Mutant Building - Flora Wall [TS]

Askhati · Jumpjet Infantry **Joined**: 22 Dec 2009

Alright, I know MEEP is a terrible acronymn, but I'm too lazy to come up with some more catching.

The Mutant Flora wall is the Forgotten faction's equivalent of the GDI and Nod Concrete Walls. It was inspired by the mutated landscapes we see in FS, and by the fact that I refuse to use GDI or Nod buildings for my Forgotten faction (unless it is a faction-shared building, like the Tiberium Refinery or the Construction Yard).

It includes the necessary art files, and a cameo. The original showcase was here:

I would add something joining them together. Because realistically, infantry could just walk right through.

That is true but they look good.

EDIT1:Put some kind of roots or something connecting them.

Well, the plants have spikey growths coming out the side, which should prevent someone on foot shouldering their way through. I'm going to be tweaking it some more during the week, so maybe something else comes up.

I can't decide if that's kind of interesting or completely ridiculous #Tongue

I'll upload a screenshot with some vehicles and infantry for scale. Might look a bit out of place when viewed on it's own like that.

My Forgotten faction uses mainly civilian-based structures for buildings, with the odd GDI or Nod component added at a strategic place. When seen in a base together with those buildings, the flora wall actually blends in quite well. It creates a suitably "abandoned, almost-overgrown" look.

Would look good if it had veins growing around and between the plants to make it more inpenetrable looking.

*gets idea to use veinhole monster veins as base for adding more roots and briars to the wall*

Blade, you are THE MAN.

Is there 'demaged' image for the wall?

Yep, damaged version is included.

New version, with the 'long' sections replaced by twin growths forming a V-shape.

An organic wall is a great idea, but you should really make some new art for it.

Clockwise from the top, the buildings are:
- Environ Plant (power plant) with 2x Salvaged Reactor power upgrades
- Launch Pad, firing a Chem Missile clone as superweapon (the missile actually spawns right at the tip of the missile erector, by some fluke)
- Gun Bunker, with the voxel turret from the Nod Blister Tank (as made and released on this site some years ago by someone else)
- Comm Station, with Hunterseeker Control upgrade

I'll be posting them soon, some just need a tweak or two to complete.
