Hi all. I am a director of and a gm on a small but steadily growing server. The owner is a friend and he mostly deals with the code side of things since i have limited knowledge in that area. So while reading my inquiries please be aware of that fact.
I am familiar with how to use blender and edit gamefiles, use of rody angelica editor and pwadmin, putty is no issue for me. I also just recently created a custom patcher for the server. So i can deal with texturing the model without much issue. The questions i have are following:
Is it possible to use newer versions of blender to create custom models as ski files. Is there a plug in that would enable that and is one even necessary? I know that there used to be a plugin for an old old version of blender but i tried installing all of that and it simply doesn't work for me.
I scoured the ragezone community and nothing i found was actually able to tell me what i need. Server is 1.4.6 version and we have a patcher that is able to inject files directly into the system without having to unpack the surfaces. Pck. However, i already have tools and i have unpacked the surfaces file and am planning to make some custom chromas for players and certain weapons.
Also, i believe that even if i made a model it would have no sfx but honestly that is a hurdle i am willing to seek guidance for at a later date at this moment. I believe i saw somewhere u have to use hex editor for those and all ones i download are filled with malwares and viruses. I also know that position of the weapons has to be done through hex editing. That is however the extent of my knowledge.
If you know anything at all that might be helpful, that is currently available for use please share. If you have any guides please post them.
My goal for this post is for people to be able to come here to gather some good advice and steps they need to take to make their own custom assets to be able to come here and find some good info. Thank you for reading, and if you have info that you are sharing with me and everyone else, thank you for sharing.
