OWA Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Welcome to this week's blog. We are a little devoid on content again this week due to various factors, but hey; the show must go on. <h3>Soviet War Factory Weak Point: Fuel Tanks</h3> dtrngd has been adding detail to what will be the major weakpoint for the Soviet War Factory. These are only some of the massive fuel tanks, housed in the War Factory, used to keep the Red Army's war machine running. Thick tubes pump the lifeblood of the diesel engines below to where newly constructed vehicles are fuelled up ready for combat. The fuel for these tanks comes from many other tanks housed in the war factory. However due to the sheer volume of fuel stored at the war factory, this stockpile is off limits to meager conscripts. Only the engineers, technicians and scientists that work within the Soviet War Factory can access them. Anyway, here is a peek at what Allies should be looking to target if they want to shut down Soviet Vehicle operations. <h3>Rig Man</h3> At the weekend, I sent my base infantry model to TruYuri to see if it would rig up correctly ingame. Compared to the rig time of some of the older infantry for APB, it knocked spots off it. Within a few minutes it was rigged and ready for game. There are a few mesh errors that need correcting but otherwise I can start modelling up some more characters. We are hopefully going to coax Eggman into porting the infantry rig into 3dsmax for ultimate control over the rigging process (and decent meshes!). Anyway, here is rig man. His head took less than two minutes to model. <h3>APB Metal Music Mod</h3> Since we've really got nothing else to show, I will enlighten you guys on a little project that r34ch and myself have been working out. Basically, we want to provide an alternative soundtrack for APB for all of you metalheads out there. This means you could be rocking along to attack the Tesla Coil on Fjord to One by Metallica and raining some hellfire down on the Allies on Forest of Illusion, with your Flamer, whilst rocking to Raining Blood by Slayer. We are working towards a full compilation for all of the maps that are currently in rotation on the MP-Gaming server. We choose our tracks for the atmosphere they create ingame, so for longer maps such as Keep Off the Grass, we'll choose something that starts pretty slow etc. If you have any suggestions for trakcs, please feel free to pm me. Here are a few examples of our tracks choices. Map - Artist - Track Name Menu - SOiL - Halo RA_AS_Seamist.mix - Megadeth - Hangar 18 RA_Wasteland.mix - Machine Head - Clenching The Fists Of Dissent RA_ClassicFjord.mix - Metallica - One RA_ForestOfIllusion.mix - Slayer - Raining Blood Once we have chosen all of the tracks, we'll be posting the minimod up, along with instructions on how you can create your own music mod <h3>Team Messages</h3> I've been at work all week. I'm self employed maaaan! Anyway, going to wetherspoons tomorrow for food, which will rock. cfehunter is back and will be working again once I contact him. dtrngd has been working with zunnie on a neat little co-op map for APB. He needs testers, so go and find him for information. danpaul88 has been helping me drag the website back online. All that is left to do is re-establish the updated SQL database. I've set the team on their various tasks now so there should be something to show for it in a bit <h3>OWA's Random Corner</h3> I'm the invisible man! (Just like my friend Marvin actually). <center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZK5hZu2UTY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZK5hZu2UTY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZK5hZu2UTY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center> <h3>Happy Birthday</h3> You didn't think I'd forget you Dr Tesla?

Enduar Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I don't like music. That said, I really have no suggestions! So I imagine when these fuel tanks go up in flames, so will anyone nearby, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HYBRID BEING Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Great fuel tank. Now that you showed us rigman he must take cameo in game) Speaking about music. Several blogs ago, you showed us a video of soviet barracks walkthrough. It featured a RA3 Soviet Battle Theme remix. Damn, it was great. Hope you won't forget to include it in AR) And who's the author by the way? And video is hilarios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lt Albrecht Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Slayer - The Final Command/Chemical Warfare Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Chemical warfare a track by the Dead Kennedys? IIRC it was on 'Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables' back in the 80s (not that I was around, I just happened to find the album one day)... For Maiden Longest Day or These colours don't run would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think GI's will be able to do as much damage to vehicles as they did in RA2 even when elite, It's just something that does not fit into a FPS correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't and isn't a Cover that was done by Slayer,I'm not a very great fan of Dead Kennedys so I'm not sure if they even came out with a song called "Chemical Warfare".

Guest iambryan1234 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't think Metal Music should be implemented in APB for these reasons 1. Annoying piece of crap 2. Does not fit Anyone else care to disagree with me, I don't give a shit about it. That's my opinion, not yours and it will stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iambryan1234 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 if it's just an optional download, then i'm fine with that. I would seriously hate to be forced to listen to annoying metal music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Occult13 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's better than the RnB shit on the radio today I agree, but AR isn't a radio What will be AR soundtrack? Chicajo remixes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Foley Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) lol, Chicago remix... I can just imagine, playing on The Alamo listening to You're the Inspiration I would prefer Linkin Park and RA2 remixes Nice work on the fuel tank, can't wait to defeat the soviet war machine in one go Edited August 1, 2009 by Foley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWA Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I agree, but AR isn't a radio What will be AR soundtrack? Chicajo remixes? Of Red Alert 1 tracks? Hell no! I've got a stockpile of tracks from NeptuneUK, the guy who is working on the Tiberian Dawn mod's soundtrack, to use as extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Occult13 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 No, I didn't mean about RA1 tracks, but that kind of remixes (RA2 songs remixed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWA Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 No, I didn't mean about RA1 tracks, but that kind of remixes (RA2 songs remixed). AFAIK Chicajo hasn't worked on any APB stuff in over a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
