New Projectile Spells (Beginner - Intermediate)

Which models and textures are needed? (This if you are going to make a throwing knife)
rugimli (Texture)
rusam (Texture)
exgimliaxespecial (Texture)
rugimli_axe1 (W3D)
rusam_skn (W3D)
rusam_skl (W3D)

Open RenX (Or 3dsmax) and import rugimli_axe1. Select everything and click hide selection.

After you have done that import rusam_skn, remove the bounding box if you wish to. Move Sam's sword away from his model.

User image

Delete Sam and click unhide. Then again hide the fx around Gimli's axe.

User image

Move the knife to the same place as the axe, it's coordinates are listed at the bottom.

User image

Then rotate it to the same angle as the axe.

User image

Now freeze the sword, so we can work on the axe.
Now select the axe, and remove the vertexs until the axe's hilt.

User image

Attach the 2 vertexs that remain to the sword (unfreeze it first). Once that is done remove the 2 vertexs.

User image

You will now notice if you unhide everything that the sword is out of place, move it to the following coördinates.

User image

Now change the fx settings to the following settings below. (The Light Blue may be changed in an other color)

User image

Then after that when you animate it you see it doesn't turn a full circle, you will have to change that. Select the knife, remove all animations from it. Then go back to 1 and rotate the sword a little, then go to 2 and rotate it further, etc. You want to remove the fx's animations.

User image

In the end you should have a nice turning throwing knife. Export it as rusam_knife1.w3d, or what ever you want to call it. Now take a look at your creation in the w3d Viewer!

I gave a 5
1) A lot off effort just to help others which i love to see a lot.
2) Can i hav some help with Summon Balrog, when i try to play it crashes and the upgrade.ini isnt right

That means the thing that is filled in at Attackrange in the weapon is wrong.

Or the macro there doesnt exsist or the characters filled in are wrong.

SkillModLord - Friday August 20, 2010 - 0:02

Weapon.ini

That part where you combine woundarrow with Word of Power goes wrong.

When I put the piece of code you written there in my weapon.ini and correct it as you said, I try to start up the game and it says that attacktange in the file weapon.ini isnt good. I try to put other command first under the wounding arrow but then the the same bug appears with the new command first :S

This was pretty awesome guide and it helped me to fix up my powers. But I think I need help. I've set up my hero so that he can summon a BlackRider (Ringwraith w/e) at level 10. When my character gets to level 10, Blackrider icon lights up like it's usable. But when I click it, nothing happens. I don't get the little summoning area thing. What'd I do wrong?

Ridder Blauw - Friday September 11, 2009 - 10:02

Yes.

drogoth232 - Wednesday September 9, 2009 - 14:07

In the coding part. Will sam have the throwing anims?

Ridder Blauw - Wednesday August 19, 2009 - 8:34

That's modeling and coding. ;)

Ridder Blauw - Sunday May 10, 2009 - 22:26

The code calls them dozers in the code block DOZER_CONSTRUCT don't they?

Didn't get at first why you brought it up, so would you forgive me.
And thanks.

DOZERs are Builder/Porters
