Violation Entertainment

This is a little thread for people who can contribute just about anything they want to. This involves graphics that will be used for features like graffiti, posters, coffee mugs, food items, clothing, just about anything. Like little product placements. There are just a few guidelines of course:- 1....

"Big thanks! Three last questions that I forget to ask: 1. Most of single player TC for Quake 4 (QuakeRemix, Missing in Action, ect.) is dead, in fact. How many chances that you finish you work on Shadowing Hate?" - Unless I die in the next few months you can expect to have a small deathma...

I was asked to give an interview on http://www.QuakePlanet.ru , a Russian Quake 4 site, about Shadowing Hate, so I thought I would post it here too as more public info about the project, as the interview may most likely end up shortened and translated to Russian on the website. ---------------------...

Heheh well it stirs up conversation here, at least

Well we here is simple indie folk. I had a quick read and I don't like talk of trying to squeeze more dollars out of gamers when it's already well good enough if they even pay real money to play the game in the first place, it's greedy to take advantage of gamers that way, make them play to earn the...

That took a lot longer than I thought it would have, I'm sorry, but finally all 550Mb (roughly) has been uploaded in ZIP files to the development folders, which, this time, also includes most of the development files too, everything except the large _bump texture files (x2 res used to make normalmap...

Tried updating the forum, but with my severe lack of netweb knowledges, did make happen problems bad. But now is back! Thanks to the genius skills of Incinerator, whom to which and therefore hereby a million thanks. Will post the latest shots all in another thread. I won't attempt to play around wit...

Here's a small deathmatch map I've been working on, instead of that warehouse map I decided to go with something a little more varied that also involves some kind of warehouse too, although much smaller, more like a shed, so I've called this map "The Shed", and it?s actually more of a tour...

It's been a while since I've done a map like this, those skyscrapers are huge objects, pretty much to proper scale with the player, if not bigger, when you move around inside this little office you can get a true feel for the size, which is important. Also, the quality is pretty much there with ever...

Well, it couldn't last forever. Up until now, we've been pretty relaxed about people coming and going, and registering here without effort or hassle, but that's just not the way the world works, what can you do? We've been getting increasingly abused from different angles and I can't take it anymore...

That's right, the projects have now all been uploaded. If you're on the team and developing, then you should already know where to go and what to do to get them onto your hard drive, and if you're interested in joining the team and checking it out, then please post in the recruiting threads about yo...

Sure! You've done a good variety of work, so I've updated your permissions so you can look through the rest of the forum now. Welcome!

You can, that's all handled with map scripts and I'm pretty sure you can use one of a few different methods. You can disable entire shader passes, or you can target RGB values (so if something is an additive blend as light effects usually would be, then an RGB value of 0 will make it invisible), or ...

Here's a stained-glass effect set I've wanted to try out for a while now. This is a hack, this is no Unreal 3 level effect so you won't get colourised light actually casting through the glass from some dynamic light source on the other side, although it works reasonably well as a static effect and w...

The floor in that pic is using a mirror, but you're right, I'll do up an x-grate lightshader real soon.

Here's a light beam effect I've been experimenting with for a while in a number of different ways. This is the way I'll do it. You might need to brighten this pic to see what is going on, against a white background in the daytime you might not see it. It's pretty expensive so it won't be a common fe...

In relation with the other threads about texture quality elsewhere in the forum, here's an in-game video of some new textures. It's supposed to be a shiney marble texture, but not quite achieving that just yet. Each tile is 128x128 units (housing 512x512 textures) in-game, so it's not that the textu...

Almost the complete texture set for Chaos Circuits will be redone at this point, because we're not using bumpmapping for this project just yet and the textures just aren't looking real nice for the time being, so I've made a start. I'll render through each of the textures to bake lighting and shadow...

I really like this idea, rather than shoot it 1000 times or find the secret switch to make its guts explode. I like the idea of weak spots that would perhaps only be exposed at certain times, and stuff like that. I'm sure it's possible, even if it means splitting the boss into separate parts, we'll ...

We can do spline shaping with the terrain mesh, that works really nicely and all, but it's not the same as having enclosed shapes like DIFs for continuous driving environment with those kind of curves. You can apparently use Radiant to make DIFs, although that's strictly not for commercial purposes ...

It turns out I have played this, it's pretty good. To be honest, this is the kind of thing we're having a lot of trouble achieving:- http://www.sg.hu/kep/2001_09/megarace3_hir0924_03.jpg The editors for the engine really have their limitations with curved+curved surfaces with proper collision and ju...

Yep. It's called Chaos Circuits and if you can help us out then that would be great. I've never played Megarace but I'll try to track it down. You're welcome to check out more of the forum now and tell us what you think

I finally got around to cheesily benchmarking the textures for performance comparisons and I thought I'd make it public too. As you can see by these 2 shots the idea of the compromise in performance balances out the enhancement of quality, so you get pretty much what you pay for by doubling texture ...

There will definitely be destructible objects and other objects that can be interacted with to create cover and perhaps use to jump on top of to reach other areas, but as for taking down walls and large structures, unless it's scripted into the level to happen at a certain point, I really doubt we'l...

Please eat Lucky Noodle! One of many little establishments needed in the 'metro' missions, although most of them won't be as ridiculous as this one, we'll hide this around a corner somewhere I think.

Hey there, you're welcome into the forums and into the projects. I tried to contact you through ICQ but no response, maybe you didn't get my IMs. No problem. We'll figure something out. Anything you can post of yours at all would really help.

Some birdsies to fly around in the sky. They're made up of 3 cross-section sprites, with the wing texture having a special shader properties to move it around and does a pretty decent job of making it look like it's flapping and sustaining flight. I haven't had much luck getting it all together to r...

Sounds great, very clear and it seems you have a wide range of characters and emotions, so it would definitely be great to have your talents in our project. To start with, we'll probably focus on the samples for the police force. If you head down to the audio sections, there is some discussion about...

Everything I've seen of yours so far is excellent and you have such great talent and attitude, so it's a real honour to welcome you into the team. I just hope you won't find the same lack of planning and direction here, I've tried to create a solid direction while leaving it open enough for people t...

And finally, a proper in-game video from a small but significant piece of map from much later in the singleplayer missions, a tiny hidden cellar beneath a quiet little country house. Not sure how the rest of the map will be constructed because it's supposed to be snowing outside with wide open views...

This is something I've been tweaking for ages now, the full-mission water for an ocean-themed racing environment. The water "block" has a number of different abilities to play around with, so far I think this one is the best I can get it looking, and it still really doesn't look very good ...

There will be a video of this soon when the light shaders are tweaked.

Here are some in-game video files, ice textures (at close range), high-detail cinematic character model. This is really straight from the Quake 4 engine and this level of detail will be used for controlled close-range cinematic cuts. http://www.violationentertainment.com/temp/SHice060201.wmv - 2.8Mb...

Sure thing, you've already got permission to go into the dev topics, you'll find info there how to start making stuff for the project(s). It hasn't been updated for a long time but getting close to it.

A quick shot of the new female version base model. What an improvement over the last one, I must say, although I know I still don't have many of the proportions correct, infact, I think I've gone about doing the upper-torso/shoulder area all wrong and may need to redo it all. I'll keep messing aroun...

Here's the new Shadowing Hate title, just as I'd sketched it out. This is a very cheap wallpaper so it's not very clear, I'll do some more work on the material.
http://www.violationentertainment.com/t ... 060112.jpg

Well finally another head texture for the base model, which I guess officially makes it a non-base work. The original photos were desperately undersized, I tried to make a 1024x1024 texture from 800x480 photos, of which the guy filled approximately a quarter of each shot, so this will need a bunch o...

A quick post about the new Shadowing Hate logo, this is merely the general shape, extruded and meshsmoothed, it doesn't represent what it will finally end up as but this is what the shape is like:- http://www.violationentertainment.com/temp/ShadowingHate.jpg Also some changes to the documentation, a...

The first 2 in-game screenshots have been posted on the site now, a few more will follow shortly.
http://www.violationentertainment.com/g_cc.html

So the word has been sent out that Shadowing Hate is now fully operational in Quake IV, all media was converted over so easily, the main thing was changing any references from "base" to "q4base" and most of the maps need relighting, there are some changes with fog and mirrors tha...

Despite the cobwebs and tumbleweed rolling around, the team is not dead, at least not just yet. In about 3 weeks from now, just before my little christmas break, I will finally release the new in-game shots. I won't repeat myself on progress, check the journal for that info, just posting here that p...

I like those shots apart from the lighting and maybe some choice of textures, but I like the ideas and styles. You can now go into the dev section of the forum and into "general" of either project to find the development information. There will be some updates in the "base" real ...

Using the Torque editor would be a bit similar to the FarCry editor, I would imagine, you deal with mostly terrain and prefabs. You can now go into the dev section of the forum and into "general" of either project to find development information.

Welcome. This is where team members and other people involved in these projects discuss the important issues and make decisions. Anyone is welcome as long as they can at least give some constructive feedback. You'll need to at least register here in order to post and see the private threads, but don...
