Helmet looks fire

[latent hound]

oh sweet heres the thread

i love your visual style so far

retro but not the overplayed style (of which I am guilty as hell)

[rigid scroll]

looking good

[safe yacht]

You have a better gunplay then starfield already

[wind cedar]

looks good!!

[storm valve]

nicceee I love ricochets! im ading them aswell to my game

[latent hound]

the music though 🔥

good hcoice lol

also, the firing animations are so good

that pistol has weight

[inland yew]

Looking good, like the style

[inland yew]

On my own projcet I used a shader for the clipping

[inland yew]

Nice, looking good 👍

[rigid scroll]

nice, whered you get the face textures from?

[storm valve]

nice! looks like fallout combat armour

made a new vault for my game

lmao most of my game will be out in the open

cheers man

oh dude you dont even know how much of a hard time I had with an animation

and how the engine got the interpilation mode wrong

oh hell yah

garbajj is goat

also I dont get why modern retro games dont use metallic maps, I just added one to the vault

its a secret military base that was hidden in a national park

with "park rangers" making sure no one gets there

once the military was mobilized after bombs dropped they didnt let civilians go to the park or vault

the civilians took up arms and destroyed the small military contingent and took over

then it all came crashing down when some mutants and deadly gas came to the area

sorry for waffling abit

also im kind of trying to do sort of a old fallout style but in 3d

[storm valve]

yes

they did a great job

the only problem is that they used the same format as the 2d game so when its up close as an fps it becomes very pixelated

[storm valve]

nice

I have footstep sounds a working reload n stuff

also a cool gun sound

[storm valve]

really buggy rn but stilll

[glacial wren]

@fading coral You able to reccomend any resources you looked at to get your FP animations in engine and hooked up properly (as in like idle anim when your idle, reload anim when you reload stuff like that)

Like did you make those anims in Godot? or were they imported from another software. I seen some tutorials that show how to set up fp anims with arms but they only show anims made within Godot, i'd want to import my own from another software. Any other tutorials I find seem to only have guns with no arms

[glacial wren]

Ahh right ok ill try checking out Chaff_Games stuff. My only game knowledge stuff comes from dissecting the Halo engine and seeing how its done and making my own stuff there. I'd like to make my own thing and transfer some the skills I learned doing that to Godot just bit tricky atm trying to figure it all out

So when you say you dont have bones in your arms, the video where you hold a pistol are the arms just static there?

Hoping to try replicate bit of the workflow from Halo to godot, seems like its roughly similar. Like you make animations in whatever software, get it in engine then you do the extra stuff like particles from the engine, same as halo

[fading coral]

Sci-fi Themed FPS Project

[storm valve]

So your making halo lite in a way?

id love to see an indie re create halo

instead of making doom clones all the time

[glacial wren]

I wanna make a halo lite lol

[storm valve]

hell yea

do it then whats stopping you?

like a halo 1 clones shouldnt be too hard to make right?

[glacial wren]

trying to figure out how to import first person animations lol

or like just hook them up to my fp controller

considering offering some people like lil bit of money to just give me a simple project scene that only has a FPS controller with 1 set of animations, like just idle, reload and fire. Just so I can see how its done and I can add on to it

Or if anyone knows of any publicly available FPS projects that have First person arm animations with a gun that'd be a great help, im not asking for like a whole game project I just want the FPS controller with a sample set of animations to see how its all hooked up

[storm valve]

fair

[storm valve]

soz im not sure of any in godot

props

[glacial wren]

u got an FPS project that u could just separate a project file to only have ur FPS controller and like 3 animations you'd consider selling? 👀

idk if soliciting project files is illegal here mb if it is

[storm valve]

check dms

[storm valve]

my b

[somber hare]

Sorry if you’ve answered this, just saw this, are you using the same sway / movement across all the guns?

[storm valve]

left one is from stalker not myn

yep

made it today

thx man

I struggled so much at first because it was my second time ever making a character from scratch

but in the end worked well

whats your process for texturing characters normally?

[storm valve]

damn

yeah that method really never caught on with me

so I use substance painter instead

lmao I sorta ripped off fallout and star wars cad bane

fr

this is what it looks like before turning it retro

so maximum would fit a game in halo 3's era

because im no expert at substance and I dont have zbrush to sculpt really good details

but it gets the job done for low poly/retro

[somber hare]

Love that model, what’s the basic process?

[latent hound]

export a projectile variable that's just a packedscene

simple approach

[inland yew]

export is def your friend

my weapons have all export variables

[inland yew]

oh dude

that export string

go for anim_tree

use an animation_tree (blend) then you can name them all whatever you need and re-use

you can also just straight up use the texture then create it via code (for your decal)

don't know if that can help you

that would be in code

with a timer

you got a state machine ?

    var sound_ins = AudioStreamPlayer.new()
    sound_ins.finished.connect(sound_ins.queue_free)
    if weapon_ranged_automatic:
        sound_ins.pitch_scale = get_random_f_amount(1, weapon_gunshot_pitch)
    else:
        sound_ins.pitch_scale = get_random_f_amount(1, 1.2)
    sound_ins.bus = "SFX"
    sound_ins.autoplay = true
    sound_ins.stream = sound
    sounds.add_child(sound_ins)```

That's my create_sound function

(discord really breaks code eh)

one for music, one for SFX

    near_handle = BoneAttachment3D.new()
    far_handle = BoneAttachment3D.new()
    skeleton.add_child(near_handle)
    skeleton.add_child(far_handle)
    near_handle.bone_name = "near_handle"
    far_handle.bone_name = "far_handle"
    weapon_ranged_left_ik = SkeletonIK3D.new()
    weapon_ranged_right_ik = SkeletonIK3D.new()
    skeleton.add_child(weapon_ranged_left_ik)
    skeleton.add_child(weapon_ranged_right_ik)
    weapon_ranged_left_ik.root_bone = "mixamorig_LeftArm"
    weapon_ranged_left_ik.tip_bone = "mixamorig_LeftHand"
    weapon_ranged_left_ik.target_node = far_handle.get_path()
    weapon_ranged_left_ik.start()
    weapon_ranged_right_ik.root_bone = "mixamoRightArm"
    weapon_ranged_right_ik.tip_bone = "mixamorig_RightHand"
    weapon_ranged_right_ik.target_node = near_handle.get_path()
    weapon_ranged_right_ik.start()```

basically, I have made it so adding a new weapon takes way less time

don't need to create a bunch of nodes

if you get hands, you can add constraints, for example, in my project, my hands are fixed to 2 handle, those 2 handles are then fixed to the weapon itself

yeah, I like Stalker lol

Stalker Anomaly, if you haven't had the chance to try it

one thing I might try is to have all the animations except the reload be procedural

with tweens

cuz currently, every weapon has every animation done manually in blender

[somber hare]

damn as someone who struggles with the simpliest organic modeling, this is nice

[storm valve]

made a soldattt
