Off Topic Productions

To make up for the lack of activity, here's a few new things I've been working on. I'll post more if I get the time.



I've remade the side panel texture, and also re-made the ground bricks. Some of you may remember these were shown in screenshots back in 2007, but were missing in the release. This was because I lost the texture when I was moving computers early 2008. I managed to find the source photo I used and re-made them pretty much the same as they were before.


And a comparison of the original, Release 1 version, and current version of the side panel.


And I've remade the poster to be accurate to the original (I think the words are pretty much accurate). That said, if anyone can find a better picture closer to the original, feel free. It will need to be at least 800 pixels tall, otherwise it will look blurry.

Great work, DaveW!

Please do not give up on NV! [-o<

Some new work on the HK_Signs package, just realised CGTextures has a whole category for this stuff now so I've been remaking practically everything. About 60% complete with the package now.

So good!

DaveW, what became of Helder Pinto? Has he ever contributed something tangible to NV in the end? You mentioned one and half year ago he would do some texturing for NV but since then we practically learned nothing new.

Helder did do some textures and I received a few of them, but I haven't been able to get MSN working on my netbook so I haven't been in contact with him for some time. There's textures that he's done that I don't have.

Those signs are FUCKEN' awesome!

Keep up the great work!

RESPECT! o/

It'd be a real shame if those textures would miss the release. Sending him an email wouldn't do?

And about the .NET dependencies, I don't think it would be a trouble for most people. .NET framework is required by more and more applications (I already have v4.0 installed on Windows XP).

Stuff looks bloody superb - for someone who says that they're becoming less interested in this stuff, you do a fine days work.

wow nice job mate Very smooth textures.

Wow this looks cool! I'm really looking forward to NV!

Great! Keep up good work

I've been working on my Dad's computer since I'm back home from University, when I was flying around New York looking at some fixed textures I noticed something sticking out a fair bit. I talked to DDL and it turns out they're stored in UTX's, so here we go:







There's a few others I haven't got around to yet, and this is only two of the three major ones used in different maps. But it's something.

Wow! The lights look incredible.

Great work, DaveW!

The new lights are so much better! Keep it up!
