Guess the GAME / MOD :)

[dose]

HERE'S A LITTLE FUN TEST

I guy's I was working on 2 mods tonight and one of them is looking pretty good like the real thing.
I was just wondering by watching this snapshot if you could know from what game I took MY IDEALS ?

BTW...it's a request i hade saturday ONline
If you have played this game, you should know ( AND MAYBE BY THE big SIGN THERE )

Good luck....




5 OTHER MODS ARE COMMING !!!

VENICE,CUBE,EGYPT,PINBALL and .... this one -You still don'T have a clue !?

[Promaxer]

Can i try guessing dose???

[Mario]

i know it without that big sign^^

but i let the others guess

[trunks_11]

I guess the Game is called Trackmania nations forever/ united forever, right?

[dose]

lol, promaxer, nooooo

nice, that's what i was looking for mario....but i think you hade an hint^^

LOL ^^ trunk

[Mario]

me? oO where?

[HawkGer]

I guessed correct just by looking at the thumbnail ^^ Kryw will be pleased about this mod - he always was dissing me for not making it Looking great btw...maybe you can get some more reflection in the mod like in the original game?

[dose]

thanks hawk!

can you be more specify about the reflection ?

Witch part you think should be add more reflection.

I thought of it, but hade so much trouble getting rid of the bright lights of the stadium.
I evn got rid of the night brightness

[Promaxer]

I know this is a fantastic wallpaper :phatgrin:

[occam]

[dose]

Yeah...its the right pic Occam

[HawkGer]

Occam should know....after all he proposed this mod idea some time in early 2009, if my memory is correct.
To be exact...I just looked up....it was the 03. Apr 09 ^^
About the reflection...I don't know....I mean it to look more like this gloomy feeling from the original game...but it's very hard to do in TM I guess...maybe reason why noone has ever attempted this mod. I would probably start adding some to the Circuit first. But I would rather want you to finish your other mods, that's more important
Btw. I created some textures yesterday....ehh today...at 3am....crazy I know! So maybe there will be one more mod from me after all :crazy:

[dose]

I have tried with the cloudFX and the ambiant light but never came to a perfect glossy look ;(
even tried with the NVIDIA plugin Normal map , i thought i could change some parameters but with no good result to !

I have looked at some of the tutos online about glossy FX in PS but its always a trick to do Letters , etc...
Im about to present the mod here, so if someone got an ideal on how to have my circuitD more shinny or glossy kinda fx....please stand up

[popgun]

Do you mean more like this?



or this?

[HawkGer]

Oh nice, is that mipmapping of the specular texture in the first pic? I wonder how that looks ingame. Would fit very much to the Mirror's Edge mod imo.

[popgun]

Yes, see here

Just alter the brightness (not lightness, there a big difference), this is for the 1st image, I just reversed ends for the 2nd. I also desaturated a little each time, but be careful as this greys out from a distance (2ndpic). Although if your walls are grey anyway it won't matter.

[popgun]

Bah, too late, he released it.

[dose]

THX!!!
EDIT: I have try to work with mipmap but i don't know how to save it good ?
I never use mipmap to do my mods .
how can i save it when i have modify my StadiumCircuitD with the way you show here?


because when i save it and watch ingame , its not good, i see all the layers


how do i avoid this ?

[popgun]

Open your *S.dds file and show mipmaps. Modify the mipmaps as above. Save it but this time choose 'Use existing MipMaps'.
That's it!

[dose]

thx, popgun!!

iI have tried with my egypt mod and it worked, but with the circuitD in my ME mod, its not working.
I think its because its white (hard to get light from white) + I have made the ambiant light (transparent, to get rid of the orange reflection), so the lightning dont show on blocks.

I have change the lightsun a bit , so now its more bright from one side of the stadium (the opposite side of the sun).
it give's a small reflection !

[Igntul]

yay, then i guessed right with hawk's (kryw will be pleased) hint^^

[dose]

Can you tell me if you can find the name and theme of my Last work on a mod ?

here's a first hint (the picture is crop and will be cropping off until it gets to a full picture)



***second hint "100 years old"


EDIT: GOT THE IMAGE A BIGGER HINT

[Promaxer]

i have no idea...

[Promaxer]

anyway, ive been making my mod also, can you try guessing the game?

[dose]

dho! hell yeah, i know what mod you are working!im extracting the texture at the moment

can you find it if i give a bigger square of the image like this ?
