  • Lavis Cannon

    Wow, its been awhile. Well, just fyi, I'm m.i.a from ffxi modding and it will be like that until the end of spring semester in may. After that, who knows. I'm lined up to mod/hack other games summer time so I dunno.

    Anyways, a friend of mine requested this lavis cannon originally by Deo to be retextured. Well, most don't think I do requests and I just say I will do it sometime, but guess what? Its done.

    I've taken Deo's work and made it the real lavis cannon from pso. It doesn't have the fancy glow effects like pso did as I cannot do that for this game, if it was oblivion, you'd bet your ass it be a 1:1 conversion and it would have glow effects.



    I decided that I would make this available to the public. My friend didn't mind and I'm guessing Deo doesn't mind (he's been credited anyways in it). He tested it out in game and it looks exactly like it does in the hq renders.

    Now, I could bore you with the issues with this weapon (like stretching issues due to what Deo did), but I won't. The weapon will work fine in game and the "tricks" I've applied, you won't even notice a single problem with it anyways.

    Ports?
    Read what it says in the file. After reading that, don't ever ask me to port anything for you unless 1. I am willing to. Porting weapons is easy people. Nothing hard about it. If someone actually would pay me for that, I'd laugh my ass off. IF its that easy, why won't I do it? Here is a word to remember, TIME!

    Note, I only finished his request in due time becuase I know him lol. If I don't know you, you get that "I'll do it sometime" response lol. You can leave your comments here if you want, I don't care. I was only looking for a response from him on it and I got it already lol.

    So for now, its HF ONRY, KTHXBAI, MUCH LOVE

    Final thoughts
    Oh yeah, I might come back to this post one day and post color changes to the weapon like it says in the file. Peace out peeps, I'll have some new shyat to show after the semester in May maybe (huge maybe tbh lol). *Goes back into M.I.A status*

    Re: Lavis Cannon

    Seems I like to take things to a new level and improve on what I have done.

    Double Cannon Red Sexyness


    Expirimentals
    Black


    Aqua


    White


    Changelog
    ==Fixed the current issue I had==

    When I worked on the black version, I modified my textures and when I did that, the issue I had stated in my file was fixed. But its not done yet so anything labeled under the expirimental list is not ready for public release.

    I'm not releasing the double cannon either yet even when the textures are fixed. If you cannot wait, you can always PM/IM me for w/e and I'll give whatever one to you.

    Oh, and my Empress armor is coming along nicely (body shown in shots). Skeletal weight is set and things are NICELY animated. I was going to update my old EG thread today on these forums, but you know what? Don't feel like it. I'll come back in April-June and post the latest update on that.

      Re: Lavis Cannon

      Ok, I was informed yesterday that the double cannon looks nothing like that in pso. Well, why did I do that then? Well, haven't played pso in ages and I figured it looked like the typical double saber. Thats what you get when you have no pictures at the time you're doing it.

      ==Changelog==
      - Scaled the double cannon down some so it doesn't look wierd (Not 100% complete yet)-
      - Rebuilt double cannon to match the PSO counterpart
      -"De-applied" trick I used for Lavis Cannon

      ==>Todo<==
      -- Remodel the hilt
      -- Finish remodeling the blades
      -- Retexture the hilt
      --Finish fixing alignment issues

      ==>Current Issues<==
      ---Due to "de-applying" that trick, the blade model/texture looks a little messed up

      So this is a rough draft of the "real" double cannon. I still have a whole lot of modeling to redo and polish up so I will not release to the public just yet. Its not up to my specifications yet anyways.



      The difference I'm making from the PSO counterpart is that the blade in the PSO version was a dull looking purple color (basically solid colors imo) and not like the pretty lavis cannon. So I am not changing the textures for the blade itself. Those will remain the same.

      Now if you really really want to go ahead and test it out despite what I have told you, PM/AIM/MSN ftw. AIM/MSN would be better though as me looking at my PMs may take me a while to get to lol. Just know thats just a rough draft and the final draft will probably be different (Uh yeah, it WILL BE lol).
