X-Mech Calendar (+Update), my Christmas Calendar for you Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

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)

me too
i never knew the story why i was fighting. the most important thing for me to know was,
whats my target and how much weapons can i mount on my mech.

I was the same way. All I cared about was how many PPCs I could mount on a mech. The story was just one of stupid bravado, greed and paranoia. I really like the mechs so far. It doesn't make sense for anyone to be complaining about re-colors. We are blessed to have someone actually care enough to make mechs for our use. The Daishi and Mad Cat will really work well in Tiberian Sun, since we can only mount two weapons on a mech at a time.

thanks

But only as long as the ETS mod isnt ready. Then we can have Third and Quaternary weapons and this way Mechs with Rockets,Cannons,MGs and Laser at the same time.

Dude I'm the 1000th viewer on this post!

cool even if i think that those are mostly the same people. :biggrin:

are ALL these mechs going to be mechwarrior mechs then?

not all, but the most of them.

W000000t Thanks for making my all time favorite Mech

I mean , unbelievable man



In case anyone doesn't want to find out/can't figure out, I just figured I would post FLH's for the Vulture/Mad Dog - My FLH's work pretty well, may need to be tweaked into position a little more though

--Vulture--
PrimaryFireFLH=0,125,125 (I used machine guns)
SecondaryFireFLH=0,100,200 (I used longe-range Hovermissiles)

now he had is mech I WANT MINE SANTA

wait patiently, Santa has to deliver many mechs to many Houses. :biggrin:

I have a question, that perhaps someone can answer me.
Where is the difference between the Timberwolf and the Mad Cat, i only wanted to know? Do they only changed the name or are they 2 different mechs looking almost the same?

btw. Corsair, nice Avatar.

The Timberwolf is the Clan name for the mech. Named such by Clan Wolf.

The Madcat is the Inner Sphere name for the mech. It is named this way because, according to the tale, the Inner Sphere targeting systems couldn't decide if it was a Marauder or a Catapult when trying to classify it, so the MechWarriors started calling them Madcats.

Battletech lifted some mechs from Robotech. In Robotech there was a mech called the Glaug Battle Pod which was called the Marauder in Battletech.

In later versions of Mechwarrior like Mech Assault 2 for the XBOX it refers to different variants of the same mech. The only difference between the two is the weapons they mount. The Mad Cat is armed with dual PPCs as its primary weapon, while the Timber Wolf has dual Gauss Rifles.
