Started a pack called Zombie Town. All the recent talk of models got to me I guess. I'm posting more so for motivation than anything else. I find it makes me do more if others know about it. Kind of like when you try to quit smoking. Anyway...

The concept will be an old town setting, not too run down and still functional. It will be as if it was busy yesterday and deserted today. I think that plays well into the zombie way of things. Here is the beginning of the first establishment, the gas station. This took me about 10 hours, so don't expect it to be done anytime soon. I'm slow and my other speed is "Stop".



As always, C&C is welcome. And as my mother used to say, "If you don't like it then lump it!"

Brian.

I like it. Seems like your theme would work really well for general natural disaster/depressed economy settings too.

Life gives me gas but you gotta do it. Isn't that what the Nike ad is all about?

Thanks Chupa cabra. Small town is what I'm shooting for.

Turn on post processing!

Thanks sic1ne and spudnick!

Quote: "looking good mate if you need any help just let me know"

Thanks HH, but your models would look out of place in my "low rent" pack. Congrats on the new "Toilet Plunger" award!

Quote: "Seems like your theme would work really well for general natural disaster/depressed economy settings too."

exactly, but much too difficult to spell.

Quote: "you going to do the building to go with?"

Yes, I'm working a few different options now. I'd like to create a building "front" type setup that can be added to an "FPSC segment" shell that you build normally. As soon as I have a system down, I'll show you what I mean.

Brian.

Here is the concept I'm thinking of on the buildings. It's a fake front with normal segments behind. I still have some tweaking to do. If it works well, I'll make a variety of fake windows, doors, signs, etc for them. You can always enter through a normal segment door on the side or back like a thief.

nice job xp, I see you changed the texture of the pumps base, looks much better I think

Not sure about the overhang for door, bit boxy but sir henry of hams new supermarket media will look just right next to the repair section.

what with the walking dead and a hard-up economy the price of gas/petrol could be high, maybe a price sign?

... until I see something shiny. I'm actually taking a break from a new program that was killing my brain.

Try eating some. They seem to give others gas.

Quote: "Not sure about the overhang for door"

I know. I've decided to make the faces as generic as possible, and I'll make up some nice overhangs when I make the signs and stuff. Then you'll have more options and the faces can be used for a multitude of things by just changing the windows, signs, overhangs, etc.

Quote: "maybe you should change your Recipie"

Yes, perhaps leave out the beans? Thanks ZP.

Oooh! Haven't seen models from you in a while!

The gas station looks great, there's a very distinct feel to it. Looking forward to seeing the pack progress

Life would be much easier if I had the source code.

Interesting approach. Is the front all one piece? I'm curious to know how that will play with Dark AI path finding. If it's not to much trouble, can you turn on showaioutlines in setup.ini and take a screenshot showing the white lines? I think it should be fine but I'm curious to know for sure.

@Errant AI, yes the face is all one piece. I've attached a screen shot with showaioutlines turned on. I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Thanks Braden 713 and Tanya!

The white lines show the boundaries for the Dark AI, from your picture I can see that the Dark AI won't be able to move in and out of your building. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the model being all one piece.

Last week while Kravenwolf and I were working on our Defy Competition entry his sidewalk segment drew boundaries that stopped the AI from being able to walk on the sidewalk. His solution was to make the sidewalk 1 segment long(it was originally 2 segments long).

Another solution that might work would be to make an invisible door punch and attach it to the doorway of your segment. Dark AI boundaries will avoid drawing lines around doors so AI can move in and out.

The pulsing white lines are the path finding boundaries for DAI. They can not cross the white line (it's to keep them from clipping through walls and falling off the world). So, in that method, DAI won't be able to go through either of the doors on the front because they read it as a solid wall. However, if you split the front into two pieces and have a bottom section without horizontal obstructions and then a piece that grid snaps on top of that with the overhang it will probably work. That is if it's something you're concerned about in the first place.

If you take just normal segments and make a corridor and then put a door (with door punch) on the wall and look at the lines you can get a general idea of how the DAI boundaries are formed.

An editor snapshot of a park in the middle of Zombie Town. Still reworking textures and making new entities/segments.

Nice park. I assume that the pigeons that will appear in the park are also zombies?

Are those pay meters? Was not aware zombies even drove. Have to brush up on my zombie-history again.

On a serious note, looks good. We too are glad to see you back in action making media. Look forward to the rest of your progress. A shopping mall? A movie theatre? How about the First Zombie Bank?

As I've been sidetracked (again) with some coding, I've sent this to J Swain to add to the Community Modern Pack, which should be available around Christmas. Thanks to J Swain for her community spirit and support.

This can be locked if a MOD comes by.
