Shadow Warrior Voxel Pack

[Mxrtxn]

Here´s some pictures of the process of making the lamp voxel:








Here´s how it looks like in the game, still needs pivot fixing, arrange colors, the shape of the black part of the lamp etc. I barely have time, however it will be finished!




Still looking forward a deathmatch against you Rob and Maligned... hope steam make the multiplayer for shadow warrior soon...

Right on Good to see some more work towards the voxels.

The base of the lamp strikes me as a bit large but could just be me.
Here is the lamp from the HRP.

Here is the lamp from the HRP.

While making the voxels I am trying to be the most loyal as possible to the original 2d sprite. Here´s the original sprite and the voxel side to side:




As you can see in the original 2d sprite, the gray base of the lamp is longer in terms of pixels, so when converting them into voxels I had to keep the same proportion as in the sprite.

The black part of the lamp is a pain in the ass to make as it is round and has a diagonal disposition and voxels are square so it will be time consuming as well.

By the way HRP automatically replaces the voxels with the correspondent polimer in case there´s no polimer the voxel stays.

Here´s how it looks so far in the game (pivots fixed, still gotta fix the rotation colors etc etc):




Picture below: This is the same voxel (not rotated at all) in level 2 Zilla´s Construction, unlike in level 1 Seppuku Station the orientation of the lamp looks good. However if I change the rotation so it looks good in level 1 it would look odd in level 2 or other... that is an echoe when making voxels, unfortunately.




Thanks for the support

[Robman]

I figured that was the case, good work it looks awesome

[Mxrtxn]

Continuing this thread here you have some pictures of the making of the metal drums:











Doing this pixel by pixel takes ages!

More pictures soon

[Robman]

thank heavens it's only got to be done once! .. When you're done with the voxels someday you should get into building some maps

[Mxrtxn]

Here some more. This is very time consuming so I will take a little break after this...





In game:





Side to side with the original 2d sprite (still incomplete by the way):





P.S. I will need some help finding the part of the shadow warrior game code where the candle animation is. So far I made the three voxels of the candle animation, but I cannot make an animated candle voxel animation like the ripper heart voxels...

[Corvin]

What do you mean "the part of the game code"?

I'm not sure you can animate voxels unless they where built into the game already. But I am unsure.

I know like a switch can be replaced I think with another voxel/switch.

Is there more to this?

No, there is no more to that...

I thought if I could find the code that animates the ripper heart I could copy-paste and replace it in the part of the candles animation but with the candle voxels. Just that.

Is it possible to modify the game like that?

[Corvin]

Well i don't see a way to animate the voxels as it sits now...

To modify the game I would ask Hendricks266 about that.

If you can, please do so!

It would be great if I could voxelize the animated sprites

Thanks Corvin

[Corvin]

heh, well I posted it on the duke4 forum, but its I think it might be beyond what hes willing to do.

How many frames/complete voxels does the voxel ripper heart have? is it 2? cause that would be normal, one swapper out for the other.

Where your candle has 3 voxels? that would be unusual.

Yes the ripper heart has two voxels to the correspondent two ripper heart 2d sprites.

The candle has 3 2d sprite so I made the 3 correspondent voxels.

If he can´t I don´t mind be the one modifing the original game as long someone would indicate me how to edit and modify it...

Do you happen to have the link to the duke4 forum where you asked the question?


Thanks Corvin

[Robman]

I think that's just done with .kvx files .. meaning the game stitches together multiple voxels to make the animation.

just find out the corresponding voxel #'s or names and replace... I think.

[Corvin]

No response yet but here's the post.

@robman, I think he tried that already. Just not that simply I don't think.

I did that Rob, but only one voxel is seen. It appears "fixed" and without changing into the other voxels...

Thank you Corvin

[Mxrtxn]

Guys as I told you before progress is slow due to personal echoes but the voxel pack will continue...

Here´s another "making off" pic, to let you know I am still alive



Here´s another one:



Take care, see ya

Martin

[Mxrtxn]

I´ll leave you with one more:



By the way:

Could you guys play sw with maligned?

[Corvin]

They look good Martin. The desk lamp looks like its coming along great.

All the voxels are awsome playing in game btw

Thanks Corvin I appreciate your support.

By the way the greenish tones in this voxel are part of the original sprite. I kept it that way as I am trying to be as closest to the original sprite as possible.

Here´s the same voxel practically finished:



More to come in the future.

[Mxrtxn]

A new update of this Shadow Warrior Voxel Pack:



More to come in the future

Update:

another view without the pink dots

[Mxrtxn]

Remember the orientation echoe of the lamp voxel. Unfortunately it will happen as well with the samurai helmet voxel.

What looks good on level 01 Seppuku Station looks like this in level 08 Zilla´s Villa:



By the way this voxel is not finished yet, hence the purple dots.

the trash can voxel is practically ready but I don´t wanna spoil the surprise.

[Mxrtxn]

Here´s how it looks in level 1 Seppuku Station (same orientation)



still needs some fixes before release.

By the way is there any way to contact the team who is making the addon Deadly Kiss?


Thanks

[Robman]

does the right one have some pixels missing?

[Corvin]

Contact Hendricks266 at duke4 forums or his web site for Deadly Kiss stuff.

The original sprite is not in a front view. Nevertheless yes there are some changes I have to make in the orange part of the helmet.

By the way I finished one of the switches that didnt have voxels.

Won´t spoil the surprise with a screenshot so you´ll see it in the coming update

Thanks Corvin!

I didn´t know Hendricks was working in the addon himself, thanks again.

[Mxrtxn]

By the way I prepared some cool extra voxels as a sort of bonus track for the next update:





Stay tuned

[Mxrtxn]

Corvin and the rest. I need your help!

Does the following sprite ever appears in a Shadow Warrior level or the addons?





Thanks in advance


Martin
