no, 512x512..
well then i'll start again..and put a texture from imageafter.com
that's not that bad so i can make a screencast
headquarter
Re: headquarter
Well, you don't have to throw this one away and start anew, you could leave it like this and instead texture another building. It's just that bigger textures look much better ingame.
Re: headquarter
hmm, the weapon plates were too small, so i made them bigger + it extrudes a bit inside the hq.
this would be the fully upgraded command center, the idea of a stronghold
it could hold 5 weapons, afaik savegames only supports 4 weapons. but 3 should be ok...
how do you like it? do you like the proportions? (mind you its 2100 not 1980 http://wiki.wz2100.net/Style_guide) the fully upgraded hq has much of nexus style
.. wait i've an idea..i'll do an update

Re: headquarter
Outstanding, looks better and better all the time.
Re: headquarter
ok, as you like it i'll continue working on it
Re: headquarter
Its very COOL! But i hope youll forgive me if i say it... it looks less and less like an HQ and more like defence fortress upgrade or TOS starbase! lol,still i love it!
How about making defence towers like in earth2150 with one big main weapon and 2 small secondaries?

Re: headquarter
It looks absolutely fearsome. But I have to agree with the other poster, that it starts to look more like a powerful defensive building than a HQ. Which may not be a bad idea, either.
Re: headquarter
yes, a few too many lancer turrets IMO.
i believe that the HQ shouldn't have any defences at all.

Re: headquarter
I agree to with the lancers, maybe you can replace them with a radar? 
But for the rest its perfect!
Now the rest of the game's structures

because WZ uses only one fixed power resource, with an initial aggregation in the home base of operation, it is biased
towards a medieval siege mid-set of game play. this defensive fortified HQ fits that and I imagine will be fun which is
what this is all about - enduring fun, not just a fading novelty, as i see it..
if a non-fixed power resource lke solar were introduced then the bias towards medieval siege would shift more towards
the RL 21st century doctrine of battlefield operations wherein HQ is defined by what is called Counter Mobility & C41
which i do believe could provide another flavor of deep RTS fun - in other words, the best HQ defense under that paradigm
would be a nimble counter mobility and not an entrenched structure fortified with defensive weaps....

Re: headquarter
update...
the texture is now 1024x1024 (can be scaled down easily when needed) and uses only images from imageafter.com
i developed myself a new way of texturing (as i didn't find an appropriate tutorial to create such textures)
i create the model and arrange the uv-mesh in blender, then i use the plugin 'save uv-face layout' to svg, then i use inkscape to fill the polygons and then import the resulting image in gimp, where i finish it. i don't know if the texture is finish yet, i thought it'd be better to ask you what you think..
regards
