Here the truck is with the loading animation guy, thanks to White. I've also added loading and unloading animations to the refinery too! Just cameos and actual oil tiles (and replacing the blossom tree with a derrick haha) and we're done. ... all for one map XD EDIT: Should I call this vehicle "oil truck" or "oil tanker"?

Well yeah I have to admit. Multiplayer is kinda broken as-is. Factions start with unremappable units and units belonging to the wrong factions. And it's probably unfair. Haha Cheers for your considerations.

The only new infantry in my mod, outside of heroes, are Navy SEALs. That being said, they are kinda amazing, haha. But there's only two missions in the campaign where Flame Tanks are buildable anyways. If I'm honest, in those two levels they just aren't that useful Tomorrow doesn't really fight the Company of Answers in their own campaign. In summary Flame Tank = Great against Company, okay against USA, poor against Russia & Tomorrow. Could probably just go with $700 just to keep things interesting. Glad you like the darker icon. Eviiiil tank haha

Thanks guys. Your positive feedback means a lot.

It actually looks okay in my opinion. I can show you some paletted PNGs when I get home if you like.

I removed the exhaust things from the model and readded them by hand. Good result you think? A few more manual touchups will be needed on the body itself but it's 95% there I think

And here's the apc's different background:

Not in this mod! The Rocket Launcher has extra range, only requires Communications Centre and is Tomorrow exclusive. Russia gets the APC though in the bonus mission. I admit that, if this was going to be multiplayer compatible it's probably going to have to be an OpenRA thing. But that's a long way off at this stage. I think I have an evil idea for the cameo though. A different background! That way the tank can stay the right colour and be at the right angle and yet still look different. As far as Flame Tank goes, I mean, it's currently 800. Is that fair? I only say that because almost everything is 800 haha. Tomorrow's weapons factory: Overseer $400 Rocket APC $800 Medium Tank $800 Rocket Launcher $800 Flame Tank $800 EDIT: Here's the flamer cameo that I was inspired to make

Haha alright--so which would you vote for? :O The icon as is or using a FMV one as a base? Good point though. Might recolour the flame tank icon. Might change the price on the flame tank too. Does anybody think it should be worth 600? XD Good on you Kilk. Trying to derail your own thread. Ignore the totodile people

The brown version isn't bad! I'm leaning towards a grey icon though because the main faction that can build APCs is Tomorrow. The Company of Answers and Chris Brutal don't get a Weapons Factory and Russia/USA are more bonus factions than anything else. One alternative is using this as a base. Personally I'd change the colour and add a rocket pod on top. And thanks White! I do all my graphic work in PhotoImpact 6. It's a really old version of the program that I got off of a computer magazine CD. But I use it for everything from sprites to artwork to website design. :O

Mmm does this look good enough?

Haha thanks White. To be honest, this is actually the gun from the Soviet Phase Tank from RA, recoloured, on top of the C&C APC. I also turned the turret shadow into real shading on the vehicle. I'm not 100% happy, but 95% happy. So good enough I say! When I make a edit to the cameo I'll make a thread in the graphics section.

Ah it's very much an APC still. It's just got a different gun.

Haha okay, you twisted my arm. XD It's a simple one, but does it work well enough? The rotations seem very slightly off to me. Unsure!

Hi guys! In my C&C mod the APC has been changed to fire a single bazooka rocket instead of a humvee weapon. Should I bother changing the graphic to put a turret on top or something (yes I know it would be locked to the orientation of the tank, I just mean graphically) Just asking what you guys think.

Happy for you guys. Hope your servers have been able to handle it.

Does anybody know how contact such people? XD I get kinda intimidated when I try to talk to people with imdb pages.

Yeah I know. I've not been home for a little while and I don't have any SHP tools at work. Thanks for your support guys.

Haha thanks White. Well you of all people are most welcome to use it when it is done--my refinery is a modified version of yours anyway. I was thinking of using your little man as the loading and unloading too actually :O

I did just that. Shadows help a lot don't they? Doesn't look like it's floating around anymore. In my personal opinion, it's pretty close! Just a bit of work on the details like the tyre shape and the exhausts disappearing/blurring to hell and I think it'll be done.

Well, I tried doing something again without shadows. I think you might be right as far as the dithering goes though, it's blurring it to hell. Still, at least the shadows and shape are better.

Thanks for the offer Nyer. I think that I might tweak the model a bit more first--it's a bit thin in my opinion, like it was a one person truck. I might also turn down the under light, to make the darker parts of it a bit darker. But yeah I'll definitely try something along those lines to get it less blurry.

Hi there everyone, Inspired by White's oil truck and refinery, I've been making my own version. I based my refinery off of his (will credit of course) but am making my oil truck from scratch. This is my first attempt fitting it to SHP. It started its life in 3D Studio Max. So what do you think? Comments and criticisms welcome. EDIT: Yes, I know the shadows are awful. Ignore them please! When I do this again I'll render them without shadows and then stick them on again afterwards as they have blurred with the main vehicle too much.

Hi guys! I'm looking for a US female! I need one who'd be happy to record a few lines for my C&C mod as one of the units (my version of Tanya basically). Thought I'd ask here as this is a forum for C&C fans after all, haha. :laugh: Anybody you can recommend?

I might suggest fixing up the text to be C&C style though. It is very slightly squashed. Looks great otherwise though.
