Battlefront III Legacy [? - Apr, 28th, 2017]

[GeneralGrievous]

Imagine this with the battlefront evolved mod.... BATTLEFRONT 3 CONFIRMED

[THEWULFMAN]

Won't say anything about THEWULFMAN because he seems to somehow be conjured every time someone mentions his TCW mod

Hidden/Spoiler:

I will have to consider using some of this stuff for Evolved 2.0 though

Han Solo returns!

Here's a quick update. Yesterday I told you I begun working on Hero Assault and here we are: Han Solo with his DL44.
So far he's not 100% done. But regarding custom weapons everything is where it belongs to be.

He carries his DL-44. This weapon can fire simple bullets and chargeable ones, like in the new Battlefront.
I also managed to get a realistic scope lense effect working on his gun. Here's a screenshot I am talking about:

And here is a short gameplay video of him and his new weapon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-A00ASsLbs

This new converted Han Solo looks much better than the old one. Maybe you need to play a bit around with the normal scale and specular map. Because he looks a bit plastic. This scope mirror effect is AWESOME!! how did you made this?? I'd like to add it to the other weapons, too.

Can we make the fully charged bullet go through the light sabre defence??

[thelegend]

@Anakin:
1. Thanks. Yeah the old one had no Specular applied. I edited the Spec. Decay a little bit and it looks more different now.

2. It's a miracle! Thanks to the wonderful Rendertype 22 and 6
It was actually pretty easy and I was happy it worked with the first attempt. I created two half-spheres. The front one uses Rendertype 22 (Ice Refraction), a transparent texture and the model has about 800 tris. The background mesh is black but uses an evnvironment map. I am not sure if it can be seen but I believe changing some values here and there will give this a much better effect.

3. Lightsaber blocking is something's hard-coded. Nothing can go through it. But the bullet, when it's fully charged, leaves an explosion which takes 45% of a jedi's HP.

Very nice, thelegend! A few things:

• His shirt should have very little or no specular at all
• His skin's specular should be toned down quite a bit
• His vest should have very little or no specular at all (unless it's leather)

[Teancum]

I love that this is a thing. I hope someday we see the Dark Trooper in there, too. I think he'd be a BEAST in Hero Assault. I wish I could help. I'm swamped with Jedi Academy mods at the moment. Maybe I'll mess around with the meshes later on to see if we can salvage some other maps via their collision files.

[Anakin]

help is always welcome

i promised you to show you pictures of the shotgun:

and here comes the magna guard. Maybe i'll add some glow to the eyes

spec and normal already work:

But for some reason the foots look weird. No idea why.

[Isaac1138]

This has such superior graphics than the original BF2 graphics, it doesn't even look like BF2. Hence its call BF3.

I see. I increased the Spec. Decay and toned down the already dark color (dark gray) a little bit. Looks better now, thanks.


Who's as awesome as Han Solo and soon will be available in the new Battlefront? Guess who:

Hidden/Spoiler:

His cape works fine. However the collisions are completely beign ignored by the game. Maybe, when the model is completely finished, someone needs to reexport him with working collisions (Already prepared scene then).

What do you think about him?

[giftheck]

I don't trust him

Joking aside, the model looks great. What are you thinking of arming him with?

[Marth8880]

@thelegend: Would you mind posting a screenshot or two of the updated Han model in-game?

I don't trust him

Who? The "Lando System"?

[thelegend]

I don't trust him

Lando: "I had no choice. They arrived right before you did. I'm sorry"

@thelegend: Would you mind posting a screenshot or two of the updated Han model in-game?

Sure. I think there's some kind of a change.

[Marth8880]

That looks a LOT better! Keep up the great work!

[thelegend]

That looks a LOT better! Keep up the great work!

Thanks a lot!

I think he will carry a modified rebel blaster and will also have some additional things. So far I am not sure about that. When searching for more information regarding his weapons there aren't enough information at all. Maybe DICE will give us some inspiration when they probably soon reveal Bespin+their new heroes.

[giftheck]

The only weapon I've ever seen him use on screen was an E-11. Certain promotional pictures show him with a DH-17.

[Kingpin]

Wow, this is great stuff! The Han is looking a lot better with the specular toned down. Great work guys!

[Anakin]

Who's as awesome as Han Solo and soon will be available in the new Battlefront? Guess who:

let me think about that:
A tall, black colored guy with cape??
Darth Vader!!!!

I see that the localization bug still prevents is ugly face! I have noticed this with quite a few released maps but I am unsure why the pictures of the weapon being used is far to the right of where it should be, could you maybe explain why it does this?

[TWINKEYRUNAWAY]

In the pre alpha videos lando uses a shot gun.
