[Kal-el]

[pesoloco]

are you suggesting....
um no. we won't go there
that is NOT what I intended AT ALL!!

 

[pesoloco]

when i editted it. it took it off. here it is again

 

[pesoloco]

oops . forgot to attach it

(taking the image off)

 

[Kal-el]

can you get his whole body into it, or at least his torso?

 

[pesoloco]

sure. in the meantime, here's another preview - first 3 frames of build road (it will be less choppy when its all done

 

[Kal-el]

here are some pics for you I found using google.

 

[pesoloco]

[Kal-el]

thanks. you too. I'll probably be spending it on the computer. I think I'll just start the chainsaw graphics over from scratch.

 

[Kal-el]

since you're going with the road grader for roads why not a tree harvester for forests? here are a couple of pics.

Tstowe,

if I understand you correctly you are trying to prevent the anemy from knowing what you are doing right? Not necessarily trying to figure out what he is doing. Is that right?

That is exactly what i was meaning. At that point of the war, I would be more interested in denying him intelligence of my movements. I would already have combat intelligence of his defenses by that point.

Here's an updated Road animation. I added some constructions cones like we originally talked about

a screenshot

 

[Shastram]

Wow, it looks really good, especially the road grater, can you make the cones more of Orange? and maybe put a small "MEN AT WORK" kinda symbol nearby, of course, one cant see whats written, but the shape of MEN AT WORK is pretty much obvious.

Now I cant wait for you to finish this unit up, a definite addition to my game plan, too bad one cant use it to transform terrain, sometimes, I just wanna get rid of the mountains or change the deserts to something else.....

The engineer will also be cleaning up the pollution.. what u planning to do then?


Good Job

thanks. I'm working on making the cones orange.
unfortunately, we can't make it change the terrain, but we can form the terrain a little bit. (irrigate, roads, mines, etc)
The engineer will wear a radioactive/chemical suit when he cleans pollution

 

[Shastram]

for pollution:

I know the radioactive chemical suit looks like a biohazar suit wore during level 4 biohazard work. I attached a picture of one. I think they look pretty much the same. Maybe a Biohazard or a Radioactive sign displayed nearby .. would be cool.

what do you think?

Shastram :mutant:

 

[Shastram]

Here is another one

 

[pesoloco]

thank you for your pictures. They will come in very handy.

I have attached an updated road animation


(dont worry about the red line that appears in the bottom of some of the animation frames - it has been removed in the final version)
