Lastly, script automatically splitting texture files... * Mesh Optimisation : I've added a extra part (XXX_TRI_2) for each tribune, this part automatically 'invisible while playing game' and it is useful for 2nd and 3rd floor of tribune, if use that for 2nd and 3rd floor of tribune, fps/game performance will 'noticable increase', i would strongly suggest that, besides i checked out a lot of original stadiums, KONAMI used average 50k-60k triangles (50000-60000 triangles except staff elements (guard-cameraman etc.)) i would suggest 'dont over 60k-70k triangles' if you dont want slowdown/lag problems... * Directly Export native game format : Script is automatically converting mesh models and writes as 'binary data' instead of text format, after then compressing with Zlib and create game bin file, thats feature will save time for you... * Transparent and Two-sided model parts : Transparent parts works good if u set right 'part order' , near objects must be bottom at part list, far objects must be top. there is no automatic two-sided model parts for keep the model filesize as less as possible, easy way to make manual two-sided mesh face, 'I will explain these 2 things with video tutorial as soon as possible..' * Extra Things : You can add team banner for home and away teams, also u can use home/away team flag/emblem in game and you can make stadium for different competitions (CL,UEFA) with using same stadium (with changing adboards on the wall and near the scoreboard) Warnings/Suggestions: * Watch the 2 tutorials with carefully before anything to do... * This script is 'beta' version and it includes over 2000 code lines so far, of course there are some small bugs, need some little improvements, thats why i would not suggest that for newbie/beginner makers, because they dont know exactly game/stadium structure, Im avoid their noobish questions, 'only professional advise,critics,bug report would welcome..' * Keep under 1MB each texture file size, otherwise textures will black color in game.. * Be careful when you assigning/loading textures, %90 script errors about the textures,(choose right format,exact file path,saving before process) * Make sure all image files saved before converting to DDS. * Make sure all image files converting to DDS and created under temp folder before Exporting process. * Sometimes script may give a warning message when exporting, check out all model parts and textures before exporting, so if script says warning like '...... file using another application....' try export again, it will export them at second try... * I would suggest add staff elements lastly (guards,cameraman,boxes etc..) , thats will saving time for you because script is calculating each mesh triangle when exporting, so there are 75000 triangles for staff elements, if u add them firstly, script is trying 75000 x calculate when exporting at every time, that will waste time... * I would suggest use TGA (Targa) format for alpha textures, it supports alpha channel and it 'keeps all color information', PNG uses layer transparency instead of alpha channel and 'it removes color informations'.. * You can use directly DDS textures with using NVIDIA DDS Plugin for Photoshop, but nevertheless click DDS convert before exporting, because DDS Convert is working like that: - 'if texture format is TGA or PNG; convert them to DDS (this process take a little time) and create textures under temp folder with 'corresponding texture ID (0x27..)' - 'if texture format is DDS; read directly DDS data , no converting to DDS (that will save time for you) and create textures under temp folder with 'corresponding texture ID (0x27..)' (link: http://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop) To Do List: * fix some small bugs, add some little improvements. * Integrate Crowd,Light Effect,Scoreboard,Rebounds tool in to this script. * make a long video tutorial about 4-5 things (adding team banner,fix mesh smooth problem,transparent-twosided mesh parts,increase details for DDS Mipmaps, etc..) * Maybe Xbox360/PS3 support (I dont have PS3 and Xbox but I have some knowledge/ideas in my mind, PS3 and Xbox use IBM PowerPC CPU and it uses Big-Endian coding file format(like Motorola CPU) so I can convert game files to Big-Endian format with using Python but of course need more information about Xbox/PS3 model and texture file structure) Author : Suat CAGDAS 'sxsxsx' Credits : * Blender/Python Developers (new Blender/Python integration is awesome) * NVIDIA Developers (DDS Converter tool) * Zlib Developers (Zlib compress tool) Special Thanks: Ariel, Warpjavier, Gwidon, Stelios and evo-web community Download : http://www.multiupload.com/HVAJ7I4PX7 (178 MB) Any professional suggestions, critics, bug report, test report would welcome...
