OK our voxel forum is looking pitiful, time to put some new stuff in here

First off I have Ixith to thank for giving me the ridiculous idea to make these hot air balloons in the first place rolleyes.gif

This is my 15th voxel (if you don't count the multiple versions that I made)
And yea, these took a LOT of work to make, as round voxels are a big pain in the rear. Spotlight would be greatly appreciated wink.gif

EVA report:
Hot air balloons can be incredibly strategical units.
since they don't use any sort of mechanical engines, they are practically un-touchable by surace-to-air equipment, save for the Firestorm Defense system.
Unfortunately, they have no on board, so they can't reveal shroud, and they only have room enough for a few infantry.
Despite these disadvantages, you might find hot air balloons to be fairly useful
(the code for this is contained in the README file wink1.gif )

The concept:

The 3D views:

(I changed the remap to colors for this pic - you can see where the remap is, though, based on the ingame shots as well)

and the ingamers:

Nice TB, very nice, I like it a lot.

This voxel deserves a spotlight, I like the Nod and GDI icon too.

agree, spotlight
now make a zeppelin wink1.gif
(too bad TS doesn't has the amount of Normals as RA2)
Just an Idea: because Balloons don't turn you could make them as SHPs like the limpetmine. Then the shading could be done much smoother.

Super cool.
Pretty strange. Hot air balloons with a logo.
Only the remap might look odd ingame. Maybe.
Team Black, good job.
Love the colors.
I've no idea where it can be used for. The idea is fine, but... It is too weak for a carry all. (mkII? tongue.gif) Weapon on a balloon? Scout? uhhm. Dropping inf. Maybe
Good, realy good.
Hell, yea. It's good.
Time to... eat?

As I said before; when you showed me GDI and Nod ballons; they're quite cool, it's nice to see you releasing them, also the two civilian versions are really cool tongue.gif

My guess is that they would be better as infantry Shps, since then, they could use jumpjet logic, however you would need to give the ballons "hovering" walking frames tongue.gif
BTW I don't think that the limpet mines could be used, AFAIK, aircraft can't be shp.

the way I coded it, it's actually a vehicle, that flies - which is the other functional alternative to the carryall=yes air transport.
This technique also allows hva animation, shp support, and turret support (why aircraft would use turrets though, is beyond me... )

The only problems though is that it becomes invincible during flight (except against firestorm defense), and it can't reveal shroud -

Thanks for all the comments so far, It took some trouble to get these to look right biggrin.gif

LOL, I was thinking, can you make a voxel debris for that? Like a deflated air balloon and give the air balloon 1 debris max and that'd be wicked.

Yea, if you went and simply doubled its size it would probably be spot on

But, I think its fine as it is Mr. Z

Well I think that the balloons deserve the spotlight, as they're really impressive, such an amount of work, by only that reason I would spotlight it, however, I would be ignoring other reasons, like originality.
