New Dinosaur Faction

Here is another pic:

Nice work! Texture on the t-rex is amazing!

[Gabbe]

What would be nice is each individual unit in G3D or Blender Render picture, side front and top view. Then we could give you more accurate criticism on what would need to be imrpove. Ideal would be .gif images to show off animation aswell, but that could get a little..hard

Would it?

I made a very simple script to make some HTML pages so its easy to visualise the models in the mod;

You get the idea:

[ElimiNator]

I don't know how to use that script.

Ok here are some gifs:

Needs more flow



Needs better flow and have a look at bone and muscle walking simulators, you will see it is very mcuh heavier than what is represented here.



Add weight and make it so the legs move naturally and not sliding on the ground.

Other than that looks good.

Needs more flow

Small technical detail.  Those gifs are 10fps  (and 10fps is extravagant for filesize)

The real engines - Glest, MG and GAE - all interpolate additional frames if your graphics card draws faster.  And they pay attention to the speeds specified in the xml etc.

So these gifs are not so representative in the smoothness camp.

I am very pleased that the tool worked, and that the instructions worked (any gotchas or omissions in instructions, please add to tools thread),

AND THESE DINOSAURS LOOK GREAT!

perhaps this brontosaurus ought to be noticeably larger and bulkier than the others?



Does it harvest wood?  Surely a dinosaur faction only harvests wood (and at a prodigious rate so they are major deforesters) perhaps?

_{Edit by Omega: Merged double post. 6 minutes is not enough time to merit a double post.}

[ElimiNator]

The brontosaurus is very big and bulky in game (You can't tell from the thumb_nail) and yes, it is a late game unit that harvests trees at a quick rate.

[Gabbe]

Make a split somewere in the tech were you either go Carnivore or Herbivore?

awesome idea, Gabbe!

[ElimiNator]

All the Carnivores are fighter units, and some of the Herbivores can harvest. So I would like need 2 workers, and way more units.

[wyvern]

whats the saber tooth dino thing, otherwise, looking good

[ElimiNator]

Its a deinonychus, it is small in game so I made its teeth bigger so you can see them.

Here is an in-game pic:

Please Two Herbivores way too little considering the amount

[ElimiNator]

If there are units you think I should add please post them.

[Gabbe]

Have you posted all of them? Please post a techtree, much more convenient

[ElimiNator]

Here is the tech tree:

Names please! 

[Zoythrus]

so, i assume that the dinosaurs are not intelligent enough to conduct research

Well not as of now, any upgrade ideas?

Names please! 

OK.

[Gabbe]

Let me just inform you that there are more species of dinosaurs than that.

And since im too lazy to write them all down for you;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dinosaurs

[Zoythrus]

you know, i think that the dinosaurs should be a mini-faction on the map. like, the lovechild of a normal glest faction and a glestimal.

so, they would be a neutral faction on the map (since they arent big enough to be a true faction)

[Mr War]

I think they'd be find as a faction on their own.
