That shiny mod that vilifies the use of bloom and edgy lighting since 2010.

Report RSS MOTY Event #2011

This news is regarding the MOTY event update, a special update and what we're up to in the development.

Posted by on

Yeah, the progress is really slowed down in the last couples of week. There are many reasons, daily life, education, unexpected situation and such. I don't know whether this mod is good to others as it is to me or not so I don't hope much about this "MOTY" award but earning it would be another accomplishment I could do of many things I couldn't in my daily life. I'd appreciate any past. present or future supports.

Regardless, I would have post these updates anyway. Consider these as a early gift for upcoming Christmas because I would be in a vacation already during that day.

Video: "Marauder-Calliope & Big Mobs Boom"


This update contains "Marauder-Calliope" which is the 2nd salvage upgrade for Demo's Marauder Tank. You would think that this unit will be over-powered but, the cost and built time of it is adjusted to higher costs so it would be "balanced".

I take no credit of the model in case you think I'm "that" evil - ____ -

That's it? The answer is no, look carefully at Marauder's exhaust vent, the color of smoke change dramatically upon certain conditions such as idle, moving, attacking and such. Not only that this is applied only to Marauder but also any vehicle that has an exhaust vent.

Yet also, the animation of "Toxin Tractor's Aura" (Whether you can see it or not). However, that is an old effect. A new one is just as same as the old one, only it's bigger, glower and color corrected.

Why? Cause the old ones lost during PC breakdown and there is no backup :P
Anyhow, this new one is slightly changed, see it yourself.

Picture: "Mark of Officer-Rank"

See as full screen for maximum visual of the star model, spacing on the top of GLA Officer's head. Also not only for GLA, of course. This applied to every factions. Other details? Detail, the star reflects light as it rotates.

Since there are not many picture, I'd added some more. And maybe more later.

You may asked so many, many times "Why is this taking so long?". This is because my current position is virtually solo (Handle so many codes, effects, maps and such things which are the main change in this coming version). Try make a large mod alone and you'll know what I mean, no offense team members lol. Call me "Blizzard", I'll keep develop the mod until I feel it's "perfect" to set off even if it's 10 years.

You may asked "Why there is no sub factions' appearances?". This is because it's not done yet durr.
"How long?" you asked. Well, x3 approx. :P

In fact, there are many more updates but not visually > . >

Chances:
If there is really any spare time on the mod for me, I'll add some more balancing stuff like AP-Rounds for Gattlings and stuff, flexible upgrades and such. Yeah, you know what I mean > . > (See the update page for any ideas noted or progressions if you're even bothered to). These are probably the last updates of this week so you won't see anymore in a week, more or less, depending.

If you're feel like voting, please do so. I'd appreciated it.

That's how I write things, deal with it :P Confusing? Read it again :P

You've done a great deal to improve ZH.

I just wonder about the Marauder model.
I know you haven't taken any credit but...
Have you asked SWR team (since I remember that it's from Shockwave mod) for the permission to use it?

If not, then you should ask them.
I don't want SWR fans to report a mod of my fellow countryman for taking model without permission and ask modDb to shut you off.

Foreigners take Intellectual Property issues VERY SERIOUSLY.

Yes be very careful about that... or make a similar model yourself very quickly and replace it before there is trouble.

Shutting down or not, I'm still not the one who lost the profits. I'd like to write more but I'm f***ing tired of arguing. Think for yourself "Is this really worth it?".

I won't talk any further about this, it's annoying.

Well The_Hunter already knows about this mod, and it appears he doesn't care.

Still, you should consider making your own models or at least stop showing off Shockwave's models.

It is very annoying to us older modders who have been taught at a very young age that stealing models is bad, and that the mod owners have the right to not give you their models if they don't want to.

In the end it's not about fame it's about respect. And since mods are free, respect is the only thing we have going for us. Let us have THAT at least....

Yeah. Enough with the ShockWave stuff already! Half of ShockWaves models are public models, and TheHunter edited them. I am more bored of ShockWave now because I dont feel they bring up any "new" stuff in each update. The only reason Im keeping it is because of my YT fans. Grangers tomahawk has been in UN-EDITED since v.0.93, and it still looks weird. Even though it looks good, have nice effects, I did not vote for ShockWave this year. It has won so many times, and TheHunter (IMO) is a very sselfish person, only caring about his own mods. HE HAS NOT EVEN MADE AN UPDATE FOR ROTR IN TWO YEARS! God, ARRRRGGGGHHH!!! Wow, that felt soooo good to get out of me, wrawr!
