Re: Hoverboard?
 

I'd be happy to beta test it on a few maps, see if there are any problems when hitting a wall, which there might be. If you want me to beta test I'll pm you my email for you to send the pk3

still trying to make a glow map, but its not working :/
any ideas how to make one?

Re: Hoverboard?
 

I prefer mine without glow anywhoo. I could gladly make a glow map though if it's needed. It'd be a piece of cake for me. Flat black background with only the glow showing right?

I also totally dig the new stance, atleast with duals. It might look silly with a single though..

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Just make everything black except the parts you want to have glowing. (look at post 43)

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Hmm, not sure about the water paper filter on the metal, but the rest looks good.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

i think ill re-do it with the same idea ofc.

Well here is my attept at making a gungrave hoverboard. As you can probably tell I dont have photoshop and Im not very good with gimp. Yes I do want white lines on it, I think they look cool.

P.S. If Inyri still needs beta testers, Im willing to help.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

i knew i forgot something :p

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Normally I'd take anything, but that one I'm going to decline, as you can still see the words "top" and "bottom" on it. :/

Updated video, included all the newest hoverboards (though some of them, by random chance, didn't get a chance to spawn). I have changed the sounds, as you might notice. And ignore my awful playing of this level. I sucked at it to begin with, and now that I'm using a touchpad I'm a lost cause. :p

Re: Hoverboard?
 

well its pritty hard to see what bords are what sence the quality gets lowered on photobucket could we get a pic of all the boards down a row please

Re: Hoverboard?
 

It looks very good Inyri, but there's just one thing that's bothering me; there're no engines on the model. Maybe you could add two cylinders to the bottom back of the model, and then put a small blue flam jet on them?

Re: Hoverboard?

At least for my hoverboards, the pads on the bottom are what propel it. After all, it's a hoverboard, not a hoverrocket.

Naturally I forgot Shady-D's, but I already posted a screenshot of that.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Be prepared for floods of spam PM from noobs Inryi asking you to do variants like the BTTF2 hoverborads and most likely silver surfers board.

Anyway, this is a very promising looking mod. Hope to download it soon.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

This is looking so great, inyri have a cookie. I agree that it would be cool to make the boards in a sort of DoC style but still, your choice and it looks gr8 anyway. Nice Job!

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Too late for posting my skin?

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Nice work on the hoverboard, Love it.
It looks good jonhpp although i dont really like the mixture of lightning and fire. I might whip up something in photoshop.

Edit: Meh..I tried, lol

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Actully, I like the look of that one, better than mine.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

lol ty, i had trouble selecting them i had to rub out all the bits around the edges xD
I might change the lens flare, looks a bit odd lol

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Same thing with me, I had to rub out other peoples pattern and try and keep it smooth round the edges.

The result: Kinda blurry round the edges.


Edit: I am using PaintShop Pro X but I am not that good at it.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

I used photoshop, I'm starting to get ok at it. I'm no pro but i know how to use it.

is this the right glow stuff?

Re: Hoverboard?

Glowmap? =)

btw Inyri, im really liking the orange one you made!

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Is it possible to to have it "warp" the air underneath it? Like on a really hot day, you can look out to the horizon and see everything shimmer? I dont know if it would work, but it would give a nice touch to the base of the hoverboard, give it the feeling that its actually running. But again, this might be breaking the rules of JK3 physics...

Its looking great, by the way.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Well I decided to get off my ass and make a glowmap. My vid-card doesn't support dynamic glow, only dynamic lights so I won't be able to see it BUT, it looked so good ingame that I thought I'd make it for everyone else. Thanks for using it!

Re: Hoverboard?
 

That'll look good, I'm sure. I'll show you how it looks when I get home. I'm between classes right now and don't have my disc.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Well here's mine. It's not very good, but I hope you like it :p. (PS: if you want I can pm you the .psd version Inryi) http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...overboard5.jpg

Re: Hoverboard?
 

FYI Ryo, this is what your board looks like with the glow.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...d/ryothorn.jpg

Rather sexy, I think.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

i thaugh this up last knight but due to some forum mationance i couldnt post it. its a simple enough desighn but i think it could make a cool hover board

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Quite sexy indeed, thanks for showing me that. I can't wait to use it glow or no glow. The edge didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to, but I'll leave it be, it looks good enough.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

I think if you spent a little more time on it and made it less sloppy/random, it would look a lot better.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Amazing how something so simple can become quite popular. So popular indeed, that I have also thrown together a skin for one of these. It can probably use a little work, and as such, it will recieve some. But for the time being, this is what I have.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Im surprised you didnt do marvel skins such as a spiderman hoverboard

Since when did Spiderman have a hoverboard anyway?!

Well, here are my two designs. Hoverblack.jpg should use hoverblack.jpg as a glow, hovertomato should use hovertomglow, and both use hoverenv as an environment shader.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

You know, it really bothers me when people put less than 5 mins worth of effort into a skin.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Hmm, try doing that in less than five minutes... Yes I know it's not very detailed, but that's just the design.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

I put 5 minutes 10 seconds in to mine. But anyway, would it be too much trouble if I decided to re-submit my skin? I'm thinking of taking the tribal band off the edge.. if you like it I'll leave it, but it's bugging me.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Go ahead - it's no big deal. I would recommend removing the "bevel" from the top too, though, while you're at it.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

First off sorry for the double post, I aparently went over half an hour to edit the first one. I updated it in a few really small ways. It looks alot less pretty as a skin now, but it should look better on the model since that's what's important.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Yeah, it makes it look too rounded for my tastes, like a gigantic hover-pillow. Always hard to test things without knowing how it'll look in the long run. That's why your screenies are a life saber. I mean saver.

Out of edit time:


It's a simple design, but it looks good for a hoverboard I think.

Let me know if you decide to use it :D

Would it be ok for me to make a skin? I don't own the game, but I've read the thread and I'm interested in contributing

Re: Hoverboard?
 

I don't see any reason why not having the game would stop you from contributing.

'specially not with a slick design like that. I like it.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

If its possible, could I see a pic of what mine looks like in game? I want to see if the lights on the side are where I would like them to be...

Re: Hoverboard?
 

I'll almost guarantee they aren't. Catch me on Yahoo and I'll send you the whole PK3. That way you can "reskin" that part as you want it to look without having to go through me, then you can just send me the corrected textures.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

what a great simple nice thing this hoverboard is. might be perfect for winter jedi games, i might have not spend more than 5min on my skin, but i would like to reskin afterwards anyway:

Re: Hoverboard?
 

nice i like the concept too bad the closest think i know to a half pie/winter cose in JA is the hill in blueice twilight :p

Re: Hoverboard?
 

FYI, I should mention that anyone who wants to beta test needs to contact me on MSN or AIM. I won't send the PK3 any other way. Also if you hardly ever post here and I've never seen you before, you may not want to bother asking.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Okay so, found a few 'glitches' so far. But they may be related to the fact I was using them in MP, which I'll get to in a minute. So first off, the new animations don't work, atleast in MP which has the rather funny result of stradling the hoverboard about three feet above it and floating along atop it. The second issue is that when I loaded t2_trip, the 'default' hoverboard that spawned had no skin on it what so ever. Though I do realize this wasn't designed for MP in the first place, atleast to the best of my knowlege. So that brings me to my third problem which I'm going to have to resolve for myself. Vehicle extentions too big! So I can't load it in SP as of yet, the only other vehicle mod I have is Midgar_V3, so I need to yank that out, I was way too tired last night to deal with that. HOWEVER, everything else works pretty good, the way the board moves, the skins, all of it looks pretty damn good.

Re: Hoverboard?
 

The reason you see no texture in MP is beacuse MP uses swoop_mp instead of swoop. (Assuming you're talking about the board replacing swoops)

Re: Hoverboard?
 

Yeah, I figured that much. But it'd be nice to have MP support ne? I can see it now, a server with hoverboard races, it'd be awesome. *coughs* Just saying though.
