Sub Models

[Nemix]

ok i came up with this idea...
in esf you have 9 characters... in the open beta more...
and for every model you have a folder in the models folder... (confusing ^^)
why not use submodel for the characters??
and have only 1 folder.... for 1 character
i've seen this at trunks for 1.2
he is 1 model but has 3 submodels
normal / no sword
right hand sword
left hand sword

you could do something like that for Goku
like:
normal
ssj
ssj2
ssj3

but i guess that would need recoding... xD

well tell me what you think about my suggestion

If I recall, submodels need to have the same mesh or number of vertices.

 

[Nemix]

well if you're right ... that sucks.. xD

Folder's name must be equal to model's name. Like goku/goku.mdl and ssjgoku/ssjgoku.mdl.

 

[Nemix]

well yeah... goku/goku.mdl

but in that goku.mdl
there could be 4 models
goku normal > ssj > ssj2 and ssj3
and they are changed only by changing the submodel...
that can be coded i think

 

[KYnetiK]

What does that have to do with anything hlev?

Hes trying to say if submodelling worked the way we wanted it to you only need one folder and one mdl file. Since it doesnt, we need multiple folders. Otherwise the game could switch between submodels of different forms quite seamlessly, unfortunately submodelling doesnt work that way i dont think.

You fail to see a point.

Submodels cant have their own animations. If your idea got in then the animations would be the same for a character in all forms.

And how is it confusing. You wanna switch a model look for the name. Not confusing.

I for one am all for putting models of me in the game. I've always thought I should be a playable character.

 

[Nemix]

Sub ^^ no one was talking about you

 

[KYnetiK]

Everyone on the team should have a playable character ^^

 

[Nemix]

yeah.. LOL ^^ make your own

 

[Dokutayuu]

yeah.. LOL ^^ make your own

I'll make sure I'm the most brokenly good character in the game then ^^. Whilst reading the topic title, I could only think of Sub.

It doesn't sound like the submodelling thing will work in our favour. Frieza would look pretty weird with all his forms having the same animations.
