A few hours ago I challenged T Beezie to a vehicle mod off. Now everyone is invited to show off their cool vehicle designs. Here is my competitor.
Rules:
Must have pics.
At least three different angles.
Must be a vehicle.
Mod must be related with a vehicle's weapon, skin, or bones.
Must have a patch or must state why it doesn't.

Edit: By request I have lowered the tank turret on the tortoise and changed some properties.
Changes
Primary Fire: Fuel Rod with tank fire
Secondary Fire: A barrage of plasma bolts with carbine sound
No boost
applied a different shader to make it seem more tortoise like.


The Tortoise 2.0!

Let's see what cool wraith you came up with T Beezie. I'm not being sarcastic.

hmmm better yet make it any vehicle as long as it's been mutated in some way? i dont know its your thread and i'm not trying to take it over but we could get an ass load of new vehicles this way.

Well, after the catastrophy with the Scarab Hog, which has been melted down to a boiling puddle of plasma, I thought maybe the Wraith could hold the heat a lil' better. I havn't swapped the projectile yet, still working on that. I'll upload the serenity as soon as I finish the BEAM.
So far here's what I got.

The Tortoise is very clean. Man, that scorpion shader wrapped it up nicely. I likes. I would love to resize that monster, but the only modeling prog. I have is MILKSHAPE, and I have NO IDEA how to use it. :oops:

I like the shadow shader you put on your wraith. it makes it look so robotic.
Edit: you done with that patch. I don't want people to be left drooling fo these vehicles and not be able to get them.

ra1n you might want to lower your tank turret a bit, it kinda hovers

to resize it edit the bounding box in the mode tag. ra1n you can lower it by lowering the minimum and maximum z coords or you can go to the scorpion cannons mode and lower the main bone i think...

that or you can just give it the same size as the wraith turret. Oh and there is only one thing that seems to kill my wraith. when you get right at the side of the wraith you can see that the scorpion turret is floating on the mortar turret's platform.
Edit: dam. someone said it already. I know how to do it. it's just that my brother won't let me inspect it on my xbox. and if I hurt him i lose all my modding stuff.

yeah but i also gave you a solution. :)

you should disable either the boost or the secondary fire (the machine gun) on the tortoise cause both at the same time kinda sucks. also maybe change the explosion from a blue plasma thing to flames. and while your at it change the color of the burst to a reddish color it would match better.

oh yeah and when it explodes chunks of it fly off and those are still purple.

Awesome, thanks for the plugin. I'm going to bed. Gotta be at work at 6:00, man that sux. As soon as I get home tomorrow I'm gonna rip her apart again. You will have the serenity tomorrow. :)

Those look awsome, How would one go about makeing one and changing the skin of it? Don't say search, Its not specific, like if you type in map pack it will list every post with the word map in it
