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 !?

Can i try guessing dose???

i know it without that big sign^^

but i let the others guess

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

lol, promaxer, nooooo

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

LOL ^^ trunk

me? oO where?

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?

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

I know this is a fantastic wallpaper :phatgrin:

Yeah...its the right pic Occam

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:

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

Do you mean more like this?



or this?

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.

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.

Bah, too late, he released it.

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 ?

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!

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 !

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

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

i have no idea...

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

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 ?
