Eugh. I hate those mimes. They always acted wierd... especially with 'Pierre' (the mime 'boss') ....

The game was good though

[superracer0022]

that looks pretty weird SL

I removed the 11mb file and replaced it with an exact game map, model, and textures zip file, this one less than 2 meg. I had sooooooo many downloads on those textures that my connection slowed to a crawl. . So ok if so many people are interested then where's the SDK ...Hello Gearbox

[mrdefender]

I doubt it would be released any time soon...

ive started mapping for quake 3 making the temple but i want the nightfire sdk

[superracer0022]

does anybody know how to make an invisible wall in quake 3?

[PaulZ108]

I just noticed the generic Bond skin in the pack of skins SparedLife has up for download. Looks like EA planned for there to be at least some form of Bond in multiplayer before MGM said no.

EDIT: Just noticed I posted the exact same thing earlier in this thread when it was first posted...

[SparedLife]

I had the same thought but maybe the skin was left there for user made models

[superracer0022]

ive finished the temple for quake 3 and it looks pretty good for my first map, now i need that sdk for nightfire so i can make it for that since i know all the measures and got all my own custom textures. anybody know an eta on the sdk?

[SparedLife]

The question is not WHEN but is there an ETA. I have taken this as far as I wanted to go when I started, I just like doing the skins.

The British end has someone working on an extraction tool that will give better access to files than I have, hopefully they can extend that to mapping tools and modeling tools. I for one cannot see why they would delay the tools unless it's just BOND (Pierce) legal issues. Cause they sure didn't delay the game.

[SparedLife]

I textured the MP player model Mi6_tux in various animal skin tuxedos if anyone would like to use them. There are some instructions on how to use skins in the game.

I tried working with the MDL files to create a new instance of the model but so far nothing. Right now it's just a replacement skin. Can't tell if a new model would be downloaded automatically like in HL.

GameSpy hosted a moderated chat with Randy Pitchford of Gearbox back in October and I asked about that. Sadly, automatic downloading is disabled.

[superracer0022]

it sucks that they might not release the sdk because of legal issues, oh well i guess i will just play another game because nightfire is beginning to lose its appeal since there will be no new updates or editing tools for it coming out

[superracer0022]

my temple map for quake 3 has finally been posted on fileplanet if you wanna check it out http://www.fileplane...00/122313.shtml

Now is a good time to discontinue auto downloading since Internet connections are getting faster.

Hmmm Quake 3 (Arena), I have that game somewhere but I haven't had it installed for a couple years. I never liked Quake skinning. I have about a dozen friends who get together once a month and play some kind of Urban mod LAN style. Although lately they have been playing BF1942 about once a week.

[superracer0022]

probably urban terror, that a pretty good mod for quake 3

[Defender007]

This is going directly to Sparedlife. How the @#$% do I download the skins in the file structure that is right at the top of your page?

[SparedLife]

Sorry that is only a text document showing the file structure and file names for anyone wanting to build an external file structure for custom skins. I made the MP skins available for anyone wanting to make custom skins, the rest of the files just take way to much space. Were you looking for any particular skin file?

[Alhexx]

So you guys have been searching for a way to open the assets.007, huh?
As for the SDK: Don't wait for it ...

However, there is a good message I have to tell you:
I'v been able to decode the 007 Format, and I've written a Decompressor and a Compressor for Nightfire's .007-Archives.

Neato, It took me several months to get the time to break down that assets file but I didn't have a way to make tools for download. Now we just need modeler and mapper tools and we be set


I have Oni but never tried skinning it. I liked the game but went through it and then uninstalled some time back. If I catch up on other games (yea right) then maybe I'll get back to it and try your Oni tools.

Right now I'm trying to edit the BloodRayne textures, I have the pod files extracted but the TEX files are giving me problems. So if you could whip up a TEX2(whatever) and a (whatever)2TEX I'd be grateful.

I just picked up Mafia for $13.50 at Target, hope I get time in this century to check it out. Of course I'm reserving sections of the future for Half-Life 2.

[Defender007(2)]

I am Defender007 (if anyone was wondering).

I need the skin file where Rook has the scar on his face and the Pierce Brosnan Bond. I also need the gun files.

[Defender007(2)]

SparedLife! I need the skin where Rook has the burnt face and the Pierce Brosnan skin. Maybe a couple of outfits too. I'll list them here.

-Astronaut skin(Drake)
-Astronaut skin(Rook)
-Combat Suit(Bond)

Weapons:

-P99(p2k)
-laser
-sg5 commando
-shotgun
-desert eagle(defender)

[Defender007(2)]

all files in the structure

[SparedLife]

I zipped some up here NightFire Textures but you should be able by now to get the extractor. Check with the British Site for any updates to the extractor they were working on.
Glad to see someone's interested in doing some mod work

[Defender007(2)]

i just turned raphael drake into saddam

[Defender007(2)]

i also turned rook into bin laden by moving his face features around. i also changed all of the bad guy voices to my little brothers!

[Defender007(2)]

sparedlife

how many megs are the textures that u extracted?

and how the heck do i get to BOND IMAGES from the homepage? i went onto the british site and all i could get to was the vanquish map

[Defender007(2)]

**** my bin laden rook dont work the beerd is now the neck! ****

[SparedLife]

It's almost a 100 meg about 1200 files in the model/texture folder alone. I looked at the m16 site but could not find a reference to the extractor Andrew Lucas spoke of. Hopefully some user friendly tools will be available soon. I thought I saw someone reference an editor they made somewhere in this forum though.
How about some screenshots of your work so far?

[Defender007(2)]

cant dont have the tool

i finally fixed me bin laden rook

oh yeah and i changed my nightfire to 3rd person
