Title: A few questions
Post by: Microfloof on September 10, 2013, 07:51:00 am
Heyy. So I was wondering how to make items since I'm working on a FH project, which includes public maps, markings, items, meshes, etc. Now I heard you need a Blender software or something, but how do you use it? Is there any other information about it? I'm pretty sure you need to code the names into something like items.cfg like you do for markings, is that right? I'm eager to get this package out for everyone to use but items and meshes are my main problem.

Heightmaps: I know how to make heightmaps, don't worry. But what was the old heightmap generator program called?
Objects: I can only mess around in the Object Maker, which doesn't work for me. I need a blender xD
Items: HAAAAAALLLPPP
Markings: Done and dusted.

I made one of the markings last night ;w;

I know an item making tutorial in Blender 2.49. You will need this version of Blender to understand it: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jk7dnpj65khlj43/Blender_Foundation.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/download/jk7dnpj65khlj43/Blender_Foundation.zip) and Python 2.5 It comes with the .mesh importer and exporter so you don't need to download those. And you will need to download this: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/ (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/)



This tutorial below is for IT servers but it is the exact same as Feralheart. Download this: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/OgreXmlConverter (http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/OgreXmlConverter) Following the tutorial I've posted, import the Feralheart canine/feline model to build your item on.



Here's the tutorial: http://kito.forum.com.bz/t199-how-to-make-items-in-blender (http://kito.forum.com.bz/t199-how-to-make-items-in-blender) Ignore the part about adding armatures and bones. You may need to register to see the images?



When you have exported your item as a .mesh then you need to refer to this tutorial to code the item: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17302.0 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17302.0)

Thank you! This seems complicated but I'll give it a go and see what's in it for me. <3
