My attempt at making a mech

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

Thanks again for thos cockpit pics thoughs picture will do thanks   are thos from MechWarrior 3: Pirate's Moon i think you said?  I may go out and get that game looks much better than MechWarrior4 the cockpit dose anyway

Yes, it's from Mechwarrrior 3 Pirate's Moon, which is an addon for Mechwarrior 3 (you need the original MW3 CD to install Pirate's Moon). The best thing about Pirate's Moon, besides more mechs and weapons, is the fact that max resolution is 1600 x 1200, whilst MW3's is 1024 x 768. If there only were a way to get MW3's maps and campaign to work with Pirate's Moon...

Both are a lot more "simulators" than MW4 IMHO.. my fav mech is the MW3 Shadowcat, which looks a lot "meaner" than its MW4 version. Out of curiosity I also tried to config mechs close to their BattleTech Firestorm Simulator configs, only got the Owens, Thor and Awesome close to it. Btw, the Owens is the mech with the largest MechWarrior presence, if you count in that it's a descendant of the Jenner, which starred in Mechwarrior 1...

Quote[/b] ]Try doing one of the Light mechs like the "Firefly"  "Owens" or the "Puma"    and if you need help with it id be glad to help.

From the light Mechs is the Shadow-Cat the Mech i like most and think i will do thisone thn

I was think of cross the Maverick (Recon mech) from Earthsiege2 with the Legs from the Timberwolf (Madcat)  

i have started with the upper torso it if you want i can send you a sreenshots

Duh, I guess I am a moron. I thought those cockpit screens were from within OFP.

I wish they where

Small update did some more texture work added some more details and did some work on the cockpit.

i may change some of the weapons cos i've added the Installation for 5 LRM missiles, ammunition about 24.

BushWaker of Mechwarrior 3! Nice one Stu!

When you would i have a mech for you too, ive made some too, but i only got one now, anothers i lost by format C

its a Vulture but from Mechwarrior 4 (Venegeance)

I had over a year to do it, because dont had many time for it, but it looks very nice, when you have interests then you can contact me under:

MSN: yipey88@hotmail.com

or email : yipey88@hotmail.com

But great work at your Bushwaker, it was my favorite mech in MW3! but in MW4 its the vulture with his big nose :P

Ya the Vulture is really cool , but its a bit too weak

[Sen†ry ˛°°ł 0]

Here are 3 Screens about my Vulture.

Here is the original one of it ^^

is it made with 3ds max? because the model is very smooth , but it looks really cool

Ive made it in parts, the begin was the legs, then middle torso, and at last the guns left and right, i had many hours in that one! but it looks good i think

What do you mean with weak? For a 60 ton fire support mech, I think it can hold its own quite well... and in MW3, you can still make your own armor and weaponry etc configs to your liking, so no problem!!!

Here are some Screens from my older ones, posted from a year by ofp.info, and some changes at vulture.

Here are (from left side) Vulture, Daishi, Bushwaker [21. 3. 2004]

And here a newer version... posted at [22. 3. 2004]

But the another screens in the Oxy Viewer (Bulldozer) are the newest of my "baby" :P

Thanks for comments all,

@Sen†ry ˛°°ł   Your mechs look great    Ive sent you an email  

I've added a Destroyed version to it still more to be done  

[stu 0]

The model is almost finished just a little bit more texture work to be done and then the weapons to be setup and the walking animation fixed up and its done    

3 more update pictures

really cool now it looks a bit more like the Bushwaker

My next Mech i will make is the Shadowcat i am a big fan of it now don't know why

I wa think about make a Mechwarrior Mod , but i don't have the time to make a mod

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

Nice progress on the Bushwalker, stu!

@ Desert-Rat: Do you want me to supply you with pix of MW3 Shadow Cat? It looks much better than MW4 version, and since I have Pirate's Moon addon (since I got MW3GoldEdition), I can make 1600 x 1200 pix

[Desert-Rat 0]

yes that would be cool i have MW3 too but only without addons , but could be cool if possible front , side view etc ;)

i have found out a cool variant of it you have to give a Shadowcat LRM5 , SRM4 , LBX AC5 and LBX AC2 thats a really deady mix ;) i have won against some Daishis and Madcats ;)

Wow, that looks brilliant! If you animate it as well as the Titan, it'll be superb!

Hmm... i got good anims, how at my GDI Juggernaut, here a video of it

ftp://www.gamezone.cz:8021/ofpd/videos/jugg_test_walk.rar

It looks really realistic, think more you cant do in OFP, atm has it got a forward and backward animation and a static anim if it stays.

Think we can use that for the mechs too

@Stu

Thx for the mail, ill write you soon back, when i got tme. GJ at Bushwaker ;) And your start with MadCat is not bad too

hi sentry and stu

@stu

wow your mech is amazing i really like your smooth legs and arms

textures are nice too

btw. how much polys?

@sentry

sry for the long time being offline have seen this post now at work and thinking about improving walkanimation for the Juggernaut.

got some nice script ideas for a better synchronisation of the speed of the vehicle and the animation.

cya later m8

@Sen†ry ˛°°ł

The GDI Juggernaut looks amazing and the new anims aswell great work

@Jack Hammersmith

Thanks the polys on the model are 4308 but i'm going to remove some bits that are not really needed i want to try get it below 4000 if can

another pic of the madcat and the bushwacker. Need to redo the legs on the madcat

Why reduce the polys, i think you wait for Armed Assault, overworked engine, i think youll can use there more polys, and its an update how VBS1 ,

I hope you can use there 5`000 - 10`000 Polys!
