Ramirez (UT99 Remake) [1 PIC, No Download]

[lexzz]

Ramirez - my remake of classic UT model.
This is my first experience.



At this point ready the test model (without normal maps). But I think there is still a lot of work:
- Rebuild mesh and textures.
- Make shoulderpads
- Make Normal maps (I do not like them)
- And more, more, more...

P.S.: I was able to create new Faction (with some trouble)... and I want to make a set of 4 models (UT Classic Commando).

Nicely done! The armor looks pretty sweet, especially with the bullet holes.

[odkKoma]

Alright! New Faction = awesomeness!! Please post how-to for the others!

I loved the Commando characters! Thank you very much. But please do take your time! I rather wait 3 months and see your full potential!

Cheers!

[Notorious187]

Yeah, please do post up how you managed to get a new faction working - character looks great btw

[lexzz]

odkKoma, find Faction strings in CustomChars.ini... I used a existing Iron Guard Faction. But i don't understand how to use self-made interior and break parental links with IronG faction (in this case, the new faction have access to all parts of models of parental faction).
And finally you want to make a picture in custom package for the new faction.

You can experiment

Creating a custom faction is still broken; critical elements are hardcoded. Epic is aware of it and has added it to their fix list.

Awesome!! Are you going to make a female commando, too? I'm sure a lot of people would love to have one of those.

Really? That's certainly good news. Is custom voice pack support on their fix list as well?

[lexzz]

I'll think about Female Commando, but only after the completion Male.

[Metalpain]

Can you create BROCK of ut99?

[4TX4]

I'll think about Female Commando, but only after the completion Male.

Cool! I always thought it was a shame those classic models were only available in low poly. Now if Epic can fix custom voice pack support, we can have the real UT99 experience in UT3.

Dunno, haven't seen a post about it, but it's certainly been mentioned enough...

[Mr.UglyPants]

Now just make him all bulky and he'll be like the normal characters.

Still, wonderful job.

[4TX4]

No, he's fine the way he is. He should look like the models from UT99, only higher poly -- that's the whole point. It's refreshing to see someone who looks like a normal guy instead of a walking tank.

[Mr.UglyPants]

But the walking tanks are so funny to look at.

[Pivot_xyz]

Wow nice..when i looked at the model face i remembered him...but wasnt Ramirez with some camouflage make up???....

anyway I love it and good thing you found how to create new factions

[lexzz]

In camouflage was another guy, i don't remember his name.

I think that the first beta will be ready in the weekend. I hope

[Irvin Smalls]

That's cool dude...I wished the Epic Games would bring back all the old UT99 characters
models for UT3.

[Mastame]

Hahaha, that's great. I just clicked this topic seeing the Model-tag, my brain not having processed 'Ramirez', 'remake' and 'UT99' yet, so the sight of a UE3 Ramirez gazing at me was a nice surprise. Awesome, hehe.

[lexzz]

the last news. Well, i need help.
Here are two screens:
Select characters menu....


And ingame screen...


What am I doing wrong?

[Cold_Killer]

Maybe you could rename him the Silver Surfer.

[lexzz]

Silver Murder )))))

No... This is not a solution

[BuffyTheSlayer]

cant wait to have it !

[lexzz]

nothing to wait until i solve the trouble with textures

The problem with making an interior for the model to exist in, is the current ones, are not part of an .ini or anything, but part of a map file that the game uses for the main menu. Once game loads the menu and the map, the UI tells kismet what to do inside the map, which is where it will take you to for the corresponding faction's display. This part of the hardcooded problems that was mentioned, in this part of the problem, its a "cooked" problem.
