Tanks a Lot

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Juju: Tanks, that is one AWESOME bunker! Yeah! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanks Juju, I love your new pavement mod. I think I'll be playing more city battles.

Thanks John for your help. I improved the depth and shadowing and removed the poster. My image storing site is currently down so I can't show a picture now. aka_tom_w: I'll send both summer and winter versions to 109Gustav's site today. The Last Defense

John: Is this the stairstepping you want? Does the propaganda poster look out of place on the back of the bunker?

I changed the picture in my last post. Reduced the snow quite a bit.

Does this look better? Edited to change picture. [ 10-12-2001: Message edited by: Tanks a Lot ]

Cubbies Phan kept reminding me to do a winter version of my concrete bunker, so I gave it a shot. I removed all the moss and vegetation and put dead branches instead. Added snow around the base and icicles above the firing slit. Unfortunately I can't put snow on the roof without the whole side being covered in snow.

Thanks Jeff, I'll probably send it to The Last Defense Link when I'm done. The anti-grenade screen was John's idea and reducing the amount of moss was Cubbies Phan's.

Thanks Rommel22. I made a few more changes after reading John Kettler's suggestions. I added a door handle to the rear door. Moved the screen farther out and made it a larger mesh. I made the firing slit much more simple to avoid problems. I can't really add a ventilator to the roof because there is no separate roof texture. Part of the side is stretched to make the roof. That also makes blurring the edges not look correct. Does this look better than before?

I really like the color and like you say it'll look extremely good against the landscape. Excellent job Tanks a lot. I'll certainly use it.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanks again Lee. I reduced the level of "mossyness" by about 25%. Nothing major but I think it's ready to go now.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Cubbies Phan: Well yeah, but what I meant was that a concrete bunker would have been recently built back during the war would not have been around long enough to become mossy. Get my drift?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes that does make sense, but if it's damp enough, it wouldn't take too long. That reminds me, time to clean my shower.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Cubbies Phan: Hey now, now that looks good. Although it's a bit too mossy, in my opinion. Meaning that it looks like what a concrete bunker would look like today, rather than what it would look like back in the '40s Where's the winter version? Keep the same look, you could add snow hanging off of the vegetation, or make them leafless. [ 10-11-2001: Message edited by: Cubbies Phan ]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Didn't they have moss back in the '40s? :confused: The mossy color blends in with the terrain better serving as camouflage. I'll probably remove it and the foliage when I get around to doing the winter version.

After some excellent suggestions, I re-made my concrete bunker. New firing slit with stair-stepped edge. Anti-grenade mesh inside. Texture has a more mossy green look to it. Added some foliage around the base. New back door.

Please post just the URL (not as an image, but as a URL link) so others can see the fine work. Where can I get the MOD, and where can I get tanks' building mods? Thanks in advance.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The 2-story buildings are at Combat mission Times. CMT They don't come with those cool red roofs.

Looks great Juju. I was going to try pavement one of these days, but now there's no need to. These give the game a whole new look.

I downloaded Juju's explosion mod with no problems. I would download Tanks a Lot's new winter buildings, but I already have them.

I think I got it now. A new metal door in the back and sandbags in the front.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Vergeltungswaffe: Sandbag the latter and you're ready for release. Keep the great work coming. Just grabbed your winter buildings.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I just added sandbags. Now its time to visit Mr. Sandman. They should be finished tomorrow. Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks Lee and tom. I could put the taller grass on the first one or maybe put some sandbags on the second one.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I made a few changes that you guys mentioned. Which one do you like better?

I started working on a concrete bunker mod yesterday and thought it should have sandbags. Does this look good enough to release?

Thanks Vergeltungswaffe, I tried to make some buildings more beat-up looking than others, but CMMOS allows you to switch if they don't fit in. I'll probably send them out later today.

Pascal: After "Silence l'ennemi" It says "Guette vos confidences" Michael: The summer versions are here. The Last Defense CMT

Even though they only got a few responses, I decided to make winter versions of my last small building mod. If there's enough interest, I might send them out.
