XANAX's mechs for 3.X+ [split]

Post by Per »

Fixed up XANAX's old mod to work with latest versions. Attached.

I am considering adding the graphics to the game, so that modders may use them. However, they lack team colours... Maybe someone could fix that? :)

That was a quick fix if there is issues post here about them.
Do note the models have higher then normal poly count so 150 of these may lag the game on lower end PC

Thanks!

The high polycount should not matter so much now as it used to.

PS I wonder what that red area on their backs is supposed to be...?

Very nice mod :) , played a whole game with them, noticed a glitch though, mechs sometimes turn into borgs.

As long as those borgs don't turn into replicators I think we'll be fine!

From some messing about you can make the default cyborgs and the mech type so i don't think its a bug.

It would be nice if we could get it so the mechs were something that could be researched later in the game - roughly around the time when ground shaker / archangels are becoming available. This way they could be given much stronger armour putting them on a par with tanks. It would also be interesting if their height advantage could be taken in to account - they should be able to fire over walls for example.

@Berg: is there any way to change the leg animation to make it faster - currently they look like they are doing a reverse Michael Jackson "moon walk" when they move.

@Xanax: thanks for making the mod in the first place. I'm so glad I finally got to see it in action.

Puzzled over the "reverse moonwalk" (perfect description, btw) 4 years ago when working on "War School" - tried to figure a way out and essentially got stuck with the anim code. Maybe now it can be solved. :hmm:

I have not looked at that ani file but it should not be too hard to tune up.
I'll get back to that later if I can.
