Chambers Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 After some playtesting, looks like the bow mod is ready to go. So I have pulled it out of the Overhaul and uploaded it. It should be up on the website soon-ish. In the meantime, if you want it now: Spoiler https://drive.google.com/file/d/1scEgkvkci0rLZg7vcQHJqGzIc_qqCK85/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momoe Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hi Chambers I have your Better Arrows mod installed and noticed that your borrwed mesh assets for the fiberglass bow don't match the icon. So I've been made a mesh that more closely matches it. If you are interested in porting this to 7D2D I'm willing to work with you. Please contact me if you're interested.

Spoiler So, the funny thing -- not funny ha ha, funny sad -- is the arrowhead from the package I got is almost the exact same color as the 7dtd background. Painfully invisible when in inventory. After spending way too much time nosing around the store for alternatives, the other available arrowheads are all terribly similar to the vanilla arrows, and I gave up and got a 2d substitute image. In other words, I would be pleased to have any arrowhead that is not dark gray and that is visually distinct at a glance from the vanillas. Yours looks ideal. So, if you would like to move forwards, let me know your terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(jk) but really I can design the mesh and the textures, but I do not know 7D2D modding architecture. So 1.) What format the mesh/textures need to be in, and 2.) leave it up to you to integrate it into your mod 3.) Just a credit for my contribution. Once I have that info, we can go back and forth on size dimensions and other kinks to work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I have that info, we can go back and forth on size dimensions and other kinks to work out. Cool! That's great. Mesh Format: Unity FBX or OBJ definitely work, and probably other Unity-friendly formats as well, but those are the ones I've definitely imported to 7dtd. Anything that works in Unity will probably work, but the 7dtd game engine has a few quirks, so you never know. Texture Format: I believe any common file types work. Most of the objects I have imported comes in png. From what I hear, the only problem files are restricted types, like 3dsMax, but my knowledge of the matter is very limited. Sizing and other kinks: 7dtd treats arrows as a simple box, so you shouldn't need to do anything else. But fyi should you ever do an object that 7dtd considers complex, like a car, very different story. Credit You: Gladly. Let me know what name you want to go by, plus any artist contact info you want to include. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momoe Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I've finished UV unwrapping it, and exported all the individual parts in one FBX file. but should be acceptable to play around with in whatever modeling program you use. I'm curious how they mirror like specular translates over to the metal portions. https://file.io/bVlA3qS7Seph Edited June 19, 2023 by momoe (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambers Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) It's done. At least for A20. The post will go live on the mod website in due time. An early link is in the spoiler area below. The A21 version will be a bit longer before release. I have the mod up and running in A21, but I still need to set things to working with A21's new loot and trader systems.

Mostly all I use is the 7dtd exporter to take models straight out of Unity and into the game. From what I hear, though, the 7dtd engine is a heavily restricted version of Unity that doesn't allow for a lot of effects, such as metallic reflections. In my experience, it also tends to "muddy" up one's textures quite a bit, though bump maps seem to make it across the export pretty well.

Glad to hear it, I'll give it a once over, before baking out the textures. For now this was just about fixing the size and pieces to fit in game proportions, so texture baking doesn't look warped. Also I *might* have a glass arrowhead in the works, if I can get the sculpted mesh to come out with the fine chisel detail for baking a glass texture too. But this one will be taking ab it longer.

Chambers Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 The A21 version of Additional Arrows is done. It (and all future A21 mods) will be in the A21 thread. But since this one mods has also been discussed here, here is the early file link. The website will have it up in due time.

Reveal hidden contents https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HaDrYiwu44495lu7UQuGqLO9Tn29bqfy/view?usp=drive_link Just want to follow up real quick. I've rolled out a copy of a20 to try out your mod, it looks like it fits for the most part, small alignment issues but nothing to crow about. As I've said before this is only a rough draft. while we fit scaling, and implementation stuff. I'm Currently getting a crash course in materials and texturing going from GLSL>PBR standards, so once I have a fundamental grasp of these things I will resubmit the mesh with all the proper baked textures. It's just going to take some time until I get this under my belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThorSan Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Wanted to say love the idea and presentation of the additional arrows mod, came across a few issues with it though, something about removing/changing the vanilla bows makes you get frozen when trying to view them to craft in the workbench, and an extra piece is need the ability to scrap the arrows and heads, like scrap/glass arrows to broken glass, fiberglass to military fiber or plastics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mprojekt Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Glad to see your mod make it to A21! I enjoyed it in A20 and I feel/hope it will help to keep bows relevant in the late-game of A21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
