[Release]Cont + USM + WSMM + Cam 4 + Mechs FlaME Dataset
Here ya go folks. Contingency, USM, Warzone Scavenger Mini-Mod, Campaign 4, Mechs and Black Project's Scavenger HQ -- all integrated into one lovely Flame Dataset.
It's not without its' caveats ..
- Some textures don't load (no idea why, except in one instance where I had to redirect it to a pre-existing one that was probably identical). It has NO effect on the in-game functionality of the item, only it's appearance in the editor.
- In order to make the Scavenger components designable when we convert the templates to designs, I had to change them to be designable. Likewise it should NOT affect them in-game.
Get it here (Version 0.5) (6.52mb) (My Dropbox)
I'll do my best to fix any issues.

Re: [Release]Contingency + USM + WSMM + Cam 4 FlaME Dataset
Version 0.3:
------------------
- Added the rest of the Sandbag and Wood Towers stuff by Berg.
- Added a new feature "SatLink Control" for the Cam 4 side of things.
- Warzone Scavenger Mini Mod assets are now available for use. Please note that adding a standard Construction Droid will result in the proper WSMM unit being added at game time.

Glad you're enjoying it. Someday I really need to make the matching Warzone dataset.

How do you mean ? So you can work with all assets on the same map ?

Re: [Release]Cont + USM + WSMM + Cam 4 + Mechs FlaME Dataset
Pretty much, yeah. I'd like to make it so that Cyborgs and Mechs can coexist. By the way, do you still have the .pie's for the Shipping Containers? Would really like to treat those as some sort of Heavy Wall (in Scavenger terms) approaching Hardcrete in strength.

'fraid not on any of the Cargo Container .pies. All 16 variants (not just visual but structural - different stacking combos, corner interlocks and offset over hangs to create pass throughs).
Purged everything 2200 from my systems last year. Felt the need after the Chojun boondoggle over a public repo for the project. Why hold on to anything WZ I was prohibited from sharing.
But yes, that is exactly how CCs were used in 2200. The stock scav walls only made sense to me as defense against disorganized or solo scav marauders. I postulated CCs would still be in use in the latter 21st century and be all over the planet in the hundreds of millions of units and scavs would snap 'em up to build defense structs.
This was all initiated 2007. Last year I checked out a beta of a cool Indie game that was built entirely on scavs and CCs were integral to them. I felt a sense of vindication for the original idea even though it wasn't in the context of WZ like it could have been had the 2200 source been released years ago like it should have been.
Btw the Indie game referred to is called "Ravaged" and they recently released a Zombie expansion patch which also made me smile because our own Black Project explored that territory years ago with his excellent "WZ Zombie" Mod. Anticipating other games by years has been a pattern with WZ mods since the retail days.
Anyway, I moved on years ago from Scav CCs to Scav "Earthworks" which I've refined in my latest project on a grand scale with a vast Scav Island called "Cahokia", off the coast of Belize, chock-a-full of 'em.

Re: [Release]Cont + USM + WSMM + Cam 4 + Mechs FlaME Dataset
No problem, it'll give me an excuse to start making actual models. Cargo Containers should not be that difficult to make, and there are plenty of reference images around the 'net to study.

Re: [Release]Cont + USM + WSMM + Cam 4 + Mechs FlaME Dataset
True, as far making the geometry. Basically they're just boxes, all right angles. Just gotta size them to the original tile dimensions precisely, edge to edge, so the pieces join (the double stack with the upper CC offset to 1/2 an adjoining tile to assemble pass through "arches" being the exception). Visually, the most challenging is getting the dirt and rust patches trailing from seams & rivets looking natural and the overall texture not "plastic" looking - muted colors, not shiny. The nomenclature for all the files... that's something too - especially to make for ease of identification when you're assembling the "lego" pieces in the map editor.Goth Zagog-Thou wrote:No problem, it'll give me an excuse to start making actual models.

Re: [Release]Cont + USM + WSMM + Cam 4 + Mechs FlaME Dataset
Hah, that's exactly what I thought -- treat them like lego pieces.
Metrics will be important. Generally, Cargo Containers are something like 35' x 11' x 11' (or some such). Sizes vary according to purpose (some are longer, some shorter). We do indeed have a way to measure size in Warzone -- the Road tiles.
Assume that the road tiles are proper roads commonly found in Arizona, Nevada, etc -- the whole world, really -- it should be an easy extrapolation from there to properly size the Cargo Containers where they fit in and look like they should.
