This mod is for all the players frustrated with the cartoony nature of Zero Hour units and buildings. We intend to replace every fanciful unit in Zero Hour with its closest possible real world equivalent, without changing the unit's capabilities.

Description
New version of rocket buggy. Replaced old BM-21 with improvised rebel variant. Note: this one looks way better in fullscreen.
On the right is "normal", on the left is rocket upgrade. Just to make it clear again to everyone, all screenshots you see posted here will be in v0.5

btw i like this rocket buggy...
:3...
sorry guys for being annoying...
i'm just so inspired to be able to make models like this someday...
really sorry...
this guy PMed me because i'm his inspiration, he wants to be a good 3d artist just like me someday.
he is a new guy in here. he sent me a message about modeling tutorial, instead of refusing him, i replied and gave him some modding & modeling advice.
doctorheredoctor is also my inspiration...
actually she's the first one to reply to my messages...
and i thank her for that...
it's just that you guys are so amazing!!...
and i love your mods!!...
:)...
she?
as far as we know doctorheredoctor is gender-neutral... he could be anything behind his avatar :o
heh modeling isn't that hard to get used to. Texturing... shudder... that takes effort.
thats awesome^^
I like the idea with the changing look, when running over savage parts, and upgrades too, so i was thinking, what about doing it with all GLA vehicles, or at least those with upgrades. I know it will take alot of work, but the idea with the Quad Cannon gave me those thoughts, and it would be epic to see the change when doing so.
already am?
right rocket 10?? left 8??
12 rocket upgrade.....
Oh and I.imgur.com
Why all this awesome models have so bad textures when they are put in the game? I mean even the original textures looks kinda better than this.
They're not bad, they're just realistic and don't have too many "separation" lines like the vanilla ones for example (tanks made of huge "scrap" plates etc.). Those lines look crappy and unrealistic, but ingame they stand out and add to the "cartoony" look.
because the 10-years old engine munches the textures heavily so that only the sharpest and boldest details remain to be seen.
I.imgur.com Google search mipmaps
I know, but in other mods (CWC, ROTR, Untitled) new textures looks good even from afar.
Well then I guess this mod sucks and you should complain about it and not play.
though I'm no longer a Generals moder, there is a way to prevent texture-munching. IIRC it's either making mip maps manually or not doing them at all (dds settings). That's the whole trick. We achieved fairly good results at this old mod: Moddb.com
Funny how some people want this and then the other 50% complain of lag.
inspiration: at least some use from all this mess going in Libya\Syria
Libya was actually why I started VRM.
[conspiracy theory mode one]: so VRM development was originally sponsored by Gaddafi? :D
i really like this it is a great design what model truck is it that you used
quasi jeep cherokee pickup
Holy $@#% Bro! What are those? It looks like old rocket arty. Inaccurate but damm will they ruin your day if they get it right. (From Battlefield 3)
why not taking BM-21 Grad?
Because it's a big and heavy truck
Damn you're taking this into whole nother level
This is a much better replacement.
The Grad wasn't a fast hit and run vehicle like the buggy.
Nice... :)
Awesome, I was waiting for this! Good work *thumb up*
okay, how do this thing worked when doing hit-n-run attack? clearly this is like Toyota pickup that doesn't had off road capability....
It explodes when you go off-road
ohh yeah thi is nice^^
My fave model in this mod. Much better than the rocket buggy in the actual game. Great job
Here are pictures of the real-world 'Light Grad' BM-21P:
