I am trying to re-create Fight Night 2004.

Looking for Level Designers And More Postitions Avalible.

[biXen]

Is this something you'll actually finish? So far you have a flag and a bloody skin http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Joonas]

Well, let's wait and see...

[Ghast]

Getting the boxing element working satisfactory and I am sure you will get mappers! Quality attracts quality?

[Akari]

Well I got the fighting code about done (in 3 hours http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Man I'm faster than ever on coding :P ) and am making some new models. The PFX will be the easiest

[MrUniq]

Well just keep it under wraps until release to avoid criticism. U had alot of other projects that didn't come thru bud, so u know what some are going to think.

[Akari]

uH? The Akari mod isnt dead and thats thats the only project I haven't finished yet in all my dozens of mods. Belive me I know what I'm doing

[Ghast]

new models with new moves?

Can the gun inventory be used somehow to select type of offensive punches/defensive blocks available or will it be based on fatigue factoring?

[Joonas]

What kind of particle effects have you planned to include?

[Akari]

Spit, Blood (which I'ved finsihed but cant seem to get it to work) laser lights (may just use boxes though with traparent maps), birds (Same thing here too maybe) and maybe a few more I just cant think of right now. The spit is a must though

[kylemf88]

Seems like noone has said so i will... This idea kicks ass!

[Akari]

Oh yeah and Pyro Technics, gafetti or whatever that paper stuff is ect ect.

[Higginson]

I had this idea a little while ago, but you beat me to it!

Refresh me on what Pyro Technics mean?

[GlowWormGnome]

explosions, qued fire blasts, stuff along those lines, mainly in movies and shows.

[Aztec]

Those arms need sorting out big time

[biXen]

You might love women with men bodies, but I think it's disgusting

[Akari]

Cant fix that Aztec. It's the way MS3D renders the shadows. Wont be ingame though.

A few more shots

I am making more skins right now

If anyone can comeup with a Logo that would be cool

Sorry mate but they aren't shadows. Vertex assignments around the upper arms/shoulders need sorting out. See attachment http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[MrUniq]

looks like the verts on the torso need to be shared with the upperarm bones.

Ok,...by the way how does the skd import work??? Mine says the number of bones are different or whatever in milkshape.

i just found it funny

[Akari]

Everyone I showed here in my city said "WTF is wrong with that". So maybe it's a country thing. Google a grl and you'll see what I mean. Thats not a mans body

[Ghast]

Shoulder width to hip ratio of a man and women has been around a long time.

There are fashion models whose hips are almost as slender as their shoulders, but these arms look more like they are out of their sockets than attached to broad shoulders (ugh, no pun intended)

Perhaps a Monty Python/Terry Gillian animation look was what you intended?

[Joonas]

Can I ask:
"When can we get ingame screenshots?"

[Akari]

As soon as I add them to the level. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'll try to do that tonight

[biXen]

The lack of anti-alias ain't helping those edges either http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

speaking of little graphical glitches max payne 2 also snt perfect i dont like the collision whit the jacket what i think is especialy ugly is this one*( see atachment)
but overaal its a damm good looking game but i think max payne1 hasnt this kind off graphical thing it was just perfect

You didn't look very hard.

[apz600]

um, you know in real boxing matches there aren't chicks with signs. Just a bell. Also how will managers and coaches work (since they always come in and give pointers) or will you just exclude them?
**Idea, Maybe a spit bucket?

Also we need to see some screens of a bruised body and not just a face.

Real fighters? or just mp2 characters?

anyway, nice job i think its cool

[Akari]

? I haven't shown everything yet dude. The bodies wont have marks since in alot of games you dont see it cause its not important. And yes there are women with cards. It's been around for decades with starts like Ali ect.

Edit: Also its the Best example of the Worst proportionity.

[Ghast]

Why am I interested in this TC?

Not as a boxing game where you punch out Mr T or the president but as a Raging Bull/Rocky type but behind the scenes boxing themed game.

IMHO, the actual matches with crowds going nuts will need to be cinematics, but a boxer brawling his way through locker rooms, alleys and bars would be a sweet change from shooting midgets or retard kung fu *G*

Good luck with this!

Yep, proportions are totally off, even more badly done than texturing. I was wondering why Akari was looking for mappers, but now I know http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

But I guess Akari's main goal is in the fighting system itself, not in the levels.

[Akari]

The level isn't done dudes. In fact its just a test level and I'll just scrap this one and make a new on. I am not bad at mapping, I just want a mapper so I can focus on the system which is important than a nice level.

[ADM]

Why did you release the screen if it's unfinished and you will eventually scrap what you're showing us anyway?

I really don't understand that and alot of people do it. Start releasing pics when the mod is around 80% complete.

[Akari]

Cause Jo wanted to see a ingame screen.

[Akari]

Wow from the time I spent to in the bathroom (12 secs) I just came up of a sure proof plan to make the mod to have HP and Stamina and of course like in FN2K4 when any of them go down you pass out...OMG JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING ELSE!

Fact is, anyone with respect for themself couldn't even release that screenshot if they knew better.

uhm..

but I wouldn't say the most importing thing here is levels or models. Its replacing the animations. That'd be the central part. Make animations and at the apex of each punch animation u can use a small explosion radius for damage. the levels would be pretty basic wouldn't they. But hey, have fun making the mod okay...I know that you know your way around 3dmax so I hope u make some nice boxing anims.

IMO.. i don't have any reservations if u ever released a mod or not, Akari helped me alot in the past and has been real informative http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Laser Set 1



Looks good, but... for the God's sakes drop the amount of particles in that effect! You can make it look just as good with... let's say... half of that current amount. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Typical explosions use 100-250 particles; running that on loop can and will slow down just about anyone's game.


Laser Set 4



Same applies to this. Plus that that doesn't really look like laser... At least halve the bitmaps, decrease the particles' lifetime and stretch them more.


Blood 2



I think it could be a bit more opaque and live for a little longer.


Entrance Smoke 3



Smoke comes slowly and there is no such smoke that wouldn't linger in the air. And that ungodly amount of particles again! AAAARGH! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
Emission to less frequent and longer lifetime...

(Or don't show us pre-pre-pre-alpha effects.)


Pyro Sparks 2



The flame? It looks a bit edgy, otherwise it's pretty nice.

By the way, did you adjust the size of the preview window at all when you captured that video? Because if I try to Fraps it, the video goes all distorted. Perhaps "wrong" dimensions...

[Akari]

The lasers will be used for some other things as well. I will have of coruse classic laser lights of green ect going left to right ect ect.

The amount per efffect I thought would be ok cause I once awhile back ago found out that MP2 is great on running on crap PC's even with a explosion with 500 particals on it. So I figured that now days anyone has a at least decent PC that can handle so gfx. Maybe not.

The sparks I plan on getting better. I made this image 30 min ago...

Thanks for the comments.

[Joonas]

Yeah, but I saw in the video that the FPS dropped horribly. If you combine that with the game, it can't be that good. Particle effects are only eye candy, but you don't just make them look good, optimizations are the most important thing, you got to make sure it runs on every player's computer.

For example, remember the Troat of Doom from Polar payne? I'm sure that overcool explosion could have been optimized better.

And I'm positive that flare picture is not made with ParticleFX, right?

[Akari]

That was something else. In the program it is great.

"Troat of Doom from Polar payne"

No never had a problem with it. I know my PC can handle it since the machine I made them on is 3x better than Alienwares top of the line. Mainly cause I use it for work ect ect. Than again not everyone has that but still like I said MP2 is VERY good on FPS even with low specs

No that image is like I said the image for the updated one. But I know how to make PFX look like the images do to some tricks I learned instead of sorta looking like them but you can't see the detail do to too many layers of the effect.

By the way Jo I made a dove effect (when doves fly away) but I want them to goto left to right. How do you do that?

Make them emit from from a rectangular thin box which you place on the left. Then just use the Direction Graph...

If you mean the question, it's just logics.

If you mean my advice with the emitter placement, go back to www.maxpayne.com/tutorials. (http://www.maxpayne.com/tutorials.) http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[cursed]

The thing about optimisation in Max Payne 2 is the reason that it's so good is a combination of the engine and the mapping. Sure, you can play through all of the official Max Payne 2 missions w/o any slowdown and details bumped way up, but that is really due to a combination of a good engine and bloody good mapping.

You'll notice, if you play some of the other mods that are floating around, that you can easily get slowdown in certain circumstances. Large open spaces (Plaza Raid), many AI controlled characters around at a time (Plaza Raid, Free to Kill, Final Fight) and poor exit optimisation (Free to Kill, several others) can all give you FPS problems.

Of course, the other thing to consider is the fact that not everyone has systems as powerful as yours, and if you plan on releasing your mod to the public, you'll want to find a balance between quality and performance in terms of visuals, or be prepared for people to be very disappointed (Hellsing mod).

[Akari]

I know about that dude. I've been modding for a long time. It's just better when things are better detailed. People dont mind when they get low fps in retail games like DOOM 3 (which in MOI dindt have great graphics like they say). And I know people are going to say "Well it's because its retail not free http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif " but when ar mods going to start looking good. Not all cheap looking. I dont know just MOI I have been thinking about for years http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[cursed]

fair 'nuff, I can see where you're coming from but, for me, given that gameplay is spot on, I'd rather have things run smoothly than have crazy effects and other purely graphical things going on... I guess that's mostly 'cos I haven't got a super new crazy top of the line computer.

[Akari]

Hey dont get me wrong. Gameplay is everything. GFX are good to but sucky games that have good gfx but horrible gameplay *cough Farcry cough* do well.

Focus your self in learning stuff, and join a team where you can show your skills! Or, if you realy want to start a new project, (I'd say 90% of the new projects fails) make some good looking and worth showing WIPs to show the community, and get some good critics of your work!

So you don't know the name of the "company", what the game is called or even the publisher who's signed you guys on.

If I was working for a commercial game;

Number 1: I would want to get paid.. in which case you should of signed a contract/release form which would of detailed at least one of the above.

Number 2: I would want to know as much information about the product before I even started workin on it.

If you never signed a contract/release form then you are screwed, if you don't care about getting paid then no problems but that's stupid especially as you said it might get "international release".

Companies usually don't make you sign an NDA to stop him from saying the company or publisher's name.

Also if Akari did sign an NDA he would of said that in the first place.

Anyway I'm sure everyone has gathered not to believe anything Akari says.

Jesus. Lighten up, people... Browse these, first...

gamedev.net

These all have forums whereby freelance modellers can get their names out there, and get some work, free or expensive.

Now leave Akari alone! Jebus. This Akari-bashing has become a trend that needs to stop. Even if he does make stories up, you don't need to put any stock in it; just don't insult him because you don't believe 'em. I believe I've said my piece.

These all have forums whereby freelance modellers can get their names out there, and get some work, free or expensive.

Now leave Akari alone! Jebus. This Akari-bashing has become a trend that needs to stop. Even if he does make stories up, you don't need to put any stock in it; just don't insult him because you don't believe 'em. I believe I've said my piece.

ya, as Joonas said, u were not here back in the days of Max Payne (1).

My poem here sums up his exploits:

Along time ago, in a forum not far from here, in fact it was called Max Payne Modding, a little dude named Akari began to appear.

He started to post and the flaming agrew
As he posted news to mods a few

Mods he ah-started
The communitiy got quite fainthearted

He said he had done it
His mods would be the center hit

However,

They all were quite lacking
And he got sent packing

Grand promises he did make
But it was all a mistake

As he posted no screenshots
And we despised him lots

Now his name has gone down in history
It is now not a mystery

Thanks to this amazing tale
That will hopefully prevail


That is the story of Akari, it is a summary of his dubious legacy, I hope it clears some things up plus its an awsome poem

Thank very much folks, you have been a great audience.

I know Akari has caught alot of flack for being a no-show modwise, but I do recognize the contribution made with helping new modders.

Actually he posted a video of a move once, and it sucked horribly http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

But he does help around as it was mentioned, and he's quite the character, so I just chuckle at him instead of getting annoyed by him http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
