Hi to all!

In this thread i will put from time to time information about Pumo Mines and its progress. I've created a thread like this before, but it was lost since the problems with the forum server, so i'm opening it again!

PUMO MINES 3 LEVEL DEMO v1.0 RELEASE

OK, finally after a long wait, here is a new Pumo Mines release.

This release includes 3 levels and all possible features including movies between levels,
briefing sequences, custom OGG music, high-res models, sounds and textures and all the good stuff.

It has also a lot of fixes since the last official and beta releases, including some light tweaking,
robot difficulty and size adjustments, some model adjustments, better music quality and a lot more, including
the new features (movies, etc).


Some screenshots:

NOTE: After a lot of testing and playing i've noticed a few things that may be D2X-XL bugs that will be reported.
e.g. on Level 3 some cameras are screwed up, and the Orbit XC has a gray square on the back thruster
(not specified on the ASE model file) that appeared since D2X-XL included rotational thrusters for the Pyro.

PS. As on my previous Pumo Mines thread, can this be a sticky Diedel?

My pleasure.

But still like i said a long time ago, are you going to let us see the 2nd lvl a little bit plzzz!!!!!!!

The problem is that i don't have nothing to show of level 2
Although i may show some screens of level 6 and 3...

Anyway, i'm mostly working on robots and textures right now, so there's not much progress on level design (yet )

[karx11erx]

Just show us something - DROOL!

Seems to go from Doom or maaaybe Duke3d up to more or less Unreal. I'd say it worked.

[blarget#]

i understand sort of. I'm more of a lvl desinger then a modder.

Edit:

why don't you show us your robots or textures?

[Pumo]

Ok. I will show you some of the textures and robots i'm making

Here you can see the new re-touched lights (based on original D2 lights):




Now check the new Level 1 monitor graphics:



Some signs and panels (first sign for fuel recharge center, second one for shield recharge center):



And lastly, some wireframes of the new robots:

Hi Pumo,

your textures look very good. Could and would you provide us a short list of the texture original names so i could update my 'texture modding status OpenOffice document'. With that we could 'block' these textures for you and other graphic artists can concentrate on other textures.

Great work... keep on going...

Best regards

Well, my current lamp textures are only 128x128x32Bit ('cause i use a lot of D3 textures on Pumo Mines and want to avoid resizing of overlay textures, and all the stuff...). The only ones i'm making 512x512 are the used on the skydomes, and some 256x256 for certain signs and level-specific monitors, so i think that they doesn't fit on your texture modding status document, as it's intented for official D2 hi-res textures.

However, i may do some of the lamps as 512x512 if you like, but it may be slow (Pumo Mines is top priority right now ).

[Maaspuck]

Thanks for your reply. I think i will leave the document unchanged at the moment until you release 'official' textures..

Regards

Maaspuck
