Request Module for BattleField 2142 Mech

[Stevodoran]

Hi everyone,

I have worked on a model since this thread: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=18663

The mesh is made but i have no c++ knowledge so i would like to know if somebody would like to make it into a working addon. I have gotten alot of friend's for this model. Also i got help from a person on the internet who also made the textures.

Here is what it looks like now:

Thanks Stevodoran,

The good old BattleField 2142 days... It would be fun to see the Walker in Orbiter

Yes it took along time to make... I would think that it would be hard to have the legs actually moving thought.

If one makes a meshwith an animation were the legs move, I could Try to make an Add-On. Maybe I'll need some help from the forum, but I should be able to do it - if someone gives me the Mesh - and (If he wants that the legs move) it should have an animation of moving legs.

Why was I thinking of putting a mech in my XR5 earlier? XD

Well i would say its a little big to go in the XR5.

 

[IronRain]

I guess it would fit in the XR5, it's not that big

 

[Carmen A]

Fine, I'll just use the turret part XD

 

[Stevodoran]

Well it looks like this in the game so i am not sure if it will fit in the XR5..

If you want me i can give you the mesh.

I would like to do it... would be the best chance to try many things that I could need for a BattleTech add-on for Orbiter. Including a walking animation. :lol:

But a BattleMech would be internally completely different to such a Walker, that would be annoying.

 

[Stevodoran]

So would anyone like to make it?

That won't help, since you have to hard-code the animation into the dll for Orbiter.

However, a Mech is possible to animate in Orbiter, since it's a machine with fixed hinges. You just can't animate people with orbiters standard animation procedures without making htem look like walking robots, but since this is a walking robot, it can be done. It's a lot of work, though...

You have at least two people would would like it. But better leave me out,I am only interested in the walking animation and never played BF 2142.

But... if you could produce a Direwolf or an Awesome mesh... :lol:

 

[gattispilot]

I think you would have to tie it to thrust. I thought about doing it to the Drones from Silent Running.

You can now do skeleton animations and similar voodoo, it is just a lot of effort.

 

[Stevodoran]

I would like to know what people think of the mesh.

yes that would be nice. I'd use UCGO-cars. nobody said you can only make normal cars for that, and maybe I can replace the wheel-animation with the leg-animation.

And yes, I think it would fit into an XR5.

And yes, the mesh is real cool.

 

[Stevodoran]

Well, eh if anyone want it you can download it here :http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UPC2AH7O

You have to use google sketch-up to open it. BTW the name of it is the ''L5 reisig''(battlefield name)

 

[HAL9001]

I wont do it now, because I'm a pupil, too, tomorrow is scool, and in my tiezone it's real late alread. I'll try to do it tomorrow, or at weekend, friday probably.

Art ( One of the two ? authors of Frontier55 Cancri, if i remember ) have made some years ago a walking addon that have been released. Subject of a topic on M6. I do not remember the name of it but i could made a search if necessary ( i have certainly it here ). I don't know if it is also included in Frontier Cancri.

Art is not on the forum since many months but i think that i've read some messages from him at it's beginning. And he have made a site for Frontier Cancri where it is still possible, i suppose, to join him.
