MintyBoy 0 Posted February 15, 2003 Nah, definitely not a Titan. They usually had solid carapace over the top of the shoulders and the shins, and a heapload of thick pipes and gubbins in the torso. Definitely based on a Space Marine, just scaled up a bazillion percent.. I know, I need to get out more. Edit: Spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanuckle_00 0 Posted February 16, 2003 The patlabor bots are my favorite mecha. Noone has made a better mecha pack than the heavy gear two pack. They stand upright and roll, but if martin doesn't do walk animations then its gonna roll too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But addon makers also should be thin skinned and overly sensitive. If noone ever made anything that someone didn't criticize, we'd still be living in caves eating nuts and berries.

mooncaine 0 Posted February 19, 2003 Love that OGRE. I've gotten into Addon making in the past week, and with the generous assistance of Sigma-6, who sent me examples of the original .hpp files, I've been able to make one functional tracked urban assault vehicle, in spite of the bizarre [to me] secrecy many addon makers seem to insist on. Alone or with some help, I plan to make GEVs and other units from the OGRE/GEV games--I'm not sure about whether an OGRE can be done properly, since it has more than two sets of tracks, but I'll find out more as I go along. In any case, the actual OGRE is not as exciting to me as all the other units--when I played GEV with friends, we tended to create scenarios without OGREs. I'm also planning to make hovertanks and "combat cars" like the ones seen in David Drake's _Hammer's Slammers_ book series. Why do I reveal my plans, when others don't? Because I am not afraid of someone else making a 'competing' addon. Go ahead; I'll play it and enjoy it. If I feel like mine would be better, I'll keep making it anyway. I'm not doing it for money, after all. I do this for fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure who made it, but I would like to congratulate who ever it was on a job well done Only prob I could see with some ORGE tanks. Not being able to use all the guns those things have dripping off of them Maybe a separate gunner mounting script? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooncaine 0 Posted February 19, 2003 I will look for that; thanks! I sure would appreciate more info on where to find it [anyone?]. I hope it can be decompressed and examined, so I can learn from it. It so totally sucks that addon makers try to hide what they've learned in files that can't be decompressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
