I've been everywhere, man
My first completely new unit:

Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATST
Poly: ~ 1500

This is a relatively high poly model. Use it with caution if you have a slower system.


Details:
This is my first completely unique unit, with all-new animations, sounds, etc. It is as finished as I have the time to make it. The run and death animation are a little rough, as this is my first time using 3DS Max to animate anything more complex than a tanks turret.

How to add it to the game:

1)Please note that I included XML that will add it to the game. These are not the full XML files, only the little bits pertaining to the ATST, you need to add these sections to your XML. THEY WILL NOT WORK BY THEMSELVES.

2)The XML files included are not intended to be used as is- please modify them to suit your needs (i.e., right now it will have the same setup as a tank; same attack, abilities, etc).

Important Notes

1)The texture and model are very rough. Because it is a complicated machine, the poly count is naturally high. I expect many die-hard Star Wars fans will find many pieces have been left off. This was done to make it more addaptable to lesser systems. Please do not ask me to modify the model to include them. The same goes for the texture... feel free to modify it to your needs, but do not expect me to do the same.

2)RL has made me VERY busy. I doubt if I'll make any more than a half dozen more units before the start of summer. I DO plan to make and ATAT next, but I have no idea when it would be finished. After this I plan to finish up some more WW1 aircraft and vehicles, possibly some ww2 stuff and maybe another modern tank or too. Everything else has to be put on hold.

Now the most important part:

A BIG thank you to Rabbit, White, for all his help with the effects timing. This unit would not be out now if not for him.

ENJOY!

-Smitty

Downloading now! Looks awesome, can't wait to try it. :thumbsup:

P.S. Haha! Got you woodelf - the Rabbit triumphs! :D :lol:
 
Aaaawwww Yeah :D :D :D

Look how mean he's being to the Lion! Very unfair. It's like Dick Cheney shooting those birds...
 
It works but I'm getting a bit buggy effects. In particular the shooting lasers don't fly through the air, they just appear near the guns and kinda hang in the air. Did you forget to include the effects xml file?

I really don't know what's going on there... I included everything that I have in a minimod I made to test it.

Attached is the MiniMod I made to test the unit as I made it... I just checked everything over, and so far as I know it works. (Please note that I have my settings on the highest graphics quality). This mod does not change any game play aspects of the ATST, in it the ATST will act just like a tank.

Dammit! I'm on the road doing family stuff and get scooped. :sad:

Great unit smitty. I'm glad it's finally here!
 
Nice! :thumbsup: You know what you should make as the death animation for that guy - a small rebel fighter circling it and tying its legs so it trips over. :D
 
With the various Star Wars units out there now, we're creeping closer to putting in the stuff required for the Original Trilogy.
