Need help with new DALEK-craft mod project.
Fri, 01/20/2017 - 08:39 (edited)

AFTER. The 1953 War of the Worlds mod is complete, my next mod project will be a dalek mod. I can't call it the "dalek mod" though because that name is already taken. Dalek craft features ONLY daleks. There is essentially just one mob, The dalek. However it has no casing yet so you must build a casing for it & programe the dalek to your will. A GUI will come up where you add items & computer parts into the dalek. But first you will need a dalek creature. They can be obtained by naturally finding them, converting animals to daleks, using the spawner or killing already developed daleks. After you have obtained a dalek you must then kill it. It will then drop itself as an item. You then put the item in the dalek casing along with the other required things. There will be two slots below that where you put the special dalek tools e.g Dalek gun & suction cup... Once activated it will behave acording to it's programing. There are multipule colours that the daleks can come in. Naturally spawning daleks will be most commonly found in wrecked space ship structures & can also be found terrorising villages.

If we are to go into further detail with this then I'll give you the link to the Minecraft forum thread. Minecraft forum -> forum -> mapping & modding -> WIP mods -> DALEK-craft project...

Just to take some stress off

Just to take some stress off you, you don't have to make individual parts move. If you want. The dalek can just rotate as a whole. If you know what I mean.

@th sloth

Multiple things:

  • Glad you like the model. I tried to make it as accurate as possible
  • How do you want the base thicker? like make the base plates thicker, or add in the fender base wrapping around each panel?
  • Did you want me to make variants too? like edit it slightly to make a model for the dalek supreme or new paradigms
  • Do you want more textures in different colors and/or higer resolution textures (I already played with a higer resolution one)
  • I have no idea how how to make the model rotate. Kane has a video tutorial on how to make parts rotate together, but I have not watched it yet. If you were to do so, I would suggest having the gun arm and plunger arm move as the arms, not animate anything for legs, and make the head be either a combination of the three parts of the dome, the eyestalk, and the eye, or just the last two.
  • How do you want me to send you the textures, .tcn, and .java for the model?

Yes I would like it to rap
Mon, 01/30/2017 - 07:24

Yes I would like it to rap around the pannels please.

I just need different colours of dalek. 

Animate it how you think is appropriate. 

I don't really mind how you send it to me, its up to you to decide if you want.

Ok I made fender panels for
Tue, 01/31/2017 - 00:30

Ok I made fender panels for the model. Unfortunately, they have to stay 1 pixel thick, or they take up too much space on the texturemap. However, I still think they stick out enough to give the skirt some girth. There's picture's in the folder on dropbox.

I also went ahead and made three more textures for the daleks; if you want more, just let me know. I made 16x and 32x textures for the red/gold dalek supreme, black for Dalek Sec, and muddy green ones meant to resemble the military daleks from "Victory of the Daleks"

Feel free to use all or none of them, just please give me credit for the model and textures if you decide to use them

Here's the dropbox link. You'll need to export the java from techne yourself.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jn3ft39mp5w4cr3/AABkReIsSG40ci9lKzf6HALba?dl…

 

Also, I was thinking, if you know how to make rideable entities, you could use the dalek model, textured with only the skirt and fender panels and make Davros' life support chair. If you decide to do that, I will gladly make textures for it.

Hmmm. I was able to view/download it from the same link just fine. I can re-send it to you in an e-mail if you give me your address.

I'll try to get the dye color textures done by the week's end

The dyed textures did not take as long as I thought they would.

16x:

32x

I also made textures for davros' chair. They are now in the original folder I made a link for.

EXELLENT!!! Simply perfect! 

However, I have a Mac computer where techne won't run so I may have trouble getting the models into MCreator. Do you know a way around that?
