OWA Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Welcome to 2009 comrades! I have a feeling that this year will be really productive. Basically, this blog is late due to new years and all of that kind of stuff. I didn't have much to show but now I have a few things to update you guys on. <h3>Camoflage Changes</h3> TheBeerinator has been working on the Allied Barracks, but has also been working on getting the camoflage for each faction's vehicles to look unique in their own way. He has a made a pallet for the camos which will be posted up on wednesday when it has been finalised. Basically we are going to be making the soviets less blue and more grey in terms of urban camo, but then maybe using the RA3 soviet greens for the forest camo and darkening the desert and snow camos. More on this on wednesday. <h3>Q&A Podcast & Moddb Awards</h3> Lord_Kane and I have decided that the podcast will be recorded next week, so all your burning questions will be answered! Bearing in mind that I may not be able to answer some of the questions, since I don't fully know some of the answers myself yet dtrngd may also be joining me, so you'll get two AR devs, in the firing line, for the price of one. Also, the moddb awards have started, so make sure you pop over to our moddb page and help us move towards the top! I'm just gonna recycle the campaign image that I've been using since ever Whilst you are there, don't forget to vote for our mighty sister project, Red Alert: A Path Beyond. <h3>New Model</h3> I've begun to model something new for Apocalypse Rising, but I'll leave it up to you guys to guess what it is <h3>End</h3> You'll get a proper sized blog on wednesday with all of the relevant sections, but here's something to keep you going until then.
Guest Lt Albrecht Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Reminds me of the TS amphibious APC so I'll go for some sort of APC. Other stuff: Epic blarg APB and AR FTW No stupid RA3 schemes please, greens like that ok, just make it not too silly
Guest v1410nl Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) I think that that WIP thing will be the new Taco APC, but still an awesome short blog! Edited January 4, 2009 by v1410nl
Guest Deadpikle Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah, that doesn't look like a normal RA2 vehicle that I can think of. I need to play ra2 again, I've been too busy with apb and RA3 It does look like some sort of APC. I voted =D
Guest Glaedr Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 I think its a new IFV. I think I remember hearing something about the current model needing to be replaced for some reason, but I could be wrong. Plus, an IFV is the only thing in RA2 that had a wheel set-up like that, IIRC.
Guest AdrwIvrsn Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Did I hear camouflage?! I love to make camouflage, and am (or was) trying to develop ones practical for real life. I would have loved to help but Beer's doin' it. Anyways, here's an example of one of my designs: As for the RA3 green, I think what he means is a bright olive green color that is common with communistic countries. It looks like this color. Last, that looks like an IFV, but I bet you're trying to pull a surprise. Edited January 5, 2009 by AdrwIvrsn
Guest Stormweaver Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 If not for the wheels, i'd say you're trying to spring an amphibious transport on us Can't wait till wednesday
Guest BigOz Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 What about the Battlefield Fortres.. or whatever that vechile that came in with YR - he just started it dind't he?
Guest Glaedr Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Of the "new" units that were released with YR, you can dis-count all of them. Off of the top of my head, they were the Battle Fortress, Siege Chopper, all of Yuri's vehicles, Robot Tanks, and the Spy Plane. The Spy plane can be counted out, along with the Siege Chopper, because they fly. Robot tanks hover, and have no wheels. The Battle Fortress is tracked, not wheeled. Yuri's faction is not gonna be in this mod from what I remember, and the only Yuri units that have wheels that I can remember, the Gatling tank and the Chaos Drone, have one too many or one too few axles respectively to be that model. In fact, the only units in the game that have three axles and 6 wheels set up with one axle set kinda apart from the others like that are the Allied MCV and the Allied IFV. That model seems too short to be the MCV, so it has to be the IFV.
TeamWolf Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 New IFV because it has the back for it and the jumbo wheels... Or it could be a Battlefortress :x Will the Flak Trooper work like the Flak Track? Will he get any other secondary Abilities? Will the planes fly like the scud storm planes? ( i know they won't be fixed wing due to verticle take off)
Guest cnc95fan Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 The only problem with it being an IVF is that it has no metal plate in between the 1st and 2nd wheels... I personally think it might be the back part of a V3
Guest BoneWerks Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Great! Customize is good I love Conscript Sam too
Guest Tsumetai Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 The only problem with it being an IVF is that it has no metal plate in between the 1st and 2nd wheels... I personally think it might be the back part of a V3 Thank you. Now I'm convinced it's the IFV. First off, it's a WIP, so he probably hasn't gotten to that plate yet. There is, however, a gap between the first and second wheel, a pattern only the IFV has.
Guest Glaedr Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 a pattern only the IFV has. Well... However, the model does not look like the beginnings of an allied MCV.
ChAoS Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Watch it be something completely different.
Guest Lt Albrecht Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Meh, maybe it is an IFV after all. More importantly. Will there be any guardian GIs? Allies need AT infantry. GI=AP/standard Dog=100% AP Rocketeer=partially AP, shoddy against anything but Kirovs vehicle wise SEAL=100% AP Tanya=100% AP Chrono legionaire=High tech, same-ish against tanks and inf, more health=more erase time. Edited January 7, 2009 by Lt Albrecht
Guest Allie29 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 SEAL=100% AP Tanya=100% AP Err... forgetting about blowing up buildings are we?
Guest cnc95fan Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I don't see the logic in cutting out peices that will have to be put back in.
Guest Kakashi Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Guardian GIs are in for all I know (since they use Yuri's Revenge as base for the tech tree). Also Tanya cannot just blow buildings, but vehicles as well (with special anti-vehicle C4).
Guy with a wrench Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I'm surprised you guys can't guess what it is. Well what ever you'll all find out soon enough
Wallywood Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 guys really ?! its clearly the Soviet attack dog lol
Zonekill9 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 My guess is a shrinked version of the Lybian demo truck. Or some civilian vehicle we probably will never guess.
ChAoS Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I'm thinking some civilian vehicle or some cut vehicle.
Guest Lt Albrecht Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Err... forgetting about blowing up buildings are we? No, I never made any mention of anti-structure benefits of any of them And Tanya can only C4 Tanks in YR, not standard RA2, it'd also be a bit unbalanced. I hope there are guardian GIs, I want to use assault rifle and Bazooka (inis say it's same as GI's weapon, ingame it looks like a GI deployed MG).
ChAoS Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 No, I never made any mention of anti-structure benefits of any of them And Tanya can only C4 Tanks in YR, not standard RA2, it'd also be a bit unbalanced. I hope there are guardian GIs, I want to use assault rifle and Bazooka (inis say it's same as GI's weapon, ingame it looks like a GI deployed MG). Read up on the blogs you will find that this game uses all the YR tech for allies and soviets and pretty much any features as well.
