The "Bald Dude" Mod!

The Appearance Mod is still a work in progress. I'm currently working on integrating it better into the Char creation screen. I'll post some screenshots once I have it working properly.

Hey Pixote :)
Good to see you in the forums, it's about time.
 
Thanks Mash…your excellent work is always appreciated. It was the reason why I rebuilt the maps for Fallout 2.
 
How's the status on the bald dude? Did Wolna uploaded what he has finished so far?

Would be great to see this mod released before 2012. :p

No, he hasn't. Hey, Mr.Wolna, you out there somewhere?

Well, the leather armor is almost done, but given that i'm making this stuff alone, your 2012 estimate may not be that far off the mark... :shrug:

Mr. Wolna had this to say on Feb 24th:

Mr.Wolna said:
@ x'il and other

yes i am still here.

But i will be not available for something like 1 year. (a lot of private stuff).

So i do not work on this any more. I will upload all the finished stuff soon. Do not understand me false. I really would like to finish this, but i cannot cause i must to deal some things. Sorry for that, i hope for your understanding.

Wolna

His last post was on Mar 2nd. Hmm, I can only assume he's currently preoccupied now.
 
Okay, then that's it...... Either we wait one year for his stuff or the work needs to be repeated...

Man, I've told him two times.

Supercool. Not.
 
I understand that people quit modding due personal issues bit then again how busy can one be to not be able to upload stuff?

This is not a personal atack toward mr wolna or somthing it's just something it happens to often.. Allot of hard work gets lost this way..
 
Mr. Baldie will be completed (probably not before RP 2.0), I will help out - but I need to complete some tasks for Mutants Rising first, I’ve promised to help with their mod and don’t like leaving them high and dry without discharging my promises. As well it’s a cool mod to be working on…

X'il - What needs to be made – What did Mr. Wolna have to finish? What is your preferred technique?

It would be a shame if the Mr. Baldie Vault Boy image never got used…considering he is such a badass.

Well, if the jumpsuit animations listed as finished by Mr.Wolna on the Bald dude thread on your german forum is/was "current", then it's not much anyway (about a dozen or so animations)... on the bright side, he posted a lot of gif's on both threads. Gif's which i have already "collected" and which can be easily turned into frm's.

Ok, the metal armor is about at 35% and the jumpsuit (see above) is at about 10%. That's what need to be made, the rest (tribal, leather jacket, leather armor) is finished.

Time frame?

"When it's done", right? :wink:

About the jumpsuit: as much as i like Mr.Wolna's version with the exposed arms and black gloves, that detail actually adds more work and time. Given that apparently what he made is out of reach (or it's not a large percentage), maybe making the whole thing with just the bald head would be a good idea?

Something to consider for both, when and if i finish the metal armor, and for when you are ready.
 
Fixing Mr. Baldie Vault suit should be pretty easy (just long and painful). I will put my so called Photoshop talents to use here. Pass me all of the MAXX files for Mr. Baldie and I’ll build him the same as Mr. Wolna’s version – exposed arms and black gloves, and because he has finished a hand full already it will take less time overall. All of the frames will align perfectly in PS, so I will just mask out what I don’t need…but did Mr. Wolna’s pass you any of the FRM’s. I hope he isn’t languishing in a prison somewhere - 12 month sentence for football rioting… :dance:

Sure. But better yet, give me a week or two to finish the last 2 sets from the leather amor and i'll upload you the whole thing (so you can take both bald head and arms/gloves from it for the jumpsuit).

Obviously, i don't know what ninja-techniques and custom ps scripts you may use but here's a "possibly time-and-pain-saving tip": If you go back a few pages on this thread you'll see a discussion about PS and layers. And as i said to Mr.Wolna there, working with layers on PS when the result is just one layer (the jumpsuit) is more time-consuming than simple copy/pasting, giving the "frames resizing" issues. Mr.Wolna worked on some scripts that cut the time shorter but it still takes more time (you may not think 10 or 20 extra seconds per frame is a lot but when you're making 10,000 frames well... it becomes a lot, trust me :wink:)

.Pixote. said:

Nope. But like i wrote a couple of posts above, he posted gif's of the animations he made. I have collected all the gif's i could find and i'm turning them into frm's. They require tweaking for some frames offset issues and a couple of views are not available for a couple of animations but they'll have to do... i'll upload the frm's i pull out of the gif's to you along with the leather armor frm's. :)

OK – I’ll be here….
 
The leather amor is finished.

Since i don't know when (or if) the other amors left will get finished, here's the leather armor frm's:

.Pixote., i'll be uploading the few frm's from the jumpsuit sometime this week. :wink:
