They all look amazing. It's unbelievable the things we can all achieve with such big restrictions.

I'm curious as to who found it first, MM or crash? By date it seems like MM found it first. I had a google search for Sligs but I could not find the original author at all. I just realised something, strictly speaking we should have visored Sligs for AO, but then again, I guess that's getting retconned for the HD remake? But still, all these skins are simply amazing. Well done to everyone who's been working on them. |
I actually think Crashpunk found the skin first in the actual Minecraft Thread in the Off-Topic discussion.
And I think we should have visored Sligs. |
Here's the visored slig.

I think that looks a lot more ... Sliggish. Well for Rupture Farms anyway.
|
People may disagree with me but as a minecraft skin, the non-visored version looks a lot better. Besides that, I've already shot two scenes with the non-visored sligs - Considering how many takes one of the scenes took because the pig conveyor refused to work properly, I really don't feel like shooting that scene again with different skins.
EDIT: I suppose I'll do those shots again if enough people say I should, but I'd still rather not. |
I don't think it's needed. You can always say "Those Sligs in the video were testing the prototype of the new visor". But generally, sligs are now regarded as having two eye sockets rather than just a visor. In a similar way that now Abe is generally regarded as having three fingers in all of the canon.
|
Ah that's okay. It wouldn't really bother me to be honest.

Ve had twice ze flavour! :( Awesome the skins are all done now. I'm eager to help with this when it happens. I would have said getting the right mask is important (at least to me) but since you have already filmed two scenes I'd say it's no longer worth the hassle of changing it. |

Whos playing Molluck? Can I play him if nobody else is?
|
I asked first! (On the server yesterday.)
|
Okay, but I want to be the slig!
|
I'll be either a Mudokon or a Glukkon if nobody else is.
EDIT: 700 posts :D |
Who gets what parts depends on who's online during filming day. :P But I guess Splat gets first dibs on Mullock since he asked first - Though all anyone has to do to play him is slowly look around and nod, based on his actions from the original Abe intro FMV.
|
I wouldn't mind doing multiple roles.
|
I wanna be the chasing slig :D
|
Buncible beat you to it, sorry man. There are other roles with Abe that I want to shoot soonish though if you happen to be on at the right time. :)
|
Given how much I lag, a nodding background glukkon would probably be the best place for me. Same for M_M and Ench.
|
I think we all lag a bit, since we're all connecting to a private server.
Alright. Viewing the youtube video of the conference room I note the following: We need a total of 8 actors for the boardroom scene (and 1 extra if we still want abe looking in from outside). 1x Slig 1x Molluck 6x Boardroom glukkons (from left to right: light blue, beige/pink, normal blue, light blue, green, medium shade purple) 1x Abe Any ideas how the scene with Abe pushing a big cleaning machine can be done? |
So that's 10 people (you forgot to count a cameraman). We're more than capable of that.
Ench, M_M and I naturally lag heaps more than the rest of you guys given that we have to connect from halfway around the world. I would expect our movements to be really, really jerky. |
When are you guys planning to film? Also tell me what role to play so I can sort out my skin.

When you puch a Minecart across the floor, It kinda glitches.
|
What if you put track down?
|
That would just look stupid and wouldn't work since he's moving around a curve.
|
@ Alexfili - I worked it out a while ago and I have been saying for some time now that we need 9 people for the boardroom scene, not including myself 'cause I'll be filming the thing. Since it doesn't take very long at all to change skins, roles will be assigned on the day depending on who lags less and who is available.
I've played around with things ages and ages ago and have worked out how to do the scene where Abe pushes the floor scrubber around the boardroom (I plan to film that bit next - To play him for this part, I'll need someone who doesn't lag, is prepared to listen to me carefully, who also has a high attention to detail). He'll push a powered Minecart since it wouldn't match with the audio if he pushed nothing - I'll be using a texture pack for the posters anyway, and it's possible to make tracks invisible. Carts move diagonally over tracks with lots of curves, so it shouldn't look too terrible. Movement speed may be an issue, so later I'll be playing around with a machinima mod which can reduce movement speed with commands. As for when the Boardroom scene will be shot - I don't know yet, perhaps sometime during the next 2 weeks. I need to finish the projector graphics first. That shouldn't take too long though. |
Okay then, I'll be more than happy to be a minor Glukkon. Good thinking too, with turning the tracks invisible. All this week and next week will be perfect for me.
However, I'm going away for Christmas holidays the week after that for a few weeks so I was hoping we could get it done before then. Of course, don't rush. If I miss out, I miss out. I'd just prefer not to. |

I only plan to film the AO intro and nothing more. After that is finished, I'll be working on making RF an adventure map - Which was my original plan in the first place. Filming the AO intro is only being done because it's something that seemed feasible - And maybe it'll promote the adventure map when it's finally finished a few months from now.
But yeah, looks like I'll have to get my finger out and hurry up with those graphics - Getting 9 people online at once though for an hour or two at a pre-arranged date shouldn't be too hard to ask for though, in theory. |
As long as the pre-arranged date isn't the 25th of December.
It would be cool to do some other cutscenes too, if opportunity arises. But yeah, I'd say see how this goes first, get on with the original plan, and maybe do it later once the work is done. There are few-if-any that could be done without more building. |
that looks awesome mate
it would be cool to add music from rapture farms to this map in minecraft map make more like oddworld. also if you want you could add abe to your minecraft collection http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgur...ch&um=1&itbs=1 http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgur...ch&um=1&itbs=1 |
1. Use the edit button: DO NOT double post.
2. It's spelt 'Rupture Farms'. 'Rapture Farms' sounds like the title of a Mills & Boon novel. 3. Use the edit button: DO NOT triple post. 4. Your picture doesn't show up. Check your posts after posting them, and USE THE EDIT BUTTON. 5. Use the edit button: DO NOT quadruple post. |
@sligpatrol - Please read the forum rules to learn more about forum etiquette, or your stay here may be a short one.
(then again me and Splat are breaking them kinda by posting this... lol, pot kettle) |
Not if the pot's a moderator.
*Merges sligpatrol's posts* |
Since you won't get to see this much detail in the finished graphic... This is shown at the side of the projector when it displays profit graphs. I re-created it in photoshop by overlaying screenshots of the original AO video and using my imagination... (except for the Glukkon head, that's taken from a large PNG of the Rupture Farms logo) I still wonder what those other symbols mean. Different species? Consumers?
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1323386396 EDIT: Oh yeah, I can't find a good enough image of the original (mudokon head impaled on a stick) Mudokon Pops graphic, so the new (cartoonised lollypop) version will have to do. |
Meh, I always thought the lolly-pop version was more consumer-friendly.

That's awesome Carnix. Good job:)
I started again on the server this morning. School is now over so I have time on it. I'm making my way to RF now. |
