Anyone need a mortar turret? Under 700 polies and already triangulated.

[Nielk1]

In the case of that I would likely use the turret on something else, like a tank.

What would happen if we made a vehicle piloted by more than one person?

[VSMIT]

You can't?

The closest thing you could do *without DLL* would be to have one player in a tug tugging another player, who shoots.

[GSH]

Tugged units can't shoot.

Bz2 will do one of the following

.x -> .msh
.xsi -> .msh

If you have the model in .x format, you shouldn't need to convert it to .xsi.  Bz2 can only use an old version of the .xsi format which leaves the free XSI Mod Tool out of the question for making models.

[GSH]

BZ2 supports only the .x file format from 1999. Same with .xsi -- use the 1999 file format.

[VSMIT]

Tugged units can't shoot.

Gah.  I thought they could...

Then it would have to be done with DLL.

BTW i got a building to showup in bz2 but it wasn't solid and it was on its side instead of standing upright

Maps & mods board is -----> way.

I'm using the odf editor utility and it wont use .x files and when i convert my .x file saved by wings into .xsi using 3d exploration it doesn't work and the model doesn't come through.

Dont, Use notepad to edit odf files

yeh someone should move this to the maps and mods board btw...

that mortar is cool man. everyones gone wings crazy! could it be the new BZ2 modelling system?

[General_Hoohah]

If you look on the features requested topic in the official wings forum, I requested that they add XSi v1.1 for Battlezone2 and they added it! Problem is they're so busy they haven't gotten to it. I bet they wouldn't be against someone doing it for them.

Hey, I also need an idea for a new type of power generation. Can anyone think of anything super high tech? Or something from science fiction?

Also I have this idea where you build a utility vehicle that can lay several things. Mines and different kinds of turrets. If it can simply drop something off like an APC, then it can be transferable to players who can help defend your base by building and setting up turrets for you while you start building your base.

I was also thinking that these units could use biometal tanks. You could replenish one of these unit's ammo by telling it to visit the service pad or recycler where it could draw biometal from the stock pile.

Anyway, here's my chaingun turret redone.

Solar power, air power, something to do with the e=mc squared
