Crevio, before you start voxelling learn some history please #Tongue

Kim Jong Il is Korean XD

Not bad but a tad plain. If you want to do Vietnam you'd need 4 sides/factions (which can possibly be subfactions and share a lot of stuff):
US Army
ARVN (Army of the republic of veitnam, the southern guys on the US side)
NVA (North Vietnamese Army, the regular army of the northern commies)
Vietcong(Communist rebels/guerillas)
Possibly the USMC, if you get REALLY bored.

Russia will only supply thier high tech heli's and maybe a few tanks, oh cant forget the Mig's Very Happy

and AA and AG Mortar. while the us will only supply thier high tech fighter jets "at the time", the F-4E phantom,F-105 Weasel, and the infamous B-52D Bombers, with some tanks also, oh and the huey.

Lt Albrecht · Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2009 3:28 pm Post subject:

IMO, it'd be better to split them so that the North Vietnamese Army who really got the Russian kit had that stuff, and then have the USA as their own side as standard US infantry were better than standard South vietnamese infantry.

yes, you must be reading my mind. instead of the pdplane the Huey will be used for mass paradrops into the jungle, and I havent tried yet but I think I can get the Smokeland anim to work for landing markers too.

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

this is a big plane, but then so were the old B-52d Bombers, they were freekin huge planes w/ massive wing span.

Lt Albrecht · Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 8:35 am Post subject:

do it by blueprints or something, the b52 had 4 pairs of 2 engines on swept wings with squarer tips.

I know, I am working on it. I downloaded some blue prints, but that Blueprints to Voxel tutorial is WACK! #Silly

I guess I'll have to figure it out myself, hopefully Confused

The ussr sent there soldiers form Estonian ssr (and porobably from other states too). I know one guy who works at a construction site, who's been in Vietnam with an engineering brigade.

Well tell me if this one is better

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

little bit of progress Very Happy

guarding a N.vietnam underground tunnel, while B-52's drop agent orange bombs on near by enemy troops...The F-105's wereon thier way to drop napalm, but.... I got an IE before I could snap a pic, so gotto figure out whats wrong.

Looks awesome. You might want to use more diverse jungle terrain.

F-105 used in vietnam

m7 · Commander **Joined**: 17 Apr 2009

Not bad. Ariel voxels aren't looking too bad.

IEs could be posted here if you have any problems.

F-105 looks pretty nice.(Yay blueprints)

I hope you're making Agent Orange really really powerful, contaminating the area for a long time, and killing off trees...

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

at the moment I only have the napalm coded to burn down the tress, however I suppose I could put some type of time delay kill for the agent orange to kill the trees and infantry as well. ahh the agony of a slow painful death. #Mischievous

Ixonoclast · Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:31 pm Post subject:

You should look at the gas weapons.

You could use napalm effects for burning trees, and use "invisible" gas (simple, give them empty animations) to emulate the cancerous Agent Orange.

Keep up the good work. From what I see it looks very good!

Huey Cobra Attack Heli

Still working on the texture!

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

Huey for infantry drop off

still needs to be painted!

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

some progress pics, the conscripts are just stand in's till I can get around to making new vietnamese Infantry.

Nice forests. It would be great to see what you do about terrain in this mod, if anything some new trees, darken the maps, even add ambient rainfall to make the rainforest feel.

Ixonoclast · Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2009 3:47 pm Post subject:

You need better trees. Really. The vanilla trees suck as jungle.

Hey if you want I could give you myHuey.

yeah, there will be new jungle trees made, as well as some new terrain tiles. I'm currently working on Bamboo fences right now to replace the soviet brick walls, some bamboo structures will be made also. I'm working solo on this so it may be some time before I get to show some real results.

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

@Roadwarrior, sure I'll use it, it will save me some time to do other things. I will credit you for the unit.

Lt Albrecht · Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2009 4:39 pm Post subject:

Also that jungle is too thick
really you need to use dark grass terrain as jungle floor and make vechs move REALLY slow through it, that would be better than making it 100% impassable.

Or make some of them use the sandbag logic and have tanks run over them.

Or you could use less trees, as that wouldn't lag like hell on any online game?

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

well i'm not sure which route i'm taking yet, was shooting for single player mission mod, but could also do a multi player version, then yeah huge amount of trees would have to be taken out for lag reasons.

@Lt, only certain areas have the thick jungle, but this is only a mock map to help me think of what to do. I have a vehicle thats gonna cut paths thru the jungle, and the f-105 with napalm that not only will kill the vietnamese hiding in the jungle but burn the trees down as well.

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

still at it.... Very Happy

m7 · Commander **Joined**: 17 Apr 2009

These are a lot better than when you first started. You've kept at it, opened yourself to the public, and have profited from the venture.

Also, nice to see another idea for a mod out and about.

Lt Albrecht · Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2009 6:18 pm Post subject:

Reminds me of V:GO And I like V:GO. Do it well and your mod will do well. Do it poorlyand your mod will (unsurprisingly) not do so well #Tongue

my first .shp file its a N.Vietnam AA Gun. working on the turret voxel for it right now.

ronco · Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 3:57 pm Post subject:

i guess you like the tank destroyer as base for your voxels #Tongue

@the NV aa gun ... im no expert with shps but if you made this in a 3d prog. you need to change the light to SW (it looks like it comes from NE) and i see you work hard on your mod but i hope you dont use this aagun like this :S... it needs to be rendered at an other background

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

why does it have to be rendered in another background? the grand cannon uses the unittem.pal and thats what i used for this, whats the difference?

ronco · Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2009 4:41 pm Post subject:

it looks like it was cuted out of an image ... if in the background is only in one color the shp builder cuts it itselve and then i think it gets a smoother border...

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

remade the nvflak above, recolored and added a vietnamese dude.
