Siberian Husky (Red Alert 2 conversion)

[Chukchi Husky]

Are you done, Chukchi_Husky ? I've downloaded every update ^^

If I make the G.I. and Conscript larger, should I also make the husky larger?

Do you convert your units frame-per-frame or do you have a Steph-like program (©) ?

I extract the units using a C&C modding program (all the game files are contained in a .mix file) into individual frames (.pcx format), convert them into .bmp, then use SBB. One problem is that most of the frames are blank (the Husky had 344 frames, but only 171 of them had a sprite on them).

Compared to Straczynski's dog and a human unit, it looks good. Maybe just a little smaller than it should be, but we're talking about 3 or 4 pixels here

 

[Chukchi Husky]

If that is a German Shepherd (a large dog) than it should be larger than a Husky (a medium dog). In RA2 they were both the same size (which is strange, but then again a husky would make a bad attack dog).

 

[Supa]

Then, there is no size problem

 

[Straczynski]

About yours dogs, Straczynski, didn't you plan to do some others ?

Yeah, I had plans on the Austrian king's Mastiff... But the studies are taking all my time...

I think Charles' dog isn't a German Shepherd. It's a sort of hound dog. Aristocrats didn't use shepherd dogs.

Awwww, she looks like my dog, . I can't wait to tea into enemy forces with her,

Good job, it's so cute...

Ahh red alert 2, many great hours of RTS fun there prehaps you could do the apocolypse tank or the flak track, tanya would be cool too.

As for the size of the Conscript and the GI... Well, Steph's SBB can enlarge them...

That's good to know. I should like to have alot of those Chariots of War units he converted enlarged too...if only I had the gumption to learn how to do that myself!

It's a Mastiff. The German Shepheard was taken from the Conquistador.

G.I. fortify:

That is a sweet fortify animation!!

 

[subbss]

Thank You!!!
I can really use this for my mod (link in sig)!!!

 

[hIdDeN_eViL]

for the GI, is the attack going to be while fortified or standing up?

Standing up would make more sense (the G.I. is attacking afterall).

 

[hIdDeN_eViL]

if the attack animation is standing up, wouldn't the GI have to stand up to defend itself as well... even from a fortified position.
pls correct me if i'm wrong, but when you order an attack, isn't the animation sequence run-fortify-attack. If the attack is standing, then the animation would be walking GI, fortifying, then standing back up to attack... too much movement

i say attack should be from fortified position.

do what you think is best anyway, ur units so far have been fantastic!

 

[Snorken]

tanya would be cool too

I couldn't agree more!
Edit:The G.I. fortify looks awesome!

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I looked at both G.I. attacks. Each attack has six frames per direction. The stand up attack only fires once during the six frames, but the fortified attack fires three times during the six frames.

Here is the G.I. fortified attack:

G.I. standing attack:

The G.I. fortified attack is outstanding!
