Copping this mod once it releases

bright vine
#

I've been working on it all weekend

#

I just cant figure out the stupid dynamic textures for the turret

#

It uses the same methods/structure as the Tiger Tank and the type93, but I updated the script to align the MG with the main gun and to improve the handling

vivid lion
#

Interesting

#

Will there be modifications for the tank?

#

Like a spiked plow

bright vine
#

none yet I'm pretty new to modding PZ this was a pretty Easy build as I just took the model from the Military Enviroment Addon and the scripts from the tiger tank and kinda mashed them together

vivid lion
#

Ah

bright vine
#

I gotta do a blood texture for when you run over zombies as well still

vivid lion
#

You should

#

Have you done the wrecked texture?

bright vine
#

Yeah it has a wrecked texture with the model

vivid lion
#

Thats cool

bright vine
#

I got the MEA because its a requirement for the m113 mod

#

and had these tanks all over the place, great models, but wanted to drive them lol

vivid lion
#

When do you think you'll be done with this mod??

#

I should upload at least the basic one next weekend

#

Even if I dont figure the texture swaps quite yet. basically I have to write a function that reads what the current tank texture is and then apply that to the turret

vivid lion
#

Got it👍 thanks

bright vine
#

worst case is I dont figure it out and when the tank gets wrecked the body is destroyed and the turret stays the same lol

quartz kite
#

have u made a rusty texture for it too im a big fan of like rusted mili vehicles

#

especially the further in the gameplay

bright vine
#

yeah there is a super rusty texture for it

quartz kite
#

lit 🔥 this is awesome man

bright vine
#

this isn't mine its from the MEA pack, I just made it driveable, but the assets are great

quartz kite
#

this will be fun as hell in mp worlds with friends it looks awesome

bright vine
#

I can make it do damage to other players as well lol

#

but yeah it works really well from testing. I turned off ammo consumption and killed the whole map lol

quartz kite
#

does it even have any weaknesses

bright vine
#

nope, so it uses allot of fuel and usually it uses allot of ammo. So its basically really good, but takes allot of resources to run

quartz kite
#

thats a fair enough tradeoff tbh i like that

#

and pretty realistic to what you’d expect from a tank in an apocalypse

bright vine
#

yeah I still might play with the fuel consumption but ammo wise you basically press the fire key and it'll use 4 308 rounds up

#

the tank shells are distributed around as well but are pretty rare

quartz kite
#

i just hope it tears through burnt cars with ease since i frequent that intersection where the bridge over the river is

#

be nice to clear that without needing 20000 propane things

bright vine
#

It'll push cars but if you got a few stacked up it get bogged down

#

You can definitely use it to nudge cars out of the way though, especially since it has so much health

quartz kite
#

delightful

#

i just need one lane to be maneuverable in a car bigger than a 2 seater bmw

bright vine
#

Ayyye I figured it out

#

Was super easy actually, so I guess you can specify a skin on an object template before it's even added to the main vehicle, (either that or it just assumes the main skin when you delete the texture path) either way what this means is I can change the color of the tank dynamically now

#

I already play tested and using a debug tool was able to change the entire tank turret and all to various camo patterns while in game

quartz kite
#

hell yeah thats awesome

bright vine
#

I posted it pics in a new showcase post

#

I have some bag models from the m113 mod. I might add them as an attachment like hang alice packs off the back end of the tank for an added storage option. I want to reduce the seats down to 4 and decrease the capacity of the seats as well. Basically another trade off is not much internal storage so it forces the player to stay on the outside of the tank to put away the loot. Meanwhile, it is 10 times as loud (zombie attraction value) than a normal car. So yes you are basically invincible inside the tank but say you run out of ammo and gas you will have a huge hoarde outside the tank at that point

woah looks cool, i would probably try it out lol
