Level Design Static Mesh Catalogue

[Chernuk]

Revision 0 of my static mesh catalogue is finally ready - enjoy.

It currently lists all of the TWI static meshes since mid-September (prior to the release of the G41).

The static meshes are first listed in alphabetically order of the name and description I have given the mesh, not by the name as listed in ROed.

The meshes are also listed as broken down by package and group.

There is a third special list which includes all static meshes featuring snow or some other characteristic relevant to a winter map.

Future work includes:
1) Keep up with updates from TWI
2) Including lists of static meshes created by the community.

If you have made static meshes that you want included in the next revision, send me:
a) permission to list the static mesh
b) the static mesh's name
c) the package or, if its saved in a mylevel package, the map name where the static is saved
d) the source where the package or map can be downloaded

If you have any suggestions for other "special lists" feel free to send them my way.

Also, as this is a work in progess, if you notice any errors or discrepancies please let me know so I can fix them.

If you like this convenient tool, help me out with my other project: a historical meta-reference, the Compendium Orchestrium.

 

[Drecks]

You did a great job on this.

 

[FYROM]

Wow, just when I finally memorized where all of them are...thanks for the great utility!

 

[Shurek]

Chernuk,

This is an incredible awesome resource for mappers (new and experienced) alike to have at their disposal. Thanks for the hard work in sorting and compiling this information.

I, for one, will have a copy of your trusty guide on the document stand next to my computer while I'm working away on my levels.

 

[DeV]

Great job, nothing more I can say..

 

[sixpakken]

nice that really helps A time saver

 

[ExoCet-NAW]

great job Man, this will save mappers loads of time searching for that illusive static.

 

[Nestor Makhno]

illusive or elusive? As it's Unreal Engline I suppose it could be both

Chernuk, this is such a time saver - you went through all the tedium and arse-ache of cataloguing these so we don't have to, what a star! Thanks.

*edit* any chance of doing one for textures?

 

[Chernuk]

You want one for textures too!?! Damn, give an inch and they want a mile.

Actually, I figured someone would ask. Don't worry, its on the drawing board. Knowing me it won't be ready until December, so I'll wrap it up for you as a christmas present.

Now how come no one is helping out with my other project, the Compendium? Is it because I gave it a stupid name? Get over it and submit you links so I can it finished.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

fantastic!, i was blown away when i saw that this game contains 100 times more static meshes than cod2.
great job!

 

[Divinehammer]

nice work way to put out the effort.

 

[Rak]

Great work, thanks

 

[Rich_Zap]

Good job, it came in most usefull.

 

[Chernuk]

Shameless bump back to the first page.

 

[Yoshiro]

Stuck because it is useful.

 

[Reservoir Dog]

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks dude. It must have taken some time to compile!!!! Definitely cut mappers time down.....

You might want to consider using http://3dbuzz.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=68116&highlight=keyword+browser for this type of thing. It was created for UT2k4 and also can be used for Textures. It would be a lot of work to setup the catalogues, but it's a very useful utility.

No offence to tripwire

Its a pity tripwire didn't manage there textures and static mesh properties a bit better.

I.E. All packaged within the a set of parameters. eg. All style of wood texture under wood, all static meshes lists as construction (doors, roofes etc), furniture, outdoor etc.

This would mean 2 things, that either all mappers would have their textures in place before they actually start texturing their map or that all textures are reordered afterwards and all mappers have to go through their maps again and re apply each texture.

I havent seen Chernuk for a while but if he is out there I was wondering if he was going update this with the DanzigSM package? It did not seem to make it in the first revision.
