I made this module this afernoon, and I have a project for it, To add a Big cannon actor to add inside. The cannon would have different type of weapons: Grenades/Mortar, Incendiary charges, Flak, MINES ! ...

My goal was to make a grenade launcher turret which would shoot beyond the walls of the bunkers. Since the AI can't do that job yet, it would only be human controlled.

But since I SUCK at coding and i'm a bit better at spriting, I'm looking for a nice person to help me in my task. Aslo, I am quite busy in real life, so I prefer spending my spare time on things that I like, which is not exporing code. Even if CC code is quite simple...

So, before we start anything else, I also drew a few concepts for the graphics of the cannon, and I let you tell me which one is the best :D

I also added the scripted bunker module which is aleready fully useable in your games.

[UPDATE !] I Closed the poll after quite a week now, all the most actice members seem to have voted.

And Its N°3 who wins ! I'll start working on it as soon as I want, which means today or tomorrow.


[IPDATE² !] The Canon sprite is done !

still the ammo and shells to do. not much :D I'll contact Elpolodiablo for the coding.

Thats a nice Bunker, you should make a base with the same style as that

Wow, so the cannons gonna take up the whole bunker? :o
Anyway, I like the base of #7, and the gun of #3.

Well yeah, I'ts supposed to be a big thing. I planned on mortar-like attacks because horizontal aiming isn't possible with this module and such a big cannon, and because I don't see much grenade lauche mods these days ^^

and about a pack of bunker modules like this one... well i'll see if I have other Ideas, but I tried to stick as much as I could to the original style without stealing the original material/texture.

Yeah a Pack of Bunker Modules in that style would be grrrrreat!

All the guns look really great. Maybe you should implement them all and give them strengths/weaknesses, like Heavy Firepower, but High Cost and Low Damage Threshold.

Hey, it's a nice idea. I'll see, Let's have only one for the beginning :D

for the time being, it seems that #3 is at the head of the charts. I'll let the poll one week, to be sure.

D-Meat, What ever happened to the WW2 Bunker Map?

Post subject:  Re: The Mortar Module
I still got it, and the latest version is still on the forum, "scene making" section. But I'ts build 14, and it's not interresting to play with build 17 (I think...) having only 2 big bunker modules in one map isn't as fun as plenty XD

But if you want it converted, or want to convert it yourself, go ahead :D

Yea, I'd much rather custom bunker modules :P

I like #5, it seems the most millitary-like of the whole group, and this idea is brilliant, can't wait.

Post subject:  Re: The Mortar Module
cool idea...I like #2

7 or 2.

Or a heavy version (7) and a lighter version (2) each with different weapons.

..But if I had to choose, I'd say 2.

I like two because it looks like it'd be a stationary mech.


As a side note, you are a god at spriting. Where did you learn to sprite how you do? Do you have any tips on dithering/shading? Or outlines/color choice?

Yeah, I'd like to know what program you used. Looks like it was done with Photoshop.
