Rivalry of Legends - 2004 wot wot?

Showster

Hi guys finally decided to come over to the new boards with a little suprise. Like all things decided to move rol with the times and port the mod from quake 3 over to Unreal 2004.

This is mainly so we can get our vehicles into the game alot nicer and without ridiculous coding. So with saying that I'd like to share a few bits and bobs, introducing a Ecto1 and the brand spranking new Delorian. Both are driveable the Delorian is hot of the presses much thanks to the new coder / modeller at rol

Looks cool man!
Big Delorean fan! Made 2 models of it

And uber low poly:

nice lkraan uber low poly rules! Don't suppose you've got time to help texture the RoL Version ? :-o

I don't think those exhaust ports on the delorean were even close to being that steep. I'd recheck your references.

Nice cars there. Look like solid meshes - although I think you could still optimise some detail out of the little bits on the engine at the rear of the DeLorean. Some of those tiny bits would probably look identical if textured, and they'll be moving fast in-game anyway, I reckon.
What's the triangle count on those cars?

ecto is around 2600 and the delorean is about 3900 I think, didn't realise you were a fellow brit MoP :-D

(wasn't there something about a scotsman ripping your throat open if you call him a brit?)

Switching to UT2004 NOW? Wouldn't it be wiser to wait for HL2 to evaluate that first?

The3DGuy

hot fucking damn

KDR_11k HL 2 will surely be the daddy of all, but Unreal 2004 allows easy porting and can be done quickly with the mods current resources.
If we wait then we have to find a capable programmer and update almost everything where at the moment we can update some items which require it and progress with work faster.
Finding a coder is like finding the holy grail I don't really want to waste the opportunity especially when the Unreal engine is still capable of producing great results.

I didn't mean to say anything wrong lol

Time I don't have but I can send you the skin I made for the higher poly 1. Here's it at 50% and I still have the PSD with loads of layers including the wires...

I love you! lkraan Thank you

lkraan

PM me your email and I'll send it to you tonight.

hmm this unreal ed ain't such a bad thing

adam

Just a heads up: The license plate on the Delorian reads "OUTATIME"

CheapAlert

So you're gonna drop all the Q3A assets?

I would probably split the mod into two (RoL q3, RoL ut2k4) for audience's sake, also with q3a going open source by the end of the year (as carmack said) you could possibly make the mod a standalone game :P

Vehicles aren't everything you know but I do understand the significance of that Delorean.

Showster

cheapy if I could find the coding influence I would have stayed with quake 3 all the way its my prefered medium but I just can't find the interest anymore. Plus when you got an eager unreal coder, mapper, modeller guy it sure helps aid the decision ,,,, but rest assure I'll try get quake 3 stuff done if a coder materialises

sundance

just an FYI, you're ECTO-1 is actually ECTO-1A from ghostbusters 2, because the original lacked the satellite dish and didn't have the black and yellow hazard stripes on the sides...
