New Unit: V3 Rocket

[Civanator]

do you have Starcraft: Brood War? If so alot of the Terran(Human) units are sweet.

 

[GIDustin]

I do have it. There are 10-11 units I want to convert from RA2, then I am up for suggestions.

Suggestions for RA2 converts:

- Tesla Tank
- Iraqi Desolator
- Cuban Terrorist
- Libyan Demolition Truck
- Apocalypse Assault Tank
- Kirov Airship
- Soviet Conscript

And if you've got Yuri's Revenge:

- Robot Tank
- Lasher Tank
- Gatling Tank
- Brute

There we go: that should take of your 10-11 units!

I want to get the tesla coil (for some odd reason) and the soviet turret (image below) Then I will begin working on your ideas. I do have yuris revenge BTW.

- Libyan Demo truck

Lol dont worry

The pic looks quite good, though whats with the red spots on the front? And I spose the red bits are civ colours, or going to be?

 

[GIDustin]

The red spots are not supposed to be there, I must have missed some frames, and yes it is civ specific.

I can make a version without them. May take a couple more hours to change all the pixels over, but i can do it.

Personally, I'd much rather you made it with civ-specific colours.

 

[GIDustin]

The rocket is civ specific. The random pixels on the hood are also civ specific, but they arent supposed to be there. I can take the spots off the truck if you want, and the rocket would remain civ specific.

For those of you who didnt like the civ specific spots on the truck (and in the rockets smoke), I have updated the zip on the first post. If you wish to only download the 2 updated flics, you can get them here

Here is a preview of the requested soviet conscript. I have the default and attack done, the death will be tricky though.

Any chance of making it a bit bigger?

 

[GIDustin]

not sure

I will play around with it

[GIDustin]

Well, I can make it 2 x the size, and then it looks gigantic. Since I am just working with screenshots, I cannot resize without messing up the pallettes. Now I have no clue what to do. My last 2 units miraculously were the right size . . .

[GIDustin]

It seems that even at different resolutions, the infantry units are not the right size, and I cannot resize them properly. I can still convert tanks as they are the normal size, but infantry in RA2 are actually smaller than the tanks (unlike civ3) so I dont think I can convert any RA2 infantry.

[zulu9812]

Okay, well...onto the tanks!

 

[Schizo_Angel]

Cool.
When I get round to downloading things again, I'll use this as a tactical missle carrier

 

[GIDustin]

Tanks it is. Now, which one . . .

I was looking at doing the Apocalypse tank, but there appears to be a very similar tank already done. The Tesla tank would be a little difficult due to the electricity, so I will save that for last. I think I may due to Yuri Gatling Tank, unless there are other suggestions.

Question:

How is this unit being used? What stats? I wanted it to be able to attack/bombard a unit, and be destroyed after attacking, but if I give it an attack, it keeps shooting missile until the battle is over, and then if it wins it doesnt dissappear. If I give it 0attack and 0 defense, but give it bombard, it works almost how it should. The attack is played once, and the unit destroyed regardless of outcome, but the V3 drives onto the enemy, then shoots the rocket into the big blue abyss. Tagging it "Ranged Attack" didnt help in either scenerio.

So, any ideas? The missile transport is a good idea, but I would rather have it as a highly mobile cruise missle.
