I was trying to put the Quake 2 gunner into Gzdoom, but I ran into this:

Here is my modeldef:

don't ask why I am using those sprites[/spoiler]
Any solutions?
BTW: I haven't finished the idle animation yet, so that will get longer

Looks as though the model itself will need to be moved up. Open it up in a model editor, and physically move the model until its feet rest on the "floor" plane

Where can I find a free editor? I got the frame names from a model viewer.

Download Quake 2 Model Editor: http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2/plan ... mdlr9b.zip

Open the Gunner in that program.

1) Press A (or Edit -> Select All).

2) Activate the "Move" tool.

3) You will see buttons labelled X, Y and Z. Make sure Y is the only depressed button (in other words, deactivate X and Z).

4) Tick the option that says "Effect frame range". Leave "From" to 0 but change "To" to the last frame for the Gunner. To find out which is the last frame, Edit -> Go to Frame and scroll down to see which frame is the last. Or you can also drag the Frame slider at the bottom of the program.

5) Now using the move tool on either the front or side viewports, move the Gunner up. Do not use the move tool on the top view port!

6) File -> Export -> Export to MD2. Done!

I got the gunner mostly working

http://basementnet.dyndns.org/ryan/Files/gunner.zip

Drag and drop the file onto gzdoom
The actor's name is testgunner.
IT IS STILL INCOMPLETE. It needs more work and the grenade launcher attack

Very cool. I think those are one of my favourite looking Q2 bad guys.

But... isn't he a little short for a stormtr... um gunner?

Posted: **Sat Aug 11, 2007 22:16**

if you mean that shot I posted, that got fixed

EDIT:I think I know what you mean, I will try to play with scale some

Posted: **Sat Aug 11, 2007 22:46**

Yeah, the original was quite big in quake2 but this guy seems about normal human size.

Posted: **Sun Aug 12, 2007 1:10**

I think I fixed it. Redownload

Yup, that's more like it.

Now, there is another problem. He seems a bit weak when you pit him against other monsters. Try summonfriend testgunner when there is an imp around and as often as not the imp will pwn the gunner. He just doesn't seem to do enough damage to other enemies for some reason - although I thought he tore my health away pretty efficiently.

I think it has to do with the fact quake 2 attacks were slightly weaker(it took 2 double barrel shotgun shots to kill him) I kept the original hp of 175, but I will increase that. I also increased the attack some. He now can kill a imp at least.

You're welcome InsanityBringer!

This model looks sweet with Torr Samaho's model interpolation code!

Here's a custom compiled GZDoom with Torr's code if you'd like to see it in action:

Too bad the movement is jerky. Hopefully Torr can fix it.

-

That just made my day...! I tested this with Zan Zan... WOH! That looked soooo nice now!

But the movements were jerky at some points (sometimes this "thing" at the start tends to flip sometimes... lol). Only thing missing here is probably smooth movements \ turning.

[EDIT]
Also, InsanityBringer's gunner looks so cool, especially while shooting

It's actually from Quake 2
