Professor Farnsworth for UT2004 - Unleashed!

[legacy-Slyrr77]

orry about the delay - but I wanted to make sure he was as 'done' as possible, and Radiosity and Chip were a big help.

Here he is - Prof. Farnsworth player model for UT2004!

Thanks to help from the Beyond unreal denizens, he has particle FX for his chair, and the weapon placement coding has been fixed.

He comes with full custom animations, skins, a full voice pack of his best mad scientist quotes, and even CTF4 skin support!

visit my model page to grab him and test him out:

and hit the UT2004 page. This is version 1.0, so report any bugs. He's UMOD ready, so he should be easy to install....

Special thanks to Chip and Radiosity for the coding and extra labor. Enjoy!

I got it as soon as I spotted it over at BeyondUnreal... Since this week’s to-do list doesn’t include UT2k4, I don’t think I will play it anytime soon. However, I’m sure it can’t be bad, seeing that you won 4th place of the MSUC with your Deinonychus model.

[legacy-Mr_Caravaggio]

Great job and glad to see you seemed to have got the weapon placement problem sorted out.

2 questions:
Do his hands not move? Doesn't look like it in the screens.

Also, I didn't know you could include a particle system in a model. Is it taxing on the system? That'd be great for a character I'm making that has a cigarette in his mouth. You wouldn't happen to have a tutorial link would you?

[legacy-Slyrr77]

As to the coding and such, I didn't do that - it's all Radiosity and Chip Nyman, and much thanks to them for it. :)

The hands do indeed move, but because of the way UT2004 'blends' different animations, a sequence that has his arms in one place will have them tilted up or down, depending whether the player is LOOKING up or down. UT uses the spine bone to rotate the waist up or down depending on which direction you're looking. As such, the arms, which are supposed to remain locked on the joysticks of the chiar, will sometimes slide. It's a game coding thing that can't be controlled.

:up:

Looks good - I'm going to grab it tonight - I love the slippers! He should be in a bath robe though...

[Slainchild]

Nicely done! :up:

[legacy-Slyrr77]

Anyone else having trouble joining servers? The Farnsworth model uses custom SPECIES info and has a CLASSES folder for the emitters and such. I was under the impression from the last couple of patches that EPIC fixed the game so that sort of thing wouldn't cause issues when trying to join net games. Is that not the case?

Slyrr

[legacy-Majik2]

Huzzah for Slyrr! Been waiting ages for this, but I'm sure it was worth the wait.

Can we expect more Futurama characters from you in the future?

[legacy-MrScruff]

nice. i've got all your models.

[legacy-<=N1GHTW1SH=>]

1. slyrr, nice one!:D

2. scruff, check your inbox!!!:mad: or ask me to send it again!

3. slyrr, i sent u a pm. please check it!

I'm having trouble joining some servers. It says Incompatible game file something referencing farnsworthcore.u

[legacy-Alopexau]

lol, superb :D

The animations, particularly the taunts are first rate, as always with your models. The chair idea is /so/ befitting the character and I love how he turns his head depending on direction.

If you have even the slightest inkling to do another futurama character, PLEASE make it Dr.Zoidberg!

Me too. Only some servers. I have a .bat file I run to temporarily replace my custom .upl files with the retail versions, then another .bat to copy them back, because of similar server compatibility probs (like the RawSteel "Guardian" character, for instance, that often messes up my attempts to get to some places I want to go). Will probably add a rename of farnsworthcore.u to it. Having this model is definitely worth the small workaround! Kudos, ~~~~~!!!

[CVROY]

This is so freaking funny! Nice 1!!!

[jaybud4]

Not ~~~~~!! Slyrr!
Niiiiice. D/Ling. Possibly. Yes.

that means u started it? YAY!!!:D :up: :up:

[legacy-Firebaall]

Do you have a non UT4mod module version? I can't seem to get the Umod to install this.

I'm thinking I'll have to install it manually.

***edit***

I used Umod Browser to install it.

[legacy-Kindness]

Loving it and made use of the Paypal icon link on http://home.comcast.net/~gregfisk/3dmodel.htm.

Here is a ZIP install: ZIP format non-Umod (http://unrealtournament2004.filefront.com/file/;39108)

Also, if your Umod is not working, just re-install the latest patch... I found that after installing the ECE pack it messes it up but re-doing the latest patch fixes it :)

[legacy-Slyrr77]

Hmm - I made the UMOD version because when I did the zip, lots of folks said they didn't know where to put the files....

Alas, I don't have enough room on my server for both zip and umods, so the umods will have to do. Glad you found a workaround though.

And to those who made use of the paypal link, I thank thee :)

[legacy-eviL<3]

The pictures look cool! I downloaded it, but how do i install it? :bored:
This is the first thing i ever downloaded for Unreal Tournament 2004, so i don't know...

[legacy-Kindness]

Extract the UMOD file contained in the ZIP archive to any location on your disk or to your desktop, then double-click the UMOD file to begin the UT2004 installation. Follow the installer instructions and your done. Once installed, you can throw the UMOD file into the trash can.

[legacy-Aldo 1]

Cool I love it an old fart for an old fart play with.

[legacy-Slyrr77]

Shameless bump - can't let him vanish from the page after only one week :)

[legacy-Torgo 3000]

True, Not-~~~~~.

Unfortunately, this is scoring a false positive on a lot of servers with anti-TCC. :cry:

What I do, when I run into one of these servers that I really have to be on ... I run this .bat script:

echo off
echo Poor Old Prof. Farnsworth will be lonely ...
echo bring him back when you're done with this llama server, do0d.
pause
move farns*.* farnbackup

Should be noted: I created a \UT2004\System\farnbackup directory to catch the files.

When I'm done, I just drag and drop the files back to \UT2004\System.

"The Professy will help..."
*bumps thread*
"Thread indeed hot!"


:heart: :up:

[legacy-::GiBlitZ::]

Classic - love it.

All my games have Junkyard Mech and Raptor - (Deinonychus). Now they include Professor Hubert Farnsworth.

I've always got a laugh out of the taunts from your models, and the Prof. is no exception - Great Stuff and thanks a lot.

PS - I love how the Prof. nods off when protecting the flag when there's no activity at the flag ( CTF of course). I zoom into the flag with a Tomahawk Missile and give him a very rude awakening - lol.

[legacy-Kindness]

Still loving this. ;)

[legacy-MrScruff]

i get a uncompatable game file alot, but i still use this.

:)

[AnubanUT2]

Now we just need Fry and the circle wil be complete .. then maybe ... just maybe Hermes?

Fantastic, Amazing, Fun-filled, a laugh a second ... all these things come to mind when I play with this model. :D :up: :cool:

[legacy-AdrenalineSRX]

Who is Professor Farnsworth?

[legacy-Klasnic]

Character from Futurama ;)

Great work as always Slyrr so no surprise there. Chip 'n Radiosity too :)

Really good model and lots of fun all round. Thanks :up:

UMM ECUSE ME! WHAT!!>!!!?!?!!?

proffessur zodibireg any1?

:mad:


:heart:

[Jes]

Zoidberg! Zoidberg! Zoid-Zoid-Zoid-Zoid-Zoidberg!

[AnubanUT2]

While I love Zoidy he is not part of the core team. Really the Prof. aint either but how can complain when you get a model of such quality? :up:

The show is about Fry afterall ... and the first three characters introduced were Fry, Bender, and Leela :D

[legacy-ghouck]

Slyrr, you mind if I take a peek at and maybe use some of your code from this model? I'm making a flying vehicle and could use some effects similar to what you use here.
Either way, Kick@$$ model, top-notch work there! :up:

[legacy-Slyrr77]

If you wish - but if you want to know how it was REALLY done, check the readme and contact Radiosity and Chip Nyman, who actually did the coding....

well.... it's just that in my opinion it's the FUNNIEST GUY in the show. and leela the UNFUNNIEST (especially in the later episodes.. no.. wait.. in all episodes)

[legacy-jerryhumbarger]

I got that model, it is very cool. Thank you.
