[Random Releases] Shuma's Wargear Room(Ranked compatible Mods!)

[Shuma]

Yeah so turns out i forgot to include 1, that's right, 1 measly texture among the dozens of textures the Terminator Chaplain uses in the .sga and that's what's giving the pink texture error on his head, i'll upload the texture along with his storm bolter without the huge skull later today.

Edit:

Might as well do it right now:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ljckj4...ture%26gun.zip

The storm_bolter_chaplain folder is the same as the one in the .sga file for the chaplain i had uploaded already but it has a new model, the new model's name should be self explanatory is the same storm bolter but without the skull. And the terminator_chaplain folder has the missing texture, it goes on race_marine\troops_wargear\heads

Have fun.

[Tyron]

Hey shuma still nothing on why my game wont load the helmets, any help??

[Shuma]

Well i don't think it makes any difference but i start the game by using Chaos Rising on Steam, and like i said the module is fine and i assume the files are GameAssets/Archives so the instalation and everything is fine, so the only possible reason i can think off is that you have some other mod installed that's causing a compatibility issue.

[Tyron]

thanks, i'll try all I can. if not I'll reinstall dow2/Cr and see if anything else happens

Hi Shuma

Are you planning on eventually doing Mk4 & Mk6 Helmets?

I've got to say the quality and speed of these brilliant little nuggets of joy you've been releasing are mega impressive!!

[Spekta]

Shuma, Post #210:

(...) i'll make all the different mark helmets(minus mark 1, unless someone really really wants it) (...)

This should answer your question

[Ultramarine]

Thanks for uploading the missing texture, now i can fully enjoy the chaplain.
The mk5 helmet looks amazing, keep it up.
I'm really looking forward to see even more super cool helmets.

[Shuma]

Yet another fix for a Chaplain file, this one fixes a buggy animation issue with that particular model, just replace the original file. Also, i think tomorrow i will start working on the helmets again, first by fixing the previous ones and then by making the new ones.

[gambit51]

please shuma more fc helmets thanks

[SargeX]

The MK5 Helmet looks pretty impressive. Just wondering if you are planning on working on any techmarine helmets any time soon.

Suggestion

This is just a thought of course.

[Chronoid]

Hey Shuma!
great models, really
But I was tinking....
"I dont like Ravener alfa commander.
And that's because he just looks like a standart ravener
if there was some way to make him look different, maybe like a small Trigon Prime or something..."
and then I thought:
"If someone can do it that's Shuma!"
so... what you think?
even if it was only for mods....

Yeah, I know you said that are saving nids for last but....
That's just too much waitng

[Shuma]

What you ask is impossible actually, it would just change all Raveners.

@SargeX:

The Apoth and the Techmarine will also get helmets in the future, but not anytime soon. Maybe and it's a big maybe, by the end of November i could start with the Apoth and Techmarine but i doubt it.

[DeusImperator]

Do you have any plans for Dreadnoughts, Predators or Razorbacks?

[Chronoid]

Impossible?
Are you sure?
you know raveners and ravener alfa unlock Rank wargear at different levels so I think they could be two exactly same-looking but separated models
But if you say it cant be......

[trintong]

In this current time, it can't.

In future, there is only wars........... wait.... WHAT ?!

See this !

[Tyron]

Finally got it working great work shuma you are a beast man ,
Also tyrannid campaign that'll be wierd :L

[Thorno]

@ Chronoid The Lictor Hero and Lictor Alpha must share the same common, rare and epic armour. I see no Tyranid accessories in there wargear folder. They just get the same models at different times.

[Spekta]

It is true that they get their wargear on different Ranks, but that is
But they shill share the same models:



You could change this in the ebps files, but the Mod wouldn't be online compatible any more.

[Shuma]

@Deus:

Dreadnoughts yes, definitively. Predator's and Razorback, not sure, i haven't really thought about it but either way they would get minimal stuff.

And Thorno is correct, the only way to make them different would be through editing the RBFs and A) I'm no coder and B) it would break online compatibility.

Anyway, i'm officially back in bussiness i just got back from Fable III and New Vegas.

[Shuma]

Fixed Black Templar helmet:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/2w3999.../BTVHelmet.sga

I double checked, this fixes the dissapearing head for the Black Templar helmet with the Jump Pack, it's 12 am here so i'll go to sleep and fix the rest tomorrow and probably make the Iron Hands helmet tomorrow too.

[LokenIstvanIV]

Awesome, Can't wait!

Cheers
Loken

[Shuma]

Ok, here's the fixed helmets for the FC:

Blood Angels:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/5fqf54.../BAVHelmet.sga

Ultramarines:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ua3x74.../UMVHelmet.sga

Dark Angels:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/6usx19.../DAVHelmet.sga

Mark 8:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/t5o3bv.../MK8Helmet.sga

Iron Krakens:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/kdhepw.../IKVHelmet.sga

Now with that fixed, i'll make the Iron Hands helmet.

[Cozmo]

you are a fucking hero mate, love this work.

[Cozmo]

got any plans for more love for the other races?

[LokenIstvanIV]

Straight up AWESOME!!!! C'mon Iron Hands helmet!!!!! And anything else you want to do. I'm not greedy, "whipslash" just keep working, no RL for you!!!!! LOL "You are a God Among Insects, don't let anyone tell you different!" - Magneto

Cheers

[OneProduct]

Oh, just noticed that Iron Krakens is a chapter you made up, not a real one. Was setting up all your custom helmets on a space marine that would change chapter colors as you switched helmets then noticed there wasn't an entry for Iron Krakens, Googled it and found your thread about making them up. Go in game and tell me what the four chapter colors are so I can your chapter to the built-in list and have the space marine switch to it. XD

[Shuma]

@Cozmo:

Yeah, i'll finish the FC helmets, then i'll go make something really special(secret hush hush stuff), then when i get back i'll either make the elite versions of the FC helmets, or helmets for the Chaos Lord, or Dire Avengers for the Eldar.

@OneProduct:

Awesome, the Iron Krakens use the primary color scheme and their colours are Beetle Black, Skull White, Arterial Spray and Celestian Lions Gold. I'm using Hangar's mod thought so i'm not sure if this are CR Pre Order colors he unlocked or are colors he added, if they don't exist outside his mod then it could be Iron, Skull White, Blood Red and any Gold.

Anyway, here's a tiny preview for the Iron Hand's Helmet:



Model is still wip and the texture of the mark 5 helmet will be changed a bit too.

[Salamandres99]

Nice
You can do the same for the techmarine?

[DeusImperator]

Thanks for the information. As the owner of 2 painted and 4 unpainted dreadnoughts, I have an interest

Would it be please possible to make the Helmets pack for modders, so that in mods individual marines could be given the new helmets?

[OneProduct]

Would it be please possible to make the Helmets pack for modders, so that in mods individual marines could be given the new helmets?

All the files he's uploaded have the helmets available as separate models already.



@Shuma
Imported the colors from Hangar-8's mod. You'll need to make a badge for the Iron Krakens though. I read your thread about Iron Krakens but if you had to pick what sets them apart from other chapters in terms of DOW2 gameplay, what would you do?

I almost feel like making a new mod, something like "The Great Crusade" and each player represents a different space marine chapter with their hero being the veteran. Each player would then control an army (tacs/asms/devs/terms/etc) that they would build, drop and/or deep strike and each chapter does whatever they do best, ideally needing each other's help to attack and/or defend some sort of fortress type thing... Hmmm... ideas ideas...

[LokenIstvanIV]

Great Job on the Video OneProduct it really looks cool to see each helmet like that. Your making Shuma look good, not that he needs any help, his models speak for themselves. lol

That mod idea sounds really interesting, I know I'd play something like that.

Cheers
Loken

[Shuma]

Sure i'll make a badge, as for the gameplay well, Iron Krakens would rely more on the high tech of the Imperium instead of their rudimentary equipment as in they would use more Plasma Weapons, Las weapons, Teleporter packs and Iron Halos. For example melee troops would use Teleporters to close in the gap instead of jump packs, Terminators would all use Iron Halos, Devastators wouldn't have access to HBs instead they would only use Lascanons and Plasma cannons, Predators would only use Lascanons, they wouldn't have access to Razorbacks and Dreadnoughts would come outfitted with ranged weapons only, assault cannons and multi meltas, stuff like that.

Anyway, the model for the Iron Hand's helmet is done:



Added the Armor and Backpack just so you could see where the cable in the back goes to.

[Bastonne1]

Hey Shuma, the fixed helmets work! YES!!

A question: Do you have to have the SM packs to get the profile pics with helmets? Or is there another way to get them?

[EvilPie]

Hey Shuma do you have any plans to make a red and white stripped helmet like the imperial fists veteran Sgt

[EvilPie]

Hey Shuma do you plan on making a red and white stripped helmet like the imperial fists veteran sgts

[DeusImperator]

What are the Iron Krakens? They are not on Lexicanum.

[Azariah]

i cant remember about them...only thing i know is...that the iron krakens was years ago in the rogue trader or?
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_v-QnkPLGATg/S1...marines_rt.jpg

there u can see 2 iron krakens.

[Salamandres99]

Hum Shuma, after I've download the 2.5 patch, I can't see your mods and the others (lv60 mods etc.)
I've return to the normal appearance...
What can I do? Someone have the same problem?

[Azariah]

damn...i would take a look for that issue salamander but im not at home...but it should still work after that patch...or u must edit the module file again maybe?

[Salamandres99]

I've already reedit the DowII.module file
Same problem...

[Chronoid]

@Shuma:

Ok, ok.
You didnt quite understand my intentions
I know that changes on LictorA or RavenerA would crash online
I was tinking on something "only for mods" just as your awesome Mad Dok
Would that be possible?

[trintong]

I will try moving every mods file to "Mods" folder and see what happen.

If it not show up, Shuma will have a lot of work to do.


Edit:

mods in "Mods" folder work well but you can't control what mod load first.

[Tyron]

where is the mod's folder? is it the mod samples folder?

[h0r1a]

You should have another Mods folder next to the ModSamples one.

[Tyron]

reply, i dont ill just make one

[EvilPie]

Come back Shuma I need this new helmet lol

[Shuma]

Had some Internet problems but the Iron Hand's helmet is done and i already started working on the Space Wolves helmet, anyway.

@Bastonne1:

Yeah they're only there, but most of them are ugly anyway.

@EvilPie:

No not really, in fact i don't even plan to make the Imperial Fists since they don't really have any interesting aesthetic qualities, but we'll see how things go on, i don't really have planned the team colors for this helmets i just make them up when i get to them, well except for the Blood Angels and Black Templars, but that's because those guys have tons of background and following and thus hundreds of thousands of diferent artworks and miniatures floating around.

@Deus and Azariah:

The Iron Krakens are my chapter.

@Salamander:

If you already re edited the module file then i don't know what the problem is, i just added the Iron Hand's helmet for testing and as you can see below it works perfectly fine, make sure that you're not running any other mods that change the unit you're trying to change with my mod since it could have a compatibility issue, for example if you're trying to use a helmet for the Force Commander make sure that you don't have other mods that change him.

@Chronoid:

Well when i get to Tyranids and re-do their wargear a modder could easily make it so that the Ravener Alpha looks epic with his rank 60 armor and normal Raverner's do not.

Anyway, now that i made this helmet everything works fine except that if i try to start a skirmish i get an error, now i don't know if this is some random thing or it has to do with my stuff so if someone has that problem too report it, because if Relic has in someway made it so that we cannot edit the module file, well, first than all i would feel proud of having called their attention to the modding community(i think my mod and other's like mine are the only ones which changes the DoW2.module) and i might have to seek other modding opportunities, like... Starcraft 2.

Nah just kidding, can't get rid of me that easily, but i do have several ideas for non-online compatible mods. Anyway, without further ado here's the Iron Hand's helmet:


Iron Hand's Veteran Helmet:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ead5wi.../IHVHelmet.sga

Team Color info:

Spoiler

A little note for modders, this file includes as a separate model the enhanced optics apparatus contraption thing, while this model "fits" other of my helmets it will have some glitches because it was modeled to fit the Mark 5 helmet, so it fits that one perfectly, still i like giving choices, additionally you'll notice that in the folder it has several additional textures named with colors, purple, blue, cyan, green, yellow and orange iirc, if you simply rename this texture files to _dif like the default one it will change the color of the eyes to whichever color you choose, the default one being red obviously. It probably wont be useful in anyway but eh, what the heck, i've always said it's good to have as many choices as possible.

Anyway, enjoy and remember to report if you have issues starting a skirmish/private game or any other problems you have. Space Wolves are next, then Pure Helmet and Ancient Hero helmet.

[SargeX]

This helmet kicks major ass man, outstanding work.

[EvilPie]

Thanks for the new helmet Shuma it rocks

[Shuma]

Santos is back.

And he came with gifts:

Next version will contain two major features. Feature number one is animation export! Yes I've done it, yes it works. Screenshot or it didn't happen? Here you go:
---
I can't tell at this point when exactly this will be released, as I still have very long TODO list. I will probably release a beta at some point (when most obvious bugs are fixed that means ) so keep an eye on this thread.

So what does this mean for us? Well first than all it means i now have even more work to do because i'm now free to make models for any and all races, secondly it means i get an opportunity to learn how to animate and that's the thing, those that have been following my progress since the beginning know that i'm new to all this, what you see here is all i've done in terms of modeling and texturing, i don't have any previous experience at all, so i also do not know how to animate things since i've never animated anything in my life, now i think i understand how animations works so i think learning is like modeling just a matter of practice, so i will definitively try to learn.

In the short term all this means nothing, i still have to finish the helmets for the FC, then do a special something and then return to make more stuff, mid terms it means i can models for new units(if i want to...) and someone else can animate them, or depending on how exactly animations work i could for example give the FC a permanent cape, and in the long term it means i can do whatever i want, which means "expect Necrons, lots of them"

And in other news, i think i'll finish the Space Wolves helmet today.
