UNICON warfare for ofp.

[-ZG-BUZZARD 0]

Yeah, OFP still seems to have the upper hand with regards to editing, which is why I've finally decided to commit myself to try my hand at island creation, especially for this sci-fi scenario... I was thinking of trying my hand at creating some icy landscapes, which would also kinda justify the cool armor and helmets, since if conditions were any better soldiers would fall into temptation of taking all the hot-looking armor helmet off... Besides being lag-friendly of course...

hey! great idea a semi-desertic island would be cool

[mr. Duck 0]

Aye, lots of rocks, craters and maybe a forgotten alien base or something.

Without vegetation and BIS houses

(no lag, yee)

a preview of the fighter, which will be in the release.

[Sennacherib 0]

now the 2 flying vehicles are in game:

- the big: name - elsh (plane)

- the small: name - helel (chopper)

they have still some problems (geo lod etc) and the textures are not finished, and the big need a canopy.

btw the soldiers is the modified NUT_UUSMC (i have his permission), with a new helmet, and i just changed the color of the uniform.

[R0adki11 3949]

they are looking awesome, i cant wait to to get my hands on these

[Macser_old 0]

Yeah,lookin good there D@nte.

You've got a very definite theme

with your design.Which can sometimes

be hard to do.

Btw,the wing sections on that craft

out front,in the last pic(fighter?).Are they

animated?

[Sennacherib 0]

first of all R0adki11 and Macser, thx for your interest

that would be my wish for the moment, i open a lot of addons to watch how the addon-makers made the animations

Dante, those last pics look superb. There's only one thing that is bothering me:

The tanks look too high above the ground, it makes them look out of proportion.

[Sennacherib 0]

thx

don't worry, it's just the angle of view which give this effect.

preview of a weapon; this is a mix of the hkG11, imagination, and the idea of the oicw.

[Sennacherib 0]

ok, now the low polys model is finished:

[mr. Duck 0]

Fighter looks good dude, have you sorted out that animation thing yet?

[Sennacherib 0]

not yet, i didn't work on this stuff for the moment, i create new ammo for the vehicle.

the Moloch tank almost finished:

^That's what I call a decent tank. You already got some ideas on armor strength and that sort of stuff? How about active defense (or some self-repair mechanism)?

could you explain?

No problemo

Armor strength:

I was wondering how strong you intend this tank to be. My tank (Geryon) has an armor=2100; value (my intentions was to make the Terran units slow (it is slow for a hover tank), but heavily armored).

Firepower:

Firepower is heavy with my tank. You know what the capabilities are. Watch out when you define the reloadTime. Even if your damage per shot is only 500 units, if your reloadTime is 1 second it still bashes everything in sight.

Mobility:

Like I stated previously, the Geryon has a max speed of 90 (km/h?), that's not fast for a scifi hover tank (Eldar grav tank from the Warhammer 40k universe is said to be capable of travelling at 800km/h?).

Active defense:

I now have an active defense for my tanks. If you shoot a guided missile at it, there's a big chance that the missile will be headed back to your direction, so if your not careful you might get killed by your own missile (I got this idea from Ghost In The Shell, but the script was from Diesel's A-10).

[Sennacherib 0]

oh ok, well in fact this army (thyria) has 2 different divisions

- fast: high speed +120 km/h (it's really funny for a tank ), and average weapons. (fast reload time)

- heavy: more slow but with heavy weapons and a high armor. (average reload time)

2100 !!! wow it's really high. and the geryon is not an heavy tank

in fact i use one of your old models as an heavy tank for the terrans.

active defense: hum!! nothing

[Sennacherib 0]

the moloch tank is finished currently i make the lods in oxygen. i still need to finished the weapons, and i think, i could release a first beta.

[Macser_old 0]

I like it.Nice clean textures.

Are they high res?

And,are your renders and mapping done in Maya?

Anyway,good to hear you feel ready for a

release.It's eagerly awaited.

[Sennacherib 0]

the turret and the hull have high res textures, not the other parts.

Quote[/b] ]And,are your renders and mapping done in Maya?

in fact i use wings 3d for the modelling, uvmapping, but i use 3dsmax for the normal maps (or photoshop if i use instead a bump map) and for the rendering. btw the pic is not a render but just the model in wings 3d

i tried a demo of maya some times ago, and i don't like it

Quote[/b] ]Anyway,good to hear you feel ready for a

release

i still need 1 or 2 permissions, and i must add a script for the weapon of the fighter

[Sennacherib 0]

btw, the features of the tank :

- a main gun (to destroy the mr duck's tanks ), a rail gun really powerful.

- a sort of machinegun (no laser stuff)

- a sort of weapon, like the m2a2. (sorry i don't know all these military things)

- a heavy armor

- propulsion : wheels and tracks, and it won't be fast.

btw: i work also on an heavy apc, which will be a sort of moloch-apc, to transport more than 8 soldiers.

[mr. Duck 0]

I haven't tried it yet, but here's an idea for your main gun. In case you want a gun powerful enough to demolish the geryon but not that powerful that you send it 50m flying backwards.

Maybe make the main cannon fire in a two burst mode? Each shot would not be powerful enough to kill it outright but the second shot would.

Btw, one big weakness of the geryon is that it sometimes (at certain moments) tend to flip when you dish out enough firepower (like a missile), this does not destroy the tank but forces the crew to bail out.

Also about the M2A2 cannon, you mean a bushmaster?
