we cant find the models nor the animations files (.elu and .ani files if I understood it correctly).
Thank you very much, helped us out a ton
Ah I see the confusion, so the mansion map placeholder is already done so we're currently not "wasting" our time working on the map and making it look good before the actual game is in a playable state, if that's what you're concerned about. We still do test some stuff on cube maps when we want an isolated environment.
Also we will have updated models and textures for two reasons, the first one being that updating the graphics is a big appeal when marketing the game and trying to bring in more people to the GunZ community (and oldschool GunZ fans would probably also like seeing the game updated with current age graphics). And the second one is that it might get us in trouble for legal reasons if we were to use straight rips from the original game. However we do want to try and keep the original games style when designing the looks.
Hello, we are a group of people in our final year of our university masters course in Game Design and for our final project we've decided to remake GunZ within the Ue4 engine. (Full thread can be foundYou must be registered to see linksif people are interested in our development)
We're currently in the process of recreating the animations of the original game and since the game has a very heavy focus on animation canceling etc we would like to make them as similar in length (frame wise) to the original as we possibly can. Basically we're looking for the frame data, we got a hold of the MCV (Maiet Character Viewer) but we cant find the models nor the animations files (.elu and .ani files if I understood it correctly). If anyone could point us in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated, we would really like to get a hold of the files but any form of documenting regarding the animations (Or other parts of the game for future purposes) could be potentially useful to have.
Hi, I'm not saying you're wrong/lying or anything but could you source this info? As we've stated both here and on reddit we don't have all the knowledge about copyright yet and if you have some solid info we could go after that would be great but we would need an official source that could be pointed to.I will just throw some information out here from when I was working on my clone.
Calling it "GunZ: The Third Duel" would actually be a legal name you can use.
The Game Mechanics are in no way protected.
You can actually re-use up to 49% of the original leaked source code, but no more than 20% can be an exact copy, the rest needs to have slight alterations.
You can not re-use map layouts, models, images, (or meshes).
The interface is not protected, apart from images.
Clones of models must have several slight differences that make up 51% of the model, such as sizing ( can not copy proportions) and vector counts, it can however look the same.
Maps follow the same guidelines as cloned models, with the addition of a somewhat major change follow by slight changes to each portion of the map, such as replacing the stairway in mansion then removing a bookshelf in the library, changing lighting, etc... the map can resemble up to 70% of the original map.
Edit: Making flat objects / meshes on walls into actual items, does count as slight alterations.
We've gotten suggestions from several different fans to use different engines or software for various reasons however we will stay with Unreal Engine 4 (Mostly because almost all our programming experience is this engine and our university "only" gives us roughly a 1 year deadline) and build our game up from scratch.If you want to remake GunZ I suggest you do it with the same source of the game, just try to change the graphic engine of realspace 2.0 for a new one and you will see that many will play it, but if it does gunz from scratch it will be a failure just like Gunz2 since many will stop playing because you can not do much k-style.
remember that the essence of the game are the skills of k-style, that gives life.
If you need or some kind of advice you write me.
I've been playing this game for over 12 years.
