[W.I.P] [Sven Co-Op - They Hunger] SD Character Recreation

[H3000]

Hello.

I am working on this pack where i recreate the characters in They Hunger, and i aim to make them as original as possible.
Weapons will not be included because the Sven Co-Op team is working on that, and they are more skilled than i am.
I am not an animator, so some of the models like the Hunger Zork will still have the same shitty animations and skeletons.
A lot of the models are based on the already existing Hunger Pack made by R1chard i believe.
It's all model and texture hacking, it's not that complicated, but i spent a lot of time making the models look right.
Anyways here is what i have done so far:

[Besli]

Wow, those models are looking very nice!
Welcome to this board.

[Steel]

Great stuff. I'd prefer to have those player models a bit closer to the originals though. I'm talking especially about the orderly and Jack. The rest are details, really. Missing moustache, extra moustache, different hair colour etc.

[SPRKH]

Never really cared a whole lot about TH, but this is looking pretty cool. Welcome to this hell hole.

Looks like the crotch verts on the patient model could be moved a bit closer together, or could be whacky rigging

[Editor]

Neat stuff, welcome to HLC.

Is that Kurtz in the top right corner?

[H3000]

Neat stuff, welcome to HLC.

Is that Kurtz in the top right corner?

Well yea, it's Kurtz face and body model, but with LD'ish Slick face texture.
Anyways here is some more news...


I love how the grunts look, should they have camouflage instead?
PS: Why is it They Hunger has no black people in the game?

[panther123]

That very nice Hgrunt model but that gas make seem out of place tho. Consider TH set in 1950s (Vietnam war /Korean war) i think you should give them the US soldier flak jacket and their helmet in HOE:NE and maybe M9 gas mask or m17 gas mask and can you make the face map of that glasses guy more cleaner pls
P/s:That just my opinion but good job anyway look forward to hearing from you.

[SPRKH]

Maybe have the eyes rolled back and the jaws hanging open on these, they seem kinda cool with what's going on atm.

Well these heads are not dead, if you go near one of them, they will say "help me!".

Isn't it already an M17 Gas Mask? It might just be me being wrong, but i'm pretty sure that it is a M17 Gas Mask.

[Editor]

You have some missing faces around the collars of the soldiers where we can see through them mesh. Might want to try and tidy that up.

Also, I agree that some variety of expression of the heads in the tank would be a nice touch.

[panther123]

Isn't it already an M17 Gas Mask? It might just be me being wrong, but i'm pretty sure that it is a M17 Gas Mask.

Actually that model is based on M40 gas mask (1980s) This is M17 gas mask http://olive-drab.com/images/gasmask_m17_700.jpg

So i have ported that M17 gas mask(it's pretty low poly) from a gmod workshop and that helmet and flak jacket from HOENE

[Editor]

Ah yeah, the M17 "Neckbeard" respirator.

Hey thank you so much :D
I will work on the soldiers again

Edit: OMG that mask has quality like it was intended for Source Engine, i'm gonna have to find a way to make it fit with Goldsource SD graphics.

[H3000]

Well i failed to minimize vertexes on the mask, i only have Milkshape 3D, and i think i would need something like 3Ds Max (maybe).
Anyways the new grunt model for They Hunger looks like this right now:

Thanks to panther123 

[panther123]

Oh wow they look great but wait there a crack in the middle of their face and oh no that flak jacket mesh is broken oh im so dumb for not checking and fixed it properly sorry about that.
Edit: So i have spent my time to fixing it so it pretty alright now
Edit2: Can you give them the wood M16 in game, it's kinna weird for marine to use the gangster thompson since these guys wearing VietNam era equipment.

Also there a tut to fixed that broken UV map after you complie the model is in MS3D i also put in to that file, hope that help.
P/s: Good luck and look forward to hearing more from you

[H3000]

I am gonna give them M16 rifles, but as long as They Hunger EP3 is not released yet, they will still have Tommy guns because thats what they drop when you kill them in EP2.
So when Sven Co-Op Team releases They Hunger Episode 3, then i will update the grunts and immediately, and of course any other model that needs updating will be updated as well.
But for now i am gonna make this pack fit for the current patch.
Right now i am just fixing some bugs in the models i have created, and i didn't notice the UV-Map bug in the flak jacket, but i will look into that, thanks

Edit: Yes i know that the models i have posted pictures of have holes around their necks and have minor bugs, but they are not finished, i am gonna fix all bugs before release, but for now i am gonna show you what the models look like and then fix them 100% later.

Edit2: I think i'm done with these. Now i am going to fix the pilot and scratch that Cpt. Kurtz model that i use right now.

[H3000]

Uhhmmm... How do i fix these animation bugs? Do i ask Sven Co-Op team to reposition the grunt in their updated version of the map?
Or is there some other way?

[Editor]

Something doesn't look right with the qc file or the animation references. This is not a Sven Coop bug as the originals don't have this problem.

Did you decompile the Sven provided TH model and work from those files or another source?

Yes i have checked the original .qc file, they look the same, same event scripts if thats what you're thinking. I think Sven Co-Op is the only ones who can fix it because, they have decompiled the maps, and they could move the grunt into the right position.
But lets not get our hopes too high, the reason why i want this pack to be as original as possible is because i was hoping that the Sven Co-Op team would use it for their mod. :D

PS: I changed my mind about the pilot. No i am not gonna use Cpt. Kurtz model from Heart of Evil: Napalm Edition. Lets make it original

[Besli]

That's very good!
Reminds me on this old hack:

[Besli]

You should give the grunt on the right a new hat.

Like the hat on this invasion remod sniper:

[Steel]

But lets not get our hopes too high, the reason why i want this pack to be as original as possible is because i was hoping that the Sven Co-Op team would use it for their mod. :D

Then I suggest you register on official Sven Co-op forums and post your work there too. You'll soon find out what the team thinks about it. I personally like it, so who knows.

[Besli]

I personally like it

Me too!

[H3000]

Well Besli, if you want me to use that hat instead, then upload the model for me. I can't seem to install the Invasion remod for some reason.
So would you be kind to do that? Please? :D
And thanks for the good feedback folks It's nice to see that people are looking forward to this pack.

PS: Media Update again:

[zikshadow]

Allow me.

[H3000]

Thank you very much!

Meanwhile i did some work on the first zombie model.

[Besli]

Allow me.

Thanx zikshadow!

@H3000: Wow, those new Pants an boots are really awesome!
And the bullet holes on the back are lloking very good.
Keep up that good work!

I know that there was a cleansuit scientist model with orange texture and a biohazard logo on it, does someone can post that texture?
I can't find it at the Moment.

[H3000]

I first tried a couple of green camouflaged skins, but they didnt look good on them, so i gave them army green like the rest. And i gave Submodel 4 a new face, the previous one didn't fit wearing that boonie hat.


Edit: I figured out how to fix the "out-of-place animation bugs" i had accidently compiled it with PS2 anims, so that is not going to be ignored after all.

Edit2: Right now i'm trying to make the rat-squid mythical monster, or bullsquid if you'd like. I'm trying to give it 3D fur, but it doesn't look completely right at the moment.

[Editor]

If you wanted to keep with the theme of human experimentation, give the HOE NE bullsquid a try. You can easily delete the parasite on it.

Also, the sheriff star seems a bit large...

Glad to see you figured out the animation issue, I had a feeling it was a case of incorrect animation set. The Sven ones are ever so different.

[H3000]

I know about that one but i think i'm gonna try and keep it with the "mythical creature" theme, like in ancient human history.
Thanks anyway.
