Some new features that arma 2 will allow us to do.

Posted by on

OK .. SO what would I LIKE to See in WH40K-II?

I would like to see HIVE Cities.
I did some Hives on the OFPWH40K Armageddon 2 Map, but was not really satisfied with them. :-/

I started to make NEW Hives for Armageddon 3 Map .. but still Not really what I wanted.
I know the Limits of a Building is 64m x 64m x 128m tall ... this is good to go, But a REAL HIVE per say is many many MANY Meters Tall.
SO I will have to limit it to 128m tall , yeah yeah I know there are tricks to the trade to make 256 meters tall and if not taller... But I will stay with 128m's .

Here is some concept work I am doing ..
(** Bare in mind - these are not final - **)

The walls are 50 meters Tall, and about 50 meters wide on the outer edge.
ALL Buildings are HIGH Poly Models, the final (if I go with any of these) will be LOW Poly **Of Course**.
Image #3 and #10 show man units for Scale. They are Standard 1.8 meters tall.
With the Event of LARGE Wh40K Vehicles, I have plans for 50 meter wide streets, The Lite BLUE squares are 40m x 40m with a 10 meter white sidewalks ... yeah yeah .. who the hell makes 10 meter wide sidewalks ... WELL the World of 40K does ... :P

Currently I have a BASE size of 20m x 20m x 5 meters tall per floor (** this could change **), and I have a smaller W x L x 10 meters tall (sorry I did not write down the width or length) - Needless to say it's smaller then 20x20 meters.

I have some "Enter-able" buildings that would be 2 to 5 story's tall, as I really do not Know the Poly count of said building if it was More then 5 Stories.

Some of you might be asking ... "What about Air units Crashing into the Taller Buildings ... ?"
Well for AI .. Don't make them go Near the Taller Buildings .. as for Players .. Learn How to FLY ...

I really Do not know how these Buildings will work in A2 .. I know of some Buildings that are 100m + but by default, I think 5 stores is the Tallest that A2 has. ( I could be wrong) ^o)

End Vox Transmission !

You can't make hive cities in this game, unless you can make cities that are kilometers tall and tens of kilometers wide even larger, so I think you should stick with normal cities/towns...

These are concept images. WE are not that stupid nobody can fully replicate a true hive city in any game engine. But we will try.

Even though it will be a while to get there, but will you feature the newer units such as Baal Predators and Stormravens?

sorry for the LATE reply ...

as with the First OFP mod .. Units went fast once we had permission to use DoW models..

but saying that, the A2 mod will be all scratch Built Models, and it will be some time b4 we have all the models in game that we want.
time will tell when such vehs will be in game

HUMM for some reason My Reply to you Question was Removed ..

Yes to your Question "Baal Predators and Stormravens" Will be in Game at Some Point.

A2 have a Much Better Veh set up then OFP in way that Thunderhawks and Valkyries and other Air Units of VTO will act more like VTO's instead of Helos ..
:D

Take a look at Take on Helicopters, but BI. City of Seattle on the Arma 2 Engine (modified though). They have larger skyscrapers.

Just a heads up before you post for "wanting arma 3" Well the simply issue atm is the fact that modeling tools for Arma 3 have NOT been released. Atm you can only port from arma 2. There will not be tools for arma 3 for quite some time.

Perhaps they are waiting until they release the new map 'Tanoa' sometime in 2016?
Suppose to come with new campaigns, as well...

the buildings should work fine, and maybe even bigger, if you build modular floors you can just stick em up and up through the sky.

Theres a few ways i can think of that may or may not work, including "attachTo" and using a height in the INIT line of the building (not in visitor3). There may also be other options in Visitor3 (not played with that yet).

Its just single objects cant exceed X size(or you just pass through it i think).
Like the aircraft carrier by default in arma2, it is made of many sections, and don't move. It's essentially several buildings stuck side on. I see no reason you cant go as high as aircraft fly...
Ill have a test soon and see what i can do. Iv already stacked 2 buildings up and it worked fine(A platform quite high, with a 3 story building then put on top of that).

"Like the aircraft carrier by default in arma2, it is made of many sections,"

You Are 100% Right.
That Trick as it stands now is about the only way one will get tall Buildings in game.

It's The Same trick As in OFP.
