Nemo, you may have just single-handedly destroyed this mod...

release a teaser video of armour combat?

also, just an idea, how hard would be to implement a pontoon bridge unit (somthing buildable over water than units can move over)

AFAIK units cannot use features/other units (except for transports) to cross water without scripting hacks. It's probably possible to make something like Mobile Deployable Bridge (it was made by zwzsg for OTA, but the same script will probably work in Spring).
Maybe some Lua scripts can make that task easier, but it will probably still be quite hacky.

I know how that bridge works. It would probably work even better in Spring with its isfirebase tag

bridges and pontoon bridges were a massive part of WWII warefare.
it would be cool to have a map that has bridges over rivers (features) than can be destroyed or ressurected, along with constructable pontoon bridges for infantry

This can be done with the typemap, but not many mappers are willing to deal with the issues of it.

If you wish, I will poke around for someone, but... well.

O.o

Some buildings look like they are made of logs >.>

SpikedHelmet · Post by **SpikedHelmet** » 30 Apr 2007, 07:46

It'd be nice to get mapping help.

And some buildings ARE made of logs!

Today's work: StuG III G!

I'll go make an armored combat video now.

SpikedHelmet · Post by **SpikedHelmet** » 30 Apr 2007, 09:59

Alright, here goes...

YouTube Video of Tank Battle!

Explicit lyrics. Shout-outs to Snoop & Crew.

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 30 Apr 2007, 12:18

Please... Dear, god. Anything coulda been better... Metallica? Frank Klepacki? Something metal? Slow rock? Anything!?

The music did not go with the video, but the video was good. I like the fast paced action (Which is why rap didn't work) and I think it looks something like I would expect two real armored divisions to look like with attacks, minus aerial bombardments and ambushing.

Wtf are you talking about. Not only does that song fit PERFECTLY, but it's hilarious as well. I laughed for like half an hour after I made this.

Erom · Post by **Erom** » 30 Apr 2007, 17:19

Oh god, can't stop laughing, watch the StuG at 0:41 through 0:49. I swear to god it's bobbing it's turret with the music. Nice work.

When you are talking about map typemaps, you're just talking about making a land bridge that is soft, so it can be destroyed by explosions and repaired with the "restore" function, right?

Neddie · Post by **Neddie** » 30 Apr 2007, 17:22

Yes. As far as I know, the engine doesn't support much else at the present time.

1v0ry_k1ng · Post by **1v0ry_k1ng** » 30 Apr 2007, 17:23

are you going to implement heavy tanks being invincible to light guns at the front armour or any kind of zone armour for the release or is it too bust?

FLOZi · Post by **FLOZi** » 30 Apr 2007, 17:49

Directional isn't really possible 100% reliable.

Heavy tanks will be nigh on invincilble to 'light guns' at average combat ranges anyway (of course if you manage to sneak one in close you can be much more effective)
