Well the semester is comming to an end, and I have had some free time. I went to work on NS some more, but the editor is not letting me open my NS files...

But I have begun a project that I hope will satisfy you.

Trait 17

Step into the role of Sgt. Evan Baker. A well respected officer in the city of Raven's Hill. Having recently settled with his divorce, Evan is now living in a small, one room apartment on the northside of the city. Evan returns home from a long shift and collapses onto his bed for some much needed rest. He continues to have trouble sleeping at night. Thoughts of his daughter, Grace, fill his head menacingly. How he longed to see her. During the night, Evan hears many loud thuds throughout the apartment complex, but shrugs it off, for he is used to having loud neighbors. But as the night progresses, Evan is awakened by loud shrieks comming from the hallway. Evan realizes that the back-up generators have been activated. Grabbing his flashlight, and duty-issued firearm, Evan opens his door, and steps into the darkness...

DEMO LEVEL 1-3:
http://files.filefront.com/Trait+17+Demo+Levels+1+3rar/;13227629;/fileinfo.html






















I plan to implement Bond1's high quality zombie models into the game as soon as I get some spare cash. Let me know what you think.

Thanx for the comments

@ BETA - I'm not going to charge for the game, so I dont think theres any violation with the posters. If there is can someone let me know.

Couple new screens before I head to work. After you make it to the ground level of your apartment, you'll have to go through the parking structure.. with the lights out





As you can see here, someone wasnt too lucky when this chevelle came roaring out of the parking structure

It's a very overused image. I've seen it on google, but not sure where it's from.

Looks really good Twitch Tweak. I like the contrast between the bright lights in your room and the dark, grungy building.

Thanks for the compliments guys I really appreciate it. Yeah the first image was thrown together in a matter of minutes, and that was the first decent image I saw I'll work on a better cover image when I get the chance. I'll try to post some more pics tomorrow

Very nice, dude! Keep up the good work.
One comment though, I don't think anyone would hang a zombie-flick poster right by their bed, especially not with the staring face and all.
I'd either move it a bit to the left of the bed, or a bit more up. Other than that, it looks great!

Thanx for the support fellas.

@ Rampage - Yes I did the cover art myself, as far as adding to the zombie pic, I plan on making a better one though

@ BETA - I'm gonna release a demo of level 1 as soon as I get it all thrown together.

@ puppy of kosh - Well it look empty because its the drive-in to the parking structure, so its supposed to remain open for cars to drive in and out of. I'm gonna add a little more trash and such but it's gonna stay pretty open for obvious reasons

Well here's a quick pic I threw together that will probably serve as the main title screen. I plan on having most of the pics throughout the game to ave that sort of comic book feel to them. Let me know what you think..

Picture one of the outside is excellent. The bright light with the darkness surrounding it. The sky and the dark areas kind of blend in with one another. It gives off a great atmosphere.

Thanks for the comments guy

Heres a quick pic when Evan calls his Ex to see if his daughter and her are okay.

Removed for the swear word

Like I said I'm going for that comic book feel for menus and scenes.

I got the image off the internet, much like the picture from before with the gun and ammo, and just used an ink sketch effect to give it the comic book look to it.

Well level 1 is just about complete, and I plan on releasing a demo as soon as it is. Here's a couple quick shots of the main menu, and first loading screen that I just threw together.

This looks really nice! But one suggestion: If you're using latest version of FPSC, the load times will be much, much shorter meaning that most of the people won't have enough time to read a long text.. so if I were you, I'd shorten the loading screen texts a bit.

...looks very nice. I like the look a great deal.

You seriously need to edit the last dialogue balloon on the Telephone Call Hud screenshot...

It's tapdancing down the fine line of an AUP slap...

Thanks for the support.

@ Juzi - Yeah I wasnt thinking about that. Good Idea, I'll probabaly just take out the paragraph and put it as a quick intro when you start playing.

@ Seth - Ah yeah wasnt thinking when I typed that. In all reality that's probably what I would say if a zombie outbreak was happening so thats why I put it in there, I'll edit that

It all worked fine it test game but now that I've built it the textures for mp9/10 arent showing up, just white hands and guns, and a few bricks didnt have any textures either.. any solutions?

Check to see if the texture files for the guns have even been included. If you have full shaders switched on, check your textures have the correct suffixes ("_D.dds", "_N.dds" etc)

Hi, you need to manually copy the textures from your model packs guns folder over to the ones you have in the built game, its a problem with EAI guns because they use multi-textures. If you look in any of model packs 9 and 10's gun folder you will find a read-me for further instructions. Thanks!
