Here is a colorful balloon:

I use it as a recon unit, but other ideas are welcome.

Just like the balloon rally we just had nearby. Very well done.

Nice... perhaps some sort of recon unit in the late 18hundreds?

VERY neat

!

Any chance of a reskin to make it look darkish-brown and scruffy? It could be used as a recon unit in the Mortal Engines mod (post apocalyptic)

Yes, a reskin is possible

Thank you! now mortal engines has ONE unit ready lol

hello,Chamaedrys

Regarding to the mortal engines unit... just wondering if i were to edit your modle for the mod could you skin it for me? (I still don't know how to skin :blush:

)

Edit: this unit is called an airship so its sort of a cross between a ballon and blimp... but more on the blimpy side. I haven't read the book resently so im not sure if it had busters or anything like that one them.

Chamaedrys · Sep 7, 2006

Sure, you can use and edit my models for your mod.

Do you want me to make a blimb, or do you just want another texture for the ballon?

I made a button for it:

@Chamaedrys

Chamaedrys · Sep 8, 2006

I will do it.

Civkid1991 · Sep 8, 2006

Cool

(looks like your the first graphics designer for the mod... if your what that title

)

The screenie might be not so good, but the red blimp is ready.

Ah yeah your german so it can be excused but please spell it blimp for all the english people who find it annoying (mainly me lol).
I think for the mod it would be best for it to function in a similar manner to a helicopter intead of a plane... Transport helicopter even... What do you think, civkid?

Wow thanks this is really good. I'm going to go set it up for the mod now

@Magi

hummm... im thinking the airship will be similar to the helicopter... it should be able to attack other airships and trasport like merchants and ground units etc.

About the ballon im just giving some facts about but didt they use those in the napolenic wars

Very great work Chamaedrys, I love this unit :goodjob:

I tried to reskin it so that the balloon wears team color, but transparency appears as white :sad:

Is there a specific color to use to get the team color ?
