[TFTD] [CRAFT] Enhanced Reskin of T.f.t.D. Craft

[Roxis231]

Work on the Multi- Door versions is almost done. (See Pix) Just haveing some problems with placements.





(And yes those are grav-lifts.)

Does anyone have a list of how the rules for troop placement in craft work?

good work btw 

The first three number are x,y,z coordinates, the last one is the direction your unit is facing to, iirc 0 being right and each +1 changes the facing 45° clockwise so if you want to turn your unit 180° you add 4 etc.

I found this old topic about a possible issue:

Right - but I was more after how the HWP (or 2x2 units) interact. ie if in position one, does it take up positions 1,2,3 and 4 or does it take up position 1 plus the 1 tile north (or south) and 2 tiles east (or west).

Pictures might help.

Quick Question - Which version of the Leviathian do people prefer?

This?



Or the Original



I've added a poll for this.

[Solarius Scorch]

I like the non-original one better.

[Arthanor]

Yup, me too. The wings are much nicer!

[Solarius Scorch]

Right, and I like the interior a lot more!

[new_civilian]

voted for both 

[Roxis231]

Got the placements for the Levithan and HammerHead worked out - just haveing trouble with Triton. (also small graphics problem with the hybrid)



Does this work? Any thoughts? Any sugestions?

Anyone who wants to Beta-test this layout, please P.M. me with a request.

looks nice with two doors on the triton.

[new_civilian]

I made a Triton with 2 doors some time ago, too. There is ONE huge problem with it: Melee enemies in terror missions. On harder difficulties it is problematic to defend one door alone, with two you are completely open to melee attackers AND grenades. It became so dangerous that I removed the second door again.

Maybe (seeing you are good at MCD editing) remove the Triton doors completely and give it a 2-tile door at the back like most IFVs or APCs have?

[Roxis231]

Could do one as a replacement for the Triton - but right now my time is somewhat limited, Work and Family have to take priority.

[new_civilian]

Take your time, it's only a hobby.

I have had some time to look at this over the last two days. I've made a basic plan and a quick mockup.



Was this what you sugested?
