Hrm, it looks like the problem is with the UV layout then. The texture is being applied on a projection-type layout, but that's not best for the texture once it gets on the model.

I was thinking that you did the UV differently. I'd have to tweak it to make it how it is in my mind. If the GMD team is happy with it though, don't worry.

No how about a 0.8 I'm sure there is still a lot of work to do.

agreed the first thing I downloaded must have been like 0.000000001 thanks to the fact that the base opens stays open for a long time then closes 5 seconds before the guy comes out, really strange

No, you just slow the anim-speed in the XML.

 ;D ;D good job so far!
A lot new units to discover!

some bugs:
- game crashed when trying to produce a anti_aircraft_gun because it has no be_build skill.
- game crashed when loading scenario moon_be_telescope. a unit phaser is not known. Is it probabaly phaser_man?
- tilset moon has .cvs directories everywhere

And by the way, the background sound of the martians is very annoying!
All in all this is a good new mod, but it still needs some work.

One hint for your walk cycles: http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D/_Tutorials/_Armatures/_Walk-Cycle  I know its in german, but on the right side you see the pictures for every pose needed to make one good looking step. The second step ( the other leg ) is made by inverting(flipping) the poses from the first step. This helped me a lot to create good looking walking animations! (Hint: you can only invert(flip) the poses when you gave proper names to the bones like foot.L and foot.R for example. ) (Anyone knows where to get this tutorial in english??)

Dude, I used 4 frames for the Hunters running anim, it came out better than any "running" anim I've ever seen you do, no offense.

I'm pretty sure the number of frames doesn't effect the speed.  I've made animations that were 2 frames, and animations that were 20, and they're the same length.

Phoenix, I learned animation from John and Elim.
But I mean the quality of my animations is partially due to the rig that I use, and also to the fact that I put a lot of time into anims.

Two frames?  Really?  You're going to need more than that to make it look good.  You can maybe make a good walking/running animation with four frames, but not two.

For walking, I recommend 6, and running can be done with 4, but there is absolutely no reason to use a lot of frames Elim.

Exactly what I mentioned..... It was terrible. Also arch on animating make the guys foot leave the ground by only a small height. The anim for the necromancer looks like he trying to knee someone in the stomach I'm going to have to improve that
