I already have sprites I use for the light rocket artillery, but now that the artillery scripts are almost done(just some polishing to finish), it would be quite easy to make other artilleries, I could use heavy artillery sprites to make some heavier and more destructive artillery, that will be useful both against troops and buildings, unlike the light one. If you have nice artillery sounds too that would be even better. The sprite should be split in two parts: the base that won't rotate and the cannon that will be attached to it. +any other attachables, armor plates, turrets ...etc you want.

And thank you all for your nice comments, that makes me want to make more cool stuff.

I just updated this:

_added the rocket artillery, laser target designator pistol and rifle, artillery barrage beacon.
_improved the effects of the apocalypse laser
_reverted the missile turret back to the old design

and once again, fear the mighty quack...

Oh duuude, the rocket artillery is THE ♥♥♥♥.

Man, I guess this is what I wanted to see in the classical bomb-strike flares/lasers, we rarely ever see from where they are shot, we just see things falling.

Now we can see this thing making some awesome barrages.

The rocket artillery seems to have a mind of it's own. And likes to shoot it's own team.

edit: And the designator pistol seems to consistantly keep draining from 5000 after it's fired once.

It doesn't aim at your troops, but as the rokets take a long time to reach their destination friendly fire is possible, they also may aim at enemies near your troops, killing both.


That's a countdown that shows you when you can designate a new target, as a target lock lasts 5 seconds, when the count reaches 1 you can designate another target. As the artillery takes 5s to reaload that means a burst will be shot towards each target, once this bust reached its destination you can advance safely(exept if you are in the artillery's auto firing range of 750px, in which case it will automatically target any enemy in this range).

I just figured out why. It was aiming at the dummy underneath the floor in tutorial mission. Disregard what I said.

Ummm... What is quack interference?

On some rare occasions a phenomenon of unknown origin greatly amplifies the apocalypse laser, resulting in even more destruction, this phenomenon causes a noise similar to the quack of a duck a few seconds before the emission of the laser, and therefore it was named quack interference.

Edit: I just updated it with new sprites for the rocket artillery by Kettenkrad, better effects and corrected a bug that prevented it from aiming left.

The artillery is really, really awesome.
Too bad the enemy can drop anywhere they like (due to them ignoring preset areas) so eventually an enemy rocket will park its arse on top of my investment.

I love the sprite outlining update. Looks much better.

The new sprites pushed me to finally download it. Terrific job! I love the artillery with a passion.

Mehman, I think the time between volleys of the rocket arty needs to be tweaked, because when they just keep pouring rockets at a dummy 3 floors below, they blocked the way for my clones to advance. Other than that, It's Awesome.

Also, I think I figured out how to change the way enemies spawns. Tried switching a variable in the activities lua code (the "W" variable, particularly) and the enemies will only infiltrate your spawn points every 100 flights (if your spawn area is different from the others').

I thought there was something not quite right with the firing arc - works perfectly now, mass carnage! Great mod buddy.

Thanks, Alex. It's right what I was looking for.

Is it an idea to attach some bunker modules for these things?
They shoot upwards anyway. May as well dig them in.

A pic of what I mean:

(Don't mind the ugliness.)

Now This May Look Irrelevant But Whenever I Try To Load Up MEW It Does This,

But When I Take It Off, It Doesn't.
Thanks

P.S It Says It Can't Load Coalition Missile.wav
