Multi Section V3 Launcher glith

comando · Cyborg Soldier **Joined**: 21 Apr 2008

I've created a new V3 Launcher, and i placed the missile on it as a new section (I couldn't "paint" the missile manually). The voxel looks fine only on W, SW, S, SE, E direction. How could I make it looking "normal" ?

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Holy shit. That's one sexy V3. The Apoc looks pretty cool too.

Also, for the white issue - don't use pure white, use the gray shades Wink

I've had this problem too. I think that it can be fixed by changing the sections' heirachy so that the rocket is on top.

I tried, but it gives me no resoults, and when I edited HVA, it get screwed.

When dealing with multisectioned voxels, HVA editor gets screwy if you add a new section and then try to edit the existing HVA (because the vxl and hva clash).

I creted new hva, but it was screwy, I mean in HVA editor everything is looking fine, but ingame...

This won't work, it will always look wrong in some angle due to multi-section.

You'd have to make the missile separately angled (I think Mig or Tony used to rotate by using the pcx of every section of a straight voxel... unsure on this) and then try paste it in layer by layer or use the txt trick for merging the voxels.

Either way, not a fun job.

I've decidet to add the missile "manually".

Here are the resoults.

Thanks for help Very Happy

Although you may have fixed the problem, I'd just like to share a solution to the original problem. The missile should be the first section and the truck the second section. Ingame, you won't be able to see the truck through the missile. Just look at some helicopter voxels for reference. You'll notice that the rotor blades will always be the first section.

Btw, nice remake. Based it on the 2D concept art didn't ya? Just darken the missile a bit. It has the tendency to cause eye burns.

Yep, it is based on concept art. I'm going to make this vxl. public soon.

The game arranges multi-section vxls by their positions relative to the other sections within the hva & not by the order of the sections within the vxl.

The problem was that the missile & truck sections where positioned within the same space so the game layered them based on size of the section, distance from each other & the section closest to the screen etc, so at some angels the missiles is hidden because the truck is the more larger dominant section.
