Idea for the mod name Blade/Punisher Blood and Bullets

[krusty]

also big fan of both need help with fleshing out story e mail me

[Uisor]

Do you have any character models?

I'd name it Daywalker if it was my decision.....


just a suggestion.

[Sayantan]

@ Akari, Supafly & Aztec :

Thanx for the kind support of you guys. Cd have been happier if you guys had contributed in the mod. No offense though.

@ Joonas :

Ya I was really thinking of sending you a PM before I gave my last post. You snatched the word of my mouth.
Will you be in this team as a ParticleFX-er ?

@ Anti Matter, Krusty & Ghast :

The name "Unrelentless" is very good but a bit off-topic and still a bit uncatchy."Blade/Punisher Blood and Bullets" seems very long too. Can we have it named only "Blood and Bullets" ? . " Daywalker" is okay but not like Blood & Bullets.Lastly majority wins. So what all you other guys think?

@ Uisor :

Still not a single character coz we arent using characters from the old mod. But we are workin on it.

Anyway its time for me to post all of the level list:-

Thats it and Thats it with Blade.I hope Venom Fang is gonna punch some real good Punisher stuff inside it. Good luck Venom Fang.Later on all of us are gonna write the script a bit descriptively

[Sayantan]

Anyway which punisher do you guys want to be modelled? "A" or "B" ?

[Sheikah]

Name Suggestions -
"The Blade/Punisher Complex"

or maybe...

"Bloodhunt"!? Just a few suggestion, I like the idea of the mod so far!!

[Ratm]

a looks like he has a bald spot so i say b.

[Aztec]

Sayantan, I'll lend a hand if needed. I've got both blade movies to act as reference material, so if I can contribute with any models and such let me know.BTW I prefer punisher A to be honest

[Jay007]

why redo noodlez, it already looks as good as any of the reference files out there. There is a Blade 2 whose guns have changed, modeling that would be impressive IMHO

Ah finally, its not perfect, still need to add aiming sights, extrude the barrel out the front and apply the skin a little better but its basically done WOOHOO!!

[Joonas]

Sure, I hope I can find some time... :P

Anyway, what kind of particles would you need?

Punisher "A" has always been my favorite style, since I always liked the dramatized features of comic book characters, but the second one looks like it might fit a little better if you're aiming for "realism" on some level.

[Sayantan]

A bit of update for the Hospital.
Many more minor details are left like the main OT lights, many small OT equipments like saline bottles, blood bottles, many tubes, etc are still missing. Also lastly another lighting correction(actually perfection) is necessary.

[Sayantan]

@ Black Lillith :

"The Blade/Punisher Complex" is a bit complicated indeed (no offense) but hey I do like the name "BloodHunt". Its real cool man.

@ The System, Aztec & Cronos :

"A" is a comic version whereas "B" is a realistic version. There's also another version of Punisher(comic type) which looks ugly-er(more dangerous) and has a thick nose which adds excelently to its features. I was thinking about making a combination of "A" & "B". The face wd be a comic-ed version of "B" whereas the body would be( has to be) like "A". But also the textures wd be neither too realistic nor too comic type. I think you guys understood what I'm trying to say. The bottom line is the modeling of the face wd be like "B" and so wd be the textures.It cd be a bit comic-ed also. And the body will be like of "A" with realistic textures.

@ Aztec :

I will indeed need your help Aztec coz there are lots of models to be made. And its gonna be a big lesson for us guys coz all the models wd be quite different. I have a class mate(my graphics class mate) who's also gonna make many of the charcter models. We might share our work so it comes down easily.Thanks for your contribution.

@ Jay :

Hey gr8 work buddy. Though you still need a bit of "detailing". Keep up the good work man.

@ Joonas :

Actually I can tell you right now but let there be a proper script for us to work upon. I'll also make a document for only the first version(as I said all the levels wd be divided among versions). Please bear a bit with us and thanx a lot for giving us guys a hand.

@ For others :

This mod is going to be a mod "By The MP2 Community" & "For The MP2 Community". Ofcourse that doesn't mean you won't get credit to the amount you contributed to the mod. I'm gonna make a detailed credit list as of who did exactly what for the mod so everybody gets what he/she deserves .

[Ghast]

I like that hospital bed!

The flat items painted on the cabinets? That's how parts of the hospital looked on my PC, but I thought it was my graphic card and there was really glass in front?

Anyhoo, I would set them back a bit and added shootable glass, not breakable?

SOF2 had flat oranges in crates, really broke the immersion!

[Sayantan]

Actually I didn't go out to detail the cupboard coz since it wd have the cutscene only, and there wd be motion blurs also.Maybe I'll give that thing to you as a prefab and you might modify it as a fully functionable cupboard as it wd also be needed coz there's another hospital level where Blade wd be fighting.

[Ghast]

I'll add it to my list! *G*

[Jay007]

Well i started from scratch and re-did the gun and added a lot more detail, I also found the proper skin for it on the web, however neither pictures of the gun are completely side on so i couldnt get the skins to wrap neatly around the gun there will be someone out there who is really good at it, anyway take a looksy

[Higginson]

hey, i have a bit of modding exprience (modelling, animating) and i would like to be part of this. Sayantan, i used to speak to you a while ago on msn, but havent spoken to you for a while. (add me at [email protected], just incase u have me added on my old address)

[Jay007]

Oh yeah and my guns only 727 polys too so it could work very nicley in the mod if you guys wanna use it?

[Sayantan]

@ Jay :

Great going buddy. You are really improving before our own f***in eyes.......LOL.

@ For others :

The team is becoming really big and since most of you are a bit new so its been difficult for me to remember the names and what they are intending to contribute in this mod.Lets do one thing which wd be quite easy I guess. Below, I'm writing the names uptill now I remember and you just :-

[Sheikah]

I don't really know if I could be much assistance, but I'd like to help out on this.. maybe I could assist you in the story making, I love hat stuff, plus I know a lot about vampires and weapons as well..

just an option, in case you need some more people....

edit: I could help out with some music and sfx as well..

[Joonas]

I leave right now if you don't tell me what kinf od particle do you require.

Sayantan can I be in? I have no experience what so ever

Can I stand for the music or something...

[Sayantan]

@ Joonas :

About the particle FX u wd have to do :-

1> A more bloody "blood" particle.(I want this really dirty).
2> After killing the vampires, they burn out into fumes. U wd have to do that particle.
3> The blood sprinklers( as shown in the first Discotheque in Blade 1).

@ Black Lillith & Faaawn :

Okay I dont think I need anymore story-teller coz then the feel wd be a bit of a mixture and thats what I dont want. Thats even the reason I dont push some of my stupid ideas in Fang's stories.Please dont mind for it.
Anyway both of you cd be responsible for the music and sound FX. Ur job??......... thinking and collecting some of the coolest music and sound effects wd be your job. Can u guys do voice acting? Then I might use you guys for some of the vampire voice .
Mail me at "[email protected]".

Thats it for now.

Anyway I had an excelent chat with Ghast, Aztec & Venom Fang today morning together. We discussed about the to do's and not to do's about the idea of the mod. It seemed like its quite hard to push in Punisher inside Blade stories from the Original Motion Picture. So we are not using the typical movie stories. I mean we are making a new story of our own. But the mod idea thought lastly was awesome and I can assure that there are very rare mod ideas like that in the scene.
Fang also told me that he's makin the concepts for a new Punisher or maybe somethin else. So keep ur eyes open as someday u might see a nice concpt art of the characters. We still have to Brainstorm a little bit for the levels and all. There's a chance I might have to dump the Hospital but I wdn't try to push my hospital in to spoil the feel of the mod. Lets see what comes up.

[Ghast]

Of course in any collaborative there will always be disagreement, so write your story, if it makes for interesting and unique levels/gameplay that is suited to the MP2 engine, you'll get offers *G*

One particle effect, a bullet that leaves a fire trail sounded fresh to me. Fountains of blood MP2 already can do.

I don't think the hospital scene needs to be abandoned. As a collaborative effort I think the game designers (level builders) should have priority, and the story tellers write graphic novels to bridge, otherwise the development cycle will be years, unless there is already a story arc bible somewhere *LOL*

[Sheikah]

that'd be pretty damn awesome, I highly doubt that I'm your man for voiceacting.. but hey, with a mic. (yes, my first priority) and some "practicing", I should be able to pull it off hehe.. aboutthe music, I'd be more than happy to I'll add you to my msn right away!

[Joonas]

Okay, I start immediately.

Do you have MSN Messenger?

EDIT: The sprinkler is just about done now.

EDIT2: I PMmed you the blood sprinkler effect. Comment it and give me suggestions now.

EDIT3: Too many emoticons.

[Sayantan]

@ Joonas :

Hey man u r fast man. I like fast people and emoticons too.
I'll see that particle tonight and send you the comment tomorrow.

I do have MSN . Thats "[email protected]" .

[Joonas]

I'm updating the effect while I'm writing this...

[Sayantan]

@ Joonas :

Hmmmm.....Comments............:-

1> If the degree by which it's spreading is 100%, can you bring it down to something like 85% ?
2> Can you make each of the particle thiner?
3> Lastly(optional), Can you make the color a bit Blackish?

[Joonas]

Yes.

[Higginson]

hey sayantan, did you get my email with the animation vid attached?

[Sayantan]

Yes I did. Actually the problem is that I forget too much. Anyway the animation u sent me was quite good except that it lacked a bit of weigh. But u will surely improve within a very short period of time. I already told you that you are in. Observe the Kung Fu 3 animations in Milkshape. Those are some of the best known manually-done kung-fu animations I had yet seen in any modifications.

Lastly
