Mirage Tank Makeover [RA2]

Stingerr · Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 12:13 pm Post subject: Mirage Tank Makeover [RA2]

Well, my first RA2 voxel Razz

Btw, why can't there be a turret on the mirage tank without messing up the tree disquises? Look at the pic below to see what I'm talking about. I personally think a mirage with a turret is much better.

Looks pretty good besides having the turret split.

TBH i dont think it looks that bad. Some thing i dont like about it is that side skirts and how tall the base is. And maybe fix the normals. But it looks alot like the one on the install screen. (i think i cant remmeber what it looks like.)

i said that cuz having the turret seperate from the body doesnt work with mirage logic. It is nice though.

Someone needs to try making a tree in unittem and see if it appears correctly.

I might be wrong, but the way I understand it, the Mirage Tank logic turns one voxel (entire tank, as given in default voxel) into one SHP (tree, as given by default).

Besides, why use a turret? the Mirage Tank's ROT is so high, it does not even need to spend time turning to track a target.

Dont remember where did you ask for RA2 Install Images, so here they are. Here are also YR Install Images.

Maybe he made a new entry for the voxel in artmd.ini. It's not supposed to happen....maybe it's because of the new HVA?

EDIT: Mystery Solved! I was right, the HVA was causing the problem, i put the voxel in the game's mix files (exapndmd02.mix) WITHOUT the HVA that was provided and it worked! the game reads the trees and voxel correctly! Here's some proof:

EDIT2: The normals don't look as good as in the screen Stingerr showed us, but hey, it's no big deal!
