Tactics Vehicles

[Thorgrimm]

I have a question, the vehicles in tactics only have death anims for the four direstions, NE,NW,SE,SW, and my question is, has anybody created the death animations for the directions of N, S, E, W?
Any information would be most helpfull.

No, it doesn't sound like an easy undertaking to create the extra artwork. There is also the lack of a sprite editor that can handle that type of operation.

[Thorgrimm]

ok, thanks JJ86.

Sounds way too complicated, those pixcell artists burn their eyeballs out making that stuff. Still with a program like Truespace 5+ making a completely new vehicle would be a daunting but attainable goal but the hard part would be making it look right in game and I suppose that you could use particle or adobe after effects for the death sceen.

Wow, cool, Thulsa Doom!!!

But anyway, I don't think there is any need for more than one death anim for vehicles. It's gonna be a rare occurence anyway.

All the sprites in Tactics are a series of 3D Studio Max renders.

I have several sci-fi vehicles made in Truespace 2 that could be imported into the game if there was a sprite editor out there to do such a thing.

hey Retlaw83 I have that and TS5 as well but really I use TS2 more its a cool east to use program, been using if for years. I seldom use all the added whistles and bells on TS5.

What sprite editor do the game mills use?

[Retlaw83]

The people who made Tactics used a sprite editor that launched from the Tactics Tools menu. It will never be released, however.

Damn, that sucks.

[Retlaw83]

The sprite editor launched from the FT Tools main menu, too, and it will never see the light of day either.

Please stop torturing me with cool editor things I'll never see.

They also messed up multiplayer by taking out the possibility of having multiple characters within a point range (like 5 1k chars vs a single 5k char). I think that was a really bad move.

I mean the 10k games would have been more fun if you could bring 5 2k rocket launcher guys and blast those loser druggies to bits

I'd like to play the multiplayer demo again but I can't seem to find it :-/

Check DaC's Tactics file section, dummy! There's a link to a FilePlanet download.
