New CP for our modern mod, need some feedback and ideas

(twt_thunder) #1

Hey dudes,
As some of you might know we’re working on an modern ET mod,
And I am creating a new kind of CP for it.
this is how far I’ve got on the model and I would love some feedback what you think.
Of course it will be made a table and stuff in Gtk for it. Also wanna animate one of the screens so it looks alive…
Any other sugestions?

looks nice :smiley:

Thanx :smiley: , doing the best I can

Very nice indeed!

Not really, depends how modern you want to be but I quite like ETQW command posts; field/millitary notebook, portable radar, important looking cases, etc etc.

When I saw it, since you suggest ETQW, I also thought about TCE, which is quite modern as well :slight_smile:

Do not remember the etqw comandpost… Screenshots anyone?

Never played TCE… got CS :smiley:

well, I think I should finnish mine, and maybe add a portable radar, with the map brushes and all I will take a screenshot ingame to show you :smiley:

Nice, I’m guessing you are going a little more modern looking then ETQW but the radar constructed would be a nice little touch.
Maybe something simple like this (which could be put on top of the tower):

Change the rotation of the individual objects, they are all aligned and look too perfect. Also if can spare few more tris, add some chamfers to the main edges, looking bit too square at the moment.

hmm… that’s a nice touch :smiley: allready created a bit older looking one… but I can release that as a mapobject instead… will give this one a shot :smiley: thanx

Good Idea, That will make it look more natural

(twt_thunder) #13

Allready made THIS you see , so might go with it.
As the vertiges is at only 792…
we’ll see :slight_smile: depends on how it actually looks ingame

Also have a question to a mapper:

Would anyone help me out making this a constructable and destructable comandpost as it is ingame?

and @Psykorgasm I guess this is what you would like:


but the vertiges is allready half of the other … but I will consider…

(rorgoroth) #14

Ah, well both look pretty good to me, the etqw-like radar you made looks good - I say go for that, I was just throwing wild ideas out there :tongue:

(twt_thunder) #15

I liked your idea, just need to test both of them to see what looks the coolest…
just one problem left… Need to figure out how and where the flags should be :smiley:

To make things simpler, make the table part of the model, less objects in the mapscript you need to hide and unhide.

You’ll need two versions of the CP for each team and a damaged version of each of those then a neutral one also, how I would split this is this:

Neutral: Table with unpackaged equipment on top.

Team A: Model you have now with a blue colour scheme.

Team B: Model you have now with a red colour scheme.

Damaged versions would follow the colour schemes.

Then just look at the stock map sources, and replace the model paths in the command post entities and change the clips to suit your models.

thanx @Chris,first This is the solution I will go with:


but do I need one model for each team? I mean there is flags that we might can change with skins… But I will do as you say and follow the original as good as I can. But I guess it wont fit too god with the original maps…lol probably some will go into walls and stuff.
But ofcourse this is made for new maps.

when it comes to the clipping, would you care to help me out? and I will try to make all the other stuff ready first.

EDIT:actually it seems like 3 models of each :frowning:
well, might be finnished in a week or so

(.Chris.) #18

Yeah, can probably use different skins, can’t remember what the originals used. I don’t have radiant or ET installed on my new PC yet so can’t help beyond this.

(twt_thunder) #19

Np, think I will fix it.
Even if I am a lousy mapper I think I can fix this :smiley:
