Credits Map

[XepptizZ]

There wll be made a map with cinematics, showing all the big players in this mod via some kind of symbolic representation and their name.

Here I'll disscuss some ideas I had and people can discuss if they'd want something different or brainstorm about cinematics for others.

Here's what I've got so far;

Dark JaXx (hoping his contribution will grow taht it) and Tarnationsauce2;
You enter cilindrical room (think morbias/fractalish) wich has some real loud music, as you approach the center you'll start to notice a giant pounding speaker in the center, the camera slowly centers straight on it from top to bottom where you'll now see the total speaker with Tar and Dark JaXx' name and optional photo painted on the speaker.

HarryHash and Nemesis;
You approach a ruin, roman architectured, set in an idealic daytime setting, on a center peddestill lays a big ancient book, when the cam is close and focused on it it'll go to the page with Harry's name, after a while it'll go to the page with Nem's name/photo etc.

TexasGtar;
Mister "in a league of it's own" :P, he'll get a a scene with the cam starting near a movie projector. Slowly going passed it to see the Moviescreen wich will have big letters like "TexasGtar Productions presents: UPCinematics" and some cool Background with, optionally, his picture.

3DTexturizer;
Some kind of energy reactor room (Circular) with his name in the center with all his weapons as sprites floating around it.

Xero Mata;
A room with the playermodels in a pose as statues with a rock texture like an anchient altar worshipping his name in stone letters :P. Statue's as he made models, get it? Statue's => Models :P.

Nix;
Dunno yet. As he made some skins and works on some maps for the BP.

Me;
Not sure either :P, to divers job description.

Ghost and Dots;
As they code, a safe with lotsa doors sliding open, in the rather SciFi safe interior with green techy floating numbers n' shizz you'll see their names appearing like how it looks when a code gets cracked.

Arvido;
You see some guy passing by with the HAR when he suddenly freezeframes, you zoom invery, very, very much untill you see "Arvido Inc' in the left corner of the scope's lens.

And the remaining with less influence get the traditional scrolling credits.

I haven't givin this much thought, but aside from the coders it all seems pretty easy to do with maximum wow effect.

I love it! how exactly are you going to model us? my avatar is a screenshot of Axon with the Rocket Launcher, which is pretty easy to do, and that's how I'd like to appear, but people like tex don't have that option.
EDIT: somehow I doubt Axon makes an appearence in UT99, so my little slacking shortcut is out.

[XepptizZ]

I will either use the Avatars (all the photostuff is 2d in the scene's....on purpus) or a real life photo if permitted.

Just had an idea for Arvido, see first post, and I think I'll just make a big cheese rolling down the road for me :P

[harryhash]

Sounds cool! I'll try get a decent pic of me for ya...maybe after a show and my face is all bloodied up from the mosh? ;)

[TexasGtar]

big cheese..That works!

I think i would like to work on 3d's map first. Would you like to draw something to show me what you want? I mean..circular energy reactor room sounds cool but very generic. Just a quick drawing of what you see in your head now and i'll take it from there.

[XepptizZ]

I'll try to get a quick sketch of the scenes I had in mind, do note it's just some sketchy sketches and in no way some sort of guideline, I've seen you're maps and know how good you are. And if it's a bit too much work for one guy I can also call in some other mappers who might be willing.

[TexasGtar]

Yeah ..don't spend more than an hour on it. Just a rough sketch of what you are seeing in your minds eye will suffice to get me started in the right direction.

[XepptizZ]

I've sent the map and started a bit on the associated temple scene with the book :).

[Xero Mata]

i like the idea for mine. will my gun models be in it too or just Jade & the mecha?

[XepptizZ]

Weaponmodels made by you can be added to some of the statues as part of the statues.
The Hallway will contain as much different playermodels as possible though, I was picturing somekind of "Hall of past heroes" idea :P. When I saw you replied I was like "O snap! I didn't forget him, did I?".

[TexasGtar]

Thanks Xepptizz. I'll check it out.

Xero- If you have other ideas you would like go ahead and post them here because this is where i will go to refresh my memory when working. I would be happy to add in things the way you and Xepptizz would like and let the team decide on the final version.


This goes for anyone who would like to add ideas to their credits scenes. I'll do the best i can to accomodate.

I would be happy to add in things the way you and Xepptizz would like and let the team decide on the final version. Well I would like it to have a very Gothic look to it mixed with Necris tech. Mostly cause my name Xero Mata sound a bit like a code name for a Necris Assassin or a weapon they might use.

Okay. Got it. Gothic+Necris ...+ ancient alter +statues(models) = no problem..lol

I once saw a tutorial on how to make alien type for photoshop. Perhaps i shall search for it and make a new necris alphabet. Write out your name on the worshiped alter rock thingy and then have one of your Player models scan it with a new fancy hand held language interpreter laser device and have the letters switch from indecipherable to english. That would be cool. Hmmm. :scratch: Worshipping the creator. Hehe reminds me of a star trek movie.


I got the map Xepptizz. Wow the colors. Some intense solar flares going on. :)

Anyway...i saw the interpolation points set up but i could not figure out what you used them for as i did not see anything set to follow it. The playerstart is on the hill. Anyway...it reminds me of unclebobs chinatown. :rolleyes:

That is a cool roof you made for him. Anyway....uhmmmmwhat was your idea for this map? Have the camera circle up and up the rock glacier and then make something at the top? Or did you want to use the chinese building? And who is this for? It didnt match any of the descriptions? Unless it is the cliff the big cheese is gonna roll off of. Ha

[XepptizZ]

Bout the Desciphering Idea....sounds really complicated :p

The Interpolationpoints were just a test of mine, take em out if you want coz they don't work as they should anyways :P.

The map is just an oldy of mine wich I never touched since the mod. But the Skybox is wicked and the cliff is useable and this is never released, so I figured why not use it.

As for the map I sent, ditch the building, I thought something like this would fit it more; (The bookstand is the really small thing to the left up the stairs :P.

[n3m35i5]

Dude. That's awesome. 'nuff said.
