Medieval

Basicly, I did a castle and I've done some models but each time I export it, it either craashes or becomes crap so I'd like someone who can export it properly to work with me and my medieval themed economy world. It's called Magnastorm, feel free to check it out.

Oh, and...http://theuniversal.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4396 might be useful. I made a few "medieval" (sort of) models for The Republic. All very low poly, designed for top-down faraway camera, and my textures are pretty ropey, but still... might be useful.

Actually I'd prefer if one could make them all from scratch because I never got to save the finished version, so the version I have is just about started. Thank you for the link, I can certainly use the horseman, is the man also available off-horse?

Don't say that until you've seen the horse animation ;) It looks almost, but not exactly, like two men trying not to look like a pantomime horse :)

The man isn't available separately at the moment. Wouldn't be too hard to do, though.

If so, is it possible to make all players use that character as main "vehicle"?

Post by **Fooli** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 10:39 pm

Yes: I think you can force all players to a certain vehicle when they join your world. I've had a bit too much wine to remember how, but I'm pretty sure it's possible....

As for the model: if you want a "generic medieval character" I've got one or two that might do, with a bit of tweaking. I'm just thinking: yes, I can re-do the knight, but it might be easier and better to use something else. Depends what you want: the knight's very low poly, and only really good for non-close-up use.

I was actually planning on having very close up camera in the game but since I'm not doing the model myself, I can't demand that you do a more detailed one, I'm happy with what I get.

heh. I'm just thinking, it might be easier to tweak an existing model that's already detailed, than to make something better out of a crappy guy sitting on a crappy horse. Did you definitely want a knight, or something just generally medieval-looking?

Medieval looking basicly, a knight would be a good "vehicle" aswell thought.

The setting is called Default Vehicle. By default it's 1. Setting it to 2 causes v2 to be used as v1, v3 to be used as v2, etc.
This means that people without a vehicle will use v2.

Thanks VDZ, Morb.

Just in case you haven't spotted it, Triki, there are a few other models on the model library that might work for you too:

Market: http://theuniversal.net/modellibrary.php?showcat=31

Blacksmith, logging site: http://theuniversal.net/modellibrary.php?showcat=24

Farms: http://theuniversal.net/modellibrary.php?showcat=32

Well: http://theuniversal.net/modellibrary.php?showcat=52

Castle construction kit: http://theuniversal.net/modellibrary.php?showcat=54

Sundial: http://theuniversal.net/modellibrary.php?showcat=60

A mixed bag, and none were specifically designed to be medieval, but.. y'know, might save a bit of time or at least provide placeholders until you get whatever it is you want.

it doesen't change the other vehicle numbers. v3 would still be v3

Thank you Zarobe, it definatly sounds more logical.

You sure? I remember having some vehicle number weirdness because I had set the default vehicle to 12...
