Square Scout Tower

[Gausslander]

I want to make a Heavy Defense Tower building for my upcoming classical RTS map, but the rounded scout tower sort of ruins the flow for it. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to make an edit and make it a square, four-sided structure instead, same roof and all, just square walls. Fitting icon would be a nice bonus.

Would you like a side of square cannon, guard, and arcane with your mashed scout towers?

 

[Gausslander]

Yes please

 

[InfernalTater]

Ouch, that's gonne be kinda annoying. Normally I'd isolate one part of it to move the vertices. Moving the vertices of a dozen geosets will take a bit of time. I'll work on tomorrow most likely.
This is not made by me, but you might want it instead?

Found it looking around hive.

 

[Gausslander]

Yeah, that doesn't have team-colour or the general look of the towers I requested be edited. If anyone is willing to do it, I will credit them in my map.

 

[InfernalTater]

Like I said, that one wasn't made by me, I was simply figuring out if that one would be okay before I wasted my time making one. Now that I know you don't want that one, I'll work on making one.

 

[Gausslander]

I knew you didn't create it, regardless it doesn't really suite my needs. And thank you.

 

[InfernalTater]

Also, would someone isolate the Scout Tower for me. It's such a pain in the ass because there are 30 geosets >.<
I could take the time to isolate it myself, but I'm too lazy. So if someone else would isolate the Scout Tower, and then pastebin it, that'd be great. Then I'll get to work on changing it. If nobody pastebins soon I'll just go ahead and isolate it myself.

 

[Gausslander]

Don't bother isolating it, just make them all have square walls, infact, it'd look a lot better if the walls were in a hexagon shape like the turret, and it'd make more sense too.

 

[InfernalTater]

Wait... So you want me to change it from 8-sided to 6-sided? Sounds like a waste of time to me, that is a barely noticable change that takes a lot of time to do. Even takes more time than making 4-sided, because with 4-sided I can at least use symetrical corners, with a hexagon I'll have to eye-measure it >.<

 

[Gausslander]

Oops! Yeah keep it 8-sided my bad.

 

[InfernalTater]

Well if I keep it 8-sided then what do you want me to change?

 

[Gausslander]

I don't like that slope before the turret. You know, I want the whole thing to be the solid.

 

[InfernalTater]

there isn't a turret on the scout tower. in fact, there aren't turrets on any of the towers.

 

[Gausslander]

Really? The top of the tower, notice how it's bigger than the base, because the base slopes in like a cone... I don't want it to be a cone, I want the whole thing to be one stable solid structure...


Here, I'll give you an example | | that doesn't slope /\ that does.

 

[InfernalTater]

That isn't a turret, don't you know what a turret is?
A turret is an attached weapon capable of rotating.

 

[Gausslander]

Great. Can you do it?

 

[InfernalTater]

Yes, easily. I'm actually working on a model of my own at the moment, but, after I finish this model (and the one after that) I will make your tower.
Don't worry, I'm almost done with the one I'm working on, and the second one is almost the same thing. If I don't start yours tonight, I'll definately start it tomorrow.
Sorry for post-poning so much!

 

[Gausslander]

Its cool. Thanks in advance.
