I beg of you, please, please do not distribute through fileplanet! They are probably the worst distribution method I've ever seen! :eek: Because of the size of the demo, you might want to consider offering a BitTorrent tracker (in addition to regula...  [Read More]

Hmm... So you couldn't use two animMaps and use a blend function to link them in a shader to get the right glows? /me goes to look in JO/JA for an animated glowing shader... :D...  [Read More]

In RichDiesel's famous tutorials he says that door switches (the kind that everybody does a brush swap out for to change from 'off' to 'on' and back) can be done easier with a script, but I haven't been able to find an example--even in the JO/JA stuf...  [Read More]

Yes, the project is still alive, I've just been a little busy with other projects at the moment... If the project ever were to go away (not while I have anything to say about it ;)) there would be a big announcement on the unofficial mod page. Scyth...  [Read More]

Yeah, I got it. I was expecting a reply via email--that's why I didn't see it. BTW, I replied via PM, but I really would prefer email. :)...  [Read More]

Well, if Mr. Katarn has given up, then those of us who are still interested in seeing this through will pick up the pieces and move forward. ;) With that said, the unofficial DF2 mod team is still looking for texture artists, modelers, and mappers....  [Read More]

Sounds good, but before I accept I'd like to see some of your new textures. :) I PM'd you with my email address, but if it didn't go through let me know and I'll PM you again. EDIT: I sent you an email to the address you have listed below yesterday....  [Read More]

OK, this might be a totally insane thing to do, but I've put up the Unofficial DF2 Mod Homepage (http://shamusworld.gotdns.org/df2mod) up on my server. It's not much to look at ATM, but that will change in time ;) (to those of you with webmaster aspi...  [Read More]

No, I wrote my own tool (called, oddly enough, jkl2map) which does a much better job than what droid wrote (I didn't even know that droid had written a tool to do that until a week ago). I've said this before but I guess it bears repeating: It's not...  [Read More]

Well, after converting the maps there would be the usual round of fun stuff like texture recreation (which to me seems like the bulk of the work), model tweaking, lighting, etc. It will of course be possible to tweak the levels to make them more arch...  [Read More]

It occurred to me that some of you may have your doubts about my claims, so I thought I'd share a few screenshots. Do any of these look familiar? ;) http://icculus.org/~shamus/screens/shot0000.jpg http://icculus.org/~shamus/screens/shot0001.jpg http...  [Read More]

The thought of doing a DF2 total conversion has crossed my mind more than once... As a matter of fact, I've done some work towards that goal, since it seemed that nobody else had had the same bright idea that I had. ;) Here's what's been done: Conve...  [Read More]
