okay people. Once again I find myself in desperate need of modelers and, above all, good skinners. I would ask you to do at least two models, if you can't permanently join the team. I do some of the simple models, but mainly the code is what I do. Currently I'm in need of a model for a new tank, someone to finish this destroyer model I have, and someone to skin a SCUD ship model I made. Please help!! I have been having such trouble getting a team to hold together long enough to make serious progress it makes me want to cry!

I thought this time, to help arouse interest, I would post a few screenies:

our new Pheonix-class missile frigates, plan on doing some more detail work later

this one demonstrates a new ability of the tech repair bay (taken on a map made just for this mod)

the mod will also include new music, maps, missions,upgrades, generals powers and more!!

The aim is to add more realism to the game (less tank rushes, more infantry) as well as encourage strategic gameplay and overall playability.

Please help! you will be rewarded however possibal (maybe with some new models to use, or info on how to accomplish special .ini tricks, or whatever else we can give) Thanks, hope to have you here!:nodding:

Re: another attempt
 

this mod looks sweet but wen will it b done?

Re: another attempt
 

can't say, but If no one helps us out it may not be for a long while.

Re: another attempt
 

Shit, look at my frigate, on the starboard side of the starboard ballitic missile launcher. There's a funking model error that's causing the texture to go darker. Why the hell wasn't that in Maya or RenX...

Well, this saves me a PM I geuss. Will remake the god damn model to-whatever-night (Thursdary-today, tomorrow?). That one takes decades to unwrap too (chilliskinner is useless with it). I just finished remapping the UV's on it aswell. BOLLOX!

The GLA PT boat is, basically, done know. It's got a rainbow skin but I'm working on colouring it... well, green mostly.

Anyway, here's some renders for no damn reason (AHHHH!!!oneoneone¬!!). All under 500 polys btw in case you comment on their cubidity:

Re: another attempt
 

Looks good so far. Will the AI be able to use the new units?

I would help but I fear there is not much I am capable of. I cannot do 3D modeling (yet) and get lost in INI coding. The one thing I am good at is web hosting. I can make you a web page, or even host the mod.

- GIDustin

PLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSEEEEE Help!!
 

AI I am currently working on. As for a site, you're a little late, my man anus has already begun that. But, hey, if at any point you get good enough at modeling let me know, could always use modelers. And skinners, thats important too.

So anyone else? PLEASE? We really need a boost and as I said you'll be rewarded in any possibal way. please?

Re: another attempt
 

yeah people! I would help him but I'm a complete computer flop, I just play the game and cheer him on.


But come on!! You guys have to help him! You should see some of his work!! Like his SBMS or the MLV. You can't let this mod die! Help him out guys!

Re: another attempt
 

GO GO POWER RANGER!

If you are teh bored then you can do the website. I can't actually run CGI scripts on my normal PC (don't even think it) so I set up a basic frames page and threw together some quick 'logos'. You want to start over then blow yourself away, I've just been dicking about with my Hypernova project and sort of forgot about Mirage lol. Speaking of which, if you've got any more for me to do, throw some more bit-mapped etchings this way and I'll try to get them (at least modelled) by Monday morning. If not I just won't go to work :moon:

Re: another attempt
 

always being forgotten. WHICH IS WHY I NEED MORE HELP! PLEASE!!

Re: another attempt
 

Right, well I finally got the AI (for GLA) to build a boat yard and PT boats, a few kinks natuarlly. Boat yard was build on land, so PT boats got stuck. I changed the map so that where the boats came out was water, but I'm looking for a way around having to do that every time.


The maps on which AI will use boats are going to be (all these are maps made just for the mod):

Atlantic circle
Tropica
Arab sea gate

maybe a few others.

AI will use other stuff on these maps, if not all maps.

City of Al Rashid (the one I have a screenshot of above, with the repair drone)
Sandy Valley
Arid desert

others probly.

Now... if you model, please help. thak you.

Re: another attempt
 

Why don't you just change the unit creation and rally points to around 50 meters away from the building? Put an arrow on the building (heh, ignore that) so people know which way around to place it.

Re: another attempt
 

Did the 50 meters thing, the problem is getting the AI to put the building the right way, which is what I'm working on (the AI I mean)

Re: another attempt
 

Doesn't setting the angle in the aidata file do it? I know it'll take some practice to actually get it the right way lol Don't know how degrees are measured on teh 2d landscape.

Re: another attempt
 

well name something with a good description and ill model it , if i get a reply tomorrow morning for sure atleast cuz i got a day off . ill ask my friend to skin it ( hes got talent ) maybe if i can get free time during exams i might make something else

Re: another attempt
 

hahahahahahahaha! ha ha ha ! the a.i.? ahhh indeed they are gnomes!

Re: another attempt
 

oh, god, hes following me.

Jon, do you even know what forum this is?

Re: another attempt
 

Damn I hate living in the middle of nowhere, well nowhere and left a bit.

Since everyone else uses their (GROIN!) threads as chat rooms I figured I would too.

Those units (hahahaha, ah that never gets old) that I am/have (?) skinning-ed for you. Anyway, deleted the jps (I want to say it was an accident, but I think it was a Frodo-ian thing) so have to import the dds files (which is causing some hilariously bad texture corruption). Either way they're as good as they're going to get. Anything else you want me to do or can I go back to starring at my feet?

Re: another attempt
 

Well, finishing the PT skin would be nice, and I'm working on a simple model for a cargo ship, for one of the USA missions (may even make it buildable, as a seagoing supply gatherer) that will need a skin. You're lack of experience won't be a prob, since this skin will be very easy.

Re: another attempt
 

HAHAHAHA, ah sorry, couldn't contain myself. So need a good skinner:

...hey, at least I've got my grey texturing down lol (most of the coloured bits are house colours).

Re: another attempt
 

Well the breads gone off so I geuss there's no dinner tonight. To keep my 'mind' off starvation I rendered one of my home movies. Took roughly 20 seconds so I'm still relatively hungry, still:
home movie (no, the other kind) - 360k

Takes me seconds to download, however, for those of you on slower connections... you're not missing much.
