I have quite the graveyard myself.
An update on the character situation. I decided to go with blender to do the animations which turned out pretty nice. I really like how that program works(much better then milkshape for characters). The problem: I can't seem to find a way to get the model properly exported with the animations. Exporting the model itself is easy as pie but as soon as I include the animations the model gets corrupted or something else goes wrong.so, I'd think I'm going to shop around for a better animating program and just do regular models until this gets sorted or I learn a new program.

well, right when I was about to give up on these characters and move on I finally figured out how to get it imported from blender and what I was doing wrong. Everything looks good in the editor but when you run the model in a game some interesting things happen. Here's a video!

This is why I like the inanimate objects, characters are a pain

Here they are. It is quite strange, I'm not sure quite how to fix it yet.It seems like every time I solve one problem with these characters another one pops up


edit: I noticed in the FPE that I was scaling through there temporarily. I went ahead and scaled the character up in blender and tried again. The floating and sporadic movement are gone but two more new problems popped up (go figure). Now he turns backwards to run at the player and doesn't move and also the skin looks weird For some reason

Add fixnewy = 180 to flip it around. For some reason, ischaracter = 1 flips the model by 180 degrees. Not sure about the skin issue - did your UVs maybe get messed up during the scaling process?

Thanks gtox, I will give that a try. I don't think the uv's got messed up. I did use the decimate modifier on the model to knock the polygons down. I'm starting to think that might have something to do with it as it might have decimated some important polygons. I could be wrong. In normal lighting the model looks perfectly fine, this only seems to happen if with the shadows on the model. I'm definitely not a character expert so I'm still getting all the kinks worked out with making them.

It's because some model programs use a different x,y,z to the standard that GameGuru uses, Blender is one of them. Mathmatically the Y axis is up, the X axis is left to right, and the Z axis is front to back, in Blender the Y and Z axis are flipped. GameGuru tries to fix that by default, but in doing so it mirrors one of the axis as it translates it. So some models need the fixnewy command to adjust the y axis.

fixnewy fix the directional problem, thanks! I am going to release this alien guy into the community free since he's another practice model and I still don't know what I'm doing he still doesn't want to walk forward for some reason though and I don't know enough about lua to know how to fix the problem. I know how to do basic stuff and that's about it. so, I need to start cracking on the lua And make a script from scratch or give him to the community to fix and use. This guy is sucking up all my modeling time I guess even though I'm not getting anything done at least I'm learning something!

If you just want the character to walk forward while playing an animation you can use this code. Replace the 'x' with the starting animation frame, replace the 'y' with the end frame, and save as walk.lua

I would like him to do more than just walk, I was using the script harrywever gave me for my last character and I was trying to modify it to work with this one. Everything seems to be working fine this just for some reason changing from one character to another seems to have made him not want to move forward. I think this line of code is put in the script but differently. I do see the MoveForward command put in but it seems to be scripted differently. Here's the model and the script if you wouldn't mind taking a look. I also was thinking of an alternate method of just attaching this model to the zombies skeleton and animations in blender similar to mender's process to cheat the system but then he wouldn't have custom animations.

The reason the alien won't move forward is that the attack state calls for animation 1, which, according to the fpe is frames 40-54, but the MoveForward command is only activated if the frames are between 1 and 40 (line 175-176).
If you change this

to this

it will move forward.
The run speed is too slow, so it looks like it's running on treacle, so change 'local run_speed = 80' in line 15 to something like 'local run_speed = 200'

I was just about to post the same thing, your script isn't using CSI to call animations, the frame ranges are hard coded in the script, so you need to change the frame ranges in the script to match the animations in the fpe, and change the animations in the fpe to match the animations on the model.

Well thank you! That was a much easier fix that I thought. I had suspected those numbers were screwing me up and I should have opened up my last character and compared them. Why I didn't do that in the first place I don't know. Too much time on the computer I guess I get stuck on stupid, lol. Here he is finished.

It's been awhile but I've kind of been in a creative slump. But today I got a little motivation back. Here is a gas station/store drink refrigerator I've been working on. It still needs a little work But here's the general idea. one of the glass windows is a glitching and a few bottles need move backwards but it should be done sometime soon after a little fixing. I thought it might be useful seeing as I needed it myself for my own game

edit: that was a quick fix! I would like it a bit better if I could make the bottles 3D without driving the polygon count through the roof though. I also decided to get rid of the Cans

The store has been a little dead a while which has kind of killed my inspiration to keep uploading stuff. So, I've decided to make a experimental mega pack of all my current stuff and slashed the price by 65% to see if the fish are still biting. Not to imply any of you are fish... It will be available until January 5 for anybody who's interested.

The store tends to come and go in waves of enthusiasm. Don't sweat it. Seems like some stuff really attracts a lot of attention and some doesn't. My gore texture was a flop, for instance. My dungeon floor however, is a fantastic seller. So just keep working and you'll get the rest in time.

yeah, I've noticed some stuff sells way better than others. The fence packs sold quite a bit while something like the stasis chamber only sold a few. The funny thing is the fences took a fraction of the time to make vs. the stasis chamber. I just do this mainly for a hobby but it does make you feel good when stuff sells and makes you want to come up with other stuff. Also, a lot of the stuff I've been wanting to make is for indoors and as of right now doesn't seem as popular do to guru being mostly outdoor environments at the moment.
I actually quite liked the gore terrain. If you were going to make a game based off the movie "inner space" with Martin short it would work very nicely.

I imagine the huge dump of classic stuff that Lee released is keeping people busy.

Personally I don't use the store anymore.

I guess I'm guilty of not using the store myself either. I do like it for the animals, creatures and dinosaurs that I don't feel like making myself. plus, they are probably better than what I would make and are cheap so, why not. They have a new posting board for the store so that's why the old one is kind of stale. oh well, I'm not that worried about sales.. I scored a used PlayStation 4 on ebay for 100 bucks so i been burying myself in the exclusives I've been missing out on. Less sales = no guilt for not making new stuff and playing uncharted

Ah these are excellent! I have some of the old henry ham cabinets that are decent quality but too small/off color for most of my projects. Definitely stick with furniture; it's a good move for you.

Are you using _S and _N maps? It seems like they could use some tweaking to help give the models a little more 'pop'.

Thanks, now that the ebe is out it seems there is more of the demand for furniture and I enjoy making it anyway so that's probably the direction I'll be going for a while. They do have specular and normal maps applied to them. I guess I should have lightmapped the screen shot to show the effect better. I was also considering giving them the new glossy look but I'm not sure if that would be overdoing it or not. I guess I will have to tested out. It would be cool to have the granite countertops shine along with the sink
This shows a little more depth with the lightmap:

I've been thinking about it and... Here's the toaster for free. Just put each folder where it goes and your set


You can put the toast down and manually pop it back up (I forgot to mention, toaster 1 is static and 2 is animated)

Well I've been away for quite a while and haven't made anything for guru partly due to a creative block and I've also been building models for an insurance company part-time for their damaged properties to show clients. But either way, I brushed up on my stuff and got some better software so here's what I've been working on. So far I've got a new fishing boat, some hospital gurney's, a couple spaceships and a nice little scanner robot that when you walk up to it and activate it it will fly up and circle the player and talk. If you activated again it will tell you you've been scanned already and go back to sleep. Everything has PBR textures

Well, I had some cool stuff planned I was going to make but it keeps fighting me every step of the way so I just been making some random simple stuff so I don't get driven nuts by the bugs I had a nice over the door scanner that when you stepped up to it would shoot out a wide red laser scan and scan the player but the transparency and collision on the laser is nothing but problems. Also for some reason the illumination was trying to fight me too. So I'm back to the drawing board with different ideas. Anyway, here's a simple PBR broom and convenience store shelf I tossed together in the meantime

Well, making a million and one crates aint that time consuming. I have actually made it hahahahaha it almost killed my PC, when i took off wireframe mode and switched to textured. I swear I saw pearls of sweat on my monitors. That said.. can you imagine texturing them in 1 million and 1 varieties? And then there is the normal and specular maps too. Tell you what, you can have my brilliant (and slightly timeconsuming) idea; and I can play my guitar and leave the 3D to people that actually have skills for making something nice ^^

I absolutely love the gas-station.

I got the final shelves done for the dry goods and a couple wall signs done out. Besides the meats the pack doesn't come with any food, at least so far(I decorated the shelves with food items from the classic pack And used some of their florescent lights). That's going to take a lot of Photoshop and coming up with goofy names for the products. So for now this one's getting wrapped up until later but it should be something to get a small-town grocery store started. I threw a couple older items in the pack that completed the grocery store look as well.
Oh, before I forget. The grocery cart is free on the store. I didn't like some of the spacing on the front of the cart and went back to fix it and alter a couple other things and I ended up destroying the Original basket mesh. So rather than redo it I figured I would just give it away. It's hardly noticeable but I didn't like it
