pbbbt, our site's embed technology is so bad-ass it will even "invent" a player if you just post a url to the proper file type. I didn't know it would go that far. I fixed the player style. It was inheriting a little bit from other elements.

For anybody that may not understand what happened in talisa's post, all she did was post a link directly to an .mp4. No special code or anything, literally just the url.

@Talisa: Thank you, that's very kind and of course I would give you credit for anything I would use. You put the work in so should absolutely get some recognition for it   :-)

I'm pretty hopefless at Modelling but I managed to put something basic together for the purposes of testing. I know its pretty hopeless compared to the work shown here by yourself and Admer, but it will be enough to get the code robust enough to work as needed. I just have to "plumb it in" to my little project and make it work.....

In any event thank you for the kind offer.

Warm regards

Monty.

@mr-burns

tossed both weapons your way in a PM. hope they're any kinda usefull to you.
feel free to use them, rip em apart to use pieces & generally do whatever with them,
as long as you dont give the original files to anyone & give me full credit for the models,
preferably through means of an included credits txt-file that you include with your mod

i made both models for fun and have no intent to actually sell them or such.

And I might as well show a little big project that I'm working on in a team.

Or maybe just a glimpse of it. It'll be a game soon enough, expect it in a couple of years. For now it's just the technical part, getting some basic things right, like movement etc.

Since I never really used UE4 until now, I decided I should start somewhere.
So I started by adding a sprinting function, as well as adding an FOV changer to it. I like the way it's going for now, even though it's spaghetti code at the moment. (or seems to be)
I wandered for hours, thinking how to make the while loop work without creating an infinite loop (while loops are dangerous anyway), and for loops just won't make the cut since they pause execution until they're done by themselves. So I realised, I could make a custom loop, LMAO. As a beginner, I'm proud of myself. ;)

My life is Half-Life, though. :P

Jokes aside, don't worry. I go outside too. It's nice, especially where I live. A beautiful countryside waiting to be explored. Sometimes I visit the neighbours. It'll change once high school starts again. Then I'll probably spend most of my time studying.

I do have many projects though. I start working on a map, then my progress slows down. After that, I start working on a rifle model, finish some of it, then I lose motivation again. And then I try learning something new, and it goes really well, but then I remember, I've got projects to finish. And it's a vicious cycle. But the good thing is, things get done sooner or later.

Funny thing is, this map I'm working on, ts_untergrund, was made a long time ago. I made it and released it in 2016, so it's technically finished. What I'm doing now is just an update. A big update. The map deserves it anyway.

So in reality, most of my current map projects are maps that my laptop couldn't handle when they were 50% done, so I worked on other things until I got my new PC. And now it's a situation and a half: I've got young and promising projects with fresh ideas, and I've got old projects which I swore I'd finish. But everything in its own time, I guess. :3

That's looking pretty damn sweet, Admer. That "access denied" shot looks weird, though. Where are the shadows? I feel weird saying that to you cause I'm sure you can see that there aren't any shadows (none that you would expect, anyway) and I'm assuming it's just unfinished. The "access denied" panel looks like it's floating in space.

1500 triangles. For my first helicopter model, this probably isn't too bad. At this point I can compile it with a placeholder texture and see how it fits the map:

(in-editor shot)

I've also added a mounted machine gun in it. ^^

The mesh is done, the UV maps are done, the animations are done, all but the texture. (currently using multiple 256x256 and 512x512 UV map templates) Maybe I could improve the windows on the sides. They look a bit odd.
I think I might finish it this week. And while making this transparent GIF in GIMP, I discovered how (optimised) animated GIFs work. So cool. :D

And wow, Talisa, that's really nice-looking. owo
