Big mech thing, by nobody.

Oh man, it is nice. I like it alot. It brings something new to the battlefield with its high speed,huge salvo(weaponry) and incredible height. It's like a tank but much faster and thus has armor more on par with an armored personnel carrier yet nothing stands in its path. I've spoken with nobody and more mechs are on the way. I've also helped him get in contact with another mechwarrior addon maker who has been having problems and they are going to help each other all for the sake of mechwarrior addons being released to the community. Thanks, Nobody.

arent they supposed to walk...?

[peanuckle_00 0]

Yeah but its like all the ofp animators out there aren't trying to help the mecha animators out. Therefore the mecha addon makers are just making them roll. It's kinda sad how things turn out when the community just doesn't answer the call to one another.

Edit: It's also somewhat on the shoulders of the addon makers allow anyone who is willing to try to animate the model to have a chance. If you're making a mech and someone says,"Let me try to make it walk.", let them.

I haven't tried in a while, but last i did, i couldnt get it to work on a tank class vehicle. I have no clue if anyone else has. I also didn't try too hard, but if given the chance i will.

How about making a mission where you'd have to defend the planet agains invading aliens from another planet using advanced technology (i.e. mechs)?

Vehicles don't use RTM files for animation except the Scud, so trying to animate it with Maya or the OFP Anim program won't work.

I've been trying to point this out all along... this is the thing I was going to say.

[5hole 0]

Has anyone tried using the soldier class for these? Just make a mech as a really big infantry unit? Can it be done?

I'm sure it would bring about it's own set of problems, but it could certainly solve the mobility issue...

I'm sure the mobility issue could be overlooked. I'd rather have a rolling mech than a human bio orga mech that bleeds.

Edit: He also has another one in the works with a forest camo. I'm going to have to start off all my missions with MECH.

[ShadowY 0]

Dunno if someone of u already saw this

but some people really like it to play......what i`ve heard is that it kicks MECH`s ass anyways its nice for u kids futuristic addon

[peanuckle_00 0]

DuuuuuDE!!! That is very impressive.

[Frisbee 0]

Wandrung Panzer as in... wanzer as in...Front Mission?

Cool,I really loved that game

[peanuckle_00 0]

The wanzur is a fine piece. All the little details really impress me. If you look at the inside of the legs theres a very cool texture indicating working machinery like wires n things. The cockpit inside has a nice green hue to it and when you turn you hear the gears move from the inside but not the outside. I'm sure there's more but those are just a few things that impress me about the wanzur. Wanzur is a monster. Back to the topic though, Mech is going to be updated with another camo and more armor. The author is fixing it for the better. I'm going to make missions for these mecha. Perhaps involving some memorable characters like scientists, a special forces group sent in to destroy them, and since I've become so accustomed to killing russians I might just throw General Guba in the story.

Edit: Composition.

[Ruskiesrule 0]

we need some leg/walking animations for these!

[der bastler 0]

You are free to create some animations...

[peanuckle_00 0]

I came up with a scenario for some missions involving these mecha. Btw the shadowcat is out now. Here it reads..:

Some time in the future on the island of Nogova...

Russia invades again

thus beginning the conflict now known as the Twelve Day War.

The FIA,

a resistance army in the Nogova has gained an upper hand in the war against invading russia

with mecha: giant, humanoid armor, like a tank

yet much stronger, punched out in mass numbers in assembly lines,

standing vigilant to protect against russian invaders

thereby decreasing the islands' dependence on NATO.

"Russia faces being excluded from NATO as a result of the actions taken place on the island of Nogova. Actions that have happened before in 1985."

Since the FIA has control of their own situation they have asked NATO to stay out of the conflict by not committing troops or even a peace keeping force, however,

The President of the United States is holding

diplomatic peace talks with Russia

urging them to stop the invasion,

but more importantly to find out why Russia has reverted back to its old ways.

NATO obliges to Nogova's request and does not get involved in the conflict.

scene2

Through diplomatic peace talks with Russians,

the United States has seen that Russia

shows no effort at trying to live at peace with Nogova

and the Malden Islands.

Russia has been excluded from NATO.

Russia's reason for invasion is that

Russian technological researchers have been kidnapped and are being held along with Scud nuclear weapons.

When questioned about this the president of Nogova denies all claims and admits that some Russian parties defected to the FIA during the resistance uprising of the cold war crisis in 85 that saw Nogova's liberation.

Investigation into the kidnappings led by the United States CIA have shown no evidence of such actions by Nogova.

When asked about the advancement in technology, Nogova representatives say that its the result of research at the University of Nogova by professors there.

In a strange turn of events, Russia has succeeded in taking Nogova and the FIA have become friendly with Russia. They have formed a partnership to help each other in the advancement of technology. FIA freedom fighters have been formed into a special unit involved in protecting the nation from invasion. As a result, Russia, who still remains excluded from NATO, has expanded its communist empire into the Malden Island Chain, doubling its power. The United States continues its investigation into Russian interests in the island and the sudden advancement in technology unlike anything current in the United States.

i love that wanzer!!! only thing is, about 100m away its textures turn all grey  is there anyway for me to fix it? (most my setting are all high) or is it in the addon itself?

[Guest]

I also have the white out at 100m out, it really brings a good addon down because they stick out like sore thumbs in the OFP world. Otherwise its really (really) neat

[dsawan 0]

Hi, could someone pleasem e-mail me the wanzer mech add-on. I am having a difficult time downloading from the site and I keep getting diconnected from it or corrupted files. It would be easier if somone could email me with it zipped up. Thanksdsawan@earthlink.net

[Global Enforcer 0]

you can also get the wanzer here> http://ofpaddon.tripod.co.jp <click download above the pictures...

[peanuckle_00 0]

Nobody has a new mech now. It stands up to the wanzer very well in a fight.

I'm also looking forward to one of those new warhammer mechs but they look way too big. The mechs from Nobody stand as tall as an apartment but those warhammer mechs are way too big.

But is that a MOUT marine I see at the bottom??!!

[peanuckle_00 0]

Out of a sweet spot in my heart for Vladimyr Putin I've decided that I can't envision a USA vs. Russia conflict going past the 20th century and I need to convey that in my work. So in this story the usa will be going against terrorists with the help of Russia. Check out my new story.

Some time in the future on the island of Nogova...

FALLEN, A group of Russian terrorists and defectors invade Nogova posing as Russia

thus beginning the conflict now known as the Twelve Day War.

The FIA,

a resistance army in the Nogova has gained an upper hand in the war against invading terrorists

with mecha: giant, humanoid armor, like a tank

yet much stronger, punched out in mass numbers in assembly lines,

standing vigilant to protect against invaders

thereby decreasing the islands' dependence on NATO.

"Russia faces being excluded from NATO as a result of the actions taken place on the island of

Nogova. Actions that have happened before in 1985."

Since the FIA has control of their own situation they have asked NATO to stay out of the conflict

by not committing troops or even a peace keeping force, however,

The President of the United States is holding

diplomatic peace talks with Russia

urging them to help stop the invasion,

but more importantly to find out why the terrorists have reverted back to Russia's old ways.

NATO obliges to Nogova's request and does not get involved in the conflict. Russia wrestles with

its mandates and asks for time to determine a plan.

scene2

Through diplomatic peace talks with Russians,

the United States has seen that FALLEN

shows no effort at trying to live at peace with Nogova

and the Malden Islands.

Russia has been excluded from most NATO meetings in fear of spies of the FALLEN gathering

intelligence.

Russia comes forth with valuable information indicating that

Russian technological researchers have been kidnapped by the FIA and are being held along with Scud

nuclear weapons. Russia fears that the scientists as well as Nogova will fall under the theology

of the FALLEN.

When questioned about this the president of Nogova denies all claims and admits that some Russian

parties defected to the FIA during the resistance uprising of the cold war crisis in 85 that saw

Nogova's liberation.

Investigation into the kidnappings led by the United States CIA have shown no evidence of such

actions by Nogova but the CIA says, "We're not putting it past them. It seems like something

they'd do considering their information. They (FIA) think that Russia is invading again so it's

very plausible."

When asked about the advancement in technology, Nogova representatives say that its the result of

research at the University of Nogova by professors there.

In a strange turn of events, FALLEN has succeeded in taking Nogova and the FIA have become friendly

with FALLEN. They have formed a partnership to help each other in the advancement of technology.

FIA freedom fighters have been formed into a special unit involved in protecting the nation from

invasion. As a result, FALLEN has expanded its theology into the Malden Island Chain, doubling its power. The United States continues its

investigation into FALLEN's interests in the island and the sudden advancement in technology unlike

anything current in the United States. Conspiracy theorists suspected the presence of a fourth

power. (The russian defector working for the FIA had some of his colleagues kidnapped and taken to

Nogova to help with the resistance to advance and support his exaustive research in mech

technology. He hopes they will help him fight off FALLEN but something happens to him....)

[peanuckle_00 0]

Okay I changed the story once again. This time the president's sister gets kidnapped and the terrorists name isn't FALLEN anymore but something that has more to do with when a military unit breaks off and seeks their own goals.

that big mech you see there is a warlord titan, and it's one of the smaller walkers in the 40k universe. there are imperator titans, which are forty metres tall and have a hellstorm cannon designed to kill companies of troops, as well as about ten other weapon systems. in 40k, things are on a grand scale. way too large for ofp really, the large battles. but if you had the system, wouldn't it be... beautiful in every sense of the world to see one of those million strong battles? or billion strong? entire armies of tanks, of titans? the huge explosions of planetary bombardments or crashing twelve km long battleships? <salivates madly> i think i need a lie down.

nice mechs as well, pity they won't walk. that would be the icing on the cake, and make all sorts of future mods better. i'd love a battlemech mod, as well as the 40k one.

oh... the guy at the bottom could be a cadian shock trooper either, i can't tell what he's armed with. it might be a lasgun or a minimi
