Me too... It's an organic build; establish the interior, then skin it. I have no idea where it'll end up, but I like the shape so far
Your interior looks good. I have the same frustrations, we are dealing with a very limited number of block shapes and deco items. They are easy things to add to the game, I believe they are holding out. They don't want to give us everything till the final release, where I think we will see a massive addition of block shapes and deco. I bet there is a huge file folder sitting in someone's computer with hundreds of new blocks and deco
nope, sadly that's not exactly the case. there exists indeed shape / texture - atlas (== directory / list) size restrictions in UNITY that are, believe or not, not as easy to increase. yes, I didn't believe too... as that same problem were (or partly is still) in 7dtd too. this max size is actually at 64. (you know why? 2^6 ;-) so the Devs do have to implement that change sometimes. and yes, I hope sooner than later.
Yep, also the same reason there's so much restriction on Max Number of Textures & Symbols that can be in the game. For the Topic: *Blushes furiously* Holy hell... my Tyrax Hunting RV Tank made the Front Page of the Steam Workshop... ^_^
Well guys I wasn't planning on having a go at this challenge, but then I had a bunch of time on my hands and thought why not. I must say thanks for this it challenged the way I build things ingame a lot. I must admit mine is very utilitarian still with minimal creature comforts, however it's got good redundancy and a full weapon compliment. Space to expand inside too allowing for more storage or whatever's required. It's definitely designed to be self-sufficient. Oh and still fits through a 7x5 door http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1323261301 I should note a few aspects, first up all forward thrusters while open air are all protected and nigh on impossible to hit. Since strafe is more important than forward thrust it has 22 side thrusters each way vs just 20 at the rear. The loss of a block for Jet's over Medium thrusters for only 12% gain on block made them a pointless addition so were rejected in favour of Med thrusters. It would also be easy to add an extra layer or two of armour to the front if it's unable to take enough of a beating for the player, though it's definitely designed with a frontal assault in mind.
I join the challenge. My compact medium tank: HT 500 "Troll". http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1323587074
Great to see newcomers joining in the fun! Thanks for joining in and welcome! Also I have updated the OP to reflect all the builds. Make sure to let me know if I have missed any. https://empyriononline.com/threads/zerog-challenge-build-02-hv-tank.36649/ And the Collection page is up to date as well here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1320441190 Now back to getting mine completed! Time is running out!
I got it! Now I am back on track. I have small details to fix now. interior is pretty much doable for me now. Just clean up time, texture time, logic time and one last once over. Then I can hurry to get photos of Gorman-X and loaded up on the workshop! But I'll be uploading most likely on the last day! anyways here is what I got so far...
I've got a decent display platform built. Made it a good bit bigger than necessary, with 32 15x15 block parking slots, each numbered with a LCD. I went ahead and put it on workshop since it might be useful for other challenges or contests, available here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1323654742 Unless someone else would like to, I can make a world save with the entries spawned in and labelled once the challenge time is up.
You named your Tank something nigh everyone hates the guts of so hard they'll wanna attack on sight & shoot first ask questions never!? Ya got guts man! Ya forgot me again... & this time my Entry was NOT a something deserving to be forgotten... & made it to the Workshop Front Page to boot... *Facepalm* *Wonders if my Tyrax Hunting RV Tank manages to fit in one of those Squares...*
Actually, I used yours (and a few others) as sortof a template/example for making the boxes (makes my boat look small :s)
OMG! @Tyrax Lightning I don't know how or why I missed this! I even commented and liked it and everything! Dave! hold all my calls I must take care of something urgent immediately!
Crap, didn't have time to even read forums for the last 2 weeks, and the challenge is almost over! @Jenniphurr , what is the exact deadline (hours, minutes, timezone)? Might still jury-rig something aproppriate or at least fun..
3/10/18 by 11:59 pm. As long as its up on the forums before that time, ill add it in. Thanks and good luck!
Sorry to remind, but the timezone? Your profile geo is Indiana, that's UTC -5:00, correct? We just happen to live all over the world and have different local times, even your state have both -5 and -6 zones.
Woot! Now i'm on TWO Front Pages! Oh wait... not anymore. Looks like my 15 minutes of Fame expired & it's a crapload of ya'all that's on the Front Page now, especially rucky's Meat Grinder. Was fun for me while it lasted. *Hides Screenie of my Creation on Front Page saved for Posterity behind my back*
Time is running out! and Gorman-X is about 75% completed, so I made a checklist of what do to tonight when I came back home. 1: Complete underside 2: Start work on cockpit 3: add in logic controls Easy enough as these were the bigger hurdles to over come. So plan to knock them out or at least make some progress towards them. So what did I actually do then? Read further for answers. 1: Looks at rear thruster area and places a new block, then another and another. Once an hour goes by I decide I like it and repeat on the other side. 2: Grab something to drink and proceed to youtube and went here: Let it autorun and get more distracted with good musics! 3: by this time drink is needing of a refill. So I refill and go inside Gorman-X to start texturing. What did I learn from this? Stop making a checklist and fill my glass before I start working...
Didn't think I'd come up with a design I liked to enter into this Challenge, but here she is. The FHV-92 Antagonizer http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1325108172
