CPC922 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 ...meawhile, modding to kill time: I hoped these high voltage towers were added as new big flavour objects (maybe they will one day), anyway, trying to make the usual old horizons "feel" a bit more modern: (terrain and foliage fully modded as well) Those look fantastic! How did you create those? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 they are no big deal, I just downloaded a picture and cut out the Towers, then tweaked them to fit the horizon. Not very detailed anyway, just to fit the original horizon picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Could upload them to the repository once they are done? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPC922 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Oh, I thought they were actually in game and not part of the horizon! Looks great, tricked me! It would be nice to have actual 3D models though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it! That definitely needs to be a flavor item...but not if it is going o slow down release.

gunnersman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 How about a high power FM/AM transmitters? Or VHF/UHF transmitter tower? Something like the 1000' tall towers. Heck, even a cell (mobile phone) tower? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet 0369 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Wow! Reading through this forum, I thought how happy I am that I'm using my time to play CMBN, CMFI, CMMG, CMGL, CMRT, and CMSF instead of posting "Is it ready yet?, Is it ready yet?" I'm feeling really sorry for those who don't have any other CM games. Edited January 21, 2015 by Vet 0369 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilcar Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Not ready yet = N'yet There must be some kind of Murphy's Law for game release. Not talking just Battlefront, of course, but probably every blockbuster AAA game. Or perhaps an equation that somehow states the proposition that the release date of X game is delayed in direct proportion to Y amount of preorders times Z amount of hype. It seems 2015 has already especially come to be the year of big game delays, judging from titles I've been following. On personal level, I find that whenever a game is roughly scheduled to be released during my vacation, it inevitably gets delayed until some time when I'm back at work. If this is the case, the best way to speed up Black Sea's release would be for me to take one for the team by cutting short my vacation and going back to work today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 16 years of BFC history proves you wrong. Actually, Battlefront's history (back to before they were Battlefront) is overwhelmingly on his side. You guys do realize that they're torturing you because you're all so much fun to torture, don't you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would love to see these high voltage towers some time. IIRC, some one once said if they had the towers people would expect the wires and the wires would do serious damage to frame rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Well, we have telephone poles already and neither i nor anybody i ve ever met complained about no wires beeing there. But what Kieme did is just a skybox anyways, not a 3D model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I am not an expert of programming or 3d modelling, but I assume that the effort of making a complex 3d model is, in BFC eyes, not Worth for something that would just be a prop. Besides, there's a Whole bounch of problems when it comes to interaction with shots/units pathfinding etc. etc. I wouldn't mind the absence of cables. Although I also belive that few things like the high voltage Towers contribute to make a landscape more modern and these items are quite common. There are many potential "modernizing" items, guardrails for example. Making these as 3d models to appear on the side of a road might be possible, but I also belive they fall under BFC concept of time-vs-revenue, where revenue is the effective impact in game of the work done to make them, and since it would again be more of an aesthetic thing than anything, I realize they are out of question. Standard commercial containers, big boxes that would surely be the easiest thing in the world to model in 3d, yet, how would you code them? As flavour objects? Make sure they block LOS, make sure you can stack them somehow, that would take more time than to model them I'm sure. Another thing I miss: tall industrial cimneys. We can make a lot of shapes with the modular buildings, yet we miss some large details that are those which give character to a building: such as a tall cimney, or a round, metal silo, or a cluster of pipes. Now, consider that these big flavour objects must be destructible, otherwise you'd feel something wrong the minute your company sitting inside a building complex is oblitarated by artillery and the buildings raized while that tall cimney made of bricks just survived... In the end: if we were asked something like: would you like to see in game a BMD variant or a set of industrial models as big flavour objects? I guess 95% would go for the tank (I would) because, in the end, we play a tactical sim game, not sim city. But I'd like to have those props nonetheless, if only it was moddable someone might make those.

Vergeltungswaffe Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Actually, Battlefront's history (back to before they were Battlefront) is overwhelmingly on his side. Dating back to the Bigtime Software days, they've never given release dates because they've always been about "when it's done". So, no, there isn't any history on his side at all... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahger Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks, MikeyD. No release candidate notification yet, so, allowing for a week of final testing of that version, it looks like slipping into February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
