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

[Ixith]

i must say all of those look very nice so far. although seeing a mech for nod is kinda different. but i like them. i also like how that the 2 Nod mechs youv already revealed both have the same colors used and make them fit with each other. very nice. ^_^

i seriously think you could make your own mech mod really easily as you are very good at making mechs and youv got a lot already and it seems you are very handy with the ini files to.

i like what youv revealed so far and i think i will be pleased with what is to come in the days to come to. Keep up the good work

wow the nod mech is incredible..it actully looks like Nod style, not just GDI w nod colors...
There's ONE puny imperfection though, and that is that the selection square is a little off kilter lowish...might need a slight hva adjustment.

One mech I think you should REALLY do is the Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker...to follow up on yer Millenium Falcon

Unless hes some kind of machine..Im betting most are premade

[Tore]

cool idea to base the mechs of Mechwarrior
is there a chance that the mad cat is coming...... :biggrin:

[Denmon]

I'm sorry to say that i dislike the two Nod mechs so far :(

[harv]

i like um but its hard to make mechs look good in a nod army :(

[Yggdrasil]

nice shps, they look really good. the splitter is called a sunder in the english mechwarrior from the looks of it. looking forward to the rest of them.

[cdmt]

Yggdrasil is right about the name. It is definitely the Sunder Mech. Sunder means in English: break apart or in two, using violence. Another good mech. At this rate we might have enough for someone to make a great mechwarrior mod.

these are shp units, so they have no hva. to move them higher you have to edit all the frames of the shp file and move the unit some pixel upwards,
but i think it is ok. because if i move it more upwards i think the player can not select it very good. you click on the main body but nothing happens due to the fact that only the legs are in the cell and the main body goes upwards into the next cell where you cant select it.
but if more people think it is wrong, we can speak about modifications after the calender is complete. (lets say next year, for having some vacations :biggrin: )

hmm, sorry that is not in my list. maybe i make it later as a standalone unit.
to bad that we cant set the turrets max turning angle, else i could imagine to make the head/cockpit as a turret for that too, that turns only for 10 or 20° to left and right. (like in SW force commander)

is there a chance that the mad cat is coming...... :biggrin:

can you look into the future? :blink: :biggrin: my plan was to reveal the madcat on the 4th door.
so nobody should assume i here on wishes, my plan is fixed and stands already for all days untill the 24th.

I'm sorry to say that i dislike the two Nod mechs so far :(

to make it right for everyone is impossible, and negative opinions belong with it.
but i dare to say, that there are coming some units you do like more. i do have just started the calender.

thanks, name changed.
only to make sure here a pic from my manual

Ha, I signed on about the same time I saw you in Finished SHPs and I said "w00t new mech!"

Your Mad Cat looks pretty good, really good with the uniform yellow look, although I don't like it's remap locations as much as the previous mechs

That would be my only gripe is the remap on the cockpit

wow i do love the mad cat mech, i wonder whats comming tomorrow. i can't wait

[Corsair]

Welcome to Tiberiumweb Harv and Tony :biggrin:

(Sorry I didn't welcome y'all before I didn't see your posts)

[harv]

iv been her just havnt joind

[Corsair]

The coloring on the Nod Jenner looks really nice

[Tobiasboon46]

Hunchback from Mech commander 2,that's my X-mas wish!!

[harv]

you just recolored the first two :(

[Tobiasboon46]

Right,really disappointed!!!

[harv]

agreed

[Ixith]

:confused: that kinda disappoints me that you just recolored 2 of the earlier ones for the opposite side.

but then again i can see that you are probably overloaded with work still id think. i just hope that there arent too many recolorings like such.

but i must say the recolorings do look nice to good job.

cant wait to see the new ones

[Denmon]

Duh, i kinda guessed this beacuse 24 mechs are ALOTS of mechs. Still smart though ^_^

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

there were a few reasons for that
1. i haven't enough mechs in the manual from my MW3 game (and to find pictures from all sides of a specific mech isn't easy)
2. i didn't knew which mech i should have made for each side. (to prevent people coming and say, no this mech isn't good for Nod please make it for GDI again and vice versa)
3. it reduces the amount of work (one 3dmodel with 2 different textures)
4. there are still more then 12 different units.

At least i think it is the whole calender that counts and not each unit alone.

Yea, I don't mind the recolored mech's

The new GDI themed Thor looks as good as the other in my opinion

[Tobiasboon46]

Ahhhh...watching Mad Cat makes me remind of a SEGA Genesis/Megadrive
Mechwarrior game called Battlemech,ahhhh(<-pleasure,not pain!)!!!
Me commanding torso turret,and my brother comanding legs!!
He didn't know how to move or play!!!
By FASA!!!Not by Microsoft!

[Corsair]

Yea... I'm sad to say I didn't really get into Mechwarrior until Mechwarrior 4, although I did play MW3 a little here and there

Still... fun times :biggrin:

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

me too
i never knew the story why i was fighting. the most important thing for me to know was,
whats my target and how much weapons can i mount on my mech. :biggrin:

[harv]

wow... that new one is pretty cool.. but i must say its still my least favorite so far ... but still VERY good

[Yggdrasil]

yep the annihilator is the correct name. may be kinda sad but i have mechwarrior 3 and 4 (including mercs)
and have played mechwarrior 2 mercs. if you want ill post the english names of any mechs you post if they are not the same when they are tranlated.

EDIT: oops forgot to comment on new mechs, very nice they are very close to originals in the games and look very nice. good work.

Hm... (wonders to self)

'Could I resize that to Core Defender size?'

Anyway, I can't say I really like that mech so much... it's not that yours is bad, it's just that I never liked that mech in the first place
