New Guy... - xdark68soul - 05-12-2012

Hey everyone! I'm new in this, so I have a lot of doubts... and I'm sorry If it were here before uwu~ Also, I'm sorry for my english... I'm Chilean, so my native language is spanish D:

The thing is I'm making a custom story for a chilean gamer called Xoda. I hope you can help me...

1. Can anybody help me doing a new model of this character?

2. Do you know how to edit the final credits? u know, the typical credits when the story ends...
3. I wanna put an image when the player changes the level, how can I do that?

Thanks u Big Grin

Welcome to the forum! Smile

1. Can't help you with that but some modeller might Smile

2. Use
StartCredits(string& asMusic, bool abLoopMusic, string& asTextCat, string& asTextEntry, int alEndNum);

3. I can't remember if you're able to change the images if it's a CS I know that a FC can but I can't remember if a CS can do that

3.If you mean loadingscreens then its possible without fullconversion.My custom story Dark Past(WIP)has loadingscreens and it wont be a FC.Use this: SetupLoadScreen(string&asTextCat, string&asTextEntry, int alRandomNum, string&asImageFile);

Determines which loading screen will be shown when changing maps.
asTextCat - the category of the loading text in the .lang file to be
shown on the loading screen
asTextEntry - the entry in the .lang
file
alRandomNum - if greater 1, then it will randomize between 1
and alRandom for each LoadScreen giving entry the suffix XX (eg 01). If < =1
then no suffix is added
asImageFile - the image to be shown
(optional)

Thanks you Big Grin Oh, I mean... when I'm on level 1, then I'm go to level 2... and there's a charging screen. I don't know if "Lost the lights" is a CS or a FC, but when the player changes the level... there's an image like this...

Whatever, what is the difference between a FC and a CS? D: Editing a full conversion is harder than editing a custom story? Thanks you again Big Grin

EDIT: Thanks you Datguy5 >w< that's is exactly what I wanted Big Grin

a FC changes the feats of the game. lanterntype, sanity, health, jump etcetcetcetc. it also allows you to make a start menu for your story. lots of other things are also avalible for doing when making a FC, but i wont post it seeing as it would be a TL DR situation.

id recommend using Autodesk Maya 2011 or Autodesk 3dsMax 2012 for modeling. maybe im not updated on the matter, but lately blender has had errors and issues with importing to amnesia; so to make life a whole lot easier you can try either maya or 3ds max.

EDIT: nope, blender works fine with importing nowadays. id recommend, though, using autodesk maya or 3dsmax.

if youre gonna use em, make sure to install collada for them too Tongue

RE: New Guy... - xdark68soul - 05-12-2012

I tried to use 3ds max but I couldn't D: oh... i'll try to use Maya Tongue where can I read some tutorials? could you help me a bit during the modelling?
