Egyptian Warlord [Download Final V1.0]

[The_Slaughter]

Holy hell!

What he said.

[Coreper]

awesome awesome awesome!!!
this looks incredible
i expected it to be too big in comparison with other ut3 models, but seeing it ingame, proves me wrong
cant wait to get it

does this model also feature a custom voicepack? [would be awesome to use one from the Nakhti people from UT2004]

[Davision]

thx guys! I still have no name for him. So if you have suggestions for a name, let me know!
I also need some names for bots.

@ Coreper
It has no voicepack yet. I dont like to rip sounds but the nakhti sounds can definitely be a good inspiration.

[rals]

how about ramsis...or athem...
they will be a ps3...?

[Fraeger]

Well, Egytian names...
Echnaton, Imhotep, Cheops, Tutanchamun, Osiris, Seth, Ra, Apophis

[bn_avit]

I have a few names and the meanings

1. Abasi = Stern
2.Abubakar = Noble
3.Adofo = Fighter
4.Akins = Brave
5.Amen = Ra - personification of the power of the universe and god of a united Egypt
6.Anubis = God of the Dead
7.Anpu = God of the Dead
8.Atemu = Mythical great god of Annu
9.Bomani = Warrior
10.Chike = The power of God
just a few there lol hope this helps!!!

[shak18]

[Legendary_Lee]

Hey Davision, what I really meant about the skirt was to ask you how you were able to animate it to flow like that in the game.. I suppose you used the ronin bone setup to use those bones?

[Coreper]

a good name could be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptia..._Ancient_Egypt

here are some names of wargods: Maahes, Monthu/Menthu, Resheph
they all sound pretty nice [imagine the UT2004 announcer saying their names :P ]

[Davision]

I think a gods name dont really fit to him because he looks human and should be still a warlord, pharaos names fit much better.
I think will go with Amenophis for the char, sounds kinda cool and the pharaos name sounds close to Apophis which is a god that is illustrated as a snake.
For the bots i pick: Ramses, Imhotep and Nehebkau

@ rals
Currently there is no support for custom materials and a lot of other things on the PS3. So for instance the gold wouldnt look like gold. But if epic patches that i will try to make a ps3 version.

@ bn_avit
where do you get the meanings of the words from?

@ shak18

......request it will be too much to ask for you to bring an entire all mighty Egyptian (Nahkti) Faction with the time

Yea, its too much to ask! this one was allready a crapload of work


@ Legendary_Lee
No i needed to add my own bones, because the ronin bones wouldnt fit, also they were not in the max file anyway. To animate them i had to make a custom physic asset, the big shoulder shields are also physic animated, they can extend through it.

@ Coreper
thats a cool list!

[bn_avit]

I did abit on Egypt in college and came across them there have um on a piece of paper

[Brits__Hit]

This is... insane... goddam ridiculous.

The detail is wicked. The gold material actually looks like gold.

The creativity and overall artistic quality of this model is through the roof.

I commend you.

[shak18]

Yea, its too much to ask! this one was allready a crapload of work

ok i was expenting that but i got nothing to lose asking

[Davision]

Updated first post!

[JumaAm]

nice model

[EvilEngine]

Cool model, only thing that needs to be looked at is the boot selection menu as it changes the shoulders. Must have done that for UVspace. Epic should give the ability to change that.
Are you going to add FP arms too?

[Thanatos]

Amazing model Davison

I found a slight bug with the model is that the left hand has no thumb when ragdolled instead it has a area of grey polygons:

This problem is not there on the right hand which has a human skin thumb:


Trust me to spot the tiniest of bugs, anyways excellent model and voicepack although to be honest I had trouble understanding him.

*EDIT* after looking at another UT3 male their left thumbs do a similar thing except they are pulled closer to the hand and clip the palm instead of being pulled inside. *EDIT*

[Davision]

thx
@ EvilEngine
yea i did that with the shoulders because of the uvspace, it really sucks allways haveing to use that uvw layout epic made.

@ Thanatos
Nice find! Thats a very strange bug because the finger are not physic animated and it only happens when ragdolled ingame. Cant do much about it for now, so he will keep loseing his finger when get ragdolled .

But i have fixed something else concerning the hands, the specular layer of the hands were off in the texture. Cant be really noticed if you dont know about, so theres no need to redownload it.

[EvilEngine]

Why not just unrig his troublesome thumb from the skeleton so its free. Thats one of the problems with epic's rig is the thumb. It has always caused a major thorn in my @$$ because it deforms wrong in game. It's easy to manually bend the thumb around on a comfortable position so it looks good holding a gun and rig it to the hand bone.

[CVROY]

nice model, well done

[iced-fang]

B-e-a-utiful!!!!!!!!!

[MamiyaOtaru]

Just tried a game of TDM. When I switched to blue, I was the demoguy
model is awesome. When on red I was on a team with a bunch of Egyptian bots. They all looked the same though. Do any of the bots have alternative clothing options or was I not looking hard enough?

That is a good idea, i will do that for the next version along with the fpv arms and some other new stuff.

@ MamiyaOtaru
The teamskins work fine for me! Maybe you had more then 11 custom char bots selected? Because there can only be 12 custom chars in a game.
All the bots have different setups, if you can see a difference between them you are really a bit blind!

[iced-fang]

hey davision u mind doing one more char for rodent faction like a fire bunn

[shak18]

For Davision

Mmm i dont know if i was the only one with this problem, i got the faction from RuneStorm of the 3 new chars they release, and the problem was, when i run my ut3 the Warlord Faction doesnt appear but i have two RuneStorm Factions close and open ut3 again and i was having 3 RuneStorm Factions , i only could put the Warlord Faction Manually and disable the faction line from Your ini and RuneStorm ini (and of course delete the excess of runestorms factions in my customchar.ini) , any idea why this thing happen?

iceFang

hey davision u mind doing one more char for rodent faction like a fire bunn

naa too much bunnys in the faction, a fire mouse will be better

[EvilEngine]

Heres what I have noticed, and Epic should do something about this because its f**king up the quality of other models. But the ch_alien model has a custom script for "UI_Scenes_CamuraiLayout" and that does screw with some things so I hope the judges know this before judging everyone with that installed. That could be one of the sources of your problems shak, so check for that.
Someone notify Epic of this, they seem to enjoy ignoring my requests :P

[Davision]

@ iced-fang
you mean the hell hound hare of invasion? I have no plans right now for a new rodents version, but if i should do it some time i will also include him.

@ shak18
That is strange, i will look into it. But have you also ch_alien installed like Evil Engine said?

@ EvilEngine
That really sucks! I will also look into that.

i have the same problem with the model of runestorm when i install 1 its oke but when install nummer too i have too override thing but i thit not do that and the model work good now all you can do is too go too the site of runestorm and tell them about the problem

[coolcat22]

@ Davision the model look like a rubber doll at a hoverboard model is great

[iced-fang]

Davision can i put it on hedsteem too? if so who do i give credit to?

[UnrealGrrl]

very nice work ... planning a Cleopatra version?

[Coreper]

i tried it:
-the shoulder pads seems way too heavy somehow: when you ride the hoverboard, you almost fall of it, i really dont like this...:

-the shoulder pads seems to be very loose: they almost fall of your character when you are riding the hoverboard...:

-it would be nice if you could add the possibility to remove all shouderpads, or only use two little ones [like you can only have 1 little now...]
-isnt facemask #13 the same as #14?

[Davision]

The Runestorm chars are not only messing up my char also any other custom faction that is installed after the runestorm char!! When you have the runestorm faction installed and want to install another custom char you will only get a 2nd Runestorm faction in the selection.


I have found a fix:
I believe its the runestorm zombie customchar.ini that is messing it up. In the faction line there is a simple + missing
\UTGame\Published\CookedPC\RuneStorm\CH_Cx_Zombie

To ensure that there is only one Runestorm faction i did also this

-Factions=(Faction="RuneStorm",FriendlyName="<Strings:UTGameUI.FactionData.RuneStorm_FriendlyName>",Description="<Strings:UTGameUI.FactionData.RuneStorm_Description>",PreviewImageMarkup="<Images:UI_RS_Faction.Textures.RSFaction>")
+Factions=(Faction="RuneStorm",FriendlyName="<Strings:UTGameUI.FactionData.RuneStorm_FriendlyName>",Description="<Strings:UTGameUI.FactionData.RuneStorm_Description>",PreviewImageMarkup="<Images:UI_RS_Faction.Textures.RSFaction>")

I have made that also in the other runestorm customchar inis.


I will contact the runestorm team and i hope they will put a fixed version up!
I will also try to contact epic and let them know about, if they should install the runestorm models first and then all other chars wont work there wont be much competition for runestorm anymore!
But i guess the guys at epic are smart enough to see that!


@ coolcat22
Its the same with the rodents faction. The custom physics result in a new weighting that is not perfect and also the custom bones get broken on the hoverboard, that makes the weighting even worse.

@ UnrealGrrl
No, no female, the male was allready enough work!

@ Coreper

-the shoulder pads seems way too heavy somehow: when you ride the hoverboard, you almost fall of it, i really dont like this...:
-the shoulder pads seems to be very loose: they almost fall of your character when you are riding the hoverboard...:

Me dont like it either! That is mostly related to the shoulderpad custom bones that get broken when driving the shoulder pad, like i said above it messes up the weighting. There is nothing i can do keeping the bones from being destroyed on the hoverboard.

-it would be nice if you could add the possibility to remove all shouderpads, or only use two little ones [like you can only have 1 little now...]

You can do that! The big shoulderpads are in the boots section. But the skeleton will stay the same, so you will still have the weighting problem on the hoverboard.

-isnt facemask #13 the same as #14?

Oops, yea there went something wrong... too many mask variations.

[DazJW]

The Runestorm chars are not only messing up my char also any other custom faction that is installed after the runestorm char!! When you have the runestorm faction installed and want to install another custom char you will only get a 2nd Runestorm faction in the selection.

I got that, so I just deleted the customchar.ini and reloaded the game and everything was fine.

[Kazimira]

If you want to do a female version Selket is not nearly as complicated as this. She'll be easy to make.

Wouldn't worry too much about it. If I was a judge I would delete the My games folder everytime I wanted to test a new character since your bound to run into compatability probs.

Speaking of compatibility I found it a good idea to delete UTCutomChar.ini everytime I install a new model. This fixes the Runestorm/Xeno problem along with some others.

Think it's because of this method everyone been using lately to make the models easier to install

[HideInLight]

K this model is awsome, lots of customization options. the shoulder pads seem to want to fall of sometime and get messed up after taunting too much.

One thing I don't like though is the voicepack, can't make out a word what he's saying...

[bn_avit]

Really loving this model it looks nice and it plays very well nd im glad to have him on my team :P

[iced-fang]

Look, i havent had any probs, except for the hoverboard thing, but its okay, cuz its funny. and you can have just the small shoulder pads, just hit "toggle shoulderpads."
- i have a pic i'll put it on my profile thing, cuz its not on a website and i dont feel like putting it on one.

I have over 3 dozen custom models installed and all do it this method(Davision's too) and no probs whatsoever.
Only time you run into problems is when your edit your UTCustomchar.ini and remove a line or edit it. Then it gets overwritten with redundent data and will cause conflicts. So its probably a good practice to run the character after installing it and then leaving the ini alone, unless you either delete the one in the *character name* folder where the master ini is or rename it.
