GrimSta's Roman Reskin - Version 0.1 Released!!

[pipfromslitherine]

The model format for Legion Arena is horrible & something we are dumping for the future. It's really not possible to release the models as they are. You'll have to stick to texture modifications for now

Ave Iain,

What format were the models modelled in, if I may be so bold as to ask? Why is it not possible to release the models?
Is some legal or copywrite thing?

It's more that the number of tools, utilities and special commands you need to make the models do anything sensible is stupid. We dropped the ball somewhat on it - as Iain says we are reworking our asset pipeline for future projects!

Cheers

Pip

First, thank you pip and slitherine, you guys are some of the nicest game-makers I have ever known

woah.......what the hell happened there?!?

If you can send me the skin then ill have a look and try and solve it for the next release.

my email is grimsta@war-arena.tk

Nah, this was me messing around. I just didn't have the skins for all the units in there (because I backed them up, but forgot to keep the original ), so they defualt to rainbow

[grimsta]

lol.

Tactica Romani:
Chapter I: To cuase maximum discomfort to your enemies painting your Equites Auxilia in the colours of the rainbow is the best possible method. There are many reports of multi-coloured soldiers from the first legion of Rome causing severe casualties on a variaty of nations - Aedui Gaul, Samnites, PAdone Gauls and Syracusan Greeks. It is poitnless to say that the best usage of the many coloured soldiers is to screen your army with them because untill the invention of Raybans nothign will be able to stand up to them.

Next up
Triarii


Im also working on some skins using th enon-historical (for this time span) Lorica Squamata or Lamellar Armour.
but thats for later

[fatetriarrii]

Wow, how do you make the chain mail? Is that from scratch? It looks amazing!

[grimsta]

haha, trade secret

[honvedseg]

What graphics programs support the .dds graphics format? Are there any affordable paint programs to do the job, or only the mega-denarii Adobe Photoshop with extra-cost add-ons?

[grimsta]

I use photoshop 7 (ultra cheap student discount )

but i posted this in a seperate topic.

Links:
The Gimp for Windows (Compiled): You can get that from Here!!
Photoshop 7 Trial: You can get that from Here!!
nVidia .DDS convertor for Photoshop: Available from Here!!
DDS2 Convertor: Available from Here!!
Autodesk 3DS Max 8: Get that from Here!!

They are all useful programs. but we cant actually make models so ignore the 3DS Max part.

hey all, just to let you know, ill be taking a short brake form making skins while i help get the website KScott and myself are crating up and running. A friend kindly agreed to design it, but there are other things i need to do.

Also, My enthusiasm waxes and wanes depending on the mood im in, so for now i just cant be arsed to do any more (for the time being), I have some personal issues....family bereavments ( ) etc, so im feeling kinda down just now.

I'll get back to you later. and I still want a mod to sticky this

Tarrah for now lads.

Thanks for the words guys, i appreciate them
Well the website is nearly done ( ) But I'll be away for a while anyway.......

I'll Be Back (that really needs an austrian accent....)

[grimsta]

Oooooooo Kay

Im back for round 2.

Im gonna let the community decide what they want me to do next! What skin requests does everyone have???

[tora_tora_tora]

I want amazoness, if you would like to.

I'm thinking modding shielded_javelinmen into dual use unit, which can fight melee-combat and missile_combat.
Tweaking status is relatively easy, hard part is how to change his face into woman's one, and possibley long hair, and breast.

Would you like to do that?

[grimsta]

Righto, I can do the womans face fairly easily, but adding breasts would require modelling, Im sorry mate

I can make the Archer an Amazon style unit if you like though

I really appreciate Arhcer in Amazon style, too. I'm looking forward your reskin to come

[kyle]

how do you upload your skin work to these forums?

[kyle]

Your work is truely amazing, I know this has been said before, but its true.

What is your complete project going to involve?

[grimsta]

I upload the skins to a place called Badongo, and just set the download links - the images are upload to www.photbucket.com or imageshack.us i can never remeber which - both work

Thanks for the compliments, I'll start work asap.

[sciplo]

Could someone please send me the file? ( toti@gmx.com ) I cannot download it from the location that was posted. In return i would offer to host the mod-files. Got plenty of space & bandwith


Regards,
