WileyCoyote's WIPs - Continues to Lurk Around

[JimmyB76]

ooooh wiley - thats so cool!
i cant wait to try it out

[Jb06]

Looks awesome wiley!

Just had a thought... you might be able to have the weapon doors open when at red alert... would make more sense but would involve messing around with ftech quite a bit.

[Lionus]

could that be tied to MVAM.. when the weapons id deployed for firing, launch fighters simultaneously..

[Jb06]

mvam is old... ftech much better with the animation.

It would be cool to have the doors open, but I might need someone to help me out with that. I thought people were still using mvam.

I smell a collabiration 

 

[Kirk]

Why scale the model in Max when BC can scale it through scripting? I know that's not the normal way of doing it, but it might work and require less model work after porting.

[metalnick]

Cookied. Great stuff.

I'll have to refresh my memory on how to do it, but it might be possible. Its just not been done with that many doors before.

MVAM is good for separating, but not for stuff like model animation or warp swapping.

[Billz]

Did you try Nebula's suggestion of disabling model damage in order to achieve a more to scale size?

Either way, it looks great ingame.

I just thought, how the hell are you going to get the mothership ingame, seeing as it is huge (15 C.Ds seperate from the underside of the mothership) when compared to the City Destroyers.

That is, if you are planning to do the Mothership of course.

[Bren]

If you read a few pages back, he talks in detail about doing the mothership, and I'm pretty sure he had pictures last year of the troop transports inside his mothership model.

True.

and I'm pretty sure he had pictures last year of the troop transports inside his mothership model.

That will be a no- I have not built it yet.

I've sketched a possible interior for the mothership that I'm eventually going to build.

[MarkyD]

Coolio 

[1DeadlySAMURAI]

WOW, I really wish I had your sketching abilities.

[Villain]

Wiley, that screenshot sums up this release perfectly. Very sharp.

[Bren]

That's like concept art from the movie itself! GREAT work!

MAN, you're a true pro.

MAN, you're a true pro.

You are too kind.

I'm still having issues with the city destroyer. The ship works great ingame since I have it overwriting the WC Doomsday Machine model. But when I make it as a unique ship, the hardpoint fails to load though it is the identical hardpoint I used before. What am I doing wrong?

At this rate, I do not think I can get these ships done by July.

[Locke]

Perhaps BC is reading the hardpoint as a duplicate?

With the mothership, I'd think a good idea would be to create it as a god ship so it can't be harmed AT ALL.  Or even as a planetary body that orbits Earth (or some other planet).  That way, no weird-looking damages and you don't have to worry about an explosion crashing BC.
It would be SO sweet to have a battle inside of the mothership!

[WileyCoyote]

Perhaps BC is reading the hardpoint as a duplicate?

It shouldn't when the file is renamed differently, and the older ship names inside are renamed to the new one.
