Random WIP 2006-2011

[Acidd_UK]

"Belial" - somewhat inspired by the Cyberdemon (Doom).

That reminds me of the Necrons from Dawn of War (Warhammer 40k). Looks cool

[Warlord Zsinj]

kinda reminds me of disco stu >_>

[Pressure Line]

Battletech's 'Karnov' tilt-rotor transport.

V-22 'Osprey' US Marine tilt rotor transport

[Sheekel]

i know. im butchering the code rite nao :)

[edit] done! just a few more tweaks :)

[panzeriv2]

Awww, so cute and small...Unless my sarcastic statement is true, the model need more feature.

[Guessmyname]

If you're referring to the low texture resolution and polycount, I should probably mention that they were taken from a game about as old as Total Annihilation is/was.

[Argh]

And with reskins, could look almost good, frankly. They're using 128 skins, with some funky teamcolor treatment. The buildings look a lot better than the mechs, tanks, and stuff like the Karnov because they aren't stuck in a relatively simplistic palette.

That is true, but that particular shade of red on the Karnov is intentional. So anyone who doesnt like it can just not play as the Draconis Combine.

bearing in mind that this screenshot is a) a dodgy jpg and b) far more zoomed in than you are likely to be in either MC2 or Spring [and still be able to play effectively] with colours that arent blood red, the textures dont look *that* dated.

I remember the original MechCommander demo taking an unfeasibly large 200mb space and looking visually stunning.

[REVENGE]

MechCommander 2 was the shit back in the day. The dynamic lighting also looked nice for its time.

Almost at 2k now.

Working on it.....

That will look very good with a nice texture and some glow.

indeed. has some damn sexy fx too :)

Also, weapons fired from the hardpoints where you installed them, unlike MC1. That was the biggest plus IMO. There's nothing more silly than a madcat pumping 10 missiles and 2 ER PPCs out of a single arm or leg.

Hehe, ever edited the csv files with all the mech variants and whatnot? 100 Clan ER PPCs on a Heavy Attack 'copter, mmm mmm goood.

100 Clan Ultra Light ACs was also pretty cool, LR machinegun here we go! In fact, there was no way to prevent someone from doing this in multiplayer. I remember pulling some jumping MadCats out during a clan trial, lulz.

[Evil4Zerggin]

OMG MC1. I remember the ridiculous oil field mission (let's make you go capture scattered explosive oil derricks surrounded by explosive oil tanks against an enemy force four times your size who isn't afraid to fire on them, and if you lose a single derrick you lose). The minelayer was the god weapon, and if you lost a pilot or a Clan ER PPC you restarted the mission immediately.

'nuff said.

it is fairly small. 4x4 footprint (i think, maybe 3x3), but realistically only occupies a 1FU wide strip down the middle, minus the wings ofc, which occupy a 1FU strip across the centre.

put into perspective, my commander (one of the largest mobiles) barely fills a 2x2. although it is 43 upspring units high (1 footprint is 16x16 upsprings)...
