'Holo'? Hmmm... what does it look like?

Oh, wait. It might be that mineral site marker.
I've read somewhere that Locators place holograms where minerals are. If 'Holo' is that mineral site marker, then... well!

Judas

Yes.

When did you play the game for the last time? :p

If you need more space to upload this stuff I can get you access to upload to http://download.wiredforwar.org

ALL THE MODELS + TEXTURES

http://download.wiredforwar.org/Game/Machines Models %26 Textures.zip

In .x and .obj (Wavefront). If anybody needs the files in another format, call me!

Is there any way to retrieve the animation files? If not maybe the original machines animator would be generous enough to provide them if he still has them. ;)

Back in the day I had the contact info and blog site for the animator. I don't remember how we had that; it was something like imdb I think. Now all I can get from a quick search is that the director of the game was Mark Hardisty, and that's just from Wikipedia. Anyone have better luck/memory?

@Mahmoud
Yeah you can probably find it in the old forum, he had a website with a bunch of gifs of running machines. I think Griffin or something was in his name?

bilal

@Mahmoud
It's this guy: http://www.hogton.com/

He still has all of the gifs up here alongside the videos: http://www.hogton.com/animation/index.htm

Mahmoud

All right, so... draw straws to see who asks?

bilal

@Mahmoud lol

Let's make @Judas do it!

machines-Mov.zip
Here we go the mov files from that site.

AvionAris

@JRL101 Even the E3 intro is here! I've never heard of that one, actually...
...but good work!

JRL101

@Encrypted thanks i just used my ripping skill cough ad block cough to professional extract the file location. I hadnt seen the E3 trailer either, but back when i first tried this i went to that site. its just the quicktime players broken on the site.

AvionAris

@JRL101 Well, I would use this to play sequences from Machines and extract them. RAD Video Tools is a really nice program, I have to say, although I couldn't really find some of these videos in the original game's folder. How odd.

JRL101

@Encrypted WOW that's an old program. I remember RAD I used to use it to edit windows XP all the time.

AvionAris

@JRL101 Yus, but it works perfectly. It isn't really hard to turn .smks to .mp4s because of the simple commands.

Edit WinXP? How did ya do that?

JRL101

@Encrypted just modifying batch files etc.
