We're adding new units and buildings and more! + To-do -list

[Holland]

TOPIC EDIT

 

Alright so its about time i round up the new collection of assets. Here some more pics on what to expect.

I'm personally inlove with naval in ts, so i took most of the time to add Askhati's naval assets, and tried to make something myself as well, but not much luck.

 

Nolt also made a real nice naval asset:

Further more, i used some of Nolt's crystal art to make some tiberium for on sea. 

 the harvesting anim is still a work in progress. Gonna make it like Harbor wars, but this time we'll be able to build a naval ref, but the harvy can't be controlled. it has to stick to a script to make money.

After upload i'll make a playable naval map and might try to balance it as similar as normal TS as i can.

 

Askhati made this awesome little canon like 10+ years ago, also adding.

Plus i found out that these turrets are also publicly released. I might try to add them too, perhaps next upload

Also adding those other 2 tech centers, or upgrade centers, just gotta find the files, and also this one:

 

Further more, gonna add the Snow asset for XTX too:

And me and BK57 made some art on terrain, but still needs some work.

 Needs lots of work. perhaps next upload

  Trying to make destroyable concrete cliff too, lol  perhaps next upload

 

 

Ill probably add just the letters and just a few symbols for now.

 

And lastly, some Christmas stuff, so we can make some more snow maps. perhaps next upload

 

I replied to this topic with the current to-do-list.

END TOPIC EDIT

The maker of the mod TS Dusk happily gave us permission to use his assets:

Nolt has created an amazing Oil derricks for tiberian sun, that he publicly released:

 

Now, after rampa's oilderricks is implemented, we can add: ProduceCashAmount=x (where x is a number between 0 and 255, credits given on each 'tick' of the logic) to a building. So thats really cool!

Thirdly, i've been kinda making some animations to use on map for the trigger "Play anim at waypoint..",  so you can do stuff like this: 

I'm also cleaning up the art.ini, fixing some of LKO's stuff, and fixed the parashute to play a little longer:  

[AudioVisual]
Parachute=PARACH2

Alright and here the part where i need your input, I wanna add some stuff from the old Crystalized doom, but its too much to add them all. So please tell me which ones are your favorite. Please save image and circle the ones u really like:


To see them in actions, click on these links to view gifs:

cabal n forgotten stuff

infantry

 

 

 

remember i repurposed this topic from 2017 lol,  old message:

So we are gathering new units, buildings, animations, voxels etc toadd into the game for optional use (for map makers).

If you already have some cool stuff and we can use it, please post some. You can find hunderds of awesome voxels made by gamers along the years on https://ppmforums.com/index.php?f=49 or if you find other sources to get some, please do so.

Find some nice stuff you would like to see in the game, download the shp file(s), and.or vxl and hva files. It would be great if you can find the codes for art.ini and the rules for in the map file for the voxel you like, or please make some yourself if you have experience, because I'm still struggling with the right codes if the maker didnt include them.

- Please make sure we are allowed to use the voxel and let us know the name of the creator and his terms of use.

- Provide the link/source where u got it from

If you found a whole bunch, It would make it easier for me if you would test them yourself in a single map, and just give me your art.ini, map file and ecacheXX.mix

 

If you don't know how to add voxels/shps, download XCC Utilities and have a look on https://ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4037  (but for the most part this message is targeted to people who are familar with xcc utilities)

Hi Holland. 

Navy5EAL from moddb.com gave  his permission to use his stuff if needed for the Tiberian Sun upgrade. I asked him that we  might need to borrow his civilian cars  or other stuff, that of course I would credit him for making these units. 

 

I felt he made good material for civilian vehicles that looks consistent to Tiberian Sun atmosphere. Not to mention he added some  Tiberian dawn units and Improved their look. He has some new cameos as well that looks fine. 

The first photo is something that might be interesting for civilian stuff, adding more toys for map markers. Also improved looking Tiberian dawn units; the heavy tank and the MLRS. 

The second photo is an artillery. This one looks good for new mobile artillery unit. 

The third photo is elite cadre that the cameo looks more nod like.

Here is the link for downloading the mod: 

http://www.moddb.com/mods/tiberian-sun-205

 

I'm still trying to reach other mod makers and waiting for permission to use their stuff. 

 

That's that's for now.

Very good progress. Good that you thought about adding new plants. The palms look great. And now we having navy in TS for the first time lol. Some buildings look creepy but nevertheless these things are interesting. 

I currently don't have PC nor laptop! I can't help much, but I will see what I can do the next few weeks.

I will pm you if I ever get the chance to help you.

We can totally do that. I'd love to just copy some factions from some mods, but we need the permission. But these guys are unreachable. here take a look in this topic: 

If we could get a team going working on a faction, that'll be great. After 20 years modders could definitly balance a faction out. And there has been pretty well balanced factions already, its just a matter of asking modders around. Perhaps someone could donate.

lol, zerg....

I like this topic. I see a lot of cool stuff here.

Crystallized doom.rar

 

I would appreciate help from people who know how to handle INI and MIX files: Extract the units you want and all file related, (no sounds). It be great too have a seperate (ini) file with the rules of an individual unit, and include its weapon and dont forget any particle and listed particlestyem)

(remember u can list with letters too, example: [VehicleTypes]Mod2=Mod2  it don't have to be numbers )

attached file (this message) includes art.ini, rules (and a test map) and ecache from the old crystallized doom.

Its too much for me too do by myself, and the package is too big to upload it, this version of Crystallized doom has a lot of stuff that already in expand11. So goal is to keep the size low. Don't forget about the weapon's anims.

 

just posting this image again cuz it has all the ones we can get:

(that tripod we already got)
