particlefonts for dp

[echos]

hey guys there was an old wip thread by seanstar where he was using a nexuiz particlefont, and the screenshots looked real cool. does anyone have the final version of his nexuiz particlefont and the effectinfo.txt file he made to go with it? his wip thread is marked as the project is finished but i didnt find any finished version of files or another thread in the finished section.

on another note, what part of the particlefont picture causes sparks, smoke, blood, etc. is there a standard layout for this file if i want to modify it myself? thanks

about the sparks and such, you can have this by using seven's small mod compilation:
http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod...mpilation.html

and yeah, sure i have his particlefont, here it is:
sean's particlefont

and it just works fine to just use the standard effectinfo from the smc with it


and about his thread, seanstar was such an ass to suddenly out of nowhere delete everything he made from the forum for no reason


EDIT: wait correction, you dont need the SMC mod to have the effects, but the smc does add a lot which vanilla quake normally doesnt have, like muzzle-flash and adding fancy effects to powerups and such.
but i have a version which i modified to work with vanilla quake without any mods which i use myself for online play, here is a copy of it:
effectinfo for vanilla quake in DP

you wont have all the effects with it that you have with the SMC, but all the ones that are possible in vanilla quake are there


(BTW sorry for all the edits, but i was trying to rush reply since i was busy with stuff, but i kept thinking of stuff )

I'm done posting files on this forum because of splitterface posting files ive worked on against my wishes. After posting these files without
asking, when I nicely asked to remove them you said basically, fuck you I'm doing a service...this made up my mind not to help ungrateful and
dishonorable people anymore.

got just 3 words for you sean:
GET OVER IT

[Baker]

The Nexuiz particle font is GPL. You modify it and distribute, you are granting a right to redistribute it.

End of story.

[If someone does not like the terms outlined in the GPL, don't modify a GPL work ...]

Thank you baker!

i don't understand what this is all about, you shared the files here yourself originally, you obviously wanted people to have them, why would it matter if someone posted a copy? i did ask you directly for them, but i didn't know if you would get my message so i asked the forum as well.

Hi Sean,

I do hope you reconsider. Although my rather limited hardware doesn't allow me to take full advantage of your excellent work, I'm sure others can and it is always pleasing (imho) to see a new and inventive approach taken to Quake to keep it fresh and interesting. Perhaps the comment wasn't intended to come over in the way it did?

We need all the talented contributors willing to share their works with the community that we can get so please don't let one incident put you off.

Kind regards

Monty

@baker

What do you know about it?...I never uploaded this particlefont with added flies, I sent it as a test version to two people
I thought were honest.


Its ok though, because the world is round and it all comes back around.


@burns
I'm done modding quake and playing video games in general...I do have some of the best monster skins
ever made for quake, but they wont get uploaded, you can thank splitterface for that.

@sean
oh yeah sure, so its my fault that you are an asshole?
im not the one who gave birth to you and raised you, thank your mum for that

and you obviously didnt read what baker said. GPL means its free for anyone to share no matter what you do to it. you shared it with me, gives me the right to share it with anyone i want

And that is true, some of the stuff you've done was awesome.

And enjoy the not playing video games thing.

@Sean


You're still trying to convince others what a GOD you are at modding Quake.
As Baker said you have made some beautiful things...BUT...don't let the door hit you in the behind on the way to no games or modding...sheesh...

[R00k]

I think Sean just means he has completed is goals in Quake and is moving on...

Though, most of the content from Sean is just cut/paste of other games. DOOM3 ?!
Sean you must expect people to share your work. Take it as a compliment. Even if you just modified someone's work to begin with.
And there's nothing wrong with that. This is a sharing community where assets are limited.

[foq]

LOL... Sean what the fuck is your problem man? Did you produce these things just to keep them under lock and key, never to see the light of day? You made something, you put it out there, why would you be upset that somebody is spreading your work? What, were you planning to sell it? I certainly hope not... I haven't ever seen anyone on this forum sell any work they've done for Quake, ever. (Don't think you could legally do that because of the GPL anyway.) He even credited you on it. It's not like splitterface came in and said "that guy's work is shit, check out my particlefronts instead <insert sean's particlefronts>". He straight up posted your work, gave you credit for it and that was that. And you're upset? Shouldn't you be happy that your work is being spread, used, even asked for?
