SkelMech model [pics]

[legacy-The[EVILENGINE]]

Name:SkelMech
Version:1.0
Compatibility:
Description:Just a mishmash of different UT2004 bots and textures to form a new bot model, something I did for the heck of it.
Comments:Not really, but originally I used custom bot animations, but it turned out EPIC's bot animations have a crouch/fire-aim bug....ughhh, so I just used something else instead.

Contains two versions, one with a transparent armor with a skeleton inside and another just with armor.

I would post the direct link but HQ's long@$$ url ends up unlinkable. If someone has a cure for that let me know so I can edit this post.

Wow, that's pretty awesome, man! Probably no TC's, but I downloaded it, will check it out.

[legacy-The[EVILENGINE]]

The non-invisable one doesn't, but the regular one does(have teamcolors)

[legacy-bretthuge]

dude with all these class looking models your getting a rep as a pretty narli dude

[legacy-JaFO(JBE)]

Excellent ... an original looking robot-model that isn't an almost naked chick or a port of another model. :D

The textures do seem to vary in quality/resolution though.
The teamcolours are a bit 'dull' and could be a bit brighter (not neon-glow) as well. There could be more of them on the model itself as well.

I hope you can make more of this kind of stuff in the future :)

[jefe]

Turned out very nice. :up:

Put parentheses around the url, like this.

Oh theres alot more along the way. I just had to clear out my cache of UT2003-converted-to-UT2004 models first before putting out anything else. Since the porting issue has been blown out of proportion, it's time to skip some and get to something different.

[legacy-Gui]

Very cool IMO :up:

:heart:

[legacy-Kindness]

Really nice model.

[legacy-Carbs]

Played it, and I love it! I'd use the invis one all the time (snazzy) if his arms didn't sort of float in the air so much. :D

[legacy-BananaSalat]

Where can i get thouse cool weapons ?:eek:

[legacy-Jeenitals]

Any way you could include just the skeleton? Would be funny to walk around blasting people with.

[legacy-Carbs]

Haha, when you play as the invis one and die, when you float away, only the skel is green, the armor remains see-through / normal! :D
Also, I haven't seen bots using it. Can they?

[legacy-Invalid]

I think those weapons are from the Skaarj pack he released. Those models look great, downloading now! Can't wait to see what else you have.

You have to go to the UCL file and add "botuse=1" at the end before the last parenthesis.

[legacy-StealthMonkey]

another jorb well done evil

[Triminal]

oi!! im supposed to say that.....

[legacy-Darth_Chaos]

A very nice model EE. The red tc of the robot isn't that clear though the blue came out well to me, what happened? It would have been nice to see tcs on the skeleton like a red/blue-tinted-suit or coloring the skeleton red or blue. Though there is always a next pack. :rolleyes:This kit is very good and imposing which is great nowadays, though its a bit tall(like those big skaarj from SSI, another excellent pack).

[legacy-Harsh_but_Fair]

EE! Great models! Need a bio. I would do 1, but i don't know how
:(.

Btw have u seen this:

I usually never add bios to the models , I don't know its just corny to me I guess. I have no problem with people adding them, or even suggesting it being added during beta tests.
Yeh I know I will get flack for it from some "bot enthuisiasts" but thats just me. I will try to add a bios text in whatever comes out of my closet in the future.

You're joking right? I mean why even bother ... Let the users use their imagination and write up a bio of their own. It's a very easy process. But what does a bio matter anyway ... it's not like any of their taunts refer to anything in the bios. I just think it is a waste of your time and something that imaginative writer types should do ... to keep that mind active and working. Just my opinion of course. And I only play IA and have EVERY Skin and model that is released for UT2K4 (some are not installed ... they are too ugly) and 90% of the models available for UT2K3. I've always done my own bios for characters that I really liked ... even if they already came with one I would change it (sometimes completely). Peace. :)

[legacy-Darth_Chaos]

I have to agree with Anubin. If you want a bio right your own its not that hard. And if you don't know how look around the threads I've seen it around here a couple times. Now if EE is really R.A. Salvatore, L. A. Modessit, Orson Scott Card or C.J. Cherryh then it would be another stroy... and if he was I don't think he would have the time to make these excellent pieces of art.

[legacy-Iceboy2003]

Most modelers put some sort of stock bio containing "Newest participant in the tournament, hails from ______ or built by Dr. ______", etc.

Model looks great. I'm debating putting it on my server though, as it doesn't have team skins (nothing against EE, but I prefer to have vehicle animations and/or team colors present in models I put on the server)

What are you talking about? It has team colors. Just not the see through version. Just take it out of the UPL and keep the other version in it.

Ohhh....

I thought the see through version was the one with out colors...

Ok... downloading then :noob:

(If you consider doing an updated version, maybe color the skeleton for the see through one for team skins?)

[legacy-obscenery]

hmmm, not sure how good colored (or coloured for non-yanks) bones would look, kind not real, but then well it is unreal:bulb:

[legacy-Carbs]

It'd be cooler to have the see-through part be lightly tinted the team color, then you'd be neonesque and if you have all the bots look like that, you can get a seizure playing the Neon Arena CTF map! :up:

Tinting the transparency would look better than a red or blue skeleton. I don't know how much saturation one would need to make it apparent which team the player is on.

[legacy-Darth_Chaos]

Tinting the texture does sound better since there is more area being seen than just the skeleton though it may make it look like the skeleton was swalloowed by a jello monster. :D :rolleyes: :D

[legacy-Yournan2000]

looking good evil, now for team colours have you though of perhaps having the skeleton glow that colour? would make a difference to have a animated team skin.

Looks cool mate, btw when you releasing those weapons its holding?

what else you got in the works any other cool models? Samus Aran from metriod is a cool character **hint** ;)Also teh tyrant from resident evil as well.

MsM

[legacy-obscenery]

The cool weapons were released in his U2Skaarj release.

Look here (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=396937)

[legacy-Darth_Chaos]

Obscenery you failed to mention something important which is that if you download U2Skaarj you have to read the whole thread to understand how to fix its problems.

[AnubanUT2]

Hey everyone but especially EE,

This is a great Robot which makes me ask the question have any of you seen the Heavy Trooper robot created by Josh Nizzi and Scott Rays? That was another really unique looking robot that was modeled and skinned very well? Just curious ... if you haven't seen it you might want to check it out. I got it off of Planet Unreal on the MSU contest pages. This model was a finalist ... I don't remember all the details, but it is one of the best robot models I had seen and it keeps me playing UT2K3. This model is part of the Future Comabt Scenarios mod but you can easily separate it out and use it as a stand alone model (like I have). The actual file is called FCS_Alpha0.1.zip. Peace. :D

[Bort]

I already unzip the ukx and upl files, but i cant see the model :down: :cry:
