Just to spark some life into this forum, what are you currently working on? Are you considering starting anything / coming back?

Not many people post here anymore, for me, it's mostly because I dont need help that often, but I still like to help people posting here :)

Tell us what you are doing - We might even be able to help you with some ideas :)

I've recently started working with the editor again, and I started creating a SC2 version of the, once popular, Wc3 map; Enfo.

Enfo is a map where you as a team, defend you spawn, against waves after waves of enemy units.
The map is either played as one team fighting to survive till the end, or as two teams competing against eachother to survive the longest, using a shrine with various spells, to disrupt the enemy team.

In SC specifically? Nothing. Has Blizzard released modelling and animation conversion tools yet?

Last I heard, they were in a closed beta that I was in. I think it got released some time ago, but I'm not sure.

Although it depends on what you're talking about. I'm talking about the Art tools showcased on blizzcon.

Personally, I am still working on Cruiser Command off and on. Mostly fixing stuff and sometimes adding some new stuff. Robo Rally is another project that I am kind of working on. I am also working on a standalone version of Cruiser Command using Unity.

I mean like the .m3 conversion tools so you can import models into the editors. For a while I was working on one of them, but I dropped it when I decided that if I want to do mods I might as well do it on a game with at least SOME fucking developer support.

The SC2 Art Tools have been out for a while now. That is currently what I am working on, but I haven't done any 3D modelling before so it is slow going. Here is a WIP of my current model. Still working on the texturing (diffuse map is done, but normal, specular and emissive maps still need work)

Oh, seems interesting :) So you plan on actually releasing CC as a standalone game (in the future)?

Neat :D I assume it's some kind of portal, are you going to use it for a specific project, or you're just toying around? :)

It's a Stargate (from the tv show). I was thinking about making a Stargate Mod so for the moment I'm just working on Stargate related models.

Hopefully, although it's a lot more to do. SC2 helps you out with a lot of stuff.

It's also hard to find time and motivation for it right now.

What's GE?

  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
