Gametoast.com Modders Contest 1 - can you make this fly?

Post by **SteveK14** » Sun Mar 13, 2005 10:35 am

I have made R2D2 flyable and with an Xwing cannon. Just about any object can be made flyable and given at least one weapon. It can also carry passengers, but in order for them to have viewports, or aimers, the mesh needs harpoints to attach them to.

Ha , very cool Steve, any screencaps? Yeah I would love to play a mod where all the vehicles are things that shouldnt fly, lol. Barrels, trees and such, what a battle that would be.

Yes, I'm posting them on my website (under construction and one shot is already there) as well as my mod. Try it and see what you think. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't tested the mod in multiplayer mode yet. I will be setting it up on my server today to test. Look for a server called KgroupMod. My web is http://users.adelphia.net/~skayda/

I also have pictures of the Alliance trooptransport that is multipassenger and a cannon, and the Millenium Falcon multi-passenger, with a cannon. These are in my mopd as well.

That is a picture of the Alliance command speeder I made. it is a mobile command post to replace the Hovernaught until it is fixed. It is a seperate entity so you can have combat speeders as well as this Command Speeder.

Updated pictures on my website

np:0 wasnt pressuring, Id really just like to fly it around. Looking forward to some flying "things" maps.

Saturn_V,

Maybe we should make a bizarro map where everything, including rocks, is flyable. LOL

I'm already working on a flying Sofa !

IM down with a bizzarro map. make things like huts from endor into vehicles, crates and even the mist from hoth in the caves, see if those props can be made to ride, it would be hilarious in a huge battle to see a handful of huts coming at you. Guns blazing!!

Okay, I have packaged up the UFO, I'll post it when I get home.

As the challenge 1 winner , I guess I get to choose the next challenge:

GT CHALLENGE 2:
============
With the Clone Wars cartoon starting again next week, the challenge is to create a texture for any unit (and any era) so that it looks like the cartoon version. I suggest we run this challenge for 2 weeks, so that we can get another one in before Revenge Of The Sith is released.

Tip: if you have photoshop or an app that can use photoshop plugins, the cutout and posterize filters will help you make base textures from the exisitng skins.
