Im making a truck model

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Hello ppl,

Im making a truck model in Wings 3D, its still early in its stage, but I was wondering:

1. Can Wings 3D models be used in Tremulous?
2. If any coders are intrested in helping me, I know nothing of C, C# or C++.

Pm me if you are intrested on adding a wee truck to the game.

Thank youze!

why would tremulous need a truck modle?

just say in

[Shadowgandor]

oooo,ooooo -sound of horn - yeeeeew splat -sound of truck crashing against a tyrant-

Doesn't that sound cool?

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Uh, dude, for the hell of it!

Course we dont need it, it would still be cool though!

(for more detail on whats cool about it, see ShadowGandor's post)

[Seldom]

We dont need / want a truck in trem

Too many problems >.>

I'm making a train that goes back and forth and squishes people like in that Halo 2 map.

[whitebear]

Yay! I've always wanted a train that goes back and forth and squishes people like in that Halo 2 map. [/sarcasm]

[Plague Bringer]

Meh.

[Mispeled]

Well on metro it would be pretty cool...

[Plague Bringer]

I'm making a map called metro. It's going to be in this france train station. There's going to be an intercom and moving trains too. The aliens are going to start out in the creepy crypts by the sewers. What do ya think about that?

Of course the humans always lose though. It's France, you know?

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Dont worry, my truck aint french, it goes forward. lol

This truck is just for the banter.

even if it stood in one place all the time it still would be cool

Truck?  How about a simple weaponlight?  The darkness is not your friend, if you are human.

Ive got a rough but functional truck ready, complete with animations. Its been done on blender, this is the first thing Ive ever done on blender, something of pioneering.

Here are a few pics:





I still need to add

Steering Wheel
Gun Emplacement, on back
Pedals
Front and back bumper detail, eg lights
Air Intake on bonnet
General Deatails
Exhaust Pipe

The only problem I can think of is it being just too big, you would have to make special outdoor maps for this.
I also need smoke fromj the exhaust pipe
I dont know much C, ill probably copy and edit from oither objects.
I need to set viewpoints for people inside the truck, I have no idea how to do this.
Its gonna take a long, long time.

Unless some1 helps me...

Ill show little vids of the animations soon.

you should give the truck a little nos burst so when somebody shoots at it it has someway to get out of the way since it cant wallride or jump around lol

Battlefield ftw / ftGoG.
Time for Alientank.

[Eli]

Sweet... I Wanst To try it! =P XD Good work it looks pretty cool.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Update:

The truck has now got:

A Bumper (pesky tyrants)
A Turret (pesky everything)

Im making lights and one of those air intake thingies on the bonnet.

Im reading up and starting to dabble with animations, it is going well.

But as for the coding, je est clueless.

How about reading the FAQ?
