Imperial Assault new trees

[X-Man]

[This has been translated by Pyrosity from X-man’s original mostly-english text]


Okay boys, i’m a Imperial Assault team member. We actually have a little problem: we want to have new bigger trees. And we have a lot of bugs and problems about that. Thats why we are requesting your help

We want 3 tree categories:

- Normal Trees: those from vanilla Zero Hour. They are exactly the same


- Big Trees: Normal Trees, but they are scale 2. All the bush and other non-tree stuff is removed. They can burn, but are crushed only by big vehicles (crushable level=2 )


- Very Big Trees: Big Trees, but scale 3. Dont burn, no bush and other stuff, cant be crushed or only by very big vehicles. Kind of like buildings.

We need :

- To create a new Editor Sorting category for World Builder : Big Shrubbery. The new trees ( Big and Very Big ) will go in that category.

- For the names of Big Trees: B_ before the name of the little brother(B_Treedogwood) and VB_ for Very Big Trees.

- Create the 2 new tree categories, and make WB working with all that stuff



Thanks for all help

I'm not sure that new catiglories are possible, but the names are easy, just do this:

Object VB_XXXTree

Why don't we sort of make a forum project out of it? Then release a "tree pack" for people to use? I know I could use them for Blitz2. Right now though all my guys are busy on piles of work...so I can't offer any modeling help. I will however, offer to do the tree textures if someone does the models (and uvmap).

Btw X-Man....are you thinking of the trees for Endor?

[EvilViking]

Hmmm.. I'm not sure I can picture SW trees in Blitz2. :lol:

Oh, smurf, there's a Blitz2 POTD over at www.generalsfiles.com , just incase you hadn't seen it.

Smurf, it is for Endor.

And we would really like to have Endor trees, I'm sure alot of people would. But if needed I guess we'll make new trees as a last resort.

pcteen1, trees are trees :P They ones used in star wars are just normal trees...it isn't like they were purple "alien" trees.

Yea I saw the pic at generals files earlier...kinda cool, made me think of how better the skins look now though (with the sharpening)...god they were blurry before.

lol :lol:

The reason I mentioned the trees was the game "Galactic Battlegrounds" (Age of Kings, but Star Wars ). That game had some freaky trees! Check it out:



Freaky, eh? :rockbrow:

[Kelso]

Ugh, that was an awful game. Anyone who can do good graphics stuff could have modded age of kings into that.

I'm hoping imp assult ends up being the first good starwars rts...

Anyways...no one likes my tree package idea?

[TibMoon]

i do, sounds like a great idea, the trees in wb all suck anus and the bushes are all the same, there is also only one type of foilage for deserts which makes making a desert look like plain old $H!T it would be frigin sweet if you guys could release an open tree pack that could be used for any mod as long as they give credit to sw:ia please do it, i think tatooine would look pretty plain with only joshua trees and no cactuses
