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.

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

LKO, could you do me one last favour? Remove the eyes and colour its face to use the brick colour from the TS palette? As an alternate version. Please? Thanks yet again for making this unit! You pwn!

Oh yea, heres an alternate cameo with blue remaps, fit for CABAL.

i dont know what kind of color you mean with brick color.
can you explain it more, like telling the palette color number, which are shown in the shp-builder.
do you mean the red nonremap colors with numbers from 96 to 111
or the grey palette
or the (brick) clay colors (128-159)?

btw cool cabal cameo. after i've seen the original reaper icon i also thought about making a new better one, with a closer view.

96 - 111

[Uufje]

Ontopic: the Redeemer looks nice. I love the death anim ^_^

[El_Serpiente]

wow. Just wow. It does fullfil the look of a heavy reaper though

[harv]

nice, lko make a new mech for gdi that could replace the titan

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

96 - 111

tested and the first attempt failed.
while palette conversion it mixed up the remap red with the these red colors.
because i haven't much time now, i think the next try i'll make at the weekend. (i have already a good idea how this could work)

If you have a good idea how this should work and can improve the possible tactics for GDI, ok. But it should be something special.

This is not Spotlighted yet?

LKO, do you never rest? Why don't you start work on your own mod? It'll be done in a few months if you work like this

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

because i dont want to make a mod. i dont have any concept for it. it would be just a unit replacement and this way nothing special. in addition, i changed my TS in a way so i dont know if this mod would work on other systems too. (i even changed some original files like expand01.mix,scores.mix etc; those are to big to share)

Ah, well, it was just a thought.

[Blacksilence]

a shp unit kind of like the titan, with i dunno, um a missile pod in each arm, and make it taller than the titan

Ok, cool

yeah really. spotlight this thing already

its VERY nice LKO. seriously i love your skills.

already in progress, but no replacement, more a supporting unit for the titan. for that, i already got a concept/sketch from corsair, whom you sure remember for his very good drawings in the graphics fridge.

[Team Black]

superb. ten being best, I give it 20/10

say LKO what program do you use to make the 3Ds?
It's probably so much esier to make an shp using a 3d model like you are...
What would you reccomend?

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

i use 3dsmax6. but the newest version is very expensive. i had the luck to buy my full version for only 50€ from a company that bought a newer version.

That i must see :biggrin:

[harv]

i agree

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

both corsairs sketch (if he agrees) and the finished unit will be shown, as soon as the unit is finished.

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...?

Awesomeeeeee!

[vOi!king ship]

FFS, this still isn't spotlighted?

[Crash]

FFS, this still isn't spotlighted?

The moderators and admins are too lazy I gues... xD. Anyways; This one deserves indeed a spotlight.... Time to ask some mods or admins to look on this topic

[Ixith]

well as far as i see it is spotlighted i guess that happened afterwards though.
i always loved this one thing it just looks great.

[Tartan Bunny]

The head looks a bit big, but i luv the death frames.
I think we should just spotlight him altogether, his mechs are bloddy brilliant!
yer, i have been away so long
OMG, 100 posts!

[andy302]

hey erm if ur not busy could you put the fixed rules and art in for the first one?

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

which fixed rules and art? The one in the zip work fine.
Only the FLH's in the zip for the deployed redeemer are a bit wrong, so you better use the one, written in the first post.

@all: thanks for the good comments.
