Not a fan of yellow lasers, and they shouldn't have shadows, but that's quite cool.

Would it be possible to switch from a square base on the towers to round one, like the remap circle?

Cool stuff. I look forward to another great asset Very Happy

looks really good, but i agree with every point Orca has.

@Furry, its just a blown up image, thats all.

@Orac, k, i'll change the base and fix the lasers, though I figured yellow lasers would fit the Allieds better.

and thanks for the comments and feedback. Smile

I think sky-blue would fit better for the allies, with a round base for the end pieces. No shadows for the lasers; they should be emitting light, not blocking it. #Tongue

Other than that, I like it, a lot.

I could use that for BCD. The new one is awesome burger. I do think the blue lasers are a bit bright.

Nah, looks lovely.

Bu7loos · Commander **Joined**: 27 Jul 2011

Nice ! will fit my mod very well Smile

Looks fun and goofy, reminds me of the Crash Bandicoot 3 technology levels. I like them.

ArvinCool · Tiberian Beast **Joined**: 01 Jun 2008

v2 is nice. the only thing is, the yellow thing where the laser is coming from should be the same color as the laser(change from yellow to sky-blue).

yeah, but wouldnt that clash to much? You really dont even notice the yellow when the lasers are activated anyway. Confused

Just for the reference: Better show off the walls as they will look in-game, not how they might look if resized and whatnot.

^ Agreed. Personally I find 3D models ugly unless there scaled down and sharpened to fit better with the game.

Having said that, I can imagine that it would look good.

I don't really think its good having that brighter area when the lasers meet. Also, the yellow posts are a little odd.

Regardless, great work. Very Happy

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

Meh, I dont think the blue lasers look good at all, but thats just me.
It might have looked better if there was other shades of sky blue, but theres only the one

Remappable lasers then like the prism weapons already are?

That was my next plan of action, because everyone dont use Ares so using a custom palette with more shades of the sky blues wouldnt work for everyone.

Hmm, maybe that shade of blue wasn't the one we wanted.

Try a darker blue, and for the active anim, have it shimmer white?

Well, there is actually only one usuable dark blue also. Unless your talking about the violet blues, but I think those would look horible. I think the best thing to do is remap them.

Do a remap version and an Ares version. If these are proper laser fences, they won't work correctly without Ares anyway.

^^This. Without Ares, they cant use laser fence anyway.
Am I the only one who think the lasers should be thinner? They are to fat imo.

Thats right, Laser Fences only work in RA2 and dont work in YR without Ares. I forgot all about that. Well, then I guess I can make a custom palette and a remap version then. But the release wont be tonight now like I had planned. Just these things here consumed my whole damn day and messed up my schedule for other things already. Mad

Why do the lasers have white outlines?

Holy_Master · Commander **Joined**: 21 Jul 2004 **Location**: Thailand

why don't make laser as remap instant? atlest they will not look off when you change team color.

To give it more illumintion, and why you blowing up my image? Razz

Anyways, yeah, remap lasers are looking much better. But still gonna do a custom palette version too. Also there is another active anim being worked on, so dont worry Smile

**dont mind the miners, lol

wow! that is, like geeks like to say, smexy Very Happy

Thought, I think the base under the laser(not the post/tower) needs to be redone. It is to large. It should be small like how WW did on their TS model.
Still, I would use that model in my mod Smile

Mig Eater · Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:40 am Post subject:

It look good but the design doesn't match the stock RA2 buildings IMO, it fits in with you mod tho...

Well, it seems that LaserFences can only utilize one Fence section. Meaning that you can use seperate, different laser fence posts, however the game is hardcoded to only use the first listed structure with LaserFence=yes. So I will have to make a "universal" type laser Fence section that will fit both the soviet and allied fence posts I'm creating.
I will still release this one here for those of you who only want to use laser fences for allied side only.

Wow ??! I sewear to god that i made a skitche of your power plant Cranium and some it looks like it, ontopic: nice work with laser fences Remaps are much better Smile

Blade · Cyborg Commando **Joined**: 23 Dec 2003

I agree with Mig, they don't fully match the allied style IMO, but the remap lasers are a great imporvement. Maybe make the emitters squared more like the prism tower emitters if you want to allied it up. The shared fence sections are a bit of a problem, I don't think the current ones look particularly allied either. Maybe make side specific ones as well as a more generic one if you are planning to make this a public release asset so people can perhaps just implement for one side if they wish instead of multiple.

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

@Blade, thats more than likely what I'll end up doing

Heres an update, this look better?

looks like a more FireStormish but it's good you can make it like a Sonic wall just flip those line on the ground and delete the round shapes on the secion and the delete the laser , and make a sonic like energy coming out of the fliped lines with some Translucent on the ends , for coloure you can make remape if you like.

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

What if I made it to fit in with the allied walls? Razz

Yeah much better but you should replace the head of the allied wall.

ArvinCool · Tiberian Beast **Joined**: 01 Jun 2008

continue with LaserFence 0000.png, thats the best one imo.

These latest ones look cool, but the C/P feel sort of kills it for me. There's certainly a mine of style to work with here, but it might be better to differentiate it a little bit from the regular wall style since this strikes me as a bit more high tech.

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

This look high tech enough?

yeah it does i suggest power lines on the ground between sections and hub.

4StarGeneral · General **Joined**: 14 Sep 2006 **Location**: Limbo

The last one looks sorta like lego bricks if you ask me.

The 2 before may look C/P but they fit the vanilla buildings so well. Everything else would need to be remade to fit the rest.
