Truck Mounted Rocket Artillery

[muffins]

My second unit to boot

It has Run, Death, Fortify, Attack and Fidget animations plus smoke, shadow and Civ colours. I'll probably inprove the unit when I have time since I'm in no way happy with it. Those textures suck for a start

I've split the unit in two because of the size (15 frames in every direction)

The previews first

Fortify

 

[muffins]

That funny colour under the truck is the Alpha-shading ... it looks translucent-grey in the game

Attack

 

[muffins]

and a nice death.

Part one of the Unit is below

... and this is part two

This is good, the textures on the truck make the unit look professionally done, only problem I have is the death animation. A military vehicle like this wouldn't tip over cleanly(With the rockets falling neatly in the opposite direction). An explosion or something would have been better I think..check out Aaglo's rocket launcher death for an example...

Other than that this thing is GREAT! Would it be an offensive unit or part of the Artillery line Muffins?

MY PREDICTION: Look out Aaglo, Bebro, Kinboat here comes MUFFINS!

 

[Goldflash]

MUCH better than your tank (which was pretty nice) a HUGE improvement. I'd use it as Arty, Btw.

Hey Goldflash, I like his tank!! It's cool. But this truck rocket thing looks cool too.
muffins units have a different look to them than the others. I dunno, a kinduv cute look or something. Please make more units muffin!

 

[NateDawgNY]

You're getting better. Keep it up!

 

[Mr. Will]

AWESOME! Are you just going to do vehicles?
BTW, I have to say that the death is too clean. Sorry!

 

[unscratchedfoot]

This is definitely the best rocket truck made for civ. So I'm posting a better sound for it. This is the replacement for the attack sound and is very nice.

 

[Goldflash]

UUm.. Theres no file here, Scratchyman

 

[unscratchedfoot]

UUm.. Theres no file here, Scratchyman

There is so! Flasher!

 

[Camber]

These look great, muffins. If you are redoing the death, perhaps a small explosion under the truck could cause the tipping, then you could have the rockets fall in different directions. Which could cause some secondary explosions....

Pretty simple, but still useful

 

[muffins]

Hey, guys ... please let this thread die. I've gotten much better since I made this unit and, quite frankly, I'm kinda embarassed to keep seeing it here

... the very thought that 70-odd people downloaded this unit keeps me awake at night

lol

 

[unscratchedfoot]

Why? Okay, so the death anim most probably won't get you a noble peace prize, but the truck and rocket launch effects are cool.

it's not so bad but have you considered a revised version?

I've been getting to know OpenFX quite well and the powerful effects that can be added - smoke, fire, explosions etc. I promise you, when I redo this unit with a new model and new animations, it will blow the old unit out-of-the water, so-to-speak

I've got a lot of other units in the pipeline so my poor old rocket truck is going to have to wait a while.
