But That would be overburden the PC and slow down the game to be as horrible as Warcraft IIIGrOuNd_ZeRo wrote:Looks awesome Maestro!
When Alpha textures are implimented I am going to add some crazy details to aircraft, including pilots and HUDs :D
Personally I dont like 1st person view feature in Spring too coz that often make ppl forget they play strategy game and not FPS and sometimes designers too forget this by adding too much poly....
but I manage to keep thing lower than 300polys ( that T-80 only 289 poly
)2 set of wheels.... 48 extra faces for Russian tankaGorm wrote:An octagonal wheel should only be 3 faces insted of 1... surly thats not gonna make the tank that much bigger? just 24 extra faces...

2x10x3 -- 60 extra wheels for western tank
problem is I want every unit to use less than 300 poly so game wont slowdown even there is 580 unit on screen and I already use 270+ poly on other stuff

Let me just say to you guys i've played TA:WD for a while now on the original TA aswell as spring and i just wanna thank you guys for making a quality mod! 
keep up the great work!
Oh and a thought about water craft. Why not make a small navle option with things like RHIBs and PBRs (and the equivalant russian craft) Because as it is the water ways are strangely quiet. (just a suggestion not a demand)
Just played my first multiplayer game of WD with a freind and WOW it was cool played it on flooded desert. I was mospact i was suprise to find we both started out on the same side of the map it was rather confusing. So i decided to use that to my advantage (Cue human waves) 4 massive assaults later i've finally gotten my commander and some enginears to make a small base on the other side of the map and am producing tanks and the likes i feel the sudden need to defend the 1 way into my side of the map so i use sandbags anti tank barriers pillboxes anti tank pillboxes radar and artillery to defend it (it wasn't over the top i just felt nato might have somthing against me after all those human wave attacks. i launch another human wave at him this time doing a pincer movement with UAVs as a decor force just to his front to draw his troops out. it works kindof until i realise he has not build a MASSIVE line of artillery & pillboxes seems human waves are no longer an option. i'm ammasing more infantry for a nostalgic last human wave attack until shock horror a well co-ordinated nato assault starts a few sipers picking off my men i send them out to confron them only to be met by tanks and APCs. all my infantry die and then to cap it all his squad of recon guys appears from behind my infantry outpost and promptly destroys it. I'm a little agrevated by this so i decide to send a 24 strong force of T-74's to attack his base as soon as they cross the river however they are unter anti tank and artillery fire...... i decide to go to the good old methos of human waves with artillery backup. i'm in the process of building my artillery when BAM out of nowhere come Nato troops on my side i'm like what! how did they get there!!!!! They were i presume SEALs so i'm freeking out because my armys are way over on the other side of this land mass so before i can get there the troops have destroyed pretty much half my base i respond with pucuras (god i love em) all of which are shot down by his airdefenses i claim another victory to myself because well....... i dunno i just like claiming victorys. unfortunately at this point my freind had to go but he's promised another match soon probably tommorow.......... sorry to have typed all of that i just just quite excited that it worked and best of all it was an excellent game.

I only played once with this mod in multiplayer, in the map Small Divide, and my friend took the middle very early :p
It was fun to send troops to breach the frontline and to locate enemy artillery, but my friend told me he prefered to play Act of War and he prefers the TA spirit
In fact he really thinks the Spring engine is not adapted for infantry.... yet

Well tell him that... "This crazy guy on the froum's that i write in say's that Act of war is not his favoret game ever". But I once played this game of WD with my freind, whom i will call the Ape Decendend. Ape was building pill box's cause i was sending wave after wave of my own men at him. But at time wore on and he didnt do anything drastic, i grew complacent. Then the massive wave of tank's and airplane's rolled over my base.
MORAL: Do NOT become complacent!

(scroll down a lil)
There were all kind of ships for TA:WD
i were doing the ivan rogov when news about Spring come..... they will reimplemented somewhere in the future once ive done with else (Im currently finishing the t-80 + redo bmp3 + try some texturing on bmp3)
hi remove the mig-21, f-5 ill replace it with something else (they are no longer operation al soon)....GrOuNd_ZeRo wrote:When I feel it's a bit more bearable, I.E. get rid of all the missing texture errors.
Also what if the new retextured unit (the texture set) put into different .hpi file ? this way we can slowly remove all ex-OTA texture and keep the texture on manageable number
Ill use 20 == 32x32 pixel texture at max for each unit so WD can have at least 200 unit.
(==32x32 mean comparable, so could also be 40 32x16 texture, or 16 32x32 pixel + 16 16x16 pixel or 1 64x64 pix texture plus 16 32x32 texture which will take the same total size in square pixel)
