Hello.


Today I am testing 3D models which are available to download and I have some questions. First, is it possible that models will look more detail in 100% normal look in game? Second, is that possible make models more similar to 2D enviroment? I very like 3D but it is not fit little to enviroment. It's ok but in my opinion models need some fixs.

Both are possible, but not simultaneously. Shaders could be used to make 3D character look pixelated, so it would fit the game better in general, but in that case it would look awful at a close distance (just like it is right now without of 3D).

The game is not meant to be played with close zoom in, so that's not an issue. Such a shader will be used later (if someone finds the time to do it :P ).

I honestly hope, that no one will find a single minute for it. These models look great as they are now.

Well, shaders are client side. Everyone can use them or not or use a totally different shader.

This is true. But for me a consistent graphical style is more important then some pretty models not fitting into the enviroment. I like the pixelated look.

Just switch off anti-aliasing.

I've never enabled it.

Well, original Fallout critters only have pixelated outlines. Their "inside" is smooth (as smooth as it was possible in 1997).

Youre going at this all wrong. Just disable texture filtering/mipmap and voilá you've got "pixelated" shit all over.. If the 3d part is done with opengl its easy to not enable texture filtering code wise



If the game is done with directx, then well.. You can always get some directx tweak software and disable texture filtering

Not this. I want use fonline options foconfig.cfg or something for make 3D fitter to enviroment.

Answered before on this page. It's isn't implemented, thus not possible now.

I dont know if this was answered allready:


About all this 3d, the character costumisation i was wondering, what will happen to the existing players...

A) Their characters will be able to cuztimise and pass to 3d?

B) Will stay in 2d in a way to show old players?

C) There will be a wipe?

Also i would like to know, cause neither the developers video and the van buren show "gore" deaths, i wanna know if there will be Blood mess death style in 3d

Ps= im from "tierra de nadie"(spanish), so forgive my bad english
