Hello and Mechy äh Merry Christmas.

Only few days till it's December and so i decided we need a X-mas Calendar. Every day from the first till the 24th December hides a unit behind a door and every day i will open a door.
So i hope you like this idea and of course the SHP-units i will offer you this way.

Each of the following threads is for one of the 24 days and holds one unit for you.

Use the units like you want, but credit me if you use one or more in your mod.

Nothing more to say, except wishing you all a good Christmas Time.

\EDIT
the calendar is complete, so here now all units as a big package.
Preview of all Mechs:

In the zip is an art.ini and rules.ini showing some example code allowing GDI to build all units, the Nod units too.
Also included is an ecache07.mix file that contains all shp's.

\EDIT
Update

i found some small errors,things i disliked and corrected them
-these are the fireanims: those were played backwards ingame. (fixed for JENNN/JENNG, BHAWKN/BHAWKG)
-the walk anims for the small mechs jenner and firefly: those were not very "round" and the duration a foot was on the ground was to short (only3 frames long a foot was on the ground) (fixed for JENNN/JENNG, FIREFLYN/FIREFLYG)
-the jenner model also had a slightly bigger missilepack on the left side compared to the right one: now fixed to symmetrical size
Old Jenner: new:
the art.ini entrys remain the same.

i've also added an art.ini showing now for all Mechs the correct FireFLH's for primary, secondary and on some even tertiary that is not used (TS doesn't allows third weapons), but shows where the weapon should be if implemented (think on ETS)
sorry denmon and corsair, but i have to say that yours were total off.
-the FLH's for the Colossus are still a bit off, due to the fact that the turret centre isn't in the centre of the building, and turretoffset doesn't work for buildings. For a quite good solution take a look on the code example at the colossus post here (the 24th christmas eve post) (PBarrelLength=224,TurretNotExportedOnGround=yes and TurretOffset=-32 tags removed)

Door 24 Christmas Eve
the GDI/Nod Colossus heavy Artillery
The Colossus is a big and well protected artillery mech that uses a twin artillery turret to destroy enemys on a long range. But like the Jugger it needs to deploy.

The units design was originally taken for a GDI unit, thus having the Titan similar headlights, but i decided to make a Nod version too, so both sides can have this new unit.
The unit has an active animation while deployed and a shp-turret. I haven't made the barrels as a voxel like the Jugger because i'm not good in making voxels look like shp. Thats why the shp barrels are fixed to 45°. If someone makes voxel barrels, i would make an extra turret without the shp barrels.
I hope you still like this unit and of course...
Merry Christmas and my best wishes to you all.
