Wallywood Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hello everyone, this week's blog is going to be about NOD! In the past you guys read something about new buildings coming into TSR, so let's check out a few now. Mick has been on a roll lately and modeling tons of new stuff for the mod. Stealth Generator: Pretty renders Now this model, created by Darkangel, was done a long time ago as far as I know, but we think it will fit well with the other nod structures. Radar: Stay tuned for our next blog next week! Team Update: We've also got a new Testing Director that has joined the team...but you'll have wait to see who this mystery man is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enduar Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 In the RTS the stealth generator was inordinately large. How do you guys plan to scale it with the other structures in Reborn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you guys plan to scale it with the other structures in Reborn? I'm thinking a good size for it would be somewhere between the NOD WF and the Ref 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduar Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Not too bad. Still wish there was some way to stealth buildings in Reborn, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallywood Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Not too bad. Still wish there was some way to stealth buildings in Reborn, though. Same but the only way that could be done is rig all the buildings as vehicles and I not sure if that would even work fully :/ Can I guess? LOL no 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest credulo Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Nice stealth generator! But, hey Wally, continuing what I was talking in the last blog entry about the plane stlye, I got an (temporally idea) for the banshee/orca bomber moving. I was playing an Renegade server with a fully modified map called " Fjords ". It gameplay sucks, but something there made me think : When you are driving an orca there, while you are stopped, not pressing any key, the orca moves alone - not in a buggy way, looks like it was made to do that - not that fast , but it's considerable. I don't know about how much can we change the logical values of a vehicle... Maybe, if we could change the values of that "standing speed" , we can do something like that - A ) Forward speed value > (Standing speed value = Reverse speed) [so, the plane is unable to fly backwards, and the "back" key would be used for some kind of breaks, to not letting the player just rotating and geting dizzy around the base while it is awaiting orders for a strike] B ) Forward speed > Standing speed value > (an slow value) > (Standing speed value - Reverse speed) > 0 [giving more realism then A , this time the back key won't stop totally the airplane, but will make it slow, like if the engines are at low powering] Edited December 7, 2011 by credulo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r315r4z0r Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Couldn't you use LOD to your advantage when it comes to using stealth effects on buildings? Once you are far away the building is replaced with a a plane that matches the rest of the ground. But then again I can think of many ways this would cause problems... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest APB_ICE Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 At least base-defences will be stealthed by the SG, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Seems like another GG set in TSR... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest APB_ICE Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Seems like another GG set in TSR... But without the giant bubble of darkness, and (hopefully) the SG will cloak base-defences in addition to units.

Wallywood Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Seems like another GG set in TSR... Well without the FPS rape and the annoying bubble lol. At least base-defences will be stealthed by the SG, right? yes should be Couldn't you use LOD to your advantage when it comes to using stealth effects on buildings? Once you are far away the building is replaced with a a plane that matches the rest of the ground. But then again I can think of many ways this would cause problems... We'll play around with a few ideas...But I'm like you on this, That could cause more problems then it's worth A ) Forward speed value > (Standing speed value = Reverse speed) [so, the plane is unable to fly backwards, and the "back" key would be used for some kind of breaks, to not letting the player just rotating and geting dizzy around the base while it is awaiting orders for a strike] B ) Forward speed > Standing speed value > (an slow value) > (Standing speed value - Reverse speed) > 0 [giving more realism then A , this time the back key won't stop totally the airplane, but will make it slow, like if the engines are at low powering] Don't worry so much about that right now. I'm going to try and have Dtrngd mess with the setting for most of the flying vehicles, and hes really good at stuff like that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest indios85 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 i remember been playing in kamuix lite ren server a couple of years back and it had set up an stalth radius for the gdi and nod bases, i presume that if implemented, it would be only abailable for nod, i dont see any problem whit base defenses or building stealthed by a buildint´s feature having in mind that they will be allways in the same place every time but making all the units go stealth in his base, specially if it would be only for nod, sounds like huge advantage over gdi, i think it would be better if the SG remain has a capturable building or something in strategy points of the maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor29aa Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 LIke all of this. My feelings on the Steath Gen. or SG is that cloaking buildings (which has too many complications anyways) shouldn't be done. <- this is a controversial statement... sorry. My point: the buildings aren't going anywhere, but it's good that the defending infantry, tanks, and laser turrets (if set to vehicle) will be cloaked. Plus this'll make my jorb easier, which was hiding cloaked MSGs in the nod base to achieve the same effect. (The cloaking effect does turn the tides of base defense). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not going to happen next blog. Sorry , but there will be some pics and new things 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduar Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 There's probably some fairly recent stuff from back when we tested on the old forums. For now everything should still look generally the same, I wouldn't think they'd have had the time to introduce most of the new models they've shown off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mei Terumi Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Will the stealth defence thing (Damn forgot the name lol) have doors? and a MCT? or will it act more like per say like the APB Tesla coil? wher it has no hard points? sorry for the werid comparisons. I've just woke up lol. Edit: Stealth Generation, remembered now lol. Edited December 8, 2011 by Alucard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 This structure will not have an interior / MCT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor29aa Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I just thought of this... Will the SG turn off is the Nod Power Plant is destroyed? Or will it have it's own power source? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallywood Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I just thought of this... Will the SG turn off is the Nod Power Plant is destroyed?

Guest XCABAL Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 If you did make the buildings into "Vehicles" couldn't you set a crush level so the MKII doesn't squish em? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
