12/2/2000 ================================================================ Model Name : Slingshot Installation directory : quake2/baseq2/players/slingshot Author : Albert Ng Skin Author : Albert Ng Email Address : albnok@hotmail.com Website Address : http://members.xoom.com/albnok Model description : Slingshot is an Autobot from The Transformers (TM) who transforms into a Harrier VTOL jet. He is one of the five Aerialbots and transforms into the right arm of Superion. Other info : This is my FIFTH plugin player model. There are some extra frames unviewable in normal Quake 2. Additional Credits to : Id Software for designing a game with such a flexible engine and story that others could easily modify, cranking up the speed new computers are coming out (sigh) and unleashing the creativity of so many gamers. Hasbro Inc. for producing the fantastic Transformers series. Thanks to : The creators of qME, Q2 Modeller and MedDLe. ================================================================ * Play Information * New Sounds : NO CTF Skins : YES - red, blue and green VWEP Support : NO, but if you want to make one, go ahead but send me a copy. * Construction * Poly Count : 548 Vert Count : 342 Skin Count : 5 i) - slingshot ii) - g2 (generation 2) iii) - ctf_r (red capture the flag team) iv) - ctf_b (blue capture the flag team) v) - ctf_g (green capture the flag team) Base : New model Editor used : Q2 Modeller for the base plus MedDLe just to snap it to the grid. I then used qME to animate it and Micrografx Picture Publisher 6.0 for the skin shading. Q2 Modeller again to make the feet stick to the ground. Known Bugs : Slingshot is not the most accurate representation of a Harrier VTOL jet. The weapon seems a bit shaky sometimes because I used Q2 Modeller's Align function. Build/Animation time : 9 days * How to use this model * Open the ZIP file and extract it to your baseq2\players\slingshot directory. * Copyright / Permissions * You are welcome to create your own skins for Slingshot but you must send me a copy. You can also use the model as a base for your own model but you must send me a copy and include my name in the credits. Also, do not try to profit from Slingshot's model. Hasbro's lawyers will profit more... QUAKE(R) and QUAKE II(R) are registered trademarks of id Software, Inc.
