I guess it's because of Alex that you're using the wrong symbol to represent the 3rd Reich? Might as well use a kielbasa to represent Poland.

That aside, those are neat sprites and I'm really curious to see where you're taking this mod.

That's the exact reason I'm not using a nazi swastika. That and people overall are sensative about it.

Reading through your prototype thread now. I wasn't sure at first but this looks awesome. I'd be happy to help out with it if there happened to be anything you needed a hand with.

What I'm most curious about right now is how you're going to sort out the background, nebulae and asteroids. Is it possible for a sufficiently large background to stay static? Can you tell asteroids to sit still?
Title: Re: Tankfarer - WWII Mod
Post by: Erick Doe on May 20, 2012, 04:25:43 AM
Yes a background can stay static. I might change nebulae to forests, or remove them if that doesn't work out. Asteroids will be structures. Though if I can't stop their movement, they will be changed to either civilian vehicles, cattle (imagine cows running across a field in panic) or removed.

Just thought of two things that'd be easy to pull off in Starfarer.

Nebelwerfer, Katyusha and the Mattress. Attempts at modern, medium range rocket artillery. German, Russian and American, respectively.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebelwerfer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebelwerfer)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_rocket_launcher)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattress_(rocket) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattress_(rocket))

Also, since it'd be such a trivial thing to do with the way Starfarer works, someone somewhere has to dual wield.

Wasn't it General Patton who kept a pair of Colt revolvers?

Have you tried using World of Tanks models and paint on top of it, im sure it will make your work alot more easier, thanks for your work.

Also i remember someone did something about WW2...

Post by: maffo on May 20, 2012, 10:48:00 AM
Its not a modified Norwegian flag in any way, this is the flag the german army used during ww2. Just search balkenkruez  and you will see them.

EDIT: placed next to each other they dont even look the same at all, different color, different positioning and style of the cross. Its like saying the french took the dutch flag and that you are offended about that:). Flags are a lot of the time very similar, you'll have to deal with it.

-flame/offence prevention duty done, maffo out.

Small. About frigate sized. Some are a bit bigger though.

A preview of a Polish light tank next to a Panzer IV. Both equipped with turrets mounts. The Panzer IV has track and turret skirts. (I'll add custom hull upgrades btw)

Ignorance here, but are you planning to add

Jagdpanther, Jagdpanzer, Jagdtiger, King Tiger, Tiger, Matilda, Matilda MK 2 etc.?

Saw the last running Tiger tank in the world a few weeks ago. Pretty scary.

Eventually. I am doing early to mid units first, so I can do the invasion of Poland, the low countries etc.

Later on I'll add the late WW2 era units. I want to get a basic game going, once that's done I can focus on adding more stuff.  ;)

[edit]
That was an answer to X4R3H :P

Keep your money, a playable version will come your way soon enough. ;)

Hah! Thanks Upgradecap (I think).  :D


Here's my to-do list before I can release a playable version:
-Add Zünndapp motorcycle (you know, the one with the side-span)
-Add supply truck for both Germans and Polish.
-Add at least one proper armored car with turret for Germans
-Edit beacons to look like capturable strongpoints like bunkers/ villages
-Add Polish names. Already got over 50 German character names.
-Set up and test out infantry squads (fighter squadrons)
-Make more gunfire sounds
-Background music
-New UI
-Custom hull modifications

And after that's all done and an initial version is released:
-Add more missions, taking place chronologically throughout WW2
-Add more factions, starting with the Dutch (conquest of the Netherlands)
-Add more units for Germans

Depends on the squad type. We can have 3 in an MG squad, for example. And maybe 5 in a grenadier/ infantry squad. And 2 in a panzerfaust/ bazooka squad.

And you'll need to bring along support vehicles like trucks and APCs to supply your infantry and your tanks. As they are the only vehicles offering extra room for troops and supplies. Basically, support vehicles supply, and infantry/ tanks use.

Post by: rada660 on May 21, 2012, 09:33:35 AM
yup next should be the Russian, as they are one the main faction that were fighting the German.

Then secondly id vote for Japanese, to at least add a second faction for the axis.

well while at it, since japenese would be done, how bout USA since their man war was vs japanese ( well... mainly was naval warfare, but there was still those island with the marines )

then make Italy, the third faction of the axis

and to complete the 3 v 3

add the british forces for the allies faction...

so pretty much its would be : british, russian and USA vs japan, italy and german

tbh poland would more be side faction, just like french ( which i think you should do last :) )

those 2 tbh would be enemy to german and italy only, not japan

but would be considered neutral to allies ( and not friendly ) well maybe the french could be considered friendly, but poland neutral :P

New unit sprites:

Panzer IV chassis:

(http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af343/erick_doe/Starfarer/Tankfarer%20-%20WWII%20Mod/75mmKwK40_Mount_Final.png)
7.5cm KwK40 tank mount. Fine mount for a Panzer IV. Though the Panzer IV can also fit lighter mounts. In fact, the Panzer IV was designed to provide support to infantry and Panzer III's. The Panzer III was meant to fulfill the role of anti-tank tank. While the Panzer IV would be fitted with a lighter gun, more focussed on infantry support. However, in the field the roles were quickly reversed, as the Germans needed a tank with a more powerful gun, and the Panzer IV's turret proved better suitable for fitting a more able gun than that of the III.

Schützenpanzerwagen: (can mount a light tank turret)
(http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af343/erick_doe/Starfarer/Tankfarer%20-%20WWII%20Mod/Schtzenpanzerwagen_Final.png)

I'm going to try to minimize drifting as much as I can. For one, the vehicles will by quite slow. And I'm not sure if mass is going to affect drifting, or if it simply determines which unit can push what unit out of the way. Anyway, it'll take some trail and error.

spaceships and tanks handle in completely different ways

if you move forward, then hold "A" key a spaceship would spin left while holding the same direction whereas a tank would start moving to the left, then there's the problem of outright strafing in tanks (ctrl + A/D)

Also, just to save you some trouble: mass simply determines which unit pushes which out of the way, and how much damage it does.

How are you going to handle collisions btw? would soldiers be able to crash into tanks?

also when soldiers die do they lie down? or do they just kinda blow up while standing?

In order to get a working version out, I'm now focussing on a campaign through missions, instead of a free campaign mode. So many projects. About time I finish one more.  ;)

Currently working on Danish and Dutch troops. The first "mission" campaign will have the player start as Germany. First few missions will be the conquest of Poland, Denmark and the Netherlands.

Translations are always welcome, in case I mess up the spelling of a certain unit.

One key feature is that follow-up missions will be decided upon if you loose or win a mission. This is, of course, at the player's own discretion. It is possible to cheat and just go for the "victory" mission.
Title: Re: Tankfarer - WWII Mod
Post by: Erick Doe on April 14, 2013, 08:37:20 AM
Currently adding to Poland:

-SMPzA --- A double barreled Polish tank mount develoved in case the Germans fail to immediatly conquer Poland. Giving Poland a better chance of survival in follow-up missions.
-Lesni --- Polish Forest Partisans that show up in case Germany does defeat Poland.

It's called "wz29 Ursus" or "Ursus wz29"

Thanks. I remember thinking it odd that the name was Urses. Considering that Ursus (and not Urses) is a proper latin name meaning 'bear'. But I kept finding sources refering to Urses back then. I can't find them now, so I'll go with 'Ursus'.

"Urses" might have been an attempt at making the word easier to spell for non poles.
I'm 100% sure it should be Ursus tho.

i assume backgrounds will be changed and inertia will be taken off ?

sounds really cool

Backgrounds will be very basic. Inertia will be taken care of one way or the other. Either my reducing actual inertia, or by adding invisible 'nebulae' all over the battlefield.

A cost effective way to quickly move infantry cross country. Especially in one as flat as the Netherlands. No horses to feed and rest, no vehicles to refuel.

Also, the Netherlands placed large orders for tanks and armoured vehicles with other countries. However, these were never delivered in time. Germany actually withheld an order of tanks because they didn't feel like arming a potential enemy.

No ETA yet.

Weaker / lighter troops are cheaper. There's more units for Poland than shown on the OP.

Supply vehicles just supply the army with 'fleet points'. You will need to have a few in your army to keep it going. During a battle you'll have to place your supply units in a safe spot or risk loosing them to combat units. Hospital vehicles will heal your infantry units much like a carrier would.
Title: Re: Tankfarer - WWII Mod
Post by: HELMUT on July 05, 2013, 06:20:55 AM
Supply vehicles as carriers and infantry as wings? Clever. BTW, will you add other type of WWII units? Like planes and ships?

Oh and also, here's some sprites resource that might be useful to you.

How are you going to get around the flight mechanics built into the core game? Having tanks strafing and coasting all over the place would be interesting >.>
Title: Re: Tankfarer - WWII Mod
Post by: Erick Doe on December 24, 2013, 10:58:51 AM
Working on the Panther (Panzerkampfwagen V) and the 7.5 cm KwK 42 gun.

(http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/1panther_yb_Giovanni_Paulli.jpg)

Following the tank I will also create the 7.5 cm Pak 42 (7.5 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 42) artillery piece and probably the Jagdpanzer IV, since they all use the same gun.

 :)


(Yes, progress is insanely slow on this mod. That's why I am going to limit all units to mid 1943.)

I've been thinking about setting a short term goal for this mod. How about something similar to what Uomoz did a long time ago: have people set up armies through a number of points, then I pitch the armies against one another by setting up missions that play out the battles? Of course the battles would be recorded and put on youtube for everyone to watch.

Tankfarer was never abandoned. Progress is just very slooow.  :-X

I've got a lot more units finished than shown on the OP. Including French armour.

Incidently the French are the next faction. Followed by the British, Italian and then American. Factions appear in the order of German expansion.

The campaign skips a few factions for now. In the following order factions are introduced: (skipped nations are mentioned in the campaign but are unlikely to appear as an actual faction)
-German
-Polish
-Danish (skipped)
-Norwegian (skipped)
-Dutch
-Belgian (skipped)
-Luxembourgian (skipped)
-French
-British
-Italian
-American
-Canadian (skipped)
-Soviet
-Finnish (skipped)
-Bulgarian (skipped
-Romanian (skipped)
-Japanese (skipped)

Nations that are likely to appear in limited number: (for example, just an infantry unit or a single tank unit)
-Danish
-Belgian
-Canadian
-Finnish

Should I introduce a Pacific campaign, I'd create full factions for Australians, New Zealanders and Japanese, of course.

I just finished the Dutch, Belgian and French versions of the Renault FT. I love working on the more obscure WW2 vehicles, instead of the well known ones. This is the Marmon Herrington CTLS Tankette: (WARNING: large image)

Spoiler

[close]

It was produced by the US as an export tank. The Netherlands placed a large order, though only 20 were delivered before the start of WW2. It looks similar to the Renault FT and other late WW1 and early WW2 tanks.

I wish there was a way to pre-determine the location of a 'ship' with 0 speed on a mission map. This could allow me to place stationary targets and defenses, such as bunkers and trenches.

Maybe by creating small, thin and concentrated lines of immobile asteroids (with a debris sprite) I can create defensive lines. Stationary objectives will be turned into bunkers and such.

I'd have to test this, but it could allow me to create defensive terrain and defendable objectives in missions. I've already turned nebulae into forests. Those work pretty well. They slow down vehicle movement.
