Luclin models...a poll

@Rasterburn - So you actually wrote the code yourself for the DirectX Injection or did you find a 3rd party program that allowed you to do it?

Nah, I'm mainly a texture artist who likes to mess around with the guts of my favorite games. Models and textures are what I know best. I know a -little- about that end of things (coding), but I'm far from being an expert on it. I've had a mod-related web site for the past four years and a couple of friends over there wrote the bulk of the code for it. They wrote the injector that we were experimenting with for Age Of Conan, too. The EQ version still isn't finished and parts of it are a bit wonky... so I wouldn't feel comfortable about distributing it to other people. But it works well enough for my own purposes. Like I said, it's really just a sort of novelty toy.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help in this topic. I tried. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's fine. I was just curious how deep I would have to go to get Luclin models. I've not worked a whole lot with DirectX, but do have experience in coding. I may take a look and just get familiar with it. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to learn enough to be dangerous.

I've played with EXTRACTING models and textures from DirectX and OpenGL games. I tried it with EQ Live years ago but back then the models weren't UV'd. More recently though I pulled fully textured mapped models from N64 ROMs using Nemu64 and "LemD's" plugin. I've also grabbed whole textured cities from Google Earth.

I've been wanting to pull some city or landscape from EQ and do a photo-realistic CG fly-through. No serious ideas right now, but definitely something i'd love to play with when I get some free time. Pretty fun stuff.

I think the Luclin models were way over done - the characters always looked as if they were holding their breath in.

They're just game models, no real harm in my opinion in offering them. I like the classic, but not everyone does. That said, I downloaded the files that improved the look of the textures in many of the zones. Options are nice.

Nilbog - thanks for your post. Very reassuring.

I apologize for being riled up on this issue - my fault for not reading page 1 and seeing this thread was a necro. I thought it was a poll being proposed now for consideration of potential action in the short term future, and reacted accordingly.

Glad to know the majority feel the way I do, and that our pov is shared by the devs.

I can't believe 1/3 of the people that have voted on this actually prefer Luclin models. They are abhorrent.

Couldn't agree more. I recall one or two of the race models being alright, and the rest looking awful.

The Luclin models actually have visible breathing animations... where as the old world models do not. You can see the Luclin models breathing in and out, in other words... which adds considerable realism to the character. It's the old world models who look as if they're holding their breath all the time.
