OWA Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Welcome to this week's blog. This is kinda rushed since I've spent nearly a whole day on coursework today <h3>Ore Extractor: Textured!</h3> The ore extractor is usually seen extracting ore from the ground in the middle of rich ore fields. The drill activates every 45 seconds with a claxon to warn any passers by. No doubt you have seen this in action in the videos. Next time you see it ingame, it'll look like this. <h3>Flak Track: WIP Texture</h3> The Beerinator has moved into the Flak Track from the V3 launcher. This anti infantry/air death machine is the workhorse of the soviet military. Uncharacteristically fast and lightly armoured, it speeds into battle carrying five infantry units or two terror drones. Flak them down comrades, for the union! (Now with new camo patterns!) <h3>The IFV</h3> I asked danpaul88 for a description on how the IFV works, but he did us all one better and made a video illustrating the script in action in it's current state. Check out the video below! >>>Video Here<<< <h3>Soviet Vehicles: Updated Camoflage</h3> So, our camoflage has been normalised by cfehunter and TheBeerinator. This means the soviet vehicles will roll into battle in a colour coordinated manner. Which is cool. <h4>Rhino Tank</h4> <h4>V3 Launcher, now de-giraffarigged!</h4> <h3>Dune Patrol: Now With Bases!</h3> I gave dtrngd a load of untextured assets to see what he could do with them, so he shoved them ingame and we get the first glance at what an AR base will look like geometry-wise. Pretty cool eh? Testers will be getting their hands on this in the coming weeks to test it hard. <h3>Team Messages</h3> Coursework I'm free from it a week on friday Next blog, I'll have my devised drama exam piece uploaded somewhere so that you guys can watch me make a fool out of myself and hopefully scare you a little as I act out my psychopathic role cfehunter had a week off college last week because they were moving the entire network to a new building at his college. Welcome dtrngd back from Austria! He's been away, but he does so much AR work you would never have known ^^ <h3>OWA's Community Support Gelnika</h3> Let's not crash in the sea this time mmmk? Nothing seems to be happeneing as things stop for exams/coursework. Oh well, you get a nice picture of Piccolo for your trouble. <h3>Project Of the Week</h3> This week's coveted project is Trackmania Nations Forever! A free game in the truest sense of the word, TrackMania Nations Forever lets you drive at mind-blowing speeds on fun and spectacular tracks in solo and multiplayer modes. Nations Forever will offer a new "Forever" version of the Stadium environment, a solid solo mode and 65 brand new, progressively difficult tracks. TrackMania Nations Forever will unite an even larger number of players than the original Nations thanks to its engaging multiplayer modes, innovative online functions and revolutionary interactivity between players.

Guest EVA-251 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Looking good, I like everything but the vehicle skins. The remap, imo, does not fit in a FPS game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theta123 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I know.But not all of the vechicles has the camos. But we shall see in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest =NX=VinGummi2 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 well did you write my whole post? as I said more will probably come as more models come in, I think the only new model that have been made that didn't get such a camo was the ranger, and really how good would such a camo fit the ranger?

danpaul88 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Let's get ready to B2B with V3 launchers on Dune Patrol! Yay! (Disclaimer: Only testers get to B2B with V3 launchers on Dune Patrol, final release versions will not feature V3 B2B on Dune Patrol because apparently it's tech level is going to be so low you don't get V3 launchers... although IIRC Rhino Tanks are higher tech than V3 launchers, so I don't know what Dtrngd is smokin... meh ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't see shit on Dune Patrol thanks to sandstorms. The map is a lot bigger than you think it is on the screenshots. Rhino tank only needs a war factory. V3 requires a Soviet Radar as well. So low tech level allows you to build Rhinos, but not V3s. You should install RA2 and double check things or ask a person who has RA2 how things work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest r315r4z0r Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm still a little confused about what I saw in that video. Is the missile launcher the default that can be switched on and off between whatever the infantry unit inside is? So if I entered with a GI, I could freely switch between the missile pods and a machine gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zarconium Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Based on the vid, the rockets even in clusters don't do as much damage as I expected. Several hits on the War Factory and its barely scathed. Hey, I'm not destructively criticizing the IFV, I know you guys have done hard work on this, and I appreciate it. Tose 10 seconds make me itch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
