Saturday Morning Adventures Prep

I'll get on them, but hopefully you don't need them really soon.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks man!  No, there's no hurry.  I have what I need for the immediate future.

[BentonGrey]

Howdy folks, does anyone know anything about FX speed and what controls when different pieces of an FX show up?  I've been working on custom FX for the major characters, and things are coming along fairly well.  However, I am having some trouble with how long pieces are displayed and such, as well as the order in which things show up. 

Here's Lion-O's Thundercats Ho! FX (complete with sound clip from the show!).  The Thundercats symbol only lasts for a second, and I'd like the ground FX to trigger first.  Anyone have any ideas?

:EDIT: Okay, I found this explanation from SA, and this is pointing me in the right direction.  I'll probably have more questions as I tackle it, though:
https://www.freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=60886.msg831940#msg831940

SA came through for me and helped me (slowly) figure this out.  I managed to get the FX doing what I wanted.

[BentonGrey]

Hey folks, does anyone know of any FX that could serve as Mon*Star's (from Silverhawks) "Light Star" projectile?  It's a multi-pointed translucent star.  We've got stars, but do we have any that are translucent?

  I had made it at one point but I lost it. I'll add it to my fx list to make and upload.

[BentonGrey]

That's a shame!  Thanks, man!

Hey folks, here's a bit of a random question.  I'm making a ton of custom FX for the mod (and Cranlox is helping out tremendously on the stuff I can't manage myself), and I'm doing a lot of experimentation.  I tried to take a beam FX and copy it in Nifskope so there would be two beams.  I got two beams alright, but one of them went off in a random direction, rather than going in the same direction as the main FX.  Does anyone know if there is a way to get two separate beams, or does that just sorta' cause problems?

[deanjo2000]

I cant help on the fx?? sorry.
But i have done these.
The Neutrinos.


They are skoped over SA's mondo mesh.
I have some ideas for kala but she wont have her board.

[BentonGrey]

Hey, the Neutrinos!  They look great, Dean!  You really captured their insane hairstyles!

[cranlox]

Very well done

[oldmanwinters]

The two Neutrinos look tubular!  Far Out, Daddi-O!

[BentonGrey]

Howdy folks, I'm starting on my builds for the He-Man characters.  Taking inventory, I seem to have pretty much everything I need except for Teela.  Has anyone done her?:

Green Goddess and Snake variants would be cool too!

[deanjo2000]

I'm sure I've seen one but don't have her in any of my files. I'm sure I could get her done though.

[BentonGrey]

Dean, that'd be awesome.  Thanks, man!

Winters, I actually don't know much about the character, beyond the 2002 series, so I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind.

[DoctorRuina]

I have an fv_teela mesh.

[BentonGrey]

Could you send that my way, DR?  You can send it to username@yahoo.com

Hey folks, working on the MOTU characters, I'm finding several of them need key tweaking.  I'm starting with Beastman.  He's got killarilla keys.  Does anyone know if anything is compatible with them?

Also, thinking of everyone's favorite shaggy doofus, what might make some good beasts for Beastman to summon?  I just watched an episode of the 2002 series where he called on gargoyles, and I think we might have something around that could do for them.  What else?

[spydermann93]

what about some of Cmdrkoenig's DnD stuff from the old FRP2 site?

[DoctorRuina]

I have uploaded it to my mediafire. But I think we could try to make another version

[DoctorRuina]

I think this Beastman works with the male_heavy keyframes.

[DoctorRuina]

What about these animals?

[DoctorRuina]

That mesh had bugs. I did some repairs

[BentonGrey]

Hey, does anyone have TMX's old Marvel/DC RPG conversion chart for FF?

Thanks, guys, some good ideas!  The DnD beasts could probably serve in some fashion.  I'm thinking the Hook Horrors look rather Eternian.

Maybe shadow beasts?:
https://he-man.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_Beast

They would fit perfectly on the shurale mesh, just needing a darker-furred skin.

Yeah, I see what you mean about that Teela, DR.  Thanks for fixing the skope for me!  She looks good, but she wouldn't quite fit in with the other meshes and skins.

:Edit: Also, thanks for linking to that Write-Ups site! I've been having a devil of a time finding concrete info about the abilities of these guys, and this is perfect!

Ah, I see.  I have that same Beast Man, but I must have a DM skope, where he put the fellow on the Killarilla mesh.  That's a good fit, so I hate to lose the whip keys and such, but I don't know if anything is compatible, so I may have to.  Good to know I have another option.

[cranlox]

There is a beastman imported by DM that is great, I have that one as my favorite.
I owe you fx if you can remind me which ones! he would be great.
I could upload something to this Shadow beast to put a skeleton on it, I was with a similar ape from Star Trek that RD liked.

[BentonGrey]

Cranlox, is that DM one the one with the whip and the Killarilla keys?  That's the one I was talking about.  I like it too, but it doesn't give me many animation options for building his HF.

FX, here's the list: https://www.freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=56643.msg838004#msg838004
Thanks again!

Shadow beast: I know the one you're talking about, but I think the FF2 shurale is a pretty perfect match for these guys.  I think all we need is a simple recolor of the skin.

[cranlox]

Hey, does anyone have TMX's old Marvel/DC RPG conversion chart for FF?

As a matter of fact.....

Emailed it to you.

[deanjo2000]

Didn't naitvalis do a shadow beast with his heman stuff?

[BentonGrey]

Thanks, WF!

Nice job on the head, Cranlox!

Hmm, Dean, I don't remember.  Anyone else know?

:Edit: Is Nait's stuff hosted anywhere these days?

[spydermann93]

Dean is right; Nait had Shadow Beasts as well as Eternian Palace Guards. I had completely forgot about those!

Looks like his site is down, atm

This is his old site: http://epimethee.webfactional.com/ff/naitvalis/

Maybe the wayback machine will work.

[WyldFyre]

I have Nait's stuff from motu et. al.

I'll try to get them up to mediafire.

edit: here you go - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ffr8khqxnvgpm/Naitvalis
