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

[Uufje]

The last one is awesome ^_^
Merry and Mechy Christmas!

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

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.

:biggrin: yeah, the thing with the timezones is quite tricky. For someone they came early, and for the other too late. I posted them between 0:00-1:00 o'clock in my timezone, because this way everyone can see them even in the early morning.

I was one of those lucky early ones. Being in Pacific Standard Time Rocks!!! I would only have to wait up about 11pm to see a new one. Thanks again for all the wonderful mechs LKO.
If you do make that massive 125 ton mech though, it would probably make sense to change it to either a two legged or another four legged base instead of the awkward 3 legged one. That mech right now looks as if it might as well be an unmovable turret rather than a mech. The legs are too close together and too big for it to move very fast at all. It may as well jump everwhere like a pogo.
I really like the last mech you made LKO it looks awesome. The concept reminds me of those armored personnel carriers that carry mortars. Only this one is massive and heavily armored. I think this calender was a great idea. I hope that you will continue to make shps every so often.

Lol, i can imagine a hyperinteractive jumping mech of doom.

[adarius]

Lmfao that would be hilarious...(LKO I'm gonna PM you)

Lin Kuie Omenae (or whatever) is a good SHP maker, well, you can't say he isn't anyway...

[vOi!king ship]

That's cool.

But why on Earth is the X-mech calender not Spotlighted?!

[Ixith]

That's cool.

But why on Earth is the X-mech calender not Spotlighted?!

The DvD made a news post about it on the new years

but yeah maybe it should go into the spotlighted section?

[IcySon55]

Just a tiny note and add-on to this thread, the "Guerilla" mech is called Bushwacker in the English games.

[Aro]

Has anyone else noticed the large increase in bumped topics?

[Corsair]

I don't really mind it so much on a topic like this, it prevents all these awesome mechs from being buried

But Tiberium Bum is the individual causing all the bumps

[Aro]

True, true...
I Personaly do not understand why this topic has not been spotlighted, i mean, those units are just awesome.
I can not think of any other word to say it, the smaller ones are the best though in my opinion, what d'you think Corsair?

[Corsair]

LKO did seem to add more detail to the smaller mechs (but that may just be because of their small size)

So that's a big plus to me, I can't really say much about the larger mechs because I was never a fan of the larger mechs in Mechwarrior anyway - they are all really well done though (especially the vulture )

So yea, I'm a fan of the smaller to medium mechs (as well as the four legged artillery mech, that one's great!)

I would check in once a day to see what awesome mech LKO was going to add next during Christmas break, and I must say this was one heck of a present

This is my favourite by far, i think it'd look awesome in my little mod project.

But thats all gonna be on hold so i can map for TS:EE.

Anyway, yeah your right, LKO sure knows how to please an SHP hungry crowd, i'd be happy to have LKO as a Tiberium Web secret santa anytime.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

Just a tiny note and add-on to this thread, the "Guerilla" mech is called Bushwacker in the English games.

Door 21
the GDI Guerilla medium Mech
(the english name is Bushwacker
if you want you can rename the shp's and all corresponding names in art.ini and rules.ini to the english name)

stood already there

@ Corsair, Nods Viper
thanks m8s
You're right, Corsair. All mechs nearly had the same amount of details (in the 3dmodel). So just due to the smaller size the small ones seem to have a higher detail level. While we are already talking about that, did you noticed the update on the first post? There are some of the small ones fixed.
The colossus was really a problem for me, because i didn't knew if it would fit in the mechwarrior series and if it would be accepted. I already thought about making the Tarantula in the last second, just to have a full MW list.
But it's good to see that the Mechs are all liked.
Nods Viper, maybe this isn't spotlighted because it makes problems with the various Links to this thread. Also it could be that they simply aren't worth to be spotlighted. I tend to agree the one on PPM, who said that some units miss some kind of AntiAliasing to be really good. In my case it doesn't stands out that much, because i play on 800x600 and this way the units aren't that big, but for someone this could really be a con.

At least for me it's really a pleasure to see that this thread already has over 3600 views. :biggrin:
(even if i think that 500+ are from me )

btw Viper, the bump goes on icyson's cap and not tiberium bum(p). But i noticed him too.
Anyway new members always tend to bump, so i forgive them (if they stop after a while).

@LKO:

I tried what Judeau said, I it does give a better result, but still I got a very little small black outline in some places, not a lot; but it might be the result of a mistake by my part; also I got a shadow error. But nothing that wasn't a small fix; I'll send you a PM latter with the results.

BTW, my favourite is the Daishi in GDI colors, but I also like a lot of the others.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

i'll try this tool too, next time i create a unit. btw i found out that you can turn off in customize/preferences/rendering the antialiasing with the background. But for that to work you have to delete the plane i used for the shadows.
The Daishi was rendered twice. I copied the cockpit from an antialiased version into the non-AA version. Maybe this is the reason this one became so good.

I thought something was different, but I figured it was just me thinking I was noticing something

[Tartan Bunny]

!!! do you have a life !!! that is crazy. all of them are excellent, though. you should do a mod of just all mechs (if you havent already).

[vOi!king ship]

Yes, he has a life. He makes beautiful pieces of art. Do you have a life?

And, why isn't this spotlighted yet?

[Corsair]

!!! do you have a life !!! that is crazy

Yes, he has a life, this was his Christmas present to us at Tiberiumweb

you should do a mod of just all mechs (if you havent already).

And you are only stating what everyone else has said, I would have thought you would have known that from all the bumps you have done on other topics

[Aro]

Yeah too damn right LKO has a life, he sure knows how to make some awesome peices of art.
Oh and Tiberium bum'p', stop bumping topics, please.
Yeah the smaller one called the Jenner i beleive is different, but i didn't notice a massive change in it.

[Rico]

I get a weird bug, the colossus (the 6 leged Juggernaught replacement) seems to overlay 2 images at once when it turns certain ways (eg the down and SW direction images). I have copied ur art and rules.ini entries as you typed them and the bug is there. Any suggestions?
