gun models

here are some gun models already in game maker model format. they are not the most stylish or efficient but are better than nothing. use this code to load them into game maker.

Code:

model_gun1=d3d_model_create();
d3d_model_load(model_gun1,'Gun1');

you have to do that with each model, but im sure there are more efficient ways.

Is that link correct? it gives me nothing. A little search provided the right link: click

I haven't tested the models in gamemaker, but I know there is a more efficient way to load them. Get the program POTV 2 (not by me) and convert your models to *.mpv format. Since this is Gamemaker's native 3d file format, loading speeds will be increased.

is it supposed to look like this? 100

Sometimes my winzip downloads dont work...

sorry for the BAD link, i am a NooB.

i dont know what u r talking about Guilty Sparks. load the model with game maker.

That's how GM model files look like. Basically a bunch of coordinates.

But how come there is no file extention?

idk thats how I got it, should I add something?

Well it isn't necessary, but you should give it an unique file extention to keep that format apart from other formats. For example lets say you create the format *.gmm (Game Maker Model). That format doesn't officially exist but that doesn't matter because it's possible to create your own file extentions. Just rename the name of the model to: "model_weapon.gmm". Now in GM, you could load it up with:

Code:

model = d3d_model_create();
d3d_model_load(model,'model_weapon.gmm');

nice, but how do you add textures to them?

d3d_model_draw(model,global.texture[0]);

this will take a texture out of the texture array that u should have made in the beginning of the game or room, and draw the model with that texture.

the texture array looks like this in the GAME START event

global.texture[0]=background_get_texture(background0);
global.texture[1]=background_get_texture(background1);

this way it is fastest. rather than calling background_get_texture lots of times.

No no no, do not make textures global: you can't get rid of them in-game anymore when you do this!

why would u get rid of them?? wait, so u only load the textures u need in a particular level. right? oh i see's.

dude my guns why u taking them and getting all credit?!?!??!?!

the reason i took off model extension is because i didnt want it to get edited at all so then if u change it to .obj it will not load onto a modeler such as blender,wings 3d, or truespace

Removing file extentions isn't a way to get your work secured. People can just change the file extention and load it up. For example, if the file was originally *.obj format, people could simply rename the file to file_name.obj and load it up. Next time better create a small *.txt file with the other files stating you get all the credit and that people aren't allowed to use it without your permission. You should give your email address too so people could contact you for permission.

thats a good idea but someone could still steal the models. i found an encrytor that can save text files to a certain pass phrase. i haven't got a link 4 it, and i haven't messed with it but it exists. so one could run this encryption on a file and then save it. its a game maker extension.

i changed stuff to the model and then i took off format so u couldnt load it into the modeler but that my secret

Stingy. It takes work to do anything, but I'd rather spend time working on a good game than good graphics. That's why real game teams SHARE all their stuff.

Real teams have everything split up. Gameplay, graphics and music are all seperate departments. Every department has their own professionals specialised in what they do.

In real teams, the programmers don't have to worry about their graphic resources. The graphics team takes care of that. That's the problem when making your own games. You have to take care of everything.

So why do we have this forum again?
