OWA Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Welcome to this week's blog. sadly, I don't have many new things to show you, but I'll see what I can find. (scraping the barrel again kids ) <h3>Harrier Improvements</h3> DannyCon has finished up the Harrier now to RA2 spec. Now all that is left to do is model the cockpit, get it textured, rigged and animated. Exciting stuff! Although the soviets may crap themselves if they see the full requisition of four harriers coming for their war factory. <h3>Air Force Command HQ</h3> The team has been deciding on the interior for the Airforce Command HQ. We have come to a decision that there will beaccess to the top control tower and access to the basement. The basement will be accessed via a nice big cargo elevator and possibly a ladder as well for all you elevator-haters out there. The basement will contain missile racks and fuel for the aircraft. One of these will probably be a weakpoint for the building. Up top we have the command tower which is accessed using the stairs in the front of the structure. These will provide access to the gantries and the uppper comm tower. In the comm tower there will be another weakpoint (probably a flight control computer). The gantries will be the allies lifeline if the soviets get up into the upper comm centre as they can be used to land rocketeers on before running up to engage in combat. Updates on the internals will follow in the coming weeks. <h3>Tankmaster's Suprise</h3> Tankmaster has been cooking something extra special up for the installer. As we are going for a really immersive atmosphere, we are going to try as much as possible to make you feel as if you are actually playing RA2 but from a differant perspective. But it's not just going to be the game that gets the glory. Oh no. Tankmaster has gone as far as to recreate the RA2 installer in all it's glory. The installer will be a fullscreen fixture eventually and it's going to rock your world. (RA2 logo will be switched in for the AR logo) <h3>Flak Track</h3> Well, the flak track needs re-unwrapping.... so it's a good opportunity to do some model updates! I basically cleaned up the whole mesh and made the back section a little taller. I also made the gun mountings bigger so the gun can actually point vertically without clipping the rest of the model. Check it out with a new render background that I'm testing out. (Check the next few weeks for a few background variations.) <h3>Testing Screenshots</h3> dtrngd and [FW]Wolf have been playing around in our infantry-only map, RA2_Rocky_Pass.mix! Take a look at the cool screenies that they have taken. Duel under the Tom Bridgedtrngd: "Hey Wolf, I'm behind you!" [FW]Wolf:" Ahhh!" Stoneslab walkway Watching for Seagulls whilst skimming stones A bridge too far (it was bound to appear somewhere) <h3>Team Notices</h3> I'm a Mechanical Man cfehunter is a college linux man with XP. Merovingian is a bi-sexual furry. You heard me right. danpaul88 is a coder and a leet one at that. Ric is a model making machine dtrngd is a map making machine rm5248 is a Blender crash course expert nameme99 is an aerial ace BogdanV is a professor with a degree in kick ass level edit arm twisting Poggel is an infernal designer that designs inferiors. Tankmaster is a Tankmaster Eggman891 is the Eggman with a master plan. Soviet_Deso is a texturiser who just got nuclear Coolrock is a PR man with a flashy car and a license the thrill.... allegedly Chronojam is unofficially a California man And drunkill is a leetcake baker, any questions? <h3>OWA's Community Support Shed</h3> It's that time again. I actually got a notice from someone this time! Great huh? [FW]Wolf and cnc95fan have started the Battle For Dune mod from where it left off. A few maps have been made and vehicles are being tested. Check out their moddb page over here with older screenshots from eons ago located here. I have also heard that a website and forums are coming soon. RenEvo have a voice acting competition! You could be a mechanical an and win prozes! Details are here. The deadline for this competition is on the first of December so break out the microphones! (You can hear a sample of my entry above in the "team notices" section of the blog). <h3>FINISH</h3> Ok, I guess we had more than I said we did Seeya next week for more Apocalypse Rising News! Remember to close the door on your way out and try not to bang it too hard please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EVA-251 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 The Harrier completely blows me away. Will it look like that in-game? It seems high-poly.(or maybe I have not seen such a detailed model for Ren) AFCHQ is looking great too. Can't wait to see it skinned w/blinking lights. Will the installer say "Warning! Military software detected! Top secret clearance required!" when booted up? Great blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TankMaster Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 The installer is going to be a complete (or almost, I am going to try my best to make it 100% replica) of the original RA2 installer. I took a small movie of the RA2 installer a couple of days ago to help me in making the thing, it unfortunately did not record the sound, so I may just have to re-record it on another pc sometime.
