As seen hurr.

Not to be rude, but your Chinese lettering is 5 kinds of screwed up. I can't even read it.You mind posting a screen shot of the original model and I'll get you a high resolution version of what the proper characters.

Yeah I do know 4 languages but chinese isn't one of them, I just traced them from that low-resolution pic DragonNinja posted.

E:/ I AM ON FIRE TODAY

arrrr millenia!!! you made the stub texture on the gatling gun sheet! this is messing up lotsa things ><

Well kind of; I made the stub as a part of the gatling gun originally since I didn't know they have to be separate >_>
How does it mess things up though? It shouldn't really change anything D:

I hate to have this be my first post in the topic and sound like a douche, but my curiosity is getting the better of me. Are the holes in the buster sword intended to be off-center for some reason? The buster sword is supposed to have them directly in the middle of the blade, right above the handle. This is otherwise the definitive model IMO as it stays true to the original instead of the Crisis Core/PS3 Demo remodel. Kudos for going that route, I agree 100% - the nuts-and-bolts style of the original is superior to the newer stuff.

Yeah I didn't have a side reference picture in Max, I just looked at pics and roughly estimated the proportions etc so everything might not be exactly in place, sorry D:

E:/ Hardedge!

its because the stub also has a portion of his arm, which is textured from the skin/barret texture, and one object cant access 2 textures.so either add some skin on the gatling or move the stub over, nehow i'll talk to u soon, as there are a few other changes to be made, gratz on the swords!

BlitzNCS · « **Reply #153 on:** 2009-07-22 14:29:53 »

Actually, if you make it into 2 groups, i THINK you can tell each group to reference a different texture. i could be wrong though.

Well I guess I could try to squeeze the stub onto the Barret texture in that case.

No worries, I was just curious. It's a pretty common mistake I see in a lot of mods, in fact I did the same thing the first time I drew it since I drew it completely from memory.
New swords are looking crisp, good stuff. I'm interested to see your take on Ultima Weapon now.

I found it.

It's supposed to read "ittouroudan" (ä¸€åˆ€ä¸¡æ–) which is Japanese for "cutting in two with a single stroke" Here's a nice high-resolution version of the characters on it.

I would strongly suggest you change the characters. It looks really stupid with jibberish on it. Not only that, the one on top is *backwards*.

Millenia · « **Reply #158 on:** 2009-07-22 15:29:39 »

Thanks Halkun! I owe you one

I'll go change 'em immediately

E:/

Much MUCH better. Thanks again

Ragna · « **Reply #159 on:** 2009-07-22 16:21:39 »

Congratulations!!
You are doing an awesome job here, pal!!
Still the Japanese characters in the upper screenshot of the 'Hardedge' are mirrored.
Maybe it's me... Should you fix it?

Indeed, I think they should be only in one side of the sword, not both.

PS.: Keep up the good work!!!!

Millenia · « **Reply #160 on:** 2009-07-22 16:29:59 »

The uvmap is mirrored so they'll automatically be on both sides :/

And I think the reason they seem to be mirrored is because the sword is in fact upside down in the render (unless you already took this into account)

Also; high-5 to you for being Finnish

titeguy3 · « **Reply #161 on:** 2009-07-22 16:43:08 »

Kudos finding the original kanji for the hardedge, halkun! I'm studying japanese and I couldn't make out what the pic said, either.

The butterfly sword looks nice, but isn't it missing a materia slot..?

Millenia · « **Reply #162 on:** 2009-07-22 17:10:56 »

Ick, completely forgot about that >_>

Oh well, it's already converted so I don't feel like changing - it's not like it'll make a HUGE difference ingame

Kudistos Megistos · « **Reply #163 on:** 2009-07-22 18:03:45 »

Words can no longer express my appreciation for these textures

halkun · « **Reply #164 on:** 2009-07-22 18:19:29 »

Yea, that kanji is reversed in the top, you may just have to make a separate mapping for the other side.

Millenia · « **Reply #165 on:** 2009-07-22 18:22:24 »

4 first swords released, check the first post.

Caveat: you will want, probably need to, use Aali's driver with these babies (not that you wouldn't want to anyway!) - the 4 swords are on a single, 24-bit 1024x1024 texture.

Decompile your battle.LPG into a new folder using Ficedula's LGP tools program, then put the files you downloaded into the folder then when it asks you to overwrite the files say yes. Then create a new LGP called battle (if you deleted the older LGP) or call it battle2 then rename the older one to something else to battle BAK, and rename the battle2 to battle.

Then it should work.

Hard Edge is also missing it's slots on the side of the hand guard as well. I guess it's just a matter of accepting what's been given.

titeguy3 · « **Reply #171 on:** 2009-07-23 04:28:00 »

Yeah I really don't mind it at all, just pointing it out.

Grateful for the weapon mods, they look great!

Also, you need to use apz's Cloud or modify the default Cloud so that it uses 10 texture slots.

Latter option is obviously the better one though; saves you the effort of having to modify stuff yourself and looks way better

Yeah I was thinking the holes looked pretty retarded on the handguard so I left them out :/
