#

Will focus on that from now on

nimble basin
#

No worries! I appreciate all you've done so far, it's really looking good

rigid timber
#

This shit is bussin

#

So fucking sick

warped dome
#

Right, let's see where I left off here

warped dome
#

ladies and gentlemen, ya boy just learned how to make scuff, dirt, scratches mlmask layers hahhah

red reef
#

ohhhhh, nice!

#

substance painter?

warped dome
#

Da

red reef
#

one day I will learn it

warped dome
warped dome
#

so i made a test layer, but it all of it so pixelated?, it should be pretty smooth

warped dome
#

i fixed this btw

#

Test mask, it wont be this ugly stuff but ik how to make it work

red reef
#

scratchies :3

warped dome
#

i will try cramp some layer

#

i make a scratch layer and a dust layer

#

my mlmask is full

nimble basin
#

:(

warped dome
#

So i've done the scratchy scratch mask and the dirty dirt map. very subtle, since i like factory new gear lHmadsdf but it is there

#

can be tweaked further but for now this is it

#

this part in particular is biggest W since it was the same block of texture all over

nimble basin
#

I like it!

#

esp that little bit of wear or dirt in the middle section of the nvgs

warped dome
#

if you scroll up you'll se how it looked before

#

same block of texture everywhere

#

anyway

#

now ill play with the mesh

#

the NVG im gonna do up and down

#

that will be 1 item that sits in the same slot

#

helmet of course another slot, and i think ill keep the headset strapped to it

#

was intially thinking to rip it off and make it modular

#

but actually i will

nimble basin
#

I see I see

warped dome
#

microphone deff goes off as well

nimble basin
#

It'll look good either way, but it does go very nicely with your other pair of headsets

warped dome
#

and lenses will be separate because imma recolor them and you can put your color of choice on lens uwu

warped dome
#

i dont have many slots left

nimble basin
#

big sad

warped dome
#

backlens recolor worth?

nimble basin
#

Hmmm

#

I think it'd be a neat touch honestly, not a lot of games do that

warped dome
#

So then

#
  1. helmet
  2. headset
  3. mic
  4. nvg u/d
  5. nvg lens u/d
  6. nvg backlens u/d

9 items

#

oh and the stupid balaclava

#

10 items mod

#

lets fkin go

nimble basin
#

Wait, you were separating the mic from the headset?

warped dome
#

ya

nimble basin
#

lmao

#

Is that balaclava even worth?

warped dome
#

10x my standard 28 color

#

280 items

nimble basin
#

Is there anything I can do to help?

warped dome
#

neh

#

I will be brutally real though

#

Most optimistic release is end of march

nimble basin
#

Nothing wrong with intensifying the hype

warped dome
#

gonna be sick mod though

nimble basin
#

It already is! Take as much time as you need

warped dome
#

Maybe Mana can teach me how to make blender icons - thats one thing i need to modernize on my mods

#

current way i do icons is a bit trashy

nimble basin
#

Like the icons that appear in the inventory? And what do you do with them that's trashy?

warped dome
#

they're ingame screenshots i process in PS

#

they look kinda bleh

#

average

nimble basin
#

I see

warped dome
#

this lil things are part of the shroud no?

nimble basin
#

Yes, those are part of the shroud

warped dome
#

rest is part of NVD?

nimble basin
#

That looks correct

warped dome
#

if i break the mic here is good?

nimble basin
#

I think it'd look a bit odd with that other portion jutting out

#

But let me take a look at some examples

warped dome
#

i break like this, i thought its fused further with the rest

nimble basin
#

That would look a lot better

warped dome
#

aight imma export that

#

headset

#

and helmet

#

the helmet has straps separated but ill fuse them in ent

#

for that trick i did

#

if you noticed it

#

i managed to weight the straps to morph around face sliders and move with expressions

nimble basin
#

Dang it even has the headband cat_woah

#

I remember you talking about it with Mana lmao, that's gonna be awesome

#

It looks good, the only thing I'd recommend is to move those little pieces of the shroud you highlighted over the base of the nvg mount so the mount looks like it's being held in place by the shroud

#

idk if that'll make things look funny, if it does no worries, it's a small detail

warped dome
#

you will need to remind me

#

this is for later minor tweaks

nimble basin
warped dome
#

got it all split

#

ill make the porting of all this tomorrow

#

You can actually help by keeping me updated with my own to do list lmao lHmadsdf

#

For this mod

nimble basin
#

I gotchu

warped dome
#

Right so the list I haven't made one

#

Np youll make it

nimble basin
#

I think I remember most of what you mentioned, but I'll look back through to be sure

warped dome
#

Dw ill tell now

#

What I remember

#

So first I need to Axl all this stuff

#

Porting these split meshes basically

#

Then I can actually begin on colors

#

The materials are more or less determined already

#

I need to make 8 custom color with camo, I'm not sure if camo upping the helmet is worth?

#

I did this for my mask

#

Because I had no place to put the accent colors

#

But on the helmet there's quite a few places I can

#

Actually before coloring I need to review the mlmask with the layers since I deleted 2 to add those dirt and scratch ones

warped dome
#

Will need to think about this

nimble basin
#

Hmm, I see

warped dome
#

Then the 20 standard colors

#

The solid ones that no one uses, jk a lot use them

nimble basin
#

Hm hm hm

warped dome
#

After that I have the json file to do with all the names and descriptions

#

Although I could do this tomorrow just after porting

#

And after that, those would be the main things completed

#

So I can start tweaking on minor stuff

#

There are a few problems

nimble basin
#

Gotcha

warped dome
#

One is, the nvg uv has a weird issue I'd need someone to help me with, one of the islands is overlapping some vertices somewhere or something

#

This issue needs investigating

#

You may be able to see on the holsetered nvg variant if you take a closer look

#

On the outer rim of the back Inner tube

nimble basin
#

I'll take a looksie

warped dome
#

Theres a strip that's gets colored the same way as the main helmet

#

Anyway, this needs fixing

#

Then the headset headband is actually clipping into the head

#

I need to fix that

#

Because I separated it now

#

The mlmask scratches and dust layers can be improved but this is a subjective optional

#

Another optional is implementing garment support for the straps

#

So that I can overlay my mask perfectly without clipping

#

Oh yeah shit, I forgot - coloring the lenses

#

The back lenses

#

And the balaclava

#

The female balaclava needs adjustments

#

And that also brings me to the entire male refit

#

I need to import the male balaclava and then refit the entire helmet

nimble basin
warped dome
#

I will need to adjust the male balaclava, split the straps from the helmet and also do that trick with weight

#

Then ofc the icons, ideally blender ones if I figure out how to import the meshes with cp materials and set up scenes for rendering

#

Never done this

#

Icons are mandatory but blender ones are optional

#

And that's about it from what I can remember rn

#

A few other big optional:
Maybe figure out how to add hair strands for when the balaclava is not being used

#

Idk who could help me with this

#

And the most funny optional

#

To ask the author of night vision mod f he can make a collaborative patch for the helmet xd

#

But this after everything else is done

nimble basin
#

Got it

warped dome
#

Well if I missed anything or you wanna add something do it

#

I'm off to sleep now

#

Got work to do tomorrow

#

Gn

nimble basin
#

No probs, I'll mull it over, gn gn

red reef
#

it looks so good!

#

maybe put the microphone material on the cheat sheet in the wiki?

warped dome
#

which where when

#

its just steel perforated

red reef
warped dome
red reef
#

oh, ok :))

warped dome
#

just finished that massive axl items project

#

going ingame to see how many made it through first try lHmadsdf

#

ahh this some good shit:
Helmet โœ…
Headset โœ…
Balaclava โœ…
NVG โœ…
Front Lens U/D โŒ
Back Lens U/D Crashed game lHmadsdf

red reef
#

not bad ๐Ÿ˜„

warped dome
#

Thanks madman

#

ah yes, instead of "gender" i wrote that, that'd explain the crash

red reef
#

wake up, new gender dropped

warped dome
#

Real hypermadladhypermadlad

warped dome
#

Aight i fixed everything, porting complete

warped dome
#

Finished the minor refit adjsutements. although those carpet covers can be added to the list to be checked later

#

the dust and scratch layers need to be adjsuted too

warped dome
#

This part i highlighted here is for some godforsaken reason getting colored by the layer 0 (the full white one) of my mlmask, instead of layer that i have a mask for. Why SadMan
It shouldn't do this

warped dome
#

i think i found solution

red reef
#

what was it?

warped dome
#

A strip of.vertices was out of. Bounds

red reef
#

ahhh

#

that would do it

nimble basin
#

Oof

warped dome
#

where ma list lHmadsdf

#

because we have things to check off of it smirk

nimble basin
#

Uno momento

warped dome
#

I will take a shot of the thing

#

I have finished a lot

#

Time i tease it for the first time

nimble basin

~~1. ArchiveXLify ~~

 2. Materials - ~~(more or less determined)~~

 3. Coloring - ~~20 standard + 8 custom colors with camos (may or may not do camo due to ability to accent helmet)~~

~~ - 14 Solid Colors~~
- 6 non-colors
~~ - 8 Camo Variants~~
~~ - Must examine mlmask before coloring since 2 layers were removed to add wear effects~~
- ArchiveXL colors

  5. Icons (Blender ones optional)

  6. Adjust shroud to hold NVG mount

  7. ~~Create standard off screen for NVG up ~~

Issues
- Extra mid lens (nvg separator) must be its own mesh, fused in ENT. It will be a single black color. Currently it's still being colored by the base color

do you want the script I use to generate keys?

warped dome
warped dome
red reef
#

also fair

nimble basin
#

I crossed them out, but hmmmm

#

Were you planning to keep the helmet rails carbon fiber? The velcro on the helmet also doesn't really look like velcro, but I'm not sure if there's anything that could really replicate it

warped dome
#

most llikely yes since i like the break up in texture

nimble basin
#

Np np

warped dome
#

the top parts this is the best i can do

#

canvas looks closest to that carpet like texture

nimble basin
#

It's all good

#

With those settled, I think the last thing I'd recommend material-wise is to subdue the shininess of the NVG shroud

red reef
#

and just assign it by submesh :3

warped dome
#

My game managed to royally fuck itself yesterday

nimble basin
#

Uh oh

#

What happened?

warped dome
#

Idk, amd things i suppose

#

i cant even use IGCS it crashes my entire driver

nimble basin
#

That's tragic af

warped dome
#

Looks like I'm out of screenshot business until this magically fixes itself or something

nimble basin
#

I'm still new to photography here, but I could try to take some if you'd like

warped dome
#

Nah it's ok

#

I need this issue resolved

#

I'm still a vper

#

Main problem is my game crashes with black screen when attempting to hotsample with igcs

nimble basin
#

Hmm

warped dome
#

I asked 3 of my vp-ers if they're interested in some teasing work until i fix my game

red reef
nimble basin
#

Well good you have some folks to back you up, was there a recent driver update or something?

warped dome
warped dome
#

As you can see on my mod pages, the credits list is rather bIg

nimble basin
#

verigud

red reef
warped dome
#

I didn't check it no

#

I had this problem happen to me before and I don't remember how i fixed it

red reef
#

that might give you a better error message to google

warped dome
#

Another clue maybe if it helps, evenn changing the game windowed mode to bordeless/ fulscreen makes the same driver timeout

#

and as far as i remember this happens with CET installed

#

but i won't even bother uninstalling CET i need it

red reef
#

that's a CET/AMD issue

#

I think it was resolved with dependency upgrades, but not keeping track

warped dome
#

Do you know aything about it

#

I don't even know where to look

red reef
#

no, I'd look into the event viewer and google the exact error message from the crash

red reef
#

that will at least give you many interesting new solutions to try :))

warped dome
#

2 of the 3 asked VP'ers already very excitely agreed for some teasers of some opscore material Mmmm

#

I'll get some teasers to the world then

#

Well, sad my game ir borked, but i can still work on the mod

nimble basin
#

Yeah that's awful, can't wait to see what they do tho!

warped dome
#

@red reef Unrelated question, but i how do i hide arms on male V? Got a comm to replace the arms with cyberarms and that i did, but they clip with the normal arms and when I try to use the hide_Arms tag it also hides the cyberarms mesh themselves lHmadsdf

red reef
warped dome
#

Standard axl stuff

#

Is the thing bugged or an issue on my end

red reef
#

did you name your components as a0?

warped dome
#

Yeah

#

yeh i named it differently and now it shows

#

now that i had no clue

#

Gracias

red reef
#

welcome ๐Ÿ˜„

warped dome
#

One of my vp-ers already took some teasers

#

By Fenyr:

red reef
nimble basin
#

So sick

warped dome
#

@nimble basin New mission for you for future me: Search me a proper modern plate carrier or vest to go with this helmet

nimble basin
#

I've been searching since I found that helm lmao, but I'm not sure if I've found anything yet

#

Any luck with getting your game to run properly with IGCS?

warped dome
#

Didn't try anymore but doesn't matter I gotta mod not do shots rn

#

I have my vpers for that

warped dome
#

other things we're missing is stuff like holsters, amor plates and most importantly undersuits

nimble basin
#

Would you be opposed to a chest rig over a vest?

warped dome
#

well I like to do non bulky stuff

nimble basin
warped dome
#

That's the theme of all my clothes

nimble basin
#

The game has a couple but they look like plate carriers

warped dome
#

also a backpack wouldn't hurt but we already have a mod for thast

nimble basin
#

Oh? Which one?

warped dome
nimble basin
#

Mmmm I've seen but not used it

warped dome
#

If you find a modern days backpack also let me know

#

basically show me everything good you find military

#

The theme is: cyberpunky/military/modern and to not be bulky inn particular

warped dome
#

this is very nice

nimble basin
#

I need to find an actual 3D model lmao but I think a simple dryfit combat shirt would be great too

warped dome
#

actually ill just let you cook

nimble basin
#

Would compliment the vest you already have too

warped dome
#

skin tight and non bulky stuff is exactly what i neeed

nimble basin
#

I WISH I COULD COOK, I'm just making a shopping list

warped dome
#

i have very few project slots so i gotta pick the most compatible ones with my other mods

#

that's why emphasis on skin tight and ahve it looking nice and cool

nimble basin
#

Hmmm

#

Maybe a shirt before the vest then? idk if it'd be simpler or not but it'd go with more things

#

I feel like you can get away with a lot of the pants, whether they're mod or vanilla, but shirts can be a bit more difficult for the tactical look

warped dome
#

bodysuit would do me great

#

this one can be futurstic

nimble basin
#

hm hm

warped dome
#

like a full body undersuit

nimble basin
#

I know it's not full body, but this man did it right

warped dome
#

although keep in mind we're primarly dressing up girls

#

hence why i want skin tight as possible

nimble basin
#

I see

warped dome
#

see good thing i split up the mic and headset you can do some sick partial opscore accessories here SIUUU

nimble basin
#

mmmmm

warped dome
#

if onnly the helmet was more of a frame

#

to have the nvg attached

nimble basin
#

I just didn't know that you wanted to go that far with it, headset only always looks sick af

warped dome
#

that wouldve been sick

nimble basin
#

I don't know if that exists for those, but hmmmmmmmmmm

#

A mic here would be just

warped dome
#

oh yeah

nimble basin
warped dome
#

hmm not quite

#

just the opscore but being like a frame

#

so the hair is visible and can go through gaps

nimble basin
#

I'm not quite sure I understand

warped dome
#

basically have a frame that can hold this NVG without covering the forehead

nimble basin
#

Ahhh

rigid timber
rigid timber
#

wip shots soon

warped dome
nimble basin
#

xd

warped dome
#

public mod?

rigid timber
#

Ya it will be

#

I have license

warped dome
#

nice

#

Show us blushy

rigid timber
warped dome
#

damn sheeeeee

nimble basin
#

Very sick

rigid timber
#

male only tho

warped dome
#

Damn thats big rip

nimble basin
#

Sad but still sick

rigid timber
#

i mean someone can refit it for chicks

#

but I'm not going to

warped dome
#

Based lHmadsdf

#

well ye

#

weighting that thing

#

is just p.a.i.n.

rigid timber
#

"male V only"

warped dome
#

Dw I'll provide something for the gals eventually

#

Because if you drop this for male i can just drop one for female

rigid timber
#

that works great tbh

#

less work for you and less work for me

warped dome
#

much less work for me, we provide people with some plate carriers

rigid timber
#

hit me in DM's

warped dome
#

but not this vest

warped dome
#

im full of projects

rigid timber
#

me too

#

I love that glove project you teased on your Nexus

#

that would have cut outs for personal link

#

very very cool

#

and your military vest is my fav in-game asset vest by far

warped dome
#

ahahahahh but you know what would be cool? me actually going through the giga refit process that i dont want to do on it lmaoo

#

it should've been the "next project" 2 projects ago hypermadlad

warped dome
#

But i have this one with the opscore coming up

#

And then a top secret one

rigid timber
#

I rock it all the time!

warped dome
rigid timber
nimble basin
#

We all love a little [redacted]

warped dome
#

next shop upddate will be [codename opscore]

#

i like to tease people with that shop

nimble basin
#

verigud

rigid timber
#

now you got me curious about this top secret thing though

warped dome
#

Unfortunately this is top secret as it says it is SadMan

#

Don't expect any news of it till end of march

#

It's in very early development

rigid timber
#

roger that

nimble basin
#

As for the nvgs though, as far as realism goes, I believe they all have that headband thing going on

#

Not that realism has to get in the way of cool lmao

rigid timber
rigid timber
#

It's already out man

nimble basin
#

sheeeeeeeee

#

say less

carmine onyx
warped dome
#

I'll show one more teaser

nimble basin
warped dome
#

By mekaisntreal:

#

They made a few more but I will let them post

#

It's their work

#

Not sure if any of the vp-ers that make shots for me are here though SCpolitecry

nimble basin
#

It dooooo be lookin very good, and sad

warped dome
#

i made another color. its charcoal. hypermadlad

nimble basin
#

bro is grillin'

warped dome
#

im just so lazy rn

red reef
warped dome
warped dome
#

todo list: replace diode with opaque glass in UP position of NVG, but leave on DOWN position for the glow on eyes

nimble basin
#

Added it

warped dome
#

ok so from the reference ive looked these parts seem to be darker tone on most models

#

Also, for my custom camos, I see some good reference

#

this is pretty common across models

#

So I'll slap my camos on the main helmet

#

Right I think this looks better

#

Made the screws and bolts a lighter tone so that it contrasts better on the darker elements, for reference ill post the mlsetup layer colors so future me

#

So for the 6 non color ones + 7 (maybe all 8 of the custom camo ones) will have this kind shading, red will be the main color such as the one on helmet, shrouds and other large elements will have darker tone, and smaller elements, mostly on nvg like the inner lens rims, inner tubes and various small elements on helmet will have lighter tone than main color

#

the cyan is the microphone which ill just eye ball it lmao

#

the blue is the large metal bits and the white are the bolts

nimble basin
#

It's looking goooooooood

rigid timber
#

Yeah, itโ€™s really looking great. Making those certain parts darker really helped with the contrast and with making it look more solid

nimble basin
#

Big agree

warped dome
#

Gracias love

#

I made 4 non colors already

#

They look great

#

Only the 2 white versions left and that's it for non colors

red reef
#

remember that you can split off parts into different submeshes or even meshes altogether, yeah?

#

It might be easier to just have the screws etc. with their own .mlsetup, or even just with a normal map and black/white/silver appearance

warped dome
#

What you're saying is how it currently is, as you can see in blender, although that was used to make the layer masks

#

I also feel like for this release I'll write some lore for it lHmadsdf

red reef
#

this has gone on so long that the thing gained sapience?

warped dome
#

Yeah hahah

#

Well its by no means an easy project

#

As a matter of fact, this is likely the hardest one I made

red reef
#

but it looks like you learned sooo much

warped dome
#

Yeah you helped quite a lot in that regard

#

you need to add on to do list hypermadlad
the extra mid lens i put on nvg as separator must be its own mesh that i fuse in ent. it will be a single black color

#

currently its getting colored by the base color and its not good

nimble basin
#

Added cat_rogerthat

warped dome
#

Can maybe Mana pin that thing SCpray

warped dome
#

also here we have the white specimen

nimble basin
#

It is a specimen indeed

warped dome
#

should i darken aditional parts even more?

nimble basin
#

I was thinking the same thing, it looks like the colors are right, but maybe not enough difference between them

warped dome
#

well now there is definitely contrast

nimble basin
#

That's the stuff

warped dome
#

what is this again?

nimble basin
#

It's supposed to be the dovetail device that connects the NVG to the mount

warped dome
#

that thing is fused into those vertices, i may separate if i can and put it on a different layer

#

thats the only part i dont really like how its colored

#

the middle round thing

#

Right white is done as well

#

only Snow variant left for non color

#

which is just white but whiter

nimble basin
#

Hmm hmm

warped dome
#

Oh ill show you guys how the Void version looks

#

that's all custom black

#

It's very darkaycabron

#

I think most people will use that one

nimble basin
#

it does seem to have a little bit of contrast on the real thing, I think it's a good idea

#

It doesn't look horrible the way it is tho if it doesn't work out

warped dome
#

This one is even whiter

#

It's called snow for a reason, you wear it when going up Everest idk

#

Doesnt have to be too contrasty

#

That's all 6 non colors finished

#

That can be checked off

nimble basin
#

verigood

warped dome
#

let me show you the void

#

ha its so black i literalyl cant go blacker than this without editing the xbm maps

#

i will probably edit the top part but thats for a later stage

#

although

#

i may just leave it like this i dont think i can go any blacker on it without potentially runining the material properties because of how dark it is

nimble basin
#

lmao

#

That's really pretty

warped dome
#

anyway now, time for the fancy custom variants

#

First my iconic thumbnail color set, black and orange

#

idk if i can put the orange accent anywhere on this

#

but i can definitely put the camo

nimble basin
#

Dang I forgot to ask this again, prob should have before you started coloring. Is it possible to make the NVG shroud less reflective?

#

Many are metal, but they're a bit more subdued

red reef
#

what do I pin?

warped dome
#

It has the lowest reflection properties i could + it's also my game moment

red reef
warped dome
#

see the 2 teasers that i posted here it's not that reflective

warped dome
nimble basin

~~1. ArchiveXLify ~~

2. Materials - (more or less determined)

  1. Coloring - 20 standard + 8 custom colors with camos (may or may not do camo due to ability to accent helmet)

    ~~ - 6 non-colors~~
    ~~ - Must examine mlmask before coloring since 2 layers were removed to add wear effects~~

  2. Back lens recolors

  3. Female balaclava adjustments

  4. JSON with name and descriptions

  5. Male Refit

    • Need to adjust the male balaclava, split helmet straps, and perform weight trick
  6. Icons (Blender ones optional)

  7. Adjust shroud to hold NVG mount

  8. Replace diode with opaque glass in UP position of NVG, but leave on DOWN position for the glow on eyes

Issues
-Extra mid lens (nvg separator) must be its own mesh, fused in ENT. It will be a single black color. Currently it's still being colored by the base color
-UV error on NVG eyepiece
-Headset headband clips into head

Optional

-Blender Icons
-Garment support for helmet straps
-Hair strands for when balaclava is not being used
-Possible improvement of mlmask wear effects
-Collaborate with NVG mod maker

I fucking adore the lenses, btw.

#

But there is also problem now, if i make it out of plastic again, that layer is not just the metal shroud

#

its also other metal elements

#

so sadly, that's one thing it's a bit too deep to change

#

i can show you how to change for your use if you want

nimble basin
#

It's alright, not too big of a deal. I am interested in the knowledge tho cat_noted

warped dome
#

I'll give you the mod early anyway

#

After im done with all variants

nimble basin
warped dome
nimble basin
#

I'd be honored

warped dome
#

right so here is one attempt

#

which parts to camo up

nimble basin
#

Very sick

warped dome
#

here i camo upped the main helmet, that is in references

#

and the holder of the tubes

#

dont forget this helmet is modular

#

so you can put your standard black non camo nvg instead

nimble basin
#

True true

warped dome
#

the orange accent is no bueno though

nimble basin
#

I was about to say traditionally I don't think you'd find camo nvgs, but it looks kinda exquisite

warped dome
#

i only have it here

nimble basin
#

That looks solid af

warped dome
#

eh i dont rly like the orange on the buckles

#

lets try it on the metal parts layer

#

i can also just not have the orange at all thats also an option

nimble basin
#

Yeah they do kinda stand out a bit

#

I'd go for something more subtle personally

warped dome
#

lets hear it

#

also definitely not metal parts this looks stupid i wont even show it lmao

nimble basin
#

I think even just a grey for a small bit of contrast would be nice, the camo is swaggy enough

warped dome
#

this is a black base

#

with just camo

nimble basin
#

Or a lighter black, like you have on the velcro

warped dome
#

i'd like to not change it

#

its probably just the nvg putting you off

nimble basin
#

Hm hm

warped dome
#

just that materials look different ingame

nimble basin
#

I seee

warped dome
#

in inventory this actually looks ddifferent

#

anyway let me try orange on bolts and screws

nimble basin
#

alright alright

warped dome
#

also not looking good with orange on bolts

#

I have 1 more layer i will try it in

nimble basin
#

Np np

warped dome
#

hmm hmmm hmmm

nimble basin
#

HMMMMM

warped dome
#

what you say yah or nah

#

im in between

#

also i guess i forgot that middle round thing is unfused lmao

#

forgot i put it on this layer

nimble basin
#

Me too, it's definitely very stylish

#

I say keep it, maybe I'm just not used to looking at gear like that with some pizzazz lmao

warped dome
#

minor problem this also colors the headset band and it does not look good

nimble basin
#

lmao oof

warped dome
#

with my other mods combination

#

idk tbh

nimble basin
#

My preferences aside, I think it looks kinda sick lmao

warped dome
#

lets see nvg up

nimble basin
#

hmmmmmm

#

idk how nice expanding the accent of the inner lens would look

warped dome
#

that is just a rim

#

the lens in the back ill remake it

#

currently its a turned off diodee

#

but ill make it low reflective opaque glass in up position

#

actually

#

we make the whole thing black, no accent color on the helmet

#

the accent will be on the balaclava stitches

#

and ill make the main lenses in multiple colors

#

same thing i did with my mask

#

all was it camo and main color, with the leds providing accent color

nimble basin
#

big brain

warped dome
#

that is my take

nimble basin
#

I was meaning like this tho, not sure if its possible

warped dome
#

no thats part of the inner tube that goes in front

#

i can color that one though

#

although not sure if i should have so much accent color

#

its only on small rims on other equipment

nimble basin
#

Ah I see

#

I like the idea of adding accents through the balaclava and lenses tho

#

Totally not saying that to save me from learning how to recolor when I want to larp happery

warped dome
#

then its settled

#

i camo up the helmet an the nvg tube holder horizontal thing

#

lenses are separate anyway

#

so you can color them however you want

nimble basin
#

DELICIOUS

warped dome
#

Nightops variant, this one is part of my new camo sets, it will be this pattern on black base with blue accents

#

I have like 5 geometric patterns now

#

Ditched the green camo ones rip bozo

nimble basin
#

Is a multicam out of the question? cat_hidden

warped dome
#

For now yes because I have huge problems trying to match tones on colored camo variants

#

It's why i ditched those

#

I already have problems with the desert one but that one is actually used quite often

#

So i will keep it but will be a struggle to match those tones on other mods

nimble basin
#

big sad

warped dome
#

is what it is, can't have them all sadly, im just 1 guy and these take me a long time to make as you can see

#

Maybe one day someone will want to release addon variants for my mods

#

Then sure you can talk to that person for more camos lHmadsdf

nimble basin
#

Hopefully that will be me, and hopefully not by 2077 hidethepain

warped dome
nimble basin
#

Whatcha got is awesome though, I'm not complaining lmao

warped dome
#

I do have a student who successfully dropped his first mod

#

So i can teach

nimble basin
#

I'm in love with that first black camo pattern

#

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the very basics, but I'd def appreciate some help later. What did they make?

warped dome
nimble basin
#

Sheee, I think I have those actually

#

Very good

warped dome
#

Collaborative mod, as was my first mod ever, but he learned

warped dome
#

And that'd be the last custom camo variant. Next up are the remaining 14 solid colors variants

#

Can check off the list the 8 custom camos

#

these 2 can also get nuked:
-UV error on NVG eyepiece
-Headset headband clips into head

rigid timber
#

This mod is amazing man. You put so much love into these

#

I gotta ask tho will there be a male version ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

warped dome
#

You can add:

  • axl the colors
  • refine dust and dirt layers
  • refine all colors because i'll need to take another look at them all after they're done to adjust smaller things
warped dome
warped dome
#

It's on todo list

#

but that will likely be the very last thing

rigid timber
#

Take your sweet time

#

Youโ€™re awesome for always having a make v version

warped dome
warped dome
nimble basin
warped dome
# nimble basin All done

Also another development idea I had, I guess the back screen lens thing is always turned off in up position no?

nimble basin
#

Hmmm

#

Yes, these have an auto off feature

warped dome
#

รŽn that case, I can get rid of an entire item

#

And just fuse a standard off screen in nvg up

warped dome
#

Also totally optional again but I'll take a look at glowy lenses after I finish the standard ones

nimble basin
#

I think they would be worth if you're up to it

warped dome
#

Last time I tried they didn't look too good

#

But I'll try

nimble basin
#

With the blue?

warped dome
#

Nah, I didn't show any pic

#

Also the current lens properties good?

nimble basin

yeesh how many colors

red reef

60ish

warped dome

Also, do you have a script or something to delete everything in inventory?

red reef

No, I just load an earlier save ๐Ÿ˜„

warped dome
#

pffff no such thing exists in my game hypermadlad

#

i have EEX outfits I need

#

Still a vp-er and still got that NPV of mine i need to put them on

#

Aight my man you can add and also check off:
20 glow lenses for front and back in up and down
20 reflective lenses for front and back in up and down

#

So that's 160 total lenses HA

#

im so dead

#

i axl-ed them all

#

im done with all lenses

#

front mid rear whatever

#

i will die when making icons

#

But that's a problem for future me HuskyStayCool

#

Let me do some math

#

This mod will add 320 items

Hey Mana, I can't do this trick in here?

#

nvm i see first problem

i dont have color parameter risitas

they must be in the same order?

warped dome
#

Yeah i figured that one yesterday

warped dome
#

@red reef I come asking for help again SCpolitecry
I"m trying to load materials from my mlsetup in blender for taking icons, but I can't figure out how. I exported the mesh with the materials checkbox ticked, imported with the plugin with materials checkbox tickeed and here I am with selected material but it doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong

red reef
warped dome
#

but i imported a vanilla item as well and that one didnt work either

red reef
#

hmmm... you're on the most recent version of the plugin?

warped dome
#

Probably nnot

#

Haven't updated blender and plugin in a while

#

Guess I do that and try

warped dome
#

Maybe i just don't know how to load the textures

red reef
#

might have to regenerate your depository

warped dome
#

I exported the good old netrunner suit

#

I can see something changing when i selected glass and other material

#

but every other material is white uncolored

#

It's very likely a skill issue on my end

#

I just don't know how to preview these

#

its getting colored by this, clearly im not doing something right

#

i need to load the mlsetup colors

red reef
warped dome
#

I've never done this

red reef
warped dome
#

oki

warped dome
#

Is the console supposed to machine gun errors at 700 RPM during this process?

red reef
#

yeah ๐Ÿ™‚

warped dome
#

Right so I generated the depot thing with the .dds files only so far. I imported back, and I have this

#

I can see the materials in preview

#

But not on the mesh

#

Do I need to unbundle the whole game?

#

or now it's skill issue on blender

red reef
#

you don't, but why do you have dds and not pngs? HideThePain

#

anyhow, check the blender console?

red reef
#

wow, that#s ancient ๐Ÿ‘€

#

I need to change that... png default i s fine

#

Will fix that later

warped dome
#

the next step is this but havent done this yet

red reef
#

ahhh, that might be why

#

but AFAIK we have only one step now

warped dome
#

K then i guess i do png

red reef
#

Sorry for the confusion

#

I'll update the wiki as soon as my computer starts hanging

warped dome
#

All good

Is glass supported in blender? SadMan

#

they dont want to render

#

I got the mlsetups working, but the glass doesn't want to work

red reef
#

might eb that it isn't

#

#blender-add-on would know

warped dome
#

aight imma ask

#

the glass does load, its the diode that doesnt

#

the glowy ones

red reef
#

ahhhh

#

yeah, don't think that one's supported yet?

warped dome
#

Shittt

#

Can I fake it maybe?

red reef
#

#

just make a simple emissive shader in Blender

#

like, add node, emissive

Aight aight

#

Idk how but Ik someone who can help me with this hhsdgafkekbutHD

warped dome
#
