smoke stack

back again

some one who i will not mentioned stated that i wasnt doing anything or could not see any evidence of me wanting to learn how to mod.

i make model
i paint model
now to port it into a very old game system and engne thats kinda buggy
fixing computer to handle bugs...and make sure that all mods run fine,, and dont cash,, spend a month reading crap

mr handy refueling station,, and new mr handy model (many possible bits and things(very limited in creation kit)
 
and for license reasons,, im porting fallout 4 models into the game not other peoples,, mashing them,, editing them,, and chopping them,, all 100% fallout 4,,,
 
i have noticed people have been recycling game graphics and animations fro other games,,
great,, and not so cool.....


funny coz,
who working on drivables ,, same issue ,,, system cant handle gta style drive, dif game engine
road warrior stuff.


blah blah blah,
smoke stack, robot,,

Were these last 3 questions of some kind? I'm not sure I see anything folks are supposed to respond to as part of a conversation
 
nope not questions,
been away for a while and updating some findings,,, keeping all my crap in one thread.

been looking at the game engine of fallout,,, im a fan of fallout, not a fan of batesta
20 years ago i was taking the sims apart,, and they still use the same graphic styles and files,, batesta is doing the same over all their games , to keep clients, fans, players and make sure it has a thriving mod community (good and bad)...steam block many aspects of it.(and other companies)

anyways,,, the graphics are the same,, as stuff i was doing 20 years ago,,,,, yes,,,, 20 years ago,,,, thats fingers and toes.
so,, old tools,old sets,, old everything.
except for you need 3d rendering programs that are very expensive,, so people are needing work arounds,, and many of them.
a really messy vicious cycle.
files all over the place,, havig to tweek this and that,,, then added a game that crashes at anything.

blah blah blah blah
no not question,,, just havent been here in a while ,, and determined to crack the problem

made a while ago,
i dont remember where i got the model from,, as it was hard trying to break open the archive and figure out what to do,,, so i downloaded something,,
added a banana,,, not my banana,,, so now have to edit and change most.(otherwise have to give credit)
done.
added a few extra things too...

started scrapping some of the other elements from the game,, to add to back ground and machines ,,, that interact with the robots and other...
my models should not have an issue,, its smart coded,,,the game will have issues,, not the models,,,(program code is over 20 years old)
so my models will and can do more then what the game permits.(its advanced, new,)
unlike other models that have been salvaged from other games and ported over missing simple code or elements ,, due to time and game ability .
ITS NEW CONTENT, not recycled.

that i have blender, that i can open blender, that i can get a model into blender, that i can navigate blender, that i can add an item into blender, and delete meshes that conflict,
= 50 hours of tutorial in blender .

this is some work my kids have been doing,
in another program, with new file formats that is very fast and easy to use and free.
a bathroom, with a toilet in the bathtub, and a sink in the bathtub,, later it had bay windows and a service hatch leading to the bathroom, and a glass window on the other wall so you can watch out for your neighbors or a death-claw,
and a escape hatch in the top incase the smell gets bad.
also has garage door for a front door in case you need the bathroom really bad and dont have time to park a tank.
you get the picture...a really bad crack meth lab bathroom..like really bad :)
kids had lots of fun making that ..

i can port the whole game into other programs,, but not other programs into the game,, ddl is from the arc.

smoke stack...killer

great news is,, i have a reply and a phone call from the company,, they are going to help with tools and physics of clouds smog, smog, fog, pollution, waste, air flow..
as their program is a simulator,, not an actual plugin part

posting before the next great "purge" of the waste land ...

slugging away,, wont hear from me for a month,,,,but working(turn around time six months )

good news and bad news,
got info from engineering company,, the stuff they run will kill most peoples computer (not game ready)
but they have linked me onto some other "free" programs,, to run with game engines.(very helpfull,,, and understood the problems)

now the buildings and factories.

problem is my time is very divided at the moment , and cant focus on a project for more then an hour (same time it opens, loads, installs,, run test,, and poof,,have to clear off again)

day idunno
time i forgot
lost


..
spending too much time with another program, several programs actually,
developing my own creature ,
 
Tick tick tick

My expensive vault teck wristband does not seem to work.
Dont know date, nor what day it is.


Graphics team upset, they delayed , so I k ow another due who is maya,
Reluctant to recruit .

And im at a stage where I have to talk to previous developers ...

At the looks...this might be launched after fallout five.

Im slugging along....doing my own thing.

I harvent played the game in five months .

Im a fan of the game....the original game..not its new.."owner"
 
truth
haven't had the game installed for a while.

made a village ,, woop di doo da..
sitting on my porch ,, looking at the crimson horizon,, wondering what the clouds say to me,, as i wander into a dream,, what does adam say ...
am i loosing my way ?

the community i have made is good,,, but i know the system wont handle it, batesta knows it cant handle it,,, out dated,, old,, and rusty platform....
it was announced that a very old game server will be shut down ..due to incompatibilities with new software,, allowing loops holes for third parties, and other bugs when you add too much gear,,,blah blah blah,, if you have been playing a game for over twenty years ,,,,it will.

my crew is good,, we working on a system called godot engine,, not a unity,,, its fully free.
working to get blender taught to people,, even found a cool online course for 200 dollars to learn and get maya,,,,,,thats cheap,,, but they clock you ...not full license .

been working,, been searching,,, been building,, puttering around,,, even drew and made a hover bike,,,,pity the system wont run it or handle it.

decided to scale my project down,,,, got all excited when i saw a advert for fallout 5 Miami..but was a fake,, a mod...
scale down,, use what works ,, and stop with what does not.

suns going down, and i sit, and wait...
 
hmmm,
sitting in my camp of odd fellows,
we all mad
at a glance of an eye we know whats going on,

couple games been released ,
new fallout mass multiplayer thing,,(release notes of course)
cyberpunk new intro (release notes of course, made by same guys as witcher,, and coz they got the contract,, rockstar games kinda peed off,,,
new oblivion (release notes of course )

3 major companies,, head to head with one another,,, almost like xbox vs playstation, samsung apple

yay
and batesta needs giniepigs(spelt correctly) for the test game mass multiplayer thing 76, ,,,

funny thing is?
i know that batesta using fallout to test pilot for the new skyrum

ps.
here is a awesome movie

"taps screen "

hello ?
bean busy with work.
repairing old, it takes twice as much time.

picking up sticks
clean computer
racing pako 2
designing my rocket bike

from what i gather and see,and hear,, rumor has it,
destruction physics,
and bethesda has old car game with fallout knock off game called "rage"

blah blah
a game within a game within a game, geewizz my pitboy acting strange .
 
new day, new approach , same problems.

time of year were i will be away for two months and will have to dump all my fallout work(i should post screen shot spoilers)
working on some animations (very basic and very amateur) animations for mr nasty,
thinking about doing a story scene where he grabs some one and pounds their head against a table while in dialog,,, its kinda a cut scene .

but,,,, if i dump it all,, it will take me forever to pick it all up and figure out what i was doing or testing.
smoke being a pain, and a few models not actually posting through properly .
downloaded the game 3 times and deleted all the mods,, not even running settlements.

will have to talk to kinggarth when he has time about a CRIMINAL tree,
adding that your character can become a criminal,, as game mechanics wont permit it .

blah b;ah bah,, will post screen shots.
and hava ta drop work for aprox two months.
 
speaking of smoke ... when I was living in China, during the winter, a lot of the Chinese were burning coal in their homes, etc...

What would be a great standalone mod, would be a black grill, with a fire and smoke.... and then imagine every home having one... or along the street in the market when a vendor squats roasting a steak, bug, or whatever... this could be very realistic.

I think also back to old movies of England and the street vendors and butchers...
