Mech Starter Kit Update News
by Britt Scott · 10/01/2009 (12:55 pm) · 8 comments
After a long break of not working on the kit, I have returned. Maxim Lyulyukin's Spider Mech is finally making it in. So far, I've got weapons mounting and basic animations done. Some of the animations need to be tweaked. I've also still not been able to figure out why the collisions are not working right... They work fine as a static mesh. Also, need to fix some of the issues that were listed as problems in the readme. Finally, I hope to get pilot/mech mounting working. I'm aiming to get a new release out by christmas, so we'll see how that goes.

At the moment its for TGE. We'll see about T3D. Hoping I can, if I get a big enough tax return. I imagine the models would port over nicely, but I'm not sure about scripting.

You definitely have my sale! I can also help you test in T3D if you wish. Just drop me a line if you don't get T3D by then.

I see that Konrad has already offered to help test in Torque3D -- I'll help too. A few months ago I had already ported the old version of your kit, so I know it will work, very easily at that! I'm sure I've still got that around somewhere, and I'll gladly share some of the 'fixes' that I added.
