It sucks that this can't safely arty upon enemy AGT and Obby's, otherwise this'd be a truly reliable arty unit. Instead it's basically a paper-armored missile launcher that is only mainly effective against both infantry and aircraft. Against tanks, it's practically like serving them on a silver platter for them, so yeah... DX

Will do, thanks and keep up the great work! :)

I think it has something to do with the game reading the original art's meta then loading the mods art but then restricting the art to the vanillas meta file, but not 100% on that one. Yeah just post it in the Discord

Thanks for the clarification, I just thought I might have unintentionally come across as bossy by just writing two comments with the real-world volumetric dimensions of the vehicles. I can dig through the Tiberian Dawn .DLL file and see if I can find where the code restricting the size of unit art assets is. If I find it, I'll post it in this mod's "Discussions" section instead of the front-page comments. :)

128 * 128 isn't the maximum size but it is for these units, the larger units have larger sizes, say the Medium tank is 192 * 192. At this point I still haven't had much luck making units that are larger than the units they are replacing, seems to be something hardcoaded but I'll find it soon enough.

I appreciate the interest in my work and any and all forms of comments and criticisms are welcome. If I'm in the wrong and it either gets pointed out or I notice it myself, I'll happily admit my mistake. So to that end no offence was taken.

Your comment is part of this process or reinforcing why some things are the way they are and hey it could have been something that could have been improved and I missed it so there's no harm in pointing it out. C&C has these quirks and scale is just one of those, but I'll fudge them where I can to make the best of what we can do.

128 x 128 pixels is the maximum image dimensions of all unit sprites in C&C: Remastered? I would've thought it was at least 512x512 pixels. I'm not trying to tell you how to make your mod and not trying to be pedantic. I was just trying to offer some help with the unit scale dimensions as I thought you were aiming to increase the accuracy of the unit proportions. So, no offense was intended and I support and respect your hard work. Thanks and I'm always looking forward to your next mod! :)

It doesn't at all, because it's a game and not reality, so scale isn't going to be accurate and both units have to fit in a 128 * 128 image.

I'll be following the game's scale for these.

HMMWV Volume: 23.118 m³
M270A1 Volume: 54.029 m³

So, the real M1151A1 HMMWV has 42.8% of the volume of the M270A1 MLRS, thus the M270A1 MLRS model in your mod should have 2.3 times the volume of your M1151A1 HMMWV model. Hope this helps! :)

M1151A1 HMMWV Dimensions:
Length: 4.93 meters, Width: 2.31 meters, Height: 2.03 meters.

M270A1 MLRS Dimensions:
Length: 6.97 meters, Width, 2.97 meters, Height: 2.61 meters (missile rack lowered)
Height #2: 5.92 meters (missile rack elevated to maximum height)

There's a few adjustments to the details and texturing. The scaling should be about right, but it's the hard coded placement of the rear pod that needs adjusting as well as the perspective shifted from 45 to 40.

Can't wait to see what it looks like next to your other new models when this is scaled properly. :)

Hehe, this ones just about to get updated againXD

Thanks for another excellent vehicle replacement mod! :)

nice model, i agree, it could use to be a bit bigger

that would be nice

I was thinking of making it so that each of the countries has their own versions of the light and medium tanks, probably wouldn't have two Leopards as the light and Medium tank though as that would be slightly confusing, but am considering the Leopard 1 as the German medium tank.

Reguesting Leopard 1 as light Tank and Leopard 2A5 as Medium Tank for Red Alert. Your work is amazing dude. I Have no idea how to mod these units, so I ask a professional.

EA should honestly consider your work.

Your modeling is far superior to the originals.

You are on the right way. :-)
The chassis is great. I think the tanks could be a little bit bigger. The flamethrowers are a little longer than the driver's compartment.

The danger symbol must still be on it. And maybe the complete tank in a neutral camouflage color and only the accents (fan, gas pipe, symbols, driver's compartment) in the teamcolor ...... or everything in the teamcolor or the gas tanks in a dark gray camouflage or, or, or. :-)

I have full confidence in your abilities.

nice, but model need some little big?

Thank you for the reply! Looking forward to it!

Definitely will be doing the RA ones as well. I have mostly finished the Jeep (just need to do the driver) and the Arty will get an update before I bring that across as well. I think for the most part I'd finish all of the TD units first which won't take too much longer now.

May I ask, will you at some point touch up Red Alert as well? Your models are of very high quality and at the same time don't deviate from the artstyle whatsoever. I owuld love to see what you could do to Soviet and Allied tanks.

@KeimFrei, a little sneak peak if you will https://www.moddb.com/mods/cncr-graphics-overhaul/images/flame-tank-wip-a

The shadow's there, it's just really faint, I think I turned the contrast down on this one and that's probably whats done it, will fix shortly.

Regarding shadows though the rack still wont have one even when the base does, that is until I fix it up in the source.

Vehicle is crewed by vampires, no shadow lol

Love your work, Mortecha! Looking forward to seeing more of it! :3

You know, i always keep forgeting, that the GDI even has the MLRS.
Feels kind of out of place for them to have Siege weapons.

@ Mortecha: many thanks for your response. This is not a problem for me. I can wait for it. The reason for all this information is because in the past a lot of modders have not modded it as nicely and authentically as in the mod CnC3TW Tiberian Dawn or Tiberian Insurrection. This version came very close to the original.

Remember the links in comments of your Abrahms and Bradley mod, they are very close on the authentic original.


I can only say it over and over again: You are doing an excellent job, really impressive
Thank you for modding with so much attention to detail

@KeimFrei: the Flametank is alittle bit down the list, but is coming soon. Regarding the missile rack not being centered, that will be fixed when I create a modified .dll to fix how it's implemented, as stated in the description.

@Cold Stone Austing Steve: Thanks man:)

Love your stuff dude!

But i see a bug. In the front and rear of that MLRS is the rocketholdingsystem not in a middle of that vehicle. You know what i mean?!

You do a really fantastic job, Mortecha. :) I'm really impressed. As soon as the
Devil's tongue is there, you will receive a small donation for your work as promised. :-)
