New Teleporter System screenshots!!

Ziroc · 02-01-2005, 05:02 PM

Here it is! The Teleporter from the my first IBM PC Game, Eye of the Beholder! [img]smile.gif[/img] This got you around the sewers of waterdeep in that game, so I thought, hey, they must have been in undermountain, so I decided to add it, and this will allow fast travel throughout all of Undermountain as long as you have one of the stone items to fit into the slots.

There will be 8 unique teleporters. each will have a missing block. If you have the item that goes in the missing block, that is the one to activate it. It won't be easy to find all 8 of these either. Some will be rewarded as quest items, some found in lairs of evil drow. Let me know what ya think!

I modeled this completely in 3DMAX, all new textures, and such. Took quite some time. I won't be showing the animation effect I'm working on. THATS A SECRET! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey that looks AWSOME!

Can't wait to try them out. To bad I have to wait a few more weeks till I get my new PC desk and my ADSL worked out.

Ecellent Z im gonne love porting around the place---after i find one of the stones of course [img]smile.gif[/img] Does this mean u gotta find a new stone each time u use it or are the stones are a multi use item ?

Nice! Can't wait to get time for the Undermountain again.

Valadius · 02-02-2005, 03:08 PM

Truely we are kindred souls, Z... I am most impressed. EOTB was one of my first pc rpg's, in fact i still have it on cd somewhere...

Ziroc · 02-02-2005, 05:27 PM

I have now finished the teleporter, and animated it upon activation! Animation is SO easy! I was thinking it would be a pain, by nope!

Although this is done, it won't show up in EfU until the rest of my stuff for my hakpak is completed, which will be pretty soon--this was the hardest placeable I have to do, and I wanted to get it out of the way early on...

It looks truly impressive, Ziroc. [img]graemlins/imnotworthy.gif[/img]

Holy WOW!!!

Hi Guys

I think that Ziroc has done an exceptional job with these Portals, just a pity they were not available a year ago.

Here is why,

http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/modules...93323338.shtml

take a look and see how I solved the Portal issue in a complete and faithful copy of EotB for NWN.

If you click the EotB game cover, there is a picture of the portals and you get an idea of how I built them. Check the game out if you want to see them working.

I have an idea of how you are going to animate the portals Ziroc, if I'm right they will look way cool.

One thing, any chance of extending the roof section so it extends over the upright pillars a bit while your finishing them off?

Cheers

Wolfspirit
