Title: Towns
Post by: Grimmy on 2009-12-28 23:12:00
Here are some of the towns I've finished so far. I've been using FMV and Flevel images to create the new textures. Lots of these use the same textures and apply them differently in each spot, so in short there will always be some misalignment.

Each of the following towns used the same wall texture and if I add doors or windows they look ridiculous

I've also finished Chocobo Sage's house, Weapon Seller's, and Rocket Town.

Very little tech support will be offered. I will say that the towns folder goes in the WMRP folder.

finally decieded to share with the rest of the class ;)
They're looking great! A few crits though, the light colored tent for N Corel should just be matched to the other one.  The dark on looks great and the white on the other tent looks wierd.  The roofs on Mideel have a wierd checkerboard effect on them, not sure if it can be removed or if you have to make a new texture.

Bone village looks amazing! Can't wait to see these released.

Title: Re: Towns

Chocobo Farm uses two textures, but it uses the same texture for the front of the house and the barn.

I try to change the texture of the farm. It's so hard with only 2 textures  :-( what do you think grimmy?  :|

These look fantastic Grimmy, nice work. These will be an option on the Avalanche installer I assume?
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: sl1982 on 2010-01-08 18:35:25
Absolutely, but probably not until all the world map is completed. Unless pyrozen wants to release something earlier.

well, i could do a nearly complete release today if you wanted to. If you plan on releaseing more updates in the future, i don't see any harm in releasing another beta installer. The world map would only be missing a few textures, and it may help to have users take shots and help me indentify what exatcly is still missing.  I am awaiting the rivers from alberto, the oceans are finished, so it would be a very nice upgrade from the last release.

Will this include grimmy's work on the towns?
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: pyrozen on 2010-01-08 23:46:36
i will include grimmys towns and albertos oceans, if he sends me the river we can include those as well. Also gjoerulv has given us permission to add his hardcore mod as well. I believe it is near final, so if you want to hold off for the final release we could. It only alters the battle.lgp so it should not affect anything in the TAOH project.

hey, how can i apply this changes? coz when i downloaded it, theres no read me file.  :-P
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: pyrozen on 2010-01-09 01:22:02
if you don't know how to manually apply them, wait for the auto-installer. It will do all the hard work for you, and if sl is up to it we might have a new version out sometimethis week.

:) Cool, and the inclusion of the retextured Diamond Weapon World Map model and battle model would be good too.

Grimmy is just doing some finishing touches on it. So yes it will be included.

Post by: Jaitsu on 2010-01-11 21:25:33
im not asking for most technical help, just making sure im doing this correctly.... sinse i suck :P

so i create a "towns" folder, in the texture folder, in the WMRP folder, then put the .png  's in the towns folder

and i put all the .tex in world_us.lgp with lgp tools


do i have that correct?
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: Grimmy on 2010-01-11 21:31:54
Yep, that sounds correct.

FYI don't forget the Canon when it is on Junon. (Just noticed it, don't know whether you forgot it or not.) :)
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: Grimmy on 2010-01-17 09:44:16
Since the Sister Ray is a model from CC that I already put into my game it will be hard to convince me to do a retexture of the original model. If I do decide that it needs to be done for the sake of others then it'll be done when I finish Midgar and the Gold Saucer. The Rocket also falls into this category.
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: willis936 on 2010-01-17 22:45:43
I know the textures won't be able to be un-offset by a few degrees but towns like Kalm lose a lot of detail in the plain brick look.
It isn't much but I personally prefer just a regular house look to the shed look.  Maybe a few doors or windows? :D
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: Grimmy on 2010-01-18 13:58:19
Kalm Town, Rocket Town, Corel Prison, Weapon Seller's House, Nibelheim, And Chocobo Sage's House all use the same 2 textures for their walls. The only problem with adding doors and windows to the textures is that the textures are applied differently in every location. So you get floating doors, windows cut in half, windows the size of the whole wall, and a bunch of other alignment issues. The reason I went with a simple texture is that the other texture with doors and windows made the game look stupid, unfinished, and trashy.

Hey Grimmy I was thinking on redoing the actual models of the towns using blender or whatever. Just wondering if that would be possible and if you knew the location of these models?
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: BlitzNCS on 2010-01-18 16:55:14
They're part of the world map mesh, and therefore cannot be edited as yet.

Darn it! I was in blender making houses too...
Title: Re: Towns
Post by: Grimmy on 2010-01-18 17:58:11
Yes it would be great if the towns were models that could be edited in blender, because then you could adjust the uv map to fit on the above towns. As it stands now these are the only models that appear on the world map.

World map .hrc list

aaa- north crater dome
aba - buggy                 
aia - junon canon
aja - white chocobo
ata - cid
bbe - cloud
bkd - fort condor phoenix
ble - ancient key
bna - Diamond weapon
bud - emerald weapon
cec - sunken gelneka
cfc - gold saucer
cgd - highwind
cid - highwind 2
cmb - midgar cannon
cnb - anceint forrest
coc - Rocket town rocket
cpc - rocket town platform
cqc - ruby weapon
ddd - sud grey
dga - sub red
dic - stone henge thing
djc - red and white striped pole
dkc - metal key of anceints
dlb - tifa
dva - tiny bronco
dyb - ultima weapon
eje - underwater mako reactor
eke - shinra boat

Everything else is a texture being applied to the world map mesh. If someone find away to edit that thing it would be fantastic.
