We've already finished the Pain Tower con/destruction models, they are textured as well.

You need to keep updated, this is your mod! :-\
Also, you may want to 7-zip it instead of zipping it.

Ok Morlock is modelled and textured.

658 polies
512x512 texture

Texture was a little rushed and I wouldn't mind redoing it at a later date but it should be okay as a place holder.

Beautiful Morlock. I'm not so sure about the hair on its arms, but otherwise it looks great.

Dark Magic v 7.1

Wciow, I love the morlock, by the way.  I can’t wait to play with it.

Arch, I didn't know there was already construction and deconstruction models, but download what Mark made and see what you think.  I really like it, anyways.

Here is what's missing from that release:

http://download889.mediafire.com/ko3cbcmrcz9g/zzfmiyyhjmm/missing_12-29-09.7z

Sheol Temple (destruction model and new version of construction), Shadow Walker (complete unit), Divination Crystal (the version that doesn't suck), Harpy (complete unit), Sorcery Runes (with the useless polygons removed and team color added)

Models we still need:

Blood Fountain: construction and destruction models
Divination Crystal: construction and destruction models, texture
Oblivion Portal: construction and destruction models

Also, the Gods Bane has some garbage polygons on the bottom that need to be gotten rid of on it's regular and construction models.

The 7.1 release seems to be missing the pain tower?  :-\

I fixed up about 15 errors and added John's extra stuff but the tech tree is screwed and half of the units are unavailable because of the missing pain tower.

That's the reason this is behind, the releases have lots of issues and never seem to be up-to-date.
Then people act on old information, and do something that's already been done.
You guys are in control of the mod, not the other way around.......right? :-\

Although Marks Pain Tower models are quite nice.

I will take a look at all of this stuff, and thanks, John, for making it easier for me with the download there.

I also will have to look at the divination crystal you made, titi, but I expect to be pleasently surprised. ;)

oh nooo
I used the old divination model .... damn, the first post isn't up to date any more

Who ever made this new model, its much much better, so my work is useless ....
I have no blend file for the new model and I cannot make texture and models without it.
Please, can someone make a new up to date release and update the model downloads on the first post?
I cannot help you if my work is based on old things.

Don't worry.  I'm currently using your new texture for the improved Divination Crystal model.

This is what it currently looks like in the g3d viewer (so it may be a little less dark in Glest):

I splitted the original object into 2 objects. The ball/crystal was made transparency by lowering the alpha of the material. This looks a bit like a soap bubble. Inside was some kind of skull/devil/monkey head. You should do the same here ( maybe without the skull ) to make it look better.

You know the drill.


Like that?

And for some reason, the stone shows up behind the bubble, but the skulls don't.  Maybe because they're one-sided?

Bloodfountaine with construction/destruction. ( construction isn't really looking good :/, maybe we should use original glest ones )
http://www.titusgames.de/darkmagic/blood_fountaine/blood_fountaine.zip

@john: did you use alpha channel in the texture, or did you lower the material alpha in blender? That's a big difference, because alpha textures doesn't work well in glest, but transparent objects work! Here you can get an idea of it: https://docs.megaglest.org/Transparent_teamcolor

New Harpy texture. I just finished making a new harpy texture. It was kinda complicated since I didnt have the original map but I works well and adds a new level of detail onto johns model with a few modifications. The hair is now something like the initiates hat the orange clothes are now black and we have new details made with dodge/burn

I'll implement it ASAP.  I'm now in the process of uploading each individual model sorted in .zip's by unit.  Then the OP will be updated to make everyone's life easier. ;)

Calm yourself.  I've had a hard time staying updated, but the next release will be better.  I promise. :-[

The destruction model is definitely usable, but I agree that the construction could use some improvement.

I tried both, actually.  I settled on changing the alpha value in Blender, though.

Do you like the texture? I like it, although its very colorfull for this faction. Keep in mind that its only one building which looks like this and I think by this its ok.

I'll have to take a look at it in Glest when I'm done animating it, since I lost the original blend and had to use the g3d.  Luckily the animations were really simple, so I should be able to redo them very easily.  I think it will look fine, though.

I'll be heading out of town for a day or two for New Year's, so I trust the rest of you to keep things from falling apart while I'm gone. :)

Good texture.

However, it seems to me that the biggest thing punishing dark magic is the lack if organization. Things are behind, new models/units/etc can be released but won't make it into the new Dark Magic simply because nobody knows of them. When GLADE does its next mod, we definitely need a better method of communication, etc;

(Speaking of next projects, count me in, since I still am unsuccessful with GAE, which prevents me from go to FPM like I originally planned).

I know. I have ONE more scenario to do, but the fact that GAE doesn't work hinders me severely. See my post in the military topic (seeing this is the Dark Magic topic, this is very OT and I appologize).
