Airfield (and aircraft!)

[zt2211]

I am making a Command & Conquer map based on the first game relesed by Westwood (Tiberium Dawn). I have found many useful models on WC3search (like the Mammoth Tank model by Illidan(evil)X), but there are still several units in my nearly completed map that have been left with unsuitable WC3 models. Two specific requests that I have are for a model of an Airfield for the Nod Airstrip and a model for the GDI Orca VTOL attack aircraft. Here are pictures of these two as they appear in the game, respectively:

If you have a model or want to create a model that matches these images, please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Thanks for the Airstrip model and the Orca model, Illidan!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I made the GDI Barracks, NOD Airstrip and the Tiberium Refinery years ago..

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Original CC rocked, looking forward to your project!

 

[zt2211]

WOW nice models there, Illidan! Any chance i could get a link?
Oh and thanks for the encouragement, speed. Perhaps I should upload my latest version...

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Will it be a single or multiplayer map?

 

[Mechanical Man]

I would ask you, IllidanEvil, when that Red Alert mod will be released at (least for multiplayer)? It was long time when you have uploaded that RA stuff, which actually seemed finished.

 

[zt2211]

It'll be both single and multiplayer, Speed. Well, kinda. The map isn't a mission-based campaign. It's more like a skirmish map. The version I am currently working on has two predetermined teams of three, one Nod, one GDI. However, I plan to make more maps that are FFA, with side-selection at map initialization. Anyways, the reaon I said that this is both single and multiplayer is because there is an AI in the map. It isn't very good, but it is useful for practice and, in my case, to test game mechanics.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Aww, I were hoping for perhaps a short campaign.

 

[zt2211]

I would make a campaign if I weren't so bad at making up storylines. Maybe in the future...

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Here ya go
Remember to credit me

About the Red Alert "skirmish" Map, It was extremely laggy and slow, so I had to re-create the entire system from scratch.
It's now fully playable over b.net and lan, and I just need to fix a few more bugs before releasing it..

EDIT: Oh, and the texture paths are Textures\

 

[zt2211]

These are PERFECT!
Of course, I'll give you full credit for the models.
Thanks!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Also, maybe you could have use for the Medium Tank, Light Tank, Artillery and APC i made for my Red Alert map? (low quality and low filesize)

 

[zt2211]

Yes! Those look perfect...
Too perfect, perhaps?
I could definitely use the APC and artillery!
(By the way, I just loaded your building models. They're awesome!)

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I must say, all this awesome stuff almost makes me want to make a CC map, ah how I miss the old days

 

[zt2211]

Yeah...CnC rocked.
Still does, too!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Red Alert Vehicles

Still using the "Textures\name.blp" path.

 

[zt2211]

The APC and Artillery look great!
Thanks again, man!
(P.S.: That RA project or yours is pretty awesome)


Here's a list of models that the map needs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Communications Center

-Temple of Nod

-Advanced Communications Center

-MCV

-Chem. Warrior*

*= Has an acceptable model, but it's too frickin' massive

 

[zt2211]

One other unit model/skin is desperately needed: the Construction Yard. Here is an ingame picture of one (it's the structure with the attack cursor on it). This building takes precedence since it's the most important structure in the game.

EDIT: Thanks Illidan(Evil)X for making a great model!

 

[PrinceofIce]

Gosh seeing the Hand of Nod reminded me somewhat of C&C renegade makin me want to play it .

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Meh.. Just had to make it

 

[Mechanical Man]

It is really an exact copy

How will you make the skin? Some of your c&c (ra) models have textures from a blp which is basically screenshot from the game lol. You will use that gdistructures.blp?

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Illidan .. you and that other guy are almost making the same project now? .. wtf ..

 

[zt2211]

Illidan(Evil)X = Master Model maker!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

How will you make the skin? Some of your c&c (ra) models have textures from a blp which is basically screenshot from the game lol. You will use that gdistructures.blp?

I'm creating a new texture for this model.

Illidan(Evil)X = Master Model maker!

Thanks

[SARCASANIUM]it is vary bad i dont like it!!![/SARCASANIUM]

 

[PrinceofIce]

Wow thats great if i made a map(never will happen) I'd go to you for modeling needs immedialty.Looks really good.

 

[zt2211]

Not surprisingly, that model looks GREAT!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Finished the texture and UV wrapping.
(The crane are team-colored)

 

[PrinceofIce]

seems like its gonna be good with not so much detail its gonna lag but jsut enough so its fun.Can't wait for beta.

 

[zt2211]

That ConYard looks great!
Do we have an ETA until completion?

 

[bestpaladinman]

yeah! revive C&C Tiberian Sun!

 

[zt2211]

Actually, this is a map based off of C&C Gold (aka Tiberian Dawn). I chose to make it based off that game for two reasons: a) it was the first Command & Conquer, and b) it's units resemble modern military forces much more closely than any other C&C (except for maybe Generals, but that game didn't really have the same interface as other C&C games).

 

[PrinceofIce]

So has illidan been making more stuff?

 

[zt2211]

Yeah...I think he's in a model-making competition right now, actually. I bet he'll win, too!

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Crap nice illidan, any time we can expect that for public release? Im gonna go play with all your other models..... and maybe you should make a harvestor. C&C dawn had cool harvestors, and zt, meatwagons dont work as harvestors, sry. Any other C&C models you didnt release or I missed?

 

[zt2211]

C&C dawn had cool harvestors, and zt, meatwagons dont work as harvestors, sry.

Tell me about it...
Hopefully I'll find just a few more models. This map is basically complete, with only a couple elements that are not completely finished. That list on the previous page will be updated on a regular basis.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Hey you don't mind if I host it do you? I haven't yet because I wasn't sure so meh...

 

[zt2211]

Go ahead, the map is completely playable. The newest version is here. When the final version is released, the map description will say "v.GOLD" instead of the version number.

 

[PrinceofIce]

i don't want to play it until its finished playing an unfinished map always lets you down....Plus not having a harvestor is jsut crud cause harvestors are extremley important.

Always loved C&C hope this will be cool map.

 

[zt2211]

Well, there IS a harvester, but it has a meat wagon as the model
IF I had a good model for the harvester, that would be great. For now I have to settle with Wc3 models on many units and structures. The map will be complete once I implement the last few options/elements and perform one final sweep for acceptable unit models.

 

[Mechanical Man]

About harvester, I was making a campaign 2 years ago, where I was using harvester to harvest tiberium. But it didn't resulted very good, especially tiberium regrowth.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Well maybe you could talk to Whitehorn about a model and skin I saw that he did... Im not sure if he ever released it hough but heres what it looks like: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=80475&highlight=ore Maybe you should ask him, even though its not really C&C D themed, its cool and not a meat wagon =)

 

[PrinceofIce]

Hes got a point i'd rather have a model that doesn't look like harvester then a meat wagon .I mean lord meat wagons just eh!

 

[zt2211]

The harvester is definitely one of the models I must procure before I can declare the map "Finished!"

 

[PrinceofIce]

ya if i were you I'd ask illidan after the modeling competion is over.

 

[zt2211]

ya if i were you I'd ask illidan after the modeling competion is over.

That's for sure!

 

[PrinceofIce]

I think im gonna vote for him though hes got nice models and hes got a good amount.

 

[zt2211]

Yeah. Quantity + Quality = Superior Work, and that's what Illidan is currently displaying.

 

[zt2211]

Work Nearly Finished

This map's development is coming to an end.
It is just about finihsed. There are three things remaining:
1) 30% of units and structures need models
2) An effective tiberium poisoning trigger
3) A better tiberium refining process (closer to the original one)

I'm currently making a last sweep for models that will last a week or two. If ANYONE has ANY idea or model that could possibly, help, please post a link! The list earlier in this thread will be updated regularily. You will recieve credit for any contribution!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Made out of boredom some days ago.
Still unanimated...
