Test Level

A small test level I have been playing around with using Intense X.

Nice!
I wonder if you would be so kind to tell us how you got the physics to work with intenseX. Is there a way to get those exploding barells and door script from you?

Cheers,CD_SABER

Looks good. I like how the AI uses the doors, how did you do that?

He said he is using the Intense X AI -> opening doors is a 'feature' of I.-X

Indeed? I didn't know that.

I guess physics too ain't I right?

The physics and NPCs opening doors are not features of Intense X. The physics and exploding barrels are a combination of slacer's post on the Intense X forums, part of one of the AUMs and me just playing around and tweaking things. The doors are part of one of the AUMs, modified to use c_scan and me just playing around and tweaking things until they work how I want them to.

OMG them doors are soo annoying

They need some 3-IN-ONE oil.

Looking good!)

Thank you, penut!

This is an update to my Gamestudio with Intense X Test Level video. I have added lighting, dynamic light, particles, weather, NVIDIA PhysX and a lot of other things.

well there are some decent systems running here but the flaws really need some work:

- physics entities fall too slow, they look weightless
-after an explosion, i really dont think a barrel can be on fire, before but not after
-you should run a check to see if youre indoor then turn the lightning off

other than that keep it up, am curious about a few things:

-the physics player movement comes with intense-x? or did you code it?
-how'd you achieve the cone-like light above the doors

Agree with DarkInferno. It seems you need more gravity for the level. And the lightning too, You can just set lighting effect as a bright sky when you're in a room(so it still can be seen trough windows). But some barrel still can be on fire I guess if it still has some oil left after the explosion...

@ DarkInferno:
The conical light is actually a static light set in WED but surrounded by some invisible block on top of it. Or at least that I'll do to make my game like that.

Thanks for the crits. As far as the lighting goes, it looks a lot better than what the low quality YouTube video shows. Your right, I still need to tweak the physics. The NVIDIA PhysX is courtesy of Chris3D and his pXent plugin. bart_the_13th is correct about the conical light. And in response to a barrel not being able to be on fire after it explodes, I present the videos below.

ok, makes sense now, just make it burn out after a while and make it a gib

I currently have the barrels set to burn for thirty seconds. The last video in my burning barrel response is my favorite.

i know that song... where did i hear it before?

I don't know. It was in one of the AUMs, the menu one I think.

This is a short video showing a flamethrower weapon I have been working on.

looks good, but shouldnt it be a larger weapon? the tank shold be bigger and on his back. but this is your concept, so ignore my crits.

No, those are all good ideas. It is basically just a prototype right now. (Along with everything else I am currently working on. ) The flamethrower model was a free download on TurboSquid. All of the models I am currently using were free. (Sans the models included with Intense X and Gamestudio.) If it gets to a point where it is more serious, I would replace all centerpiece models (characters, weapons, etc.) with custom ones. Thank you for your reply!

If your ever looking to buy a flamethrower model I'm working on one right now, my site should be back up by the time it's finished.

As far as the effect goes, I'd make some larger particles and some with more defined edges since right now it looks like tiny balls of napalm.

Your flame is a square !

I had the same problem in my actual contest entry, but i got it - look in the code to see it .

@lostclimate: That's a good looking model you've made there! But to be honest, I'm looking for modern weapons. So, I'm not sure it would be a good fit for my game. Maybe you can show some of you other work? I may need a good modeler/animator someday. Thanks for your suggestions on the effect. I'm still in the process of tweaking it.

@Rei_Ayanami: Yeah, you're right. I hadn't really noticed it. Thanks for telling me. I'll sort it out for sure.

This is a short video showing a M79 Grenade Launcher weapon I have been working on. The "Blooper"!!!

[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clMRIPq5NxI[/video]

I've added 1st person weapon models. (pistol, shotgun, 2 submachine guns, assault rifle, light machine gun & grenade launcher)

[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVXs0kpbvJk[/video]

Whoa, Nice model you got there...
The shotgun animation is a lil too fast though...

FPS Creator, weapon pack No.6, right?
Looks good, I like the light machine gun.
The muzzle flashes are a bit too large tough.

These Weapons look incredible awesome
someone did good work there, animations are awesome as well

I slowed down the firing animation for the shotgun, reduced the size of the muzzle flashes (some of the muzzle flashes are missing in this video due to compression), synchronized and tweaked the sounds, tweaked the "switch in" animations...

*Updated* 3DGS & IX Test Level - 1st Person Weapon Models

These models are from the FPS Creator Model Pack 6.

The shotgun firing animation looks perfect now, very good.
The muzzle flashes are better now, too.
Good work.

I've added some new character models. I also gave the NPCs the M79 grenade launcher.

YouTube - 3DGS & IX Test Level - New Character Models

Did you convatet the X format models to mdl format models with milkshape?

MED, fragMOTION and Ultimate Unwrap 3D, whichever works best.

It would just need characters taking cover behind anything like in COD4 or others.

Some simple AI Cover with cover points placed in your own level editor (Use Far Cry 1 editor to see what i mean).

Keep it up !

Yeah, AI cover tactics would be cool. I definitely want to add that. I am currently working on level design, but I am not happy with the results so far, mostly performance issues, and as usual the lighting is a pain in the arse. I think about scrapping the entire thing and starting over, or just continuing and try to find the best creative way to minimize/hide the flaws.
