A Design Request, Mutant Buildings Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

First only as an inspiration for other mutant buildings, since i don't want to make a complete side (barracks and warfactory first) i don't think i'll make it (or better said: not in the near future). But i'm quite sure that i'll never make a RA2 building, sorry.

Right now i'm still collecting ideas and concepts. I hope it's ok for you and the other artists, that i first try to get some concepts before actually starting to make them. Also i won't follow the sketches in an exact way. The final result will be more a mixture of all ideas/concepts, where i try to pick out the best ideas of all concepts and put them into one.

Ah, that makes perfect sence.

Though it's a real shame you don't mod RA2. With RP2 and all...the possibilities of modding...are limitless! Not to mention TS things are easy as pie to implement.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

if there would be a TC mod, that really adds all features of TS to RA2 (campaign, movies, maps, firestorm defense etc), then i would make stuff for RA2 too (and i would enjoy it due to the higher possible detail).
But it is a game for little children in my eyes. Cartoonish ingame units/buildings, embarrassing movie characters (the soviet prime minister and the ami president; maybe it's just the german synchronisation) and the total dilettantish enhanced TS game from EA that they call RA2. It loads maps slower, requires registry entries to work and has tons of files left over from TS. I guess RA2 could be half the size if there would be only the stuff needed in the mix and it would load 2 times faster. (sorry but i get offtopic )
Ok there are some positive things too : Kari Wuhrer is one of them.

Finally it's only the engine and the additional features that i want, nothing more.

Well, RP2 is bringing bacl a lot of those things. So is the NPatch, but RP2 is virtually bugfree.
Also, such a mod is in the making. You might even wish to assist, no? A perfect remake, just with much bigger detail... PM me. Or do you have MSN / Skype / ICQ?

Oh, and yes. Kari Wuhrer makes me want to play those videos over and over again

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

no, sorry. It would be too much work for me (i stay at my little TS projects). Also i don't want to make the stuff that actually would be EAs work. And i prefer PMs btw.

I know, last offtopic - but how can you call all those magnificent SHPs and voxels small projects? And the buildings as well. I mean, you make one of the most difficult art to make and you make it great. This is certainly not small modding.

I read a while ago that the mutants in TS were going to have scrapped technology from both Nod and GDI, which they had altered to their own use.

Say, the Nod gun turret from TD era. It would be a good defense unit for the mutants, because it is a leftover from Nod, and it is a basic, low-tech defensive structure. Just make it look like it's made up from scattered metal plates and pieces

Also, TD era Communications center, left over from both GDI and Nod, it could be mutants radar center, with a few "tweaks".

My point is that many of the TD era technology could be now in the hands of the mutants. In TS, you can find many of the abandoned TD-era structures. They would be easily captured and re-used by mutant forces.

overall it maybe looks like one big project, but every single shp/vxl doesn't took very long and is then done. I prefer many small projects that i can finish quite fast, than a big huge project where i can't see an end.
oh, and thanks that you like my modding stuff.

@Omen
a good idea. Maybe the artists can bring in the TD style into their sketches. But i don't want a complete copy/remake of them, because i converted already all TD buildings to TS. In stand alone campaign missions where you have an engineer and find an old TD conyard you can build up an entire TD Base. (e.g. FS Nod mission where you have to run away from Cabal)

Maybe they are a bit bright, but it's also a bright map. (I haven't changed anything on them)

well corsairs building looks a lot like the TD commcenter

[Team Black]

Heh, that reminds me of my first mod XD

It was actually just a rules.ini + art.ini mod where mutants used the GAOLDCC buildings, CAARMR for barracks, and CARRAY for radar, and had tiberium life and hidden vehicles (MLRS etc) as their army..
I never could get the third faction to work though, obviously, but I enabled all the forgotten units to both gdi and nod by building the "old MCV" and deploying it into GAOLDCC1..

I posted the mod here if you want to give it a run XD

[CommanderSpartan]

THOSE TD BUILDINGS KICKASS!!! THEY LOOK BETTER THAN THOSE IN THE TD MODS!!! are you gonna release them?

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

i didn't planned to release them, since everyone with TD can convert them too.

btw are there actually some artists drawing some concepts? (to come back on topic )
I really would like to see some barrack concepts.

I'll see if I can put together a barracks for ya tonight..

BTW also in your TD minimod, you might want to use the original TD inantry as well.. TS infs are honkin HUGE compared to TD buildings

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

you can take up time for the concept, i only wanted to bring the topic back on (subtle isn't it ).

This is not a seperate TD minimod, it's together with all other stuff i made (e.g. the mechs). I made it only for those few missions with a TD conyard, to give an extra strategy to solve those missions. So it would be even more strange if there are tiny TD infantrymen among big TS ones.

I really would like to see some barrack concepts.

I'll work on getting you some soon enough
