Spring RTS Engine

need Screwy Louie's from Carmageddon ^_^

Hint: name of this "screwdriver" is "Dildozer" :)

Idiocracy, isn't it? Damn I'm good...

A quick script by me. Used rattle's Ravager script as a reference for animation. Note that I added an aim point and renamed the root piece to base.

I usually add an empty object for the root and swap it

Thats for the bouncy recoil and damage hit thing they got going in CA right?

The CA Copperhead uses the standard RockUnit and HitByWeapon functions atm, although I did write some custom rocking scripts for some other units. In any case, the version I got from Quantum had two pieces named turret so I changed the name of one of them.

I know its late, but here are some renders of the Copperhead since they never got put up.

I want to see some action shots with it firing at aircraft!

it looks slightly cartoony, i think because of the teamcolour placement
I otherwise think its awesome, especially the wheels/tracks

Screens need moar AA...

And well - when seeing it ingame that pure black on the track's sides really takes away any depth on that part. Although meh - you won't see that too clearly ingame anyway...

The lines which go from wheel to wheel look odd

and any fish?

got any fish that are 5 feet tall? It would be hard to make out fish past things like whales and great whites.

I dunno Smoth, a simple particle system for the water could do the trick for schools of fish.

Something similar to the nanoparticles would be the simplest option, just so it creates a cloud basically that keeps a shape.

Just find a way to intelligently have it bump around the edges and change directions in the water randomly with movement attributes like acceleration and stuff.

Who knows, it could be neat.

no doubt, schools of fish can be simulated with particles but I was saying the the fish would still be extremely small and next to unseeable unless they were large fish. Hell birds would be specs.

By *your* scale.

Maybe specs is enough, and appropriate.

Not that something with an LOD wouldn't fix.

A little ambiance never hurt anything.

no doubt s44/IW could use it flozi but anything that takes spring's current scale won't see much. When pine trees are as tall as a commander it is hard to see a large mouth bass as visible scale/level of detail for the world.
