Looks great.

I should note Mysteryem's walls are slightly different from yours. I rather Mysteryem's walls, which implement the idea of having teamcolor down the sides a bit; they make the teamcolor easier to see from different angle.

Regardless of where you eventually plan the teamcolor to go, I'd suggest it be striped.

"Working on" isn't entirely accurate - maybe more like "intending to eventually implement". If I were actually working on it, I'd probably be done by the time you read this. ;)
Yeah, I didn't have Mysteryem's wall models (I think that those shouldn't really be touched, they are very good already), I just got the proportions from the .pie model of the original walls and made them for comparison.

About you writing the wall code, sorry about the semantics :P
I just wanted to say that it is probably going to be implemented, but I'm not going to make it because I don't really have any knowledge about coding. ;)

I'll see when I can make the textures for the model, and while I search for time, I'll keep wating for opinions and comments.

Here is a version with textures.

Looks very good. Can you post the PIE file for this so that I can test in-game?

I still have terrible nightmares with .pie files. :( I'll provide, however, the model in .3ds format as well as the texture page (in which I've already made teamcolored parts anyway) so that somebody can make the necessary modifications.

Do I need to send the baseplate mesh as well?

I don't know... does it fit well with the other walls ?

If you mean the geometry, sure it does, as shown in this picture:

But if you mean if the texture matches, we can't know until Per or someone else from the staff achieves to test it ingame and provide screenshots.

Nightmares? :P Are you using the plugin for blender or 3ds2pie? I've never had any problems with it.

To speak the truth, it's all about lack of practice :)
I'm pretty sure that, if I spend some time looking into it, I could manage to come up with something, but ahh...
I'm soooooo lazy right now (first vacation week, you surely know how's that xD )

The dimensions are wrong by a factor of 2-300 or so and I am having trouble finding the right scale factor to match, and the model is rotated the wrong way compared to ordinary walls. Other than that, it looks good in-game.

This is odd. Well, taking a look at the wall .pie, I've found out that the length was 12.9, and then, I've made the .3ds just like that, mantaining the other dimensions proportional to that (also using dimensions from the wall .pie).

What is the 1-tile dimension I should consider? I can fiz those problems, if you want.

I don't know what dimensions that 12.9 number uses, or where you get it from. The size of a tile in Warzone is 128x128, represented as a -64 to 64 coordinate system in the PIE files. The coordinates in the 3DS file you attached above are all in fractions of 1 (eg first point is 0.029528 -0.045275 0.228346).

It's in milimeters scale, on AutoCAD. Perhaps mystryem could give a hint on what proportions should I use in my .3ds file? :rolleyes:

Hrm. I don't like the green/black stripes. It doesn't mix will with the gray and yellow/black stripes.

Hopefuly, Mysteryem can make further progress with gate models. I'm leaving today :(
