Nod Redeemer (4 legged heavy Cyborg), concept by Denmon0728 Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

Hi

Let me be the first, who offers a new unit this year. :biggrin:
The concept and the idea of this heavier reaper version was made by Denmon0728. He decided how this unit should work and planned it to be a replacement for the Tick Tank. I liked the idea and the concept so i made the 3dmodel and finally the unit.

The Redeemer
Its a heavy 4 legged mech that was planned to look a bit like a heavy armored version of the Reaper.
It uses a heavy AutoCannon on its right arm. This weapon has 3 barrels and after the top level barrel has shot, all 3 barrels turn like a minigun for 120° so the next barrel is on top. This is shown in the ingame fireanim too.
The unit has on its left arm a big shield for a better protection. So i would recommend a high amount of hitpoints/armor if you use it.
And on its back is a big cannon that can only be used after it has deployed.
Walkanim:
It also has a death anim:

The unit also can deploy:
For that it uses his four legs like jackhammers to burrow into the ground. After that the big cannon mounted on his back comes to the side while the shield lowers to make room for the cannon and to be a solid tray for it.

\EDIT
sorry the FLH's for the deployed redeemer aren't correct, use instead the following

CODE

[DREDE]
PrimaryFireFLH=175,75,55;Cannon
SecondaryFireFLH=150,-90,60;MG

a big render to show the details:

head part recolored in gdi gold. sorry denmon, but i hadn't the time to recolor it in shp-builder to your brick red, so this is up to you. Because the mech has nowhere else gdi colors it should be very simple to recolor the specified part. This way you can also define how dark the part should become.
drede.shp (building ground part) can still be used from the original, because it has no head that needs to be recolored.
drede_a.shp (the building turret) has the same brightness like all other parts, but ingame it could be shown much darker than the rest. I dont know why, but buildings are drawn darker than units (even if the raw shp-frames have the same brightness) and the extralight command in art.ini (that makes the building as bright as the unit) only effects the building body, not the turret. So you have to make it manually brighter than it is. If you cant get i'll do this for you too, but maybe you get it. (i've set gamma correction in Irfanview on 1.20 and applied this on all turret pics, maybe this is the reason why the turret from the first download still doesn't really looks as bright as the unit)

Does anyone know how the extralight= command in art.ini works? Is it a Brightness adjustment,Gamma correction,Saturation or even contrast or...?
