The_Silent: You seem to have added a empty attachment point / ref called "new ref". Remove that and this will be approved.

Some animations could be better.

Fingolfin: Changes made, resource approved.

Holy mary mother of joseph
This is just great :wthumbsup:

I would suggest adding attachment point such as origin, overhead sprite and stuff

Rex. · Jan 1, 2016

This is a good model but it needs some important changes (no joke)

-It needs another stand animation which shows the model do not move (in rest mode)

-Speaking logical, if you don't have a soldier sitting on there, then how the heck does it able to fire the chopper?

-I see you got a machine attached to the AA gun. But when I observe the Attack animation. It shows only a 3-shots Burst which does serve a great purpose if It can't fire continuously. Or make an Attack-Alternative animation that show rapid fire.

Ovarall, Its not a bad model. It just need some modification. 3/5.

HerrDave · Jan 1, 2016

I will see if I can get a default standing animation to look good, I will add rapid fire once I figure out how to get the gun sound to loop during the attack animation without hitching.

The reason it is unmanned yet functional is that I need it to work for multiple nations (which will have different looking soldiers) if I were to add all of the soldiers as an alternate stand/attack/death animation for this, it would require the custom textures of all of the soldiers and six times the alternate animations. I considered using a peasant or villager, but they are too medieval looking.

Until I can work out what is going to happen with it, it will remain unmanned much like blizzard's orc watchtower.

How about a special attachment point and a unit made only for this purpose? great model!

HerrDave · Jan 1, 2016

If you can think of an already in-game uniform or a uniform that could be formed from existing textures, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

actually, if you look closeby the rocket tower has an little dude in it, doomed to an headswirling existence of neverending rotation.

As I am as learned in attachments as a hungry snail, I must find myself asking for the names of the attachments I am to add, and vaguely where they are to be.

Warseeker · Jan 2, 2016

This model is good !

You may name an attachment however you want and put it where ever you want. Some classic warcraft 3 attachment points are: head, chest, overhead, hand (left and right), weapon and such.

Fingolfin · Jan 2, 2016

Thank you so much for making this! Gonna use it as a laser turret in World Domination. I'd really want some particle effects for that death animation, though.

Actually, wc3 only supports certain attachment names. You can alternate a lot by adding "second", "rear", "mount", etc after normal attachment names.

I thought custom attachment could be made and used with triggers?

Cherrymage · Jan 3, 2016

Looks like Flak Cannon from RA2. Nice work, homie!

The Cannon can be a bit longer, though.

Grey Knight · Jan 12, 2016

Nice using the Texture that i sent to you,will i mean the Image of texture that I sent to you last year

JesterKhan · Mar 5, 2016

Damn I love your models, I have played war games and learnt lots about them some of my favorite war games are on the PS2. My favorite would be Conflict Desert Storm.
But yeah this is another sexy model by you. Keep up the good work

HerrDave · Mar 15, 2016

Buggery.

I must have uploaded an older version and not noticed it.

Before I go about adding these attachment points, I must ask you a question.

What are sprite attachment points, and what do they do?

Mechanical Man · Mar 15, 2016

Fire when damaged for example

This. It is where fire emitters will spawn when the structure takes damage ingame.

Faction · Mar 16, 2016

Your artistic style is just amazing, please keep them coming! I think the model is more useful unmanned.

Arad MNK · Mar 30, 2016

Noice!

Mechanical Man · Mar 31, 2016

looks more modern now

HerrDave · Mar 31, 2016

Unfortunately yes. I'm looking for a new texture that looks metal and still blends in with the other human buildings (so mostly white/gray and high contrast)

If you can think of any textures, I'll make the changes.

Mechanical Man · Mar 31, 2016

which human buildings exactly? Original wc3 ones?

HerrDave · Apr 1, 2016

Aye. These models are to look good with the Human Guard Tower and Castle/Keep/Town Hall. This is to make it so that it may be used in civilization maps without losing the wc3 feel, and also to fit with the theme of WotK.

Only trouble is finding a metal texture that isn't dingy or blue.

InfernalTater · Apr 2, 2016

Really cool, and can certainly be useful to many! 4/5.

Hazop · Apr 19, 2018

Will textures be updated to fit the Naval Battery Textures?

HerrDave · Apr 20, 2018

Yep, these are gritty and old

The new model is a touch more refined

The updated version looks much better! But shouldn't the bottom base be wooden/stone? maybe concrete? Similar to your naval battery?

HerrDave · Apr 21, 2018

Would have been, but I have some cold-war ideas for this model

Can't voice them yet because the plan isn't finalized

General Frank · Apr 22, 2018

You need to add a Decay animation as well as proper geoset animation to make the model disappear at the end of the decay animation.

Madison · Apr 22, 2018

The grey colors make it look too modern for a WW1 anti aircraft gun. It should be dark green, or black at least

The reason for the bold colours is so that way it can be used alongside existing WC3 buildings, like Guard Towers and Farms

Will do, one moment
