The power is back on!!!!

good to hear! i'm actually in NYC. thankfully still have my power & electricity, but i have a lot of friends & family that were hit pretty hard by Hurricane Sandy, trees uprooted, houses flooded, windows shattered, injuries, etc. the recovery process is likely to take days.. especially with the subway stations flooded.

if it completely disappears, shouldn't it load the fallback texture (masked original).

No. Fallbacks are supposed to be simpler materials that the game engine will load if the specified texture will not work because the material is too complex, for example if you have an older video card, or are using a really basic integrated graphics chip, or using OpenGL or Pixomatic rendering.

tried this shader with finalblend, & anytime i use finalblend on this hair texture, i get this problem,

which i can reduce by increasing the alpharef but it eventually reduces the quality of the texture.

I've had issues like this before, and some of the default UT2004 skins like Blackjack and Remus have similar problems. I'm just not sure what specifically you'll need to do in this case. The game engine just doesn't like do things the way we want them to turn out. You could try a combiner to add the specular, and then mask the final blend. Just keep trying different variations, and you should find something that works well enough. Make sure to set a basic fallback w/out specularity.

By the way, I like the flat textures on the catsuit just fine. I think it looks great.

so the wild goose has beaten you, huh? your quest is over? what if it's only beginning? your adversary will not give up so easily. he will not stop until he possesses the thing he desires. some of the most skilled extractors through history have understood only a fragment of the Serious Sam 3 Engine. i understand your doubt. you require skills. learn hex-editing, compile an extractor, and you will have your prize.

Well he would still release deadpool it would just mean he can't use a better model ok?

Forget about importing that, it's a wild goose chase. For Serious Sam HD and BFE, the files are intentionally encrypted by Croteam with their new 'credentials' system. Not even the SeriousEditor will let you export them to an importable format nor will it let you edit them at all, which is why player models for the recent Sams are pretty much lucky guesswork. You can get models into Sam, but you can't get them out.

......which means Deadpool will never see release!

[hunterman]

not sure have you tried 3dsmax maybe due to it being serious engine 3?

wow, these look great too...I love brunettes with short hair.

thanks! yeah, i definitely have a thing for brunettes with short hair! must be because of watching Teri Hatcher in 'Lois & Clark' as a kid.

problems with character skins that are just shaders

i'll definitely have to do some testing!

these skins looks promisin mate!

thanks for the comment! much appreciated!

Deadpool is priceless and Domino is freaking HOT for gothic. Keep it up!

Yeah, looking forward to the voicepack for Deadpool that HellDragon-HK will most likely put together.
For Domino, i imagine some existing female witty voicepack would work. else, someone would have to watch all of 'Wolverine & the X-Men' for soundbytes.

thanks hunterman! erm, how exactly do i load up this model? i tried noesis, crafty, & numerous other 3d programs. the .mdl format seems incompatible with previous SS importers & the .bmf (binary mesh file?) seems to be a finalized format that has yet to be reverse-engineered.

i really appreciate the enthusiasm & i'll prolly rush a release as soon as i get a voicepack from HellDragon-HK.
& here's updated Domino using spec mask for first time,

i might consider replacing the entire body mesh altogether though, & use one of Lara Croft's catsuits.

PS: I think you should something create VP of her to make great fit (or should use any female voices).

[Budboy]

yeah, I had problems with character skins that are just shaders

when the character got hit, his entire body became invisible, and only his head/helmet remained lol

[papasfritas]

wow, these look great too. Domino is totally sexy. I love brunettes with short hair. XD

Looks like your wip is SS 2? I love that game. Best thing I ever bought on Steam. Who could not love parrot grenades?

Where is the link for download ??The work is great.

thanks for the comment! glad you're looking forward to the download but they are still WIP.
besides, hunterman has yet to fulfill my request.

Plain shaders can do funny things when transparency is involved, including completely disappearing.
The hair will still probably work best with a Finalblend using that shader with Alphatest enabled.
The body texture doesn't need specularity...mods won't work...they add color overlays.

hmm, good advice. i'll have to do some more testing with the shader textures.
if it completely disappears, shouldn't it load the fallback texture (masked original).

actually, i'm not done editing the body texture, gonna get rid of that denim-looking texture
and make it a flat black & then rely on the spec for a latex-like effect.
of course, no model 'needs' spec, but i think this character would shine with proper use of the effect.
yeah, noticed with your joanna dark model, i might consider doing similar by releasing an extra shaderless upl file.

more Domino shader glory!
