vxl and hva you can simple add into the tiberian sun folder. But all calender-units are SHP! they need to be inserted in a ecacheXX.mix file where XX is an unused number. To insert the shp files in a mix file you need the "XCC Mix Editor" that is part of the XCC-Utilities.

Merry almost christmas! i got you a gift! Daishig FLH's!!!

PrimaryFireFLH=30,110,190
SecondaryFireFLH=30,-110,190

[adarius]

Thx for the explanation LKO but I figured it all out by myself last night. Though I didn't know you could just put the VXL and HVA in the folder....I put those in the echache as well. w00t calender is almost done and I love all of these. But it being finished also means no more on the calender T.T

Question: Would you consider doing a special release Mech for Christmas Day? If so, can I PM you the Mech's name to make sure you havn't made it? Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise if you decide to do this! ^.^

1) If you havn't already made it.
and
2) If you would have the time.

Edit: I'm gonna send you the PM anyways so if you do wanna make it, you'll at least have some time and don't have to wait for me to get home from school.

Door 21: The bushwacker! Awsome! Just what I needed for one of my mods. MEGA THANKS!

Door22: Hmm... I'm not familiar with this one but looks good.

Double release days Sweetness! There is no way I could make anything like these when it comes to .shp files very well done.

Constructive critisism: The supernova Mech Is quite nice, however were the legs realy that square? I just can't remember very well.

Most of what I've learned about the battletech universe I learned from this website. warhawk ppc I hope it is of some use to some of you out there.

added to the list. thanks for finding them out.

i've got your PM, but i dont made this mech, sorry. The Christmas Mech is my very own Design and isn't any of the Mechs known from Mechwarrior.
The time to create the mech you've sent me is to short, so i can not finish it for christmas eve.

Door 21: The bushwacker! Awsome! Just what I needed for one of my mods. MEGA THANKS!

I didn't knew that this one has a different name too. I thought Guerilla is international.

Door22: Hmm... I'm not familiar with this one but looks good.

in my MW3 manual it is described as a 60tons Mech from the inner sphere
Champion picture

Constructive critisism: The supernova Mech Is quite nice, however were the legs realy that square? I just can't remember very well.

i only used the pictures from my MW3 Manual and there they were that square.

I didn't mean it for christmas Eve, but for the actual day OF christmas. It's ok though, 2 days is a really short work time. Maybe you can make this another time though??

The "Black Hawk" looks very similar to a mech I know of by the name "Nova Cat". Maybe there is a name difference???

The "Black Hawk" looks very similar to a mech I know of by the name "Nova Cat". Maybe there is a name difference???

The Nova/black hawk, Super nova & nova cat Are three differant mechs with two similarities:
1.they're all eneregy based weapon mechs. The nova & supernova Are laser boat mechs, where as the nova cat focusess on PPC's (particle projetion cannon)

2.they're all clan mechs.

here is a pic. of a Vulture, Nova Cat, & Bushwacker by the way. Also a Black hawk cut out pic. Found it at Warhawk PPC. ( I'm just trying to share what I have learned my self so far so no offence intended)



*Looks at severall other pictures of Super nova* My Mistake LKO the supernova does have square legs after all. It's been a wile since I looked at one I guess. So the champion Is star leage tech eh? go figure.. thats probly why I didn't rconize it. But I'm still learning about Battle Tech myself anyways. Started almost 2 years ago now & between Four to six years on C&C. Can't wait to see what's behind the last two doors.

If you ever decide to do Infantry .shp such as battle armor, let me know & I'll send you what ever pitures I have &/or can find.

no problem. perhaps they are much more detailed but no picture shows the legs this way. (remember the difference between the MadCat on the MW3 manual cover and inside; round legs on the cover and square one inside)
btw: here are all mechs shown i used for the calender

i dont have a clue about Battletech at all, except what is shown in MW3.

i already thought about that, but when i look on my smallest mechs, i think a battle armor is so small that you cant see any detail; only some spinning pixel.

The final mech is awaited with anticipation... What will it be?

Oh... and Warhawk PPC is a very good site, been there a few times to gather inspiration for my own mech designs

One more thing, here is me in MechWarrior Pirates Moon, just having owned a couple of Annihilators (100 tons) in a Strider (40 tons)!

[Vintriaz]

It's ok LKO I started off with MW4 & became a bit obsesed with it. but i have no regrets.
I understand the difficulty of making .shp & hadd little to no sucess myself mainly due to my lack of skill & patience. so I tip my hat to you.

This is a bitmap image my work so far mostly a cut & paste & resize for a laser repair bay but I managed to make a rapair anamation for it.(like I said, this is just a .bmp image of the 3 part .shp)
 lancil_repair_bay.bmp ( 120.29K ) Number of downloads: 447


El_Serpiente: beautiful just beautiful That's grand news, One question though, AI opponets or or other people? either way I'm certain it was a chalenge.

now back on subject ( I think... ) The fire fly, neat little mech that I never paid much heed to it in the past though.

Here are the possible Mechs remaining...

1. Avatar
2. Orion
3. Owens (Dang...it does look like the jenner...)
4. Puma
5. Shadow Cat
6. Strider

I wonder which it shall be. =)

Edit: Oh dear lord! D= Vintriaz, please don't use the Obelisk in that. The base looks fine I guess....but try to make it look more like an actual Mech repair bay. The only one I'm familiar with is the one from MW4, the red one that looked like a bunch of scaffolding. It desn't have to have opening and closing door, but something similar to it might look alot better....really.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

The Christmas Mech is my very own Design and isn't any of the Mechs known from Mechwarrior.

sorry adarius, none of them is the christmas mech. and the owens is already in the list, i only called him Jenner, because i dont like the name owens. :biggrin: (and both look very similar)
So definitely the Avatar (ugly in my opinion),Orion (too rusty),Puma (behemoth already made),Shadow Cat (ugly too) and Strider (ugly and too small) wont be in the calender.

That's great you made the choice to eliminate those ugly pieces of junk. I especially hate the Strider and Orion. Both were made to make other unispiring designs in the Mechwarrior universe look good. There arer plenty of others to dislike such as: the Urbanmech, Firemoth, Mandrill and Bloodkite......................etc.

I'm looking forward to your final mech choice. I have really liked your personally built mechs so far.

[Corsair]

Shadow Cat (ugly too)

Ah... I thought the Shadow Cat was all right :(

[Vintriaz]

Without a doupt the avatar is hideous & an insult to all mad dog(vulture) pilots out there. So I support the choice to not make this monstrosity. However, I feel the shadowcat is a personal opinion. I personally like it. I'm not bothered by your decision on it either.




Also, ever since I saw this calender posted, I've been considering making this 125 ton Collosal class Ares mech as a voxel. What do you guys think?( I figure That if I do, It'll be as big or larger than the core defender.)

Man, This calender Is becoming an art gallery as well. LOL. What a world...

[harv]

HOLY JESUS! I LOVE YOU LKO

that is truly an amazing mech of monumental proportions


100 / 10

you truly are the best shper around

that is a very cool mech . But i wonder how this would walk with 3 legs?
that is truly one of those mech designs i also would consider to make them later as a stand-alone project.

thank you and all other for your good comments that approved that this calender was worth its work.

HOLY JESUS! I LOVE YOU LKO

but i wont marry you. :biggrin:

Ah... I thought the Shadow Cat was all right :(

if you and some other think that there are mechs that really must be done, i think we could talk about a thread in the Graphics Fridge where all wishes get listet and we see if i (or an other shp'ler) should make some of them. But for now, i'll have a free Christmas Time :biggrin:

WOW!! FLAMING PIDGIONS OF FIRE & FURY!!! THAT IS AWSOME!!! MAGNIFICANT 24 Lin Kuei Ominae. JUST ABSOLUTLY BREATH TAKING! ICING ON THE TURKEY!!! I LOVE IT! :biggrin:

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU & ALL OF YOUR KIN!!

[Ixith]

NICE! seriously that is freakin awesome!

i love that pic showing all of the mechs in TS plus yours its great.

i may have to put some of these ingame and try them out myself sometime soon :biggrin:

[Darentei]

Merry christmas! Thanks for all the wonderful gifts thingies...

[Denmon]

LKO, your 3D skills are above awsome! Yay, i was hopeing for a four legged mech and for a deployable mech and now i get both in one! awsome! Mechy Christmas!

[adarius]

There are plenty of others to dislike such as: the Urbanmech, Firemoth, Mandrill and Bloodkite......................etc.

Damn....that hurts. The firemoth is one of my personal favorites just because I can kick the sh** out of the 100+ ton mechs with it and others can barely take out another light mech. =D

on-topic: Grrr....I'm ripping my eyeballs and hair out trying to contain myself until the last mech comes out! I just can't wait to see your mech concept. I bet it rawks.

Edit: Oh, and LKO, I wanna talk to you about the mech I sent you in the PM then. Cause I think that Mech desperately deserves a voxeling.

Wow LKO, those are all incredible and that is a very nice changeup on door 24

Merry Christmas!

[adarius]

A very Mechy Christmas to all, and to all.....blow some stuff up with these things already! =D

[Creagor]

Now that its finished, I'm starting to miss your work allready :( . Exellent work with all of them, keep up the good work.

*resists urge to say "mechy christmas"*

Mechy Christmas!

*darn it...*

[adarius]

Well....luckily, the only thing that's finished is the Xmas Calender. We'll still be able to see his normal work! =D

[Team Black]

LKO INCREDIBLE conclusion to the mech-calander! a 4 leg deploing artillery mech!!!

[adarius]

I just noticed something....All of his Mechs are posted at about 5-6pm (for me) on the day before the door #. This might not be true to LKO, he might have posted them in the morning where ever he lives. Just thought I would share that with you guys.
