Renegade Alert Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV) [message #118807]

The Mobile Construction Vehicle was the key to winning the battles of WWII. Soviet and Allied armies utilized them to create fire bases on the front lines, allowing for rapid deployment of troops and vehicles needed to reinforce positions and continue the war effort. Ultimately this proved to be most successful for the Allies as their ability to entirely cloak their bases with Gap Generators, and being able to hide their MCVs with Mobile Gap Generators allowed them to set up in positions not even a mile away from Soviet fortifications and battle lines - effectively slicing their balls off from behind without ever being detected.

The model was done by Sir Phoenixx, and everything else including the bridge was done by myself. The bridge is making an appearance in Super Bridgehead, the reincarnated form of the original Red Alert game level that appeared in the Counterstrike expansion pack.

its not bad, but kinda pointless creation in Renegade, i mean, what you gonna do, buy one and drive it around?

i can see some SP things involved with it, or a "defend the convoy" type scenario, but im just not excited about it cause its pretty much just eye candy.

Ok. How will it actually role in the game of RenAlert? I mean I dont see the ability to construct a new base "not even a mile away", so how will it actually function?

If memory serves, wasn't there a game mode being planned to "protect the MCV" or the like?

The front is too big. It should be smaller like in the reference.

It will be used in single player missions and assault multiplayer matches.

Title: Vehicle Upgrade: Mobile Construction Vehicle(MCV) Posted By: Espion on Oct 6 2004, 05:55 PM

The MCV was the most important Structure in Red Alert. When you needed on in the worst way, there was always reinforcements on the way escorting one to you in the battlefield. Or in the case of the allies, one could be Chronoshifted to your location.

Sir Phoenixx has upgraded our Mobile Contruction Vehicle with much more detail than before. Aircraftkiller also completely retextured it.

The MCV will not be purchasable in Multiplayer, although it will be very valuable in the Single Player campaign. It may however make appearances in certain Multiplayer modes, such as Assualt Mode. Just remember, no matter where you see a friendly MCV, make sure to protect it at all costs!

Well since I dont visit the RenAlert forums, maybe the usage of this vehicle should have been posted along with the pictures and a manual-type description of it.

Shouldn't the front be sloping inwards a bit?

It's could be like a new version of the "beacon the pedistol". Could be "destroy the MCV" instead. Or perhaps it could count as a building. So technically, you could hide somewhere in the level and still manage to win the game. That would make it essential for turning tables in a game. Smile

Front should be smaller and the wheels larger aswell.
The textures also a bit dull, needs more variation.

The skin [texture map] could use some work on the details, but it is an improvement over the other one.

And one more thing, the brick textures on your bridge don't match up correctly. But that's somewhat minor.

It has no skin, and saying "it needs more detail" means about as much as "you must care about what I ate for dinner last night." Explain what is needed or don't bother giving me vague generalizations. I added everything that was on the MCV with even more that wasn't there.

You still need to sharpen the details out a bit on the greyish hump thing on the back of the truck. First time in a while I've seen something that looks cel-shaded comng from you.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Inaccurate model.

Look at the pic :

http://dynamic6.gamespy.com/~renalert/forum/uploads/post-7-1096960639.jpg

Wheels bigger, main front part less wide... Pretty bad sizes...

You don't have to change the texture but from my point of view : most of it looks like plastic, more details than a plain grey and green texture would be better. Just scale some parts and it will be ok.

And the tires are different. Why do you still use the wheels of Nod Renegade Supply truck ? having problems making new wheels ?

Retardin, it doesn't look like plastic. Just because he uses that insult on your textures, doesn't mean that you get to say it about the RenAlert team. The truth is, your textures DO look like plastic.

I overall liked it and say that it doesn't need a change unless you want it to be almost exactly like the picture. And in the case of making it look exactly like it, the model is unproportional. The wheels should be bigger, the hood should slant down, and the front should be smaller.

whoa.

The hood does slant down.

In the Red Alert movie of it driving through snow it shows the hood almost as wide as that, I never seen that image with it on the bridge until he made the bridge scene.

The only thing wrong with the model is that the wheels are slightly too small (and the hood probably needs to be a little smaller).

Comparing it to the picture, the hood should be more angled (less "square", more "triangular")...the hood in the one in the picture is wide near the windshield base, and is less wide in the front (I have actually seen a truck that looked just like this and the hood looks like the one in the first pic). Also the tires need to be larger/fatter like the ones in the first pic.

Thats about all I could find "wrong" with it, It's a good model, I was strictly comparing it to the vehicle in the first picture.

The front is too big. It should be smaller like in the reference.

Also, the grill in the front should be much smaller too.

The support post on the topside of the bridge. Why are the tops of the posts covered in bark? You should also remove some of the top support post altogether and space them out to line up with the support post under the bridge.
