Hmmm, i may be stupid but not that stupid. I mean: whan i run server using cmd you wrote me and than open tremulous i cant find my server in local.

Code:

ERROR: G_ParseSpawnVars: found & when expecting {

This should probably be split off as a separate topic, in the Servers section maybe?  (Mods?  Anyone?  Bueller?)

That said, this error is 90% of the time (or more, I dunno for sure) indicative of a mismatched QVM and tremded.  You'll want to make sure the tremded executable you're running matches the QVM you're trying to run; for most modified servers, I believe this is TJW's tremded (available here.)

Yea that could be the problem try replacing yours with tjw's

cant find my server in local

edit:ohhhhhh i no what you meen.  You need to set it so you can see hidden files and folders.

Hmmm, i may be stupid but not that stupid. I mean: whan i run server using cmd you wrote me and than open tremulous i cant find my server in local. maybe it turns of or something? the blue consol is still open
(oh man i would realy like to have overcome this problems so i could finish my model)
Thanks for all your help Death_First
Should codes end in this way(in blue consol):

@Risujin: <3
@Rocinante, Death_First: Thanks a lot! It worked, it seem that i had old tremded.exe  hehehe now i can continue my works.
@Death_First: Yes you were right - model doesnt look so hot in game(but as a matter of fact it a miracle its working), have to improve model+texture+animations and get rid of this shine effect, but in the end i think it will look ok
Im planing to finish it (more or less) this weekend, though im not sure if i will be able as my brother from GB is visiting me.
For all who had played this mod Risujin posted here: -i love this midair jump though im still counting on realising all plans i had placed in summery.

[Death_First]

Thanks 

and good luck with the model!

Cant wait to see it

@Redsky:
What program are you using to make this?  If it is Blender, do you have a working md3 importer?  If so, can I have it???

Link seems to be down but it should be here (along with the exporter):

It's an import/export plugin and there is a link to it from that site. Unfortunately, it's down.

How is the project going?

No ones post in a while

The author said he s going to finish it more or less at the weekend , so it won't be long until he finishes it . Let s wait =]

* kotoko is looking forward to the new alien class.

So do i But serious: Im having a realy hard time right now.
About the project:... well i did twosided wings, but still i have some problems. My Blender or at least my exporter¹(or simply whole my pc) seems to be broken somehow. Whan im trying to do [Shift][Ctrl][N](recalculate normals inside) it doesnt realy do it right(some of them pointing outwards) and even if i corect it manualy:select vertex and use "recalculate normals inside", after exporting it to .md3 mesh is half visible...
@Risujin: you have fixed model last time could you fix this(or give me your exporter) i think this model has good wings  should look ok.
I havent done the texture though i have improved my skills in gimp (its realy hard to tell how models texture look like in game because of this flare-thing-effect (i mean it shines). so one more question: how to get rid of this effect
(in a sec ill give a download link for the model)http://files.filefront.com/nonsegzip/;9188004;/fileinfo.html

¹exporter's link was posted on 'Help with BLENDER needed!' thread but now link is broken

Edit: i got strange feeling that noone is interested in doing it anymore =,=" kind of depressing

[daenyth]

I just wanted to say that I'm very happy someone with an idea actually is working on making it happen instead of being all "zomg devs need to code dis mod for mes!"

+1, I'll help test it if I you give me a client that works with it.

[firebladez212]

new alien class.. lol

[Redsky]

I'll help test it if I you give me a client that works with it.

i dont mind you testing it, but to say the truth, codes arent done yet... And i hope someone will speak to me, becouse if nobody will it may mean that im left all alone with it

[benmachine]

Try this:

http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/vandal-1043-2-bp.pk3

put it in your vandal folder, open up a client, load the pk3, and /devmap niveus

It's an experimental physics model and early enough that I don't mind scrapping it and starting over. Basically, the faster you go the slower you fall. Use the rmb acceleration in combination with that and over a long enough runway you can take off.

I intend to take wallwalk off it eventually but might as well leave it there for now.
It needs a lot of work but is, I think, an interesting start.

[Death_First]

Nice Work 

btw: Does the ui and cg_thirdperson come with revision 1044?

@redsky: The model is glitched in this.

[benmachine]

btw: Does the ui and cg_thirdperson come with revision 1044?

The ui, yes. /cg_thirdPerson has always been there.

[Death_First]

rly but it always said cg_thirdperson is protected. w.e

The Vandal doesnt damage anything.  It doesn't even hit it it just swipes and nothing happens when i tried against a 

[Redsky]

sorry benmachine that i didnt believe in you (been kind of depressed lately)
Yes, indeed it's an interesting start, (im sure that i dont have to add anything about control during the flight as you know already what i got to say).
Ill finish fly animation (attack whan pointing up/down/strafing) and perfect walk animation.
Though this jet effect is realy funny sometimes, but the whole testing gave me a thrill. Keep on working... and maybe one day aliens will learn to fly

I told you to do devmap niveus rather than map niveus - devmap is cheats mode, used as the name suggests for developing. Hence you get cg_thirdperson to see models in play and cg_drawBBOX to see how their bbox lines up with the entity. Things like that.

The Vandal doesnt damage anything.  It doesn't even hit it it just swipes and nothing happens when i tried against a 

One thing at a time that's fairly easy to code, I just didn't bother. Will do for next release.

[daenyth]

Try this:
http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/vandal-1043-2-bp.pk3
put it in your vandal folder, open up a client, load the pk3, and /devmap niveus

Would that work for me too, or do you need a special server/client?

[Death_First]

No You can just use the regular tremulous client.

Just put the file in your base folder and /demap atcs

[daenyth]

Handy! Thanks

[Eli]

Well I dled it and placed it in my base folder, but every time i started trem it would crash, so I took it out and started up trem then moved it into the base folder and did /devmap atcs, and it loaded, but I got all sorts of funny errors, and it got rid of the whole HUD and it wouldnt let me activate any of the menues, escape didnt even work =/

[UniqPhoeniX]

If I placed that vandal file in base and then started trem, i couldnt see any menus. Only alt+enter worked. in console (the 1 that opens in other window, not the in game 1) were LOADS of errors about menu files.

[daenyth]

For those with errors it would be useful to note what client you have (stock, tjw backport, svn backport), and also make a pastebin of your errors. http://pastebin.ca

[benmachine]

If you're using a custom HUD you might need to disable it.

Also I recommend not placing the pk3 in base/ but making a new folder for it called vandal/ and then loading that folder from the Mods menu in-game. Then devmap niveus.

[UniqPhoeniX]

Thanks for reply benmachine. I got it to work by putting it to Trem/vandal and loading it as mod.
You still need an icon and description for it .
Flying around in the middle of ATCS is fun, you can even get from bottom to the very top of map and stay there just by jumping, holding RMB, looking up and hitting a lot of walls with high speed (only avoid loosing speed).
I'm sure controls will change, right now this thing is a hell to control. But it works .
The model is a bit buggy tho: wings and legs look fine (except left wing, second poly from back can be seen through from below), but I see through the wrong side of the body, so i kind of see whats inside vandal, but not through it.
The sound it makes when damaged at low health is a bit funny and i cant see the flight animation.

[Samurai.mac]

Sounds to me like you need to reverse your polygons.

[Death_First]

Ok Now that redsky and benmachine have a good start on the flying alien i thought i should bring this up:

What are you going to give the humans to balance it out?

[Plague Bringer]

I do believe this alien is a response to the jet-pack, therefore it needs no balancing on the human side. I could be wrong, though. So don't take this post for fact.
