100% ugly. The handle looks like it should be the blade part on an ice spear, and the hammer part looks like a grocery bag... transparent style...

Perhaps if the handle was kinda like the hammer, and there were darkened crack-like effects running along it (showing it is old, a weapon of age; also so people could see it properly...) I'd give applause

 

[kray1091]

Not to bad, something new though.

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

"my idea for an ice maul type weapon..."

A FRIGGIN HUGE ASS ICICLE!!!

or something looking like the frozen weapon stuff from either Warcraft3 or WoW...

But I would love to club some enemies with a huge icicle!

 

[Sabre]

Ice Lance ftw!!!1

 

[evilsquirrel]

so...does this use the new hands yet? or anythin...?

 

[Sabre]

I wish...As far as I know we're still waiting on the sleaved ones...But I've been gone for three days, so I dunno...

 

[Netrogor]

Sabre, so long as your handles don't look like needles I will like your models

Ahh... harsh critics... you gotta luv'em.

 

[FER]

dont make it transparent (get an ice texture) and it will look alot better

 

[Sabre]

Necropost...Did we ever get them sleaved arms?
