Spring RTS Engine

The logo could be bigger.

The turret could use some "joint" to the body so its not floating.

I liked when there was a more evidend (contrast) difference between the ligth armor in the back and the actual plate. (its armor right? :) ).

About the joints.. have tried with plain 5 sided cylinders?

Sad the flea is so little (not in xta) ... you cant justify adding more detail to it... :\

Aside the "it could be better" to infinity bad habit....

Give it to us!!!

you hit the point why there arn't joints. (nor at the old model).

The gun is indeed floating. The connection cylinders couls be add back (the 12 tris). But I don't think it's evern worth that. (you will only notice it hovers when you are lokking from a upward angle)




I'm a bit doubtfull about the current team color.
I like the light way. the dark way tends to put to much contrast.
Also the upper leg... it bugs be somehow. Any ideas?

does the body need some blue? or maybe his head?

the EYES
if you aren't going to make them googley (;.; damn spring and no animated testures ;.
make them team colour! >:D blue eyez! red eyez! PURPEL EYEZ!11! :D

eyes are going to reflect a lot (define googly? you mean what a drunk man sees when he used drugs as well?)

anyways, I kinda like these team color texture:

let's get a ingame shot!

Ribbs(armor)= teamcolor
i like!

The logo could be bigger.

i meant: the logo in the back of the turret looks great! (it could be bigger).

last one has but too much teamcolor for my taste :p

Hold your horses



I've changed some team color of the legs. and made the logo bigger.

k, off to the next part then ^.^

I think its nice. For a unit thats the size of my pinky, even when zoomed all the way up!

Unless you play to make...Fleabowl?

If you zoom in max, the flea is 4 times bigger then your screen. (1280*1024 res)
And yes, I am planning to rerelease fleabowl.

Cool...cool...cool.

googley means they roll, like so :]

Sure thing, you script it, I'll make 2 pupils.

Well I've finished the flea for Spring uses.
That is, expect the scripting part.
I hoped to use the old script, but the walking animation doesn't seem to fit this model. (it falls apart when walking).

Thus, I hereby request a scripter willing to take a look at it :)

Notice how shiny light blue it is ^.^ I've no idea why, but it sure looks lovely!

Package v0.3B: here

Looks good!

It is not the script that is wrong, it is the model:
Your piece origins aren't placed properly: pieces turn around their origin point, so you must ensure that origin are on the joint. I'll fix it.


Aww, it's so cute when it's running!


So, here it is:
ZenkaFlea.sdz

Simply copy this file into the root of your Spring folder, and bam, you got ZenkaFlea buildeable from the arm level 1 kbot factory. (Somehow I didn't found back the old flea, was it moved to L2 or what?). Single player only, don't do it in multiplayer or fear the Sync Error.

- I renamed all files and modified the FBI to reflect that.
- I added back a "base" piece, because of my philosophical beliefs.
- I set the origin of all pieces properly.
- I clicked the "estimate" buttons, I hope it's ok.
- I used an unmodified plain ArmFlea script from Cavedog. Works well!
- I made it buildeable in arm level 1 kbot plant.

Wonderfull!
Thanks a lot zwzsg. Another thing learned ^.^
I'll adept a small thing with the team colors and then I'll send it to Noize.
Thanks again!

[Edit]
All right. I've fixed the team color thingy.
A shot from the eyes, to make Min3mat happy

Release package: flea remake v1.0R

Some how it doesn't feel correct, it seems a bit to bright, and i think the metal texture needs some more variation (dark metal/ shiny metal).

Also I think the end of the barrel should be a small amount larger.

I do not understand the eyes...

that is where the neck/chest is..

the part that looks like a little head in the front is his head.

also the lag is because the game is NOT precaching the texture. sounds like a spring bug.
