Less Messy Kitbashes and Multi Structure GRPs

The sword and the faith

Two concepts I'm currently working on are making less messy kitbashes and multi structure GRPs. I was inspired by Chaos Island, a Red Alert style RTS based on Jurassic Park. I wanted to make a topic about this for some time but I've been putting it off because I wanted to have more to show. Unfortunately I only have these two thus far.




My next project is a warehouse complete with crane, barrels and boxes.

I'll use both of those in my next mod if that's okay with you. :O

(Well, actually the factory thingy will be part of a larger structure.)



None.

The bonus level in Chaos Island was awesome.

As are these .grps.



None.

Seriously one of the most under appreciated games of all time.

That is the job of whoever is using them. I do one frame and one frame only. If I'm going to put them into a mod, I have someone do the shadows for me.

They are too similar! But they are still awesome.

The first is simpler for an addon or the like, the second was meant to be more of a structure.

Necro! It lives!

Work in progress:

Need to re-do some stuff, give the crane a base, maybe make the rax a little nicer. Might remove or darken barrels.

Are they even available for use? I am concerned about their image format (JPG, as opposed to BMP or PNG or similar lossless format).

The sword and the faith

Photobucket makes them into JPG, all my work is in 24bit BMP like it should be. I planned on releasing a pack after some time but if you need them sooner just send me a PM.

Okay, all right then; I was just curious. Will do.

If you made them 8bit png it would fit SC's palette already and have lossless compression .. Or just PNG at all.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.
[2026-7-16. : 6:26 am]
NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
