Do the Tau not have titans? If so, there's not much point in making up rules for super heavies. Never saw the rules for the Tau myself, but it seems strange using them in Epic if they have no super heavies or titans.

They have no titans persay. They have a huge plane type thing called the manta i think it is.
http://www.dropship.org.uk/articles/art012.asp Its an absolutely massive thing on the field but looks very cool.
Well, you did say epic

That big plane at the top is the Imperial Aquilla
I've just spent two hours modelling that
EDIT: Better Picture:

I must say... WOW! The impireal gaurd amry is alway's impressive. But why havent i seen any Basalisk Earthshaker Howitzers? I made one... but it looks like crap:
You'd think it would look good with a textue... but it dosent!

wow all those units are great i'm not familiar with the imperial aquialla craft though. looking very spiffy. i'd also like to second the motion for a basalisk.

Well, I'm about halfway through making a Warhound Titan (Lucius Pattern):

The basilisk is most definately there... (see page 3)...
Also, are you going to do all the possible variant of the titans?

The Basilisk has been made, yes.
Titan looks like fun!

By variants do you mean weapon combinations or, for the Warhound at least, the Mars pattern too. I'm planning on doing a couple of weapon combinations at least. As for different styles of warhound, I'll leave that to someone else. Once this one is in there, I'd like to move onto something else. I actually prefer the original Mars pattern, but the lucius pattern is more angular and hence easier to model with a lower poly count.
BTW, there's a great source of
Epic photo material here.

The Basilisk has a gun shield:

Well I got the Baneblade and Shadowsword into Spring, the Volcano cannon on the Shadowsword appears to work alright with a limited fire arc. However the Baneblade main cannons and lascannons do some really weird aiming. They do shoot, but they appear to like aiming their cannons at the sky and ground:

High Trajectory maybe?

If only, they're shooting at units close to them and the one in the background is shooting down at the ground underneath it. Maybe he's trying a rocket jump, but that wasn't my intention.

Must be in the aiming script then. I'll check it.

IG Cannon Shells. OTT as always
EDIT: Benito, Spring likes running Aiming scripts constantly instead of once in OTA. That could cause problems, as the TurnMain( heading, pitch ) and TurnSec( heading, pitch ) will run constantly.
The Shadowsword doesn't have this script bit and doesn't have said problem.
Baneblade Aiming Script Script:
Code: Select all
TurnMain( heading, pitch )
{
turn mainturret to y-axis heading speed <90>;
turn mainbarrel to x-axis <0> - pitch speed <30>;
wait-for-turn mainturret around y-axis;
wait-for-turn mainbarrel around x-axis;
b_aiming_main = FALSE;
}
TurnSec( heading, pitch )
{
// do not aim if outside fire arc
while( ((heading > 1820) && (heading < 63716)) )
{
sleep 300;
}
turn secbarrel to y-axis heading speed <90>;
turn secbarrel to x-axis <0> - pitch speed <30>;
wait-for-turn secbarrel around y-axis;
wait-for-turn secbarrel around x-axis;
b_aiming_sec = FALSE;
}
AimPrimary(heading, pitch)
{
signal SIG_AIM_MAINCANNON;
set-signal-mask SIG_AIM_MAINCANNON;
b_aiming_main = TRUE;
b_aiming_sec = TRUE;
start-script TurnMain( heading, pitch );
start-script TurnSec( heading, pitch );
wait-for-turn mainfire around z-axis; // wait for timer to end
// wait for one gun to finish aiming
while( b_aiming_main && b_aiming_sec )
{
sleep 100;
}
return (1);
}
Shadowsword Aiming Script
Code: Select all
AimPrimary(heading, pitch)
{
// do not aim if outside fire arc
if( ((heading > 1820) && (heading < 63716)) )
{
return (0);
}
signal SIG_AIM_VOLCANOCANNON;
set-signal-mask SIG_AIM_VOLCANOCANNON;
turn volcanocannon to y-axis heading speed <90>;
turn volcanocannon to x-axis <0> - pitch speed <30>;
wait-for-turn volcanocannon around y-axis;
wait-for-turn volcanocannon around x-axis;
return (1);
}
I'm probably wrong though. I suck at scripts
