FXForce Forever meant

[MikeB7]

So I am taking a look at skinning something and...

...I have 2,564 meshes in my Art/custom_characters folder.   

When doing FXForce/GPL, I would test every hex/skin/mesh, so I ended up with almost evvvverything.  lol

And many of the meshes I'm pulling up are distorted/wonky in the CTool.  Is that a FF1 mesh vs FFvTR mesh issue? 

2,564 meshes.

..and it's all your fault that your meshes are all distorted Mikey...that's what you get for experimenting too much!! (Probobaly is an FF to FFVTTR problem...you got Lightening Man's converter from ALexFF?)

Awesome!  Thanks DJ! I feel closer to you now.

You get a short reprieve before the demands for the *.tga files.  Enjoy every sunset in the meantime.

Has Glob finally done it? Has he convinced you to show your "new" avatar? After all these years?

I want to believe, but methinks this is but a decoy; a diversion for a darker, more insidious truth.

Hey, I could do that. And I will, too, if you don't. What's the base mesh?

If you ask me, a guy with a half-skull face is perfect for Halloween.


Mike: Sometimes that effect is caused by the mesh not completely being converted (I don't know how), and a second run through the converter usually takes care of that. And DJ is right; Lightning Man's converter is the way to go. I remember another converter a long time ago, and while it was good, LM's was better. And 10387 meshes in FF1.

There are a lot of duplicates, since I have a Male Basic etc. for every set of keyframes (Wish you could assign KF to a mesh in Character Creation).

.........I am not a Halloween only thing............

But it should be your time to shine. Mardi Gras too.

Ummm, DG, when have you ever known me to "shine"?  Yeah...not happening...

So if PreR ever checks back in this thread, I did a thing on the doop mesh while looking at skinning again.

Enh, I like DJ's better. This will do to make a Globby version for Halloween, though.

I'm here, Mikey Mike! I'm that gosh-darn goopedy goop that you just can't get rid of. And that skin... SO KYUUT! I'm gonna be making everyone jealous with mah hot new lewk!

Oh! And DJ? Thanks for sharing that pic of you. But... er... I think you've got something in your eye?

[Deaths Jester]

Blasphemy? Besmirching? Me? It's not my fault you have such beautiful beings floating around in the dark recesses of your skull.

<pours water into eye hole> Get the frrrrnnntt out of my skull!!!  IF you aren't paying rent, you don't belong there!!!

[Panther_Gunn]

Oh, I'm sure he's not the only thing not paying rent that's rattling around that bone box, DJ.  Quite a few unsavory bits in there, I'd say.

[Deaths Jester]

Ah but I put those unsavory bits there for later use, PG. The blob and Mikey crawled in without approval nor payment for using the space as a habitat. Now I gotta evict them.

Aww, thanks for the water, DJ! We were actually getting a little thirsty in here - and my goop was starting to dry out a little. Now I'm good and moist again.

<grabs a bottle of acid>

Okay, that's it! Out or the acid goes in!
