You're so good with this...

Hey, so why not also make a truck?

We already have a car and a van (by Hobbes), but no truck or bus! They would add a lot to the cities. And it would be cool if you could get inside from the back.

The original van and car (original sprites by Nachtwolf to use in UFO2000) can be found in the DAWNURBAN tileset (there's also a black van version on the AREA51A4 tileset), which can be found either on my Terrain Pack or Area 51 mods.

i had no intentions they were on place of lightning (i just copy pasted the RMP for the test).. your´s is correct

true i will look into it

i will see what i can do, i will do some more vehicles.. but the panel truck is kind of hard because its a small vehicles, does not have the scale to fit a guy like in the Nachtwolf van (i think its a panel truck)

Also, this still needs some extra work, to add insides in case one of tiles gets destroyed.

Can you explain the last step more? I can see you have a grid made for this, can you perhaps share it?

I remember wanting to do something like this in the past, but couldn't come up with a working method.

So you pick the colour you want, select it, then toggle its visibility off and use it as a mask to copy the content? That's clever!

Many thanks BD, this is invaluable.

Another issue is that with a 20x20 craft will occupy 1/4 of the available map area in a 40x40 battlescape and it will be easier to determine the UFO's location or land right new to it. Some modded terrains might have issues if they were designed for 20x10 or 20x10 craft. This is something that the modder can solve through map generation rules or terrain redesign though.

On the PLANE3.MCD file change the BigWall:33 setting to 0 and that fixes the issue. Don't ask my why it works on the Skyranger with that setting activated because I have no idea :)

One thing I noticed is that you haven't defined the .RMP route nodes for the Osprey. You want me to do them?

On the PLANE3.MCD file change the BigWall:33 setting to 0 and that fixes the issue. Don't ask my why it works on the Skyranger with that setting activated because I have no idea :)

One thing I noticed is that you haven't defined the .RMP route nodes for the Osprey. You want me to do them?

ho i see, i thougt about that bigwall issue, but i check back in plane.mcd and copy it to dismiss trouble

sure help is always appreciated !

Yeah, I first checked PLANE.MCD and noticed it also had BigWall so I initially dismissed it. But then I decided to try to send a Reaper up the ramp and it was able to climb the first and second parts of the ramp so the issue had to be with the 3rd part. However, I have no idea why BigWall is used so this *solution* might have unintended consequences, although both the Avenger/Lighting don't use BigWall either.

I've attached the .RMP file to this post

Thanks but unfortunately it's still showing the errors. If it helps this is what the log reads:

Bad node in RMP file: ROUTES/PLANE3.RMP Node #0 is outside map boundaries at X:5 Y:252 Z:251. Culling Node.
Bad node in RMP file: ROUTES/PLANE4.RMP Node #0 is outside map boundaries at X:5 Y:252 Z:251. Culling Node.
Bad node in RMP file: ROUTES/PLANE5.RMP Node #0 is outside map boundaries at X:5 Y:252 Z:251. Culling Node.

EDIT: Is there any way to hide these map error warnings? I don't mind playing with the errors, except the warning display is very distracting...

I'll probably implement some automated check soon for all maps, so that modders can check it and don't need reports from players...

Ahh that would be grand and it would definitely speed up the modding process for everyone, thanks Meridian!

EDIT: There's this other craft I found (Tactical Lightning) but hasn't been updated in over a year with the same problematic node out of map boundaries, so comes up with the map error warning in battlescape...sadly I failed at fixing it.. so in cases like these I really wish there was an option to hide or disable the error warning..

Bullet Designer, can you explain further how to use your grid.psd? I thought I understood, but it turns out I didn't.
How are you supposed to select parts for one tile? I would understand if one tile equalled one colour, but this is not the case - each side of the box has a different colour.
Why is the grid so fuzzy? I can't use it for measurement. It was clearly not meant for this, but I don't know what else I could do.

its simple, select with the photoshop magic wand (with no tolerance or 0 so it only select the color) the yellow blue a red part of the block , the with the selection still on you go for the layer of the object(car) and then copy paste  , it will create another layer with that part detached that you can move easily to the side

hope it helps , but by now i guess you already know how to do it

Thanks. The biggest problem is that when I copy and then paste, it doesn't preserve the entire selection, only the parts which contain any pixels; meaning that I don't know how to position it within the grid. I'm making do with placing an additional pixel in a corner to make sure it's positioned right.

BTW do you happen to have a transport helicopter? It's hard to find a good model.

maybe that hind will help
i found those from the same pixel art autor , but i would recommend transforming the V22 into a Chinook its the easy way out because the ground its the same you only have to change the 2 and 3 level to ajust the blades to center. i would do that but i´m cought up in remastering the entire ufopedia of 40k


"The biggest problem is that when I copy and then paste, it doesn't preserve the entire selection" that makes me no confusion because it always have sense of the boundaries were it will fit, you can bypass that problem by merging the car layer with a solid color one that way you will never have that problem, but you will have to use the eraser future on to make the boundary of the car again ...

Hey bullet!

I tried your V22 but my HWP's can't go out.. they stop just at the entrance of the plane, just before the rift..

And is there a possibility, to make it with more capacity? Can i do it with coding or mapmaking needed? thx..

And i got some ideas about other helos, i send you PM.. thx!

Btw i got the chinook from Xenonauts.. maybe you can make something from it! It would be very nice as a heavy carry capacity helicopter! and another transporter..

Hello there!

I gave a quick read to your post, your work is really amazing.  ;D I would like to make some models, such as helicopters, tanks, APCs, etc. But I'm not sure how to start or what I need. Do I need a 3D model or with an isometric image is it enough? the ripped resources from other games do work? What tools do you use? How are the spritesheets used? How to get started? Thanks in advance!  ;D
Title: Re: Bulletdesigner shipyard
Post by: bulletdesigner on April 17, 2018, 05:53:23 pm
You only need a isometric image , still you can use no image if you are good at 3d scuplting, but basically IMO start by using the MCD edit tool, you can see how the images are formed also you can do full model there ( in the preview part), next is the Dashiva mapview where you place the MCD´s you create in a specific map.
what i explain in the video is a more advance part where you can use a image to your advantage to be more quick
Anyway try the basic , i can help if u need some. Still i think there are some help on the MCD edit / mapview in the forum
Title: Re: Bulletdesigner shipyard
Post by: efrenespartano on April 17, 2018, 08:24:54 pm
All right. I attached some images of what I have in mind.

I have reviewed your video tutorial a couple of times. It looks quite interesting, I understand that you had previously explained in this same post about the previous steps. Right now, I'm reading the MCD Edit page in the UFOpaedia. :)

EDIT: Haha I just checked MCD Edit. And my question is... how to work from an image? I mean, how to import an image. Is it required to be in a particular format? (.png)

Thanks for the help!
Title: Re: Bulletdesigner shipyard
Post by: bulletdesigner on April 17, 2018, 10:15:43 pm
see image how to import and export sprite sheet images from the mcd , the easiest way is to export and change that one png
also only the tank will work due to be the only with exometric axis

Title: Re: Bulletdesigner shipyard
Post by: efrenespartano on April 17, 2018, 10:34:28 pm
Oh, ok! I get it! The sprite sheets are what you make in Photoshop using your grid, right?

Will anything happen if I use an image that does not have this isometric axis? (like the Huey, per example)
Title: Re: Bulletdesigner shipyard
Post by: bulletdesigner on April 17, 2018, 11:13:20 pm
like i said using the grid method is only for helping visulization on model and going faster , you can put any image with any axis , it´s just a image, still is crazy hard to make it work´s on the long run

The jagged alliance 2 resources really inspired me, wrote a python script to bulk convert all the resources and will make them into an art bundle for XCOM.

Whenever it finally finishes running.  Found and converted all the weapons, items, ammo (about 1200 assets) but having some issues locating decor and small objs.  Probably can find it though, will go over it again when I get home.
