[RA2/YR] Scarab Utility Vehicle

warrior002.the.official

This is a utility vehicle. Good as a prop, or as an actual unit. Its purpose is resoure collection and repairing, or functions as a shield with shield generators and extra armour. Also capable of reconnaissance when equipped with cloaking devices, although it is quite slow.
It pulls closer its tracks to its hull when fired upon, thus reducing further damage inflicted on it (that version is on hold, but will come later here).

I don't have RA2 nor TS currently, so if someone was kind enough and uploaded one-two here I would appreciate that.

The zip contains two cameos (textless and normal) as usual, 5 different colours of the unit, and a one .hva file.

The colours are:
- scarab.vxl -- remappable red
- scarab_recycler.vxl -- unremappable red
- scarab_healer.vxl -- green
- scarab_swamp.vxl -- swamp green in vxlse, dark soviet in-game
- scarab_unassigned -- unassigned, has no equipment, greyscale

I, personally, used it for mining ore and as a repair vehicle for my new faction for my mod.

mine layer, if the code ever comes to support that

I saw in some weird chinese mod from ModDB a mechanic that uses the Slave Miner logic. It deployed stationary Terror Drones that exploded in a 3 cell radius. I wonder if it is still there, or disappeared like most of those "mash-ups" or what people call those confusing creations.

Now that's a game I didn't expect to pop up again any time ever. Nice.

Unit itself is very... Nod. So... yippee? lol

And it will likely pop up some more. I'm planning to model the other units with different weapons on them too and release them here (and the hybrid units, in case someone wants to use them for idk, maybe absurd tiberium mutant vehicles). The Rhino with the Scalpel turret is almost done, however, it will need some stitches before I upload it. I also have the Salamander hovercraft, but that is way different than the original. It will receive some touch-ups first, then it will appear on the voxels list along with the Rhino.

I believe and hope that the Hostile Waters units will bring more colours to Tiberian Sun and/or Red Alert 2 with their unique futuristic, yet regular designs.
