Generals Mod

[Inoculator9]

I'm glad you guys are collaborating on this. It could really turn out well :)

[Dunenewt]

I want Harkonnen units to look raw and just out the factory and I will give them metallic silver textures so they look like they haven't been painted.

I'm working on the other styles.

[Cyborg]

I think the the model files support built in UVW mapping coordinates. I can just give you the textures along with the model. Then I think everything will work.

I'm not sure, though...

I will have to remodel that rocket tank, because I noticed that the model files do not like extruded box modeling. I must make the tank piece by piece... Anyway, that is not a problem.

I'll make you a combat tank tomorrow  :P

[Dunenewt]

Well here's a Corrino Artillery.

I think the sides should originally be Corrino, Atreides and Harkonnen because the there is no code to implement the Deviator.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

I'm now working on a Harkonnen Combat Tank...

It's almost finished, and I just need to look at another ingame model to see how many turret bones, smoke and fire bones etc. it needs.

[Dunenewt]

Sounds great.  Maybe instead of Generals we can have side eg:

Noble houses (replaces US):

Houses (Generals):

Atreides

Ecaz

Ix

Evil Houses (replaces China):

Harkonnen

Moritani

Richese

Imperial Houses (replaces GLA):

Corrino

Hagal

Tleilax

[Cyborg]

Ok, here's the model fully working in the game...

The textures were cheaply done in Paint, but I kept them silverish, and for the crudeness, I made slacky jointed metal plates as if it was made of trash...

Wow that looks great.

[Inoculator9]

Great job Cyborg :)

(On a side note, how do you like my sexy sig Dunenewt?)

[thomas]

wow . . . :O

nice very very nice keep up the good work

[Dunenewt]

Hehe don't make me jealous Ino.  I'm fine with my home made one. *goes green*

Its good to see this mod is actually going places.

[Dunenewt]

Hey Cyborg do you reckon you could send me the w3d and dds files so i can texture it?

[Cyborg]

It's already textured...

Suit yourself.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Dunenewt]

yes but i want to put individual logos for the sides on the tanks.

[Dunenewt]

Huh?

You didn't do them in .dds

I suppose thats easier though.

[Cyborg]

I didn't do them in dds because Gmax only lets me uvw-unwrap other texture formats...

[Dunenewt]

Ok

Do you have the RenX plug-in?

[Cyborg]

Of course, without that I can't save to w3d format...

[Dunenewt]

Oh, as you can tell I've never used G-max lol.

[Cyborg]

yep, I kind of guessed that...  :D

[Dunenewt]

What do you think about this?[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

[Cyborg]

Not bad!

I'm very sorry about being slow with making new models.

I have a very stuffed agenda.

[Dunenewt]

Thankyou and no problem I understand.

[Inoculator9]

Nice job Newt ;)

[Dunenewt]

Wow credit from the big guy (in DE that is) lol.

Progress will speed up once I've sorted out the units.
