The hovertank is the most agile unit in the mod with good instahitting firepower but very weak armor.

The walkers chief advantage is heavy armor, but it has only moderate firepower (for its size and cost). It's designed to walk into the enemy lines and soak up damage.

Well, first i'll have to come up with the mods name :lol:

I'm also considering if I should just keep everything secret for as long as possible or show all the mod progress. I don't know, maybe it's more fun to see the stuff for the first time in it's finnished glory... or see it growing?

In my experience, show finished work. It just usually turns out better imo. That said, I demand a personal beta!!! *whipcrack*

Those wheels look pretty good, for a 256x256 eh? Took me like 2 hours, I'll be sure to use those in the future :P

Three issues:
1) the wheels look like alloy rims to me
2) the main texture is a green blob at the moment, I can hardly make out anything
3) the treads' sides shading is interrupted (gray lines). You should stitch the UV coords together (after flipping one of them)

Yeah, i know about the wheels, I didn't know what else to try and do though.

About the camo, its supposed to look that way :P

Give me 5 mins and I'll have that tread problem fixed up.

It's not about the camo, there aren't any contour lines. I can't make out the shape. Or much of it.

I'll check on it, doesn't make a big difference to me, its pretty much two funny lookin cubes on the back and then it goes straight, then slopes downwards, not much to show, actually :?

Here is a video showing off recent work in progress on my mod.

All the textures are very much placeholders still, but there are only 2 more planned units for this faction that are not modeled. Some factories and other buildings, Scripting, effects, and balance needs to be done. Maybe I will have some kind of limited beta version that a few people can play once the first side is decently complete and playable. More information will be released too and I'll sort of an announcing mod thread. So far I felt like doing "more work less talk".

You're the next Agorm.

I wouldn't go that far, you've got flash, but you need to tighten up your texturing a little bit.
