Lance Elite - FINAL NOW AVAILABLE

[Kantham]

I only masked the parts, it's a tricky trick in this case here, as Dom does have extra part all over his armor that can be masked using a different material method. For instance, if I'd want to remove his arm armor it wouldn't work, there's no polygon underneath that surface. It did work with the shoulders and some other parts though.

I used Photoshop to create the alpha mask and re-work the diffuse/emissive skin.

[Kantham]

I did those changes because I felt like the characters were getting bland. With Carmine, Baird and Kim sharing the same armor I figured I'd give it a twist.

[kalleoskar]

[Kantham]

Alright, I'll be uploading Pre-Final tonight. Just make sure this version is very close to Final, I just want to make sure everything is working fine.

There will be 3 maps in the FINAL pack plus the other older maps in another.

-Construct (NEW)
-Redalert
-Ravendar

There are new options in the custom game:

-Powerups now pickups items
-No HUD (Hardcore)
-No Weap (Like Supreme)

Each challenge now has "Hardcore" as an option. Makes perfect for practicing reload timing. Here's the new main screen with the logo I just finished.



First mod logo ever.

[neolancer07]

is there still custom mode?

[Kantham]

Yes. I took that screen cap from Photoshop, hence why you don't see the "customize" button bottom-right.

Here's the new Ability screen.

love the look on Baird BTW, i've recently been browsing these forums over the past week because i'm currently working on a project, just getting it down on paper, but going to create a good MP map in my spare time, all the work you've done i've been very impressed with.

[Kantham]

Thanks everyone.
Pre-Final is now ready and available for download. For the changelist, please refer to the first post.

Download Lance Elite Pre-Final - Filefront

What I'm looking for: Bugs! If you see them, post them!


I have no promises for what follows, but I'm currently working on a way to introduce a map selection platform, which will give players the ability to load maps from one map interface. All the players would need to do is overwrite the file when new maps are added (And I really insist on overwriting!!) and load that map everytime they want to comit map change.

[Kantham]

As I've mentioned yesterday, I was working on a possible main menu. It's still really WIP but I got the basic ideas up, as well as the main frame.



If you're wondering why the lighting is so good, it's because that it is dynamic. So anyone with that functionality disabled will only see the background fog and fire.

[theron]

Wow! Your main menu looks great. At first I thought that you imported some new meshes from other games, but now I see these are gears meshes... Nice composition.

btw... needs more anti-aliasing

[Kantham]

Thanks. The main menu is indeed part of the game right now, right now I'm tweaking a few things and the mod should be set.

ALSO: Loading screens people. No more "It looks like nothing is happening" screens.

Here's how the main menu's like now:



My WIP shots are right from the editor, so that is why there isn't any AA. With the tiled shot command, it's another story though.

[Kantham]

Thanks to everyone who helped the mod with feedback and suggestions, I've uploaded final to Moddb. Everything should be up in the next 4-5 hours or so.

[theron]

Good news because I almost finished my new map. Just a preview screen... I can't wait to play your lovely mod on my map

[shooter19]

Hey theron your map is looking nice man

[Pandut]

Hey Katham, I finally got my hands of GoW for the PC. And first thing I did was download Lance. I have followed installation instructions word to word, however when i type in 'open lance' into the console, the game crashes and I get an unknown error.

[JUGGERNUT]

You have the latest patch right?

Your computers clock is set at the right time, right?

You're sure you've downloaded them to the correct area and unzipped those files and placed any of those files to the right place, right?

Those are the three things that get most people, hope it works out for you.

[Pandut]

Oh, I forgot to get the latest patch. But unfortunately when I installed the latest patch, I got the dreaded startup.exe error...

''To start Gears of war, please double-click startup.exe''
