Help Update the DCUG!

[BentonGrey]

Thanks, SPY! 

So guys, I'm getting back to work, and I'm picking up with my LSH mini-campaign.  I'm working on a new map for the future setting, and I'm adapting some of Tommy's work from his awesome mod.  I want to use the Legion clubhouse mesh he created, but I'm wondering if anyone is willing to tweak the skin a bit for me.

On a partially related note, does anyone have a map-pack updated copy of HumanTon's Midtown map?  Weirdly, the copy in my download of the Mappack seems to be blank.

And here's an odd one: can anyone give me just a blank, alphaed texture?  Something that would be transparent and have nothing on it?

I might have an older version, before they were collected into the map-pack.  The date on my zip for that is 22 Mar '03.  The readme does say it's a beta, missing finer touches such as sounds.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks PG!  Well, beta or not, clearly something is off with my version, as it is literally just a blank terrain.

Here's another one.  Does anyone have (or would anyone be willing to make) an FF car or the like with a generic 'future-y' looking dude driving it?  I want some traffic in the 30th century.  I know there are various versions of the FF car with pilots, and if there is one with a male_basic driver, I'm sure I can find something suitably future-y.

[deanjo2000]

Maybe the fantasticar on daglobs page at alexff? That has a driver and passengers.

[BentonGrey]

A little too recognizable, I think.  I know that there have been various vehicles with drivers done.  It seems like there would be an FF Car one, but if not, I suppose I can copy over the driver from one of the others.

So guys, I'm getting back to work, and I'm picking up with my LSH mini-campaign.

If you need help with that, i have a bunch of LSH digital comics if you need visual references for characters or places. I also can take some pictures of powers to make new fx's in case it's needed.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks, Ok!  I may take you up on that!  I've got all the characters built at this point, though I may ask you to help me test it out when I'm ready.  I'm trying to work out some details of the story, though, and I'd love some input.  I'll send you a message.

[BentonGrey]

So, here's another one, and this one may not be practical.  I'm looking for things to make my 30th Century map pop, things to make it feel special.  I think I've got a lot of cool features, but I was thinking about a central feature in a little park area flanked by big statues.  I thought a fountain would be a cool point of interest, but the vanilla fountains all felt too insignificant and parochial in this context.  So, here's my idea.  What about a fountain of light?  Would it be possible to add particle emitters to one of the fountain objects, like those on a Wonderman or Human Torch mesh?  Something that shots out a bunch of sparks or the like?  Would anyone be willing to do that for me?  Is that possible?

:EDIT: Yet another one.  I've got a nice science police mesh from Tommyboy, but the gun isn't showing up, and it isn't hidden on the mesh.  I think maybe it's alphaed out, but I have no idea how to fix it.  Anyone willing to take a look at the skope/skin for me?

Hello CP, I'm afraid I have no plans to add Wildstorm.  However, the purpose of the DCUG was always to add as a springboard for others to make their own content, so feel free to add those characters you've been working on and even release your own expansion once I'm done!

[deanjo2000]

Send it my way and I?ll see if I can help.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks, Dean!

So, here's another one: I've got an awesome Cosmic Boy skope that John Jr. made for me, but the mesh needs brightening up for FF2.  Unfortunately, there's something wrong with the skope when I open it in Nifskope.  Most of the body, other than the hips and thighs, doesn't load, leaving only a skeleton.  And I get this error message:

"failed to load block number 256 (NiSkinPartition) previous block was NiSkinData"
"failed to load nif from 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich/Custom/Art/library/characters/vxCosmic_Boy-skope/character.nif'"

Oddly, the mesh works great in game and in CTool.  I'm not sure what to do with this, but I clearly can't brighten it up this way.

NiSkinPartition

This is the problem.

I have had this issue several times trying to open some meshes in nifskope. I suspect it has to do with the fact that they are meshes that have come from a 3d editing program like blender or studiomax. 

I still have not been able to know how to fix this problem, so I join your request. I only know that it has to do with "NiSkinPartition", which seems to be a way to fix some pieces to the main skeleton of the mesh.

Would you happen to know where x-dud's sentinel mesh is?
