Bloodlines NPCs

[Barnabas]

For my project, I need a few more NPCs from Bloodlines, than the Bloodlines Megapack contains. Unfortunally I never made any NPCs before. Is there a kind of tutorial, how to create NPCs with Bloodlines Material using Milkshape ( or other programs )?

Dark Lobo is familiar with that process, but he doesn't do tutorials and model converting isn't really my thing.

I will write one and post it on my site. Right now you can't access the site because I have exceeded my monthly traffic allowance. I will be back up on the first of July. Check then and there will be something for you in the V.T.M. vault section.

Thank you

I will release a newer version of BloodlinesMegaPack in couple weeks, my goal is to have each and every single model from Bloodlines converted to Redemption.

I finished the tutorial today. It will be posted on my site in four days when my server lifts my exceed traffic block. If you want it sooner than that you can e-mail me and I will send you an attachment.

I looking forward this impatiently  You really made a great work until now. My maps wouldn´t look good without your Bloodlines Megapack.

@Clown: Thank you for your work. I´ll get the tutorial, when your HP is online again. In the next days, I´ll be too busy to work on my project, so I can wait these few days. Anyway I want to take a look at your page ^^

Oh, btw, Dark Lobo, if you want to work on your Bloodlines Megapack, may I ask you something? If I want to place one of your Bloodlines NPCs in one of my maps, it´s very difficult to place the box, representing the NPC, in the map, soo that the NPC will stay on the floor ingame.



This is the way, I have to place the box, to make the NPC standing on the floor in game. Is there a possibilty to make it easierer? I´d be very thankful for that.

I have NEVER touched Embrace considering i got the game in 2002... im sorry, im mostly a Modeller... i have no idea how to use embrace since i have never been charmed with creating maps, Rain-- err Javokis should know how.

I think i will be finished with BloodlinesMegaPack in arround 2 weeks, because of the speed i been working on. Also i been slacking with it since 3 years... its time to finish once and for all, and maybe some one will make or convert bloodlines map into redemption.

Also would be cool to actually script the whole story as a game inside Redemption... imagine playing bloodlines story in redemption, its quite posible.

[Javokis]

I guess I should look into that, but that is not easy work last I checked because to make the box all proper in embrace you have to mess with coordinate tags in NOT Editor for the embrace tags for each template. Not easy since there will be a lot of templates to edit for embrace.

[Barnabas]

Hmm - I tried to place some NPCs and Probs from Gigapack. Unfortunally they don´t spawn in the map, but I can place them ingame with ST - how am I able to modify the gigapack, that I´m able to place the stuff with embrace?

[Javokis]

Use the Embrace only tags:

EDITORSIZE tags will be what you have to fiddle with for each template. You can use existing templates as reference (look in global.not, modernday.not, and darkages.not) to setup proper sizing parameters.

Tedious work...

[Barnabas]

The problem is, that I´m able to set a NPC or Prob in Embrace, but when I run the level, the placed NPCs do not spawn. I placed NPCs from Gigapack in another map with Embrace and had no problems there with them. They spawned and followed their scripts as it was planned.

Are you checking to make sure you aren't creating objects on another layer? Be sure you don't have layers active.

[Barnabas]

AAAAAHHHHH - that was the mistake. Thank you very much Javo - this was nearly driving me mad^^. Today is really the day of stupid mistakes - first the thing with the missing lights and now this - I should take a break
