Re: Shattered Faith Mod Update

But why would you show WIP's if they didn't look good enough to show, without a disclaimer? It just seems silly. If work is half done, you shouldn't show it.

When mod teams show of unfinished work, they do it for many reasons.

2 of those are,

To get critque from the general public and potentional players.

And to inform people of how development is moving along.

Looking good enough, to what ever standard you may be refering too, is not really an issue. Nor do I think we need a disclamer to what the word WIP means.

See, what you must understand is that importing brand new player models into the BF2 engine is still very much unknown knowledge at this point. There has been no documentation on it from EA or dice, and most mods have not managed anything other than reskinned BF2 base models. Our models, on the other hand, are completely custom made and imported into the game without the use of the original BF2 player models. As such, we're still tweaking around with many of the issues involved in setting up the bone and skin structure and how it responds ingame, and its a long task to get looking the way we want. Yes, our player models are still a WIP when it comes to their look ingame. But to us, getting them ingame, fully animated, and looking as well as they do now is a HUGE accomplishment to us personally, and its something we wanted to show to the community.

Chellis ANY mod released right now for BF2 is a WIP. How many completed mods are out right now? None. Its common damn sense. The game has been out for like 3-4months. Gives the teams some time to work on stuff.

Congrats to you Shattered Faith guys. So many great BF2 mods on the horizon. I dunno what I'll be playing!

I never said not to release WIP work. I was saying that one shouldn't release pics, then when people critisize it, jump in with "its a WIP!". The work should be able to stand on its own.

Try reading my entire post next time.

My post was not in argument of critisism. My post was to inform people that we are aware of many of the things they have said, and gave the reason why they look as such. But that we also enjoy and are thankful for the comments, and hope to recieve more.

$50 says chellis is someone from a different mod. Fact is this mod looks better than the rest because it is so unique.

Ohh, well if its fact, then I'll just stop arguing then.

Re: Shattered Faith Mod Update

Nice work guys. First custom player models for any mod 'ingame'.

Question on the tent, is that a bundlemesh or a staticmesh?

Re: Shattered Faith Mod Update

the enemy name tag showing up, kills the hiding in the tall hay, nice work though

Re: Shattered Faith Mod Update

For above and wip questions - It's all part of the development process - and that's why we do it. ;-)

Jilted, the tent is being implemented as a static mesh, part of a full texture pallet set. It's also a static in map so we can burn on the base lighting - and combine that with dynamic lighting as well.

Need_2_Kill, that's actually a friend name-tag. ;-)
