Desert Conflict Mod Update - showNOmercy's Journal

[Spawndemon]

The Desert Conflict mod is back yet again with another new update to add this week. This time around it's from the team member showNOmercy. Take a look:

Hey everyone out there in Internet land! Time for an update from showNOmercy your friendly DCON DEV, I've been a member and supporter of DCON since it's early beginnings. Joined on as a modder March of this year. Here is some of what I have been working on recently:

M109 - Howitzer
-----Original model FVP
-----Texture Hoofer
-----Bundled mesh and tracks showNOmercy
-----Cupola Doorstop/showNOmercy
-----Coding/Effects Kiff

During the process of learning how to animate tank tracks and wheels, I ended up redoing the tracks for this cause they needed some attention. It is actually easier to remake them rather than fussing around trying to repair UV's.

Now this looks great! Can you give us some more information on how your artilary system will work? Will it be like 1942 was or like some of the new mods have done?

Kiff will be doing a journal entry for his work on the arty spotting system. I'll get it out to you all when he gets it to me.

Is this the DC from 1942?

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - showNOmercy's Journal

Resize the barrel...it looks like a 25 cm.

And that little flame looks like the tank is trying to smoke a cigarett.

The rocket artillery should have smaller wheels. It looks to much like a tractor.

Otherwise great job.

Kiff will be doing an update regarding the artillery. To quick answer your question, the answer is yes. The arty system will be like the bf1942 style arty system.

Is this the DC from 1942?

How do you mean? We are trying to recreate the DC feel from 1942 on the BF2 engine.

We are DCON (Desert-Conflict). None of the original DC (Desert Combat) developers (Trauma) are involved with us. DCON DEVS are made up of fans of the original DC and fans of BF2.


**edit**
I knew I missed something in the credits when I wrote that up.

Sounds are by =DNC=SySeX73

Yeah, the howitzer does seem kinda funny looking.... Not to say its a bad model.

This is a pic of a real howitzer -

But then again its a sceenshot of a mid view perspective. Its hard to tell exactly whats off, if any thing is off to begin with. Just my opinion no pun intended.

Re: Desert Conflict Mod Update - showNOmercy's Journal

the missile truck needs cup-holders

Interesting stuff.

probably an optical illusion based on the perspective of the shot.

the best way to guage it (what they did in the BF42 Desert Combat) is to not only look at the blueprints and scale - but also take a good look at the pictures and create reference points that interact like a crossword puzzle interacts with different words.

the best reference point in pictures of M109s for barrell length - is where the barrell attaches to the bipod (do they call it a bipod) during transport.

Check this pic and look again at the DCon pics.
