AchromicWhite Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Here it is, one more asset to my mod, now downloadable by the community Armored car with a Spandrel Missile launcher on top. This is a turreted SHP (64 frames) The RAR contains both the unit and the icon. BRDM-2TankDestroyer.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen9109 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hmm seems like you're back on making new units now. Anyways, do you have EXOS unit creator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have SHP builder... it sucks, but I rock enough to be able to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Makes me think back to the days of Desert Combat for BF1942... Nice to have you back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen9109 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have SHP builder... it sucks, but I rock enough to be able to use it. I see. Oh and judging from the unit's appearance this appears to be self-made not replaced. I'm impressed and I know it takes ages to make such units like that. Nice job! I have to say 5/5 for this. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 I never left... just takes me ages to make things xD Yeah, I wish I'd got to play more DC really... was a cool mod. And yeah, it's self made, the base part is an edited light tank chassis and the top part is scratch, but used the ssam (destroyer turret) as a guide to help me know where the next pixels needed to be. What is cool though, is that the BRDM-2 has lots of different tops. So I could make some variants too... although, I don't plan on putting any more units into my mod... but I might make them, just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 So your like me working quietly. Bf1942 and DC are still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I've been looking for a copy of them for ages... my computer was too crap to play them back when they came out... now I have a computer too crap for BF2, but can't find a copy of 1942. FML lol Oh well, I'll just MAKE a great game instead (kinda reminds me of when I was a kid and didn't have money for transformers... so I made my own out of paper and cardboard, like a boss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ooh, that's a beautiful SHP. Could you make a version with separate turret too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 This DOES have a separate turret. boo YA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Ah nice. Can't check that stuff from work; no SHP tools here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen9109 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Oh yeahh that reminds me. Why didn't you use Cameo Creator instead White? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 I have the cameo picture creator thing (just an image with all the bit on a blue background). Maybe I've never opened the program xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen9109 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 To tell the truth. Cameo Creator's no program. The tutorial is posted by Allen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Well, I DO use that template... wasn't that obvious with the nice border and lettering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halley50 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 this unit can load (and unload!) infantry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 As the Red Alert engine stands, only 3 unit spaces (as you can only replace units, not create new ones) have the ability to carry troops, the APC, supply truck and Phase Transport. Also, because this has a turret, it would have to go over the Phase Transport because that's the only one out of those three that has turret and transport capability. That is, unless you use ARDA http://www.stuffhost.de/files/redalert/arda.html A Red Alert, modders add on. Then you can add turrets to any unit. This SHP does NOT have the extra frames of it loading and unloading though so it currently it would cause graphical errors if you tried to do that. But that wouldn't be that hard to change, really.

halley50 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Of course, so was the question. Then, you add the extra frames? Is a good unit! Hablas español? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Use XCC Utilities (XCC Mixer) It will convert the .shp to 32 editable files (TGA, PNG, PCX, etc) Than added the needed extra frames that APCs use. (38 or 40 frames I think) You can also look at the APC.shp for the needed facings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halley50 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have no experience. Could you help me? I would also make a new infantry unit that I have not seen in any mod. In ARDA is possible to put turret in "ants"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes, arda can make the ant units have 32 facings and have turrets. I'd say look at the stnk.shp (phase transport) for the facings/frames. New inf is cool, but just note that they all have about 400-500 frames each. So doing anything more than a few pixels change, can take a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 You need XCC Utilities http://xhp.xwis.net/ or http://xhp.xwis.net/utilities/XCC_Utilities.exe (Direct Download) Here is some info on how to use XCC Mixer http://xhp.xwis.net/documents/guide_XCC_Mixer.html http://yrarg.cncguild.net/old/index.php?page=tutorials/xcc Also make a post in "The Barracks" part of the fourm saying you want to learn how to mod RA1. Maybe some one know of a tutorial or 2. If no one post back I'll do my best to get you started. On a side note. Any XCC Utilities tutorials that are for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn to Red Alert 2 are usefull for geting a basic understanding on how XCC Utilities and XCC Mixer work.
