New wheels

[elio]

so, they're included now in our 'originals' repository.

i've also made a cleaned up version (only 64 vertices) from yours, it's all here: http://developer.wz2100.net/browser/ori ... avy-wheels (your pie files and my cleanup blender files)

These new Heavy Body wheels look nice, but, uh, how the heck are they supposed to turn, with their top halves covered like that? I know that the wheels don't actually turn in this game, but still, it just doesn't seem logical. Maybe the front two wheels can be completely uncovered so as to let the vehicle turn - which would require only a mere change in texturing.

nah, they turn just like tracked propulsion. they'll turn left if the right wheels go faster and the opposite..

I have now completed wheels for light bodies, and because Zi-Chan asked I've made the casing more rounded.
(I'll upload them in a minute, it's excess polygon deleting time)

(Thank you for the title change )
I've decided I didn't like the look of the ones which were rounded so I'm only uploading 1 of them.
Medium wheels next.

cool, go ahead

Did you understand what I meant? Perhaps "attaching" wouldv'e been better than "uploading". Maybe you did understand me and I've just confused myself. xD

[elio]

no, i just read over it^^

Why don't we see real military vehicles do this? All the wheeled military vehicles I've seen so far use wheels that turn.

New wheels for medium bodies:

I've also slightly changed the textures on the wheels for small bodies. I've removed the previous ones.

I'm impressed. Nice result!

Hum a question...how do you get two weapons ?

looks awesome

Hum a question...how do you get two weapons ?

creating a vehicle with heavy body (python) gives you a second weapon-slot after selecting the first one
if you've "upgraded" a vehicle to a heavy body, then simply switch the weapon, so the second slot becomes available
