Re: Tank project (2nd prototype)
Here comes the second prototype: it is now equipped with a self regenerating energy shield, an automatic self repair system, and a defensive anti infantry grenade launcher(press 0 or num 0, can stock up to three grenades, reloads over time), I also improved the effects and balanced it a bit.
Thanks for this great new sprite Kettenkrad, I'll include it in the next version.

I'm just curious, is this tank going to form part of the Triclon Empire or it is a separate project? Because I read in the description that it is a medium tank, so does that mean that there will be heavy and light variants?
Excuse me, but it is really an interesting project.
It is separate from the Triclon Empire, but I'll reuse everything that I learned by making them in this project. When I am satisfied with this one, and if I have the time, I may make a light and/or heavy variant(s).

May I also suggest that the main gun use a variable velocity system, so that HE rounds are fired at a low velocity, as a bombardment weapon, as apposed to the super-sonic AP rounds?
This is a good idea, I'll try to code it.

The gun seems a tad big for the rounds that it fires, are you planning to make the rounds bigger or should I do the barrel shorter / thinner?
The sprite used for the rounds is a placeholder, I'll replace it by the ones you made.

Re: Tank project (2nd prototype)
You could probably integrate the outlines better, but yes, it looks good.

Re: Tank project (2nd prototype)
I like the really defined lines, it makes everything more... defined? (theres a better word for what i think, im sure of it) Bah, regardless, i like it.

Re: Tank project (2nd prototype)
Looks a bit too much like shapes just slapped together atm, might want to make it flow a bit better.

Ok, I'll come back to it when I've learnt more.

Re: Tank project (2nd prototype)
I really liked the first sprite you made, if you were to make it that shape but a bit shorter (Not truncated and boxy) and combine it with the detail on the latest one, it'd look awesome.

Re: Tank project (2nd prototype)
I cannibalised parts of the latest sprite and used them to modify the first one you did. Couldn't be bothered texturing the whole thing but I think it just looks more realistic this way. The generator slots in between the engine with the wing covering, both as attachables

I was just about to say that.
I've had another problem with the tank like twice, but it's very wierd. Sometimes when I use the grenade, the main cannon doesn't fire, it just makes the muzzle flash and the sounds, and decreases the ammo on the clip, but it doesn't fire. And when I throw a grenade again, it works.
But it was really wierd. I wasn't doing anything strange, anyway, I just ordered the tank on Zombie Cave to complete the mission with the tank.

Re: Tank project (2nd prototype)
I just finished the code, now I just need to include the new sprite and maybe make some minor adjustments and it will be ok, I'll do that tomorrow.
Btw this is the longest non-mission lua code I've ever written:

-----------Variables you can edit:-----------
self.healtime = 2000 --the actor will regenerate 1% of his health every self.healtime ms. self.ShieldPower = 7500; --this you can edit: a higher number will make the shield more powerful, a lower number less powerful self.ShieldRegen = 0.10; --the % of the shield that will be regenerated in 1 tick (60 ticks in a second if you haven't modified your DeltaTime) 1.25 <-> 1.25% / tick <-> 75% / sec. self.ShowRealShieldValue = false; --activating this will show you the real power of the shield instead of a %.

Edit: and I corrected the non-hitting shells, I did it by setting the atomgroup resolution to 1 and the depth to 0.
Edit-2:This is my third prototype, everything is now functionnal, please report any bug you find, if they aren't any I'll release it. Download: download/file.php?id=37113
