5th December 2004 - 3 Anti-grav tanks

The Great Apple · Dec 5, 2004

The first batch of hover tanks for the 40k mod. As I type they are rolling... errr... floating... off the production lines, ready to kill some arrogant Space Marines

Falcon Grav Tank (descriptions stolen from the 40k units thread, along with bad spelling...):
"Gracefull swoopy Tank unit. It hovers so it moves two spaces and ignores swamps and hill and can rebase n' stuff."

EDIT: I forgot to stick the death animation in with the falcon! I've attached it, and it's now sitting at the bottom of this post!

Fire Prism:
"Like the Falcon, the Fire prism moves two spaces and ignores swamps and hills and rebases. It is a fairly heavy tank."

Nightspinner:
"Mobile Arty which can atatck and defend are rebase and all that cool stuff"

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/NightSpinner.zip

All 3 come with what sounds I could put together. Next up should be another load of grav tanks probs (wave serpent, firestorm, cobra), as I can base them on these guys, and can steal some animations from myself. I released these three now, as they are done, and I don't know how long the other three will take me to do.

Have fun!

EDIT: And here is the poor forgotten lost falcon death flic...

EDIT 2: Fixed .ini also attached for the falcon

EDIT 3: Fixed pedia .pcxs for all of them (wrong colour depth...) Attached below!

Pretty cool

I'll find some use for them. Great looking attacks. :goodjob:

Snorken · Dec 5, 2004

Not bad!

Altough i think they should have the Ulthwe Craftworld's colour scheme...
Are you going to do the Scorpion Type II?

It's civ-specific. I'm not entirely sure it it worked out well. Some colours I think they'll look odd in, while others seem fine...

The scorpian is on the shortlist - what is the scoprian type 2?

Snorken · Dec 5, 2004

Is the green colour civ-specific?

The Scorpion Type II

Dom Pedro II · Dec 5, 2004

I like these units, but more importantly, I wanted to compliment you on your showmanship with that presentation gif.

MarineCorps · Dec 5, 2004

What gif?

MarineCorps · Dec 5, 2004

Odd. I can't DL the files. I get to 61% on prisim then it won't allow me to go any further.

odintheking · Dec 5, 2004

Cool. I never heard about WarHammer 40,000 in my life before I came to this site, but I obviously must be missing alot. Those tank thingys look awsome.

Smoking mirror · Dec 5, 2004

Exelent, I was hoping you'd release these this week, means I can gauge the required size for the Tau Hammerhead and devilfish.

These are superb, the attack animations are very inventive.

One thing I did notice, Is there no death animation for the falcon? I often forget to include flicks myself, prior to posting the zip, I hope thats the case.

You're right... errr... there should be one! I'll just poke around on my PC to see where it has got too.

30 seconds later: Ok, turns out I missedt he zipping directory when I was sorting it all out. I'll attach it to the first post...

Pantsofpower · Dec 5, 2004

WOW!

These are excellent... can't wait to load 'em in and kick some %%%. If you know what I mean. :mischief:

Anyways, nice job!

Goldflash · Dec 6, 2004

Holy ****! They're Done! EXCELLENT! Now, I could go update the library, but that's too much like actuall work.

Kinboat · Dec 6, 2004

Very cool

citizen001 · Dec 6, 2004

This is extremely leet, do they look exactly like that in the game?

Vuldacon · Dec 8, 2004

Very Innovative and Totally Cool... :goodjob:

Wow! How did I miss these? These are amazing!

I didn't realise that they were civ-coloured. I put them in-game and I was blown away by the colours! :cool:

Your best units yet.

I've only downloaded the Falcon right now but you have two problems

In it's INI you miss-spelled the name for the Shruiken .wav sound (which crashes the game) and the pedia pics have not had their colours reduced to 256. I know how it is though - I've done much worse.

joeskip · Jan 4, 2005

wow. These are really cool units, I might have to start a whole new mod.

CURSES! I have a nasty habit of rushing that stuff...

I'll... err... do something about it!

EDIT: Well, my computer says that they are 256 colours...
Attached to the first post is the fixed falcon.ini. I had another look through the others, and they should be fine.

muffins · Jan 5, 2005

Not sure what the prob is with the pcx's :confused:

In-game the pics were black. When I checked them out they were in 16 million colours or something. It might just be a courpted download.
