New Tracks

Post by Mysteryem »

(I couldn't decide where to put the thread so I put it in mapping/modding)
I would like to make some new tank tracks for the game, but I would like to tailor them around what the community would like and thinks suits warzone 2100, if the tracks are succesful I will make some half tracks using my wheels models. I will attempt to use only the textures that are in the game already.
The things I'd like to know:
The detail; would you like the detail done by the texture or would you like the detail to be done by the polygons.
The shape; I've experimented with different styles, but don't know what to do, perhaps giving me an image(s) would help.
The textures; which textures I should use for each part, I want to keep it different from the wheels.
Below are some images of ideas that I had.

Those remind me of WWI tank tracks - It looks too primitive to my tastes. If they ever implement the Tracks I, II, and III, I think that is an excellent model for Tracks I
Did the I, II, and III propulsion schemes just upgrade existing propulsions like, say ABFSDS rounds upgrade damage but don't change the weapon.
-Or-
Do they replace the older propulsion, like Assault gun replacing HMG& others, and the HPV replacing the medium cannon?
IE, can the different propulsion levels have different graphics?

Tracks II and Tracks III, etc aren't available to players; they only exist on AI units in campaign (and maybe skirmish, but that's unlikely). You never get them yourself, so there's no upgrade mechanism at all.

Tracks III in multiplayer would be insane - 5x as much HP as Wheels.
