What kind of normalmap do you mean? Also do you have the required shader? (the pie files support normal maps but the current default shader doesn't use them, at least not in beta 3.1)

Ok well ill leave that till the game supports the shaders etc I thought everything was up and running.

I have been reading the forum on lighting and other threads its very confusing as to what actualy works.

PS: One should never assume I just looked in the files and the shaders are missing
PPS:

Code: Select all

0(73) : error C1038: declaration of "lightDir" conflicts with previou

Bit beyond Me ill wait till its done.

just messing with normalmaps same texture I played with material but it seem to have a negative affect unless you had it on default 1.0
Here's my critique :lecture:

I've sketched on the attached image, though, I'm really not sure what's possible with wz texturing:

-paint the flaps on the wings/rudders a non-team color, different from the body

- make the cockpit glass bigger

- what's up with having bay doors on the top of the transport?

-use team colors where the engines meet the body

-reduce the model size in the build menu

-texture rivets on all hard edges of the body

bay doors on top of transport could be used when it's carrying vtols - vtols could fly out the top?

I didn't think vtols were allowed into the super transport.

Neither did I.

But apparently they are. I guess it can be useful for transporting plasmite VTOLs on slow bodies, or something. The transport seems to be very very slightly faster than a Plasmite scorpion VTOL.

you could always make a patch from AR's shader and put it to a new ticket . ;-)

Look people, I was just interested in model submissions, not flame wars or anything that isn't constructive criticism.
We had a few good designs in this thread, and most need a bit of tweaking to make them fit the "Warzone" style.

Yes, it is possible to have more than one super transport design.
Yes, the super transport can carry VTOLs in it.
No, you can't change turrets at this time, that requires more code changes, and that isn't what I had planned right now.

Please try to help each other out, if you don't like the way it looks, then ask for the model in question, and tweak it yourself, and then we can compare and contrast.

Make sense ?

I'm with vexed. ;-)
But one more thing for future (was talked about more than one year ago), rotating engines. :-P
Or it is already done in game?

could be done if devs will allow(in code) using the animation that is used for oil derricks.

Normally i wanted to change a few things in my first model, but then i noticed that it would be easier to start from scratch and
make something similiar. But that wasnt enough for me. My first concept has one big disatvantage. Its too clumsy and looks more like a litte ship than a super transporter.

I wanted to make a shape that looks bigger, so it needs more detail and this came out:

What do you think about it? Is it better than my first one? Im not sure on wich one i should focus.
