Duncan_10158 Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Finaly i had some time to work on my own projects, so here it is my Hailfire Droid vehicle. the mashs and skinmaps are finished, i am working on a few animations now, what shouldnt be that difficult cause there is not much to animate. i dont know if i should do the skins on my own or if out there is someone who would like to do them. is there someone? here are two pics: i made the rocketlauncher swing up and down, the rockets are under gavity, so it looks like in AOTC. but i got a bug in it i cant find why, when i drive backwards shooting the game crashes. if someone knows this, let me know. Update: thanks to riovu we know now, its not hellfire droid but hailfire droid. (shame on me, shame on me)
monsoontide Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Duncan, Already sent you and e-mail - but I will do the skin if you like - Only fair, since you are working on mine Just send me the template (And the model too I guess, so I can see where all the bits go! 3DSmax format is fine - I should be able to handle it!)
The Cheat Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 wow, that looks very nice. keep up the good work
Hellfire Jedi Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Yey! I have a vehicle named after me, and it looks quite awesome.
monsoontide Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Part of the concept art in the ART OF EPISODE 2 BOOK features the next step up from the Destroyer droid which Duncan has already made, so I might make one of these if I get time!!!! Duncan's gonna hate me for starting yet another model
tFighterPilot Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Does the game just crash, without giving any message?
kek Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 I love your Model i'd never thought someone would think of making it your a really good modeler man!!!!! by the way i think the vehicle is called (hailfire)

Hellfire, ahhhh..... yes that was it i named it after you. i was thinking of that from the start. so i hope you gone rename yourself also to hailfire? monsoontide, please let some models left for the next generation of modelers, its not fair if you do everything and they have nothing to do left. every generation needs some great project to do.
monsoontide Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Oh, I think there's still plenty of models left to do (A-Wing, B-Wing, Y-Wing, Tie Interceptor, Tie Defender, Tie Advanced, Snowspeeder, Ronto, Bantha, AT-PT, Spider Walker, plus conversions for the twin-pod cloud car and Vaders-Tie models that come with the game) Besides if anyone isn't satisfied or doesn't like my models, they're totally free to make thier own! or to reskin mine! Though I must admit, I'm all modeled out (At least for vehicles) and it's time for me to get back to my SIEGE maps!

Though I must admit, I'm all modeled out (At least for vehicles) and it's time for me to get back to my SIEGE maps! A-wing: Checked! B-wing: I doubt someone would make it. Y-wing: Would probably be made. Tie Interceptor: Checked! Tie Defender: Will happen, I'm sure of it. Tie Advenced: See Tie Defender. Snow Speeder: Checked Ronto: I don't know what it is, but someone would probably do it. Bentha: Will happen. AT-PT: The coolest of all walkers, have to happen! Spider Walker: Probably will happen.
monsoontide Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 The Ronto is the big animal the Jawas are riding in the special addition of Star Wars when the swoop bike zips past and scares it and one of the Jawas falls off.
monsoontide Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Duncan sent me the HailFire droid to skin, so hope to get it done this weekend. The vehicles is quite impressive apart from needing a few animation tweaks. The rockets work well, arcing through the air. I think perhaps limiting them in number would be an idea though.

DarkLord60 Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Wow that does look great you ever think about working for us at AOTC:TC we could us another good modeler. email me at J_hamp60@hotmail.com
Zappa_0 Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Hey Duncan what else do you got planned to make for JA?
Duncan_10158 Posted November 11, 2003 Author Posted November 11, 2003 the hailfire droid is getting well, monsoontide sen me a first pic of a partly skined model, looks great. i hope he has enough time for it with all his other projects. Zappa_0, you probably know about my droideka project, i am working on adding an energy shield, that is on when standing and off when its in roll mode. i hope to have some time for it in the next few days. i am also woring on some early models of a federation battletank and a gungan kaadu. i hope i can make models like the ATTE, ATAT or the gungan battle wagon. but they need to have some code changes to work properly, so we probably have to wait until the source code comes out and some coder helps me to creat a new vehilce class. i am looking forward to creat models that can be used in siege maps, for ex. a battle for genosis siege map with all the different droids and vehicles would be absolutly cool. this hailfire droid could take the place of a heavy artilery, its deadly in distance but weak in short range. this in a good designed map could add some real tactical depth, make cooperation more importent then firepower. i am trying to creat these vehicles with strength and weakneses.
Zappa_0 Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Cool and Duncan you forgot to something you can add your vehicles to....movies!!! Hehehe...your helping to make TJD 2 even better then TJD is gonna look. TJD is The Jedi's Demise, and you will be credited so dont worry. Also TJD 2 is still a long way till we actually start filming.
Usurpo Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 'eya Dunk. I think I got your problem covered...isn't it default for all vehicles to have shields? I mean, even Tie Fighters and AT-STs have them! [in the game] Thus, I think the shielding process is built into the Master Code...and therego, it would require quite some coding to disable shields for rolling...then again, thats just my hypothesis. Feel free to explore the issue more...

We sure could use your talents, You helped me out with the Zam speeder, and we really need that kind of a touch over here. Anyhow, keep up the great work! Mars out
monsoontide Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Weekend has been unexpectedly busy, so achieved less than I had planned for. Only about 65 - 70% done. Hopefully should be done by the end of the week (work permitting) and maybe Duncan will be able to fix a couple of animation bugs by then!
