Spring RTS Engine

oh, how do they work then?

The question should be directed to Gnome. Basically the isairbase=1; tag in TA allow transported units to fire. So in Gnome's BTX TA, there are units like cubes with weapons that the tank can load.

With a bit more scripting the tanks can be made to auto-load cubes nearby, and the cubes can be made not to fire unless loaded.

However I don't know if Spring isairbase=1; also allow transported units to fire, but it shouldn't be harder than allowing for more weapons.

I was bored this afternoon so I had a go at producing a Baneblade super heavy battle tank in Silo. Here's the results so far (240 faces including under-side):



Can't wait to start adding all the turrets, 7 in all.

Of course I spent more time trying to create a 3DO out of the model than actually creating it, but that's just because I like programmatical solutions...

<update>

460 faces, two main cannons, two lascannons, three heavy bolters and some rudimentary textures later...



Now I need to give it a unit script that can convert the seven guns into three functional weapon systems...

This mistake. Only v 2.1, without updates!

WOW! I took three day's to make a small infantry man, then was snagged because my 3d program dosent convert to the right file type when it is saved. And i didnt want to pay a lot of money. Then my trial period ended for my 3d builder. Then i kindof lost the mean's to do anything else, forgot about it and started to play Spring.

That is also a really cool looking Baneblade, if i must say it.

Great Job Benito

spiffy tank

Baneblades are spiffy. Bristling with bolters, lasers and a verity of other killy things, they are great for killing infantry and tank's alike. Only problem is they are slow, expenceive and huge.

A load of Imperial Guard Tanks.

From Left to Right: Hellhound, Chimera, Leman Russ, Vanquisher, Demolisher, Exterminator

You know... I'm just planning to convert WH40KTA to Spring. So don't remodel units already in there.

But the Imperial Guard are not in WTA

Yeah, in WH40:TA, isn't there only Space marine and Eldar?
So, making the Imperial Guard is not a wast of time.
Some big tank with High Trajectory :)

I would love to see Tyranid (I've got an army of those). But it's organic units and they can't be good looking (but perhpas with the new unit format??)

Look closely. They're all different:

That is a lot of really good looking and accurate tank depictions!

BTW im dling Wing's now so i will be able to crank out some very ugly, poorly made modlefile's!

Here's the tut that got me started


10 points to however identifies this correctly:

Wheres the Basilisk?

-Azure Skye

Edit: Thats a Griffion Mortar

-Azure Skye

Yes it is, 10 points to you. I haven't modelled the Basilisk yet

I'll be suprised if anyone recognises this one:

hehe, you can find a lot of Warhammer units screen there : http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/IM ... TANKS.html (the imperial tank section)

Thats what I'm using



There's the Basilisk

EDIT: I can't stop myself:



EDIT: Goodnight. Yawn

wow... thats... erm... alot!

-Azure Skye
I like my boats in acid

Guessmyname : They look like very low poly or this is perhaps they are not textured?
