I think it's perfectly sized. It isn't as big as you think it is, only the size of Glacier Flying. In other levels, assuming you've lost vehicle production, you have to run across barren landscapes to attack the enemy base. In Fjord you can use the terrain to your advantage and pass through almost unnoticed.
|
It just looks and feels much bigger then glacier flying.

What hill are you talking about? The one with the second road? It's meant to be traversable... There are three primary ways of attacking: The overland road, the middle road, and the river.
|
Come out of the strip turn right about 30 degrees and go up the hill (as if you was going round the mountain but the long way) do this with a recon bike and it will flip cos you have put a blocker there but you can't tell you have until its too late.

Grenadier alt-fire can be changed, but we'd need more players to test it.
|
Ok great... I do think they're a little over powered.
| Aircraftkiller wrote on Tue, 06 September 2011 16:28 |
The Mammoth turret uses the same settings as the original Mammoth. I'm not changing it.
|
Well I don't know how to explain it maybe its my eyes but the turret seems to move quicker now?

I prevented you from landing on the mountains because I don't want to encourage people "sniping" in prime locations that are inaccessible without helicopters. The only place to do it is the Ore Refinery.
|
Ok it was just a suggestion.

The waterfall plays constantly for me. It's probably not playing for you because your computer might not be up to spec. I'd need to add a vis system to optimize all of the special effects so they consistently play instead of being hidden by Renegade when there's too much on screen.
|
I doubt its my computer specs...It played the one time and just stopped. I was still near the waterfall when it stopped.

I was playing online on the 4.0 server and didn't lose any of the special effects. Besides, the waterfall itself can't disappear since it's a mesh... The particles might disappear when you look at them at certain angles, but otherwise I'm not sure what the issue is. I can't see it on my end, and I have the same copy you're running.
|
I think caveman meant that the sound of the waterfall dissapeared after it played 1 time (the sound didn't loop), I don't think the meant the waterfall completely dissapears lol

I would recommend giving transports heavier armor and more speed, so that they are actually useful, not just a flying coffin.

Already covered it. I believe I mentioned it earlier too. This is the change-list I created in the readme.txt file for it.
Here's the change list:
GDI Grenadier has an alt-fire. It fires a triple-burst but takes longer to fire than the regular fire.
GDI Orca now only has missiles. It fires six before it must reload. It no longer takes major damage from Ramjet Rifles. It now costs 1,200 credits.
GDI Transport Helicopter has had its speed improved. It carries five passengers now, instead of four. It no longer takes major damage from Ramjet Rifles, and its credit cost is now 1,500 credits.
GDI Medium Tank now uses the beta model that I've modified and made to look more like an M1 Abrams. It also has moving wheels.
GDI Mammoth Tank has extended missile range, but the missiles do less damage to armored targets. Use cannons against vehicles and structures primarily. It also has a new model that's 99% accurate to the original Tiberian Dawn model, which I've built and painted myself.
GDI MRLS now has a rotating turret, but costs 800 credits. I've modified it so that it has wheels and a muzzle emitter when it fires.
GDI/Nod Rocket Soldier Officer and GDI Gunner have homing missiles, which are useful against airborne units. They also have a triple-burst alt-fire that's inaccurate at range, but incredibly lethal up close. Keep away from them if you can.
Nod Recon Bike was added. It moves very quickly but is also incredibly weak and can be destroyed easily. Take them out at long range, but beware their missile attack.
Nod Apache now fires shotgun-like rounds which have considerable range and damage everything. It no longer has missiles. Its cost was increased to 1,200 credits to compensate for the extra damage and lack of vulnerability to Ramjet Rifles.
Nod Flamethrower now has an alt-fire. It will do roughly 250% more damage versus what it did before, but its range was considerably shortened to 15 meters. Primary fire is unaffected by this change. Do not let them come close to you or get inside structures.
The GDI AGT only fires a pair of Tomahawk missiles now. It has custom-built Guard Towers for machine gun defenses.
The Nod Obelisk cannot attack airborne units as its laser diffuses in the atmosphere. As a result, Nod SAM Sites have been installed at the Nod base. They are incredibly lethal and diffcult to destroy unless they pop-up to attack aircraft, at which point they are vulnerable and easily destroyed.
The Advanced Communications Center controls team radar and beacon purchases. If destroyed, GDI can no longer buy Ion Cannon beacons and their radar is terminated.
The Shrine of Nod provides spiritual guidance for Nod and houses nuclear missiles. If destroyed, Nod can no longer buy nuclear beacons.
The Nod Communications Center controls Nod team radar. If destroyed, Nod's radar no longer operates.
The Construction Yards repair structures at the rate of roughly what an Engineer would. Destroy them to make base destruction easier. They cannot repair themselves.
Tiberium Silos add an additional 2.5 credits per second. Destroy them with C4 explosives for additional damage, or any other weapon to hamper credit flow.
Repair Facilities provide essential vehicle repairs in times of base assault, if a vehicle is parked on it and occupied. Destroy them with C4 explosives for additional damage, or any other weapon to hamper automatic vehicle repairs.

I might lower the Flame Tank damage a bit by 25% or so. It's very formidable right now, even without a turret. It also has a custom version of the original flame emitter so that it looks wider and more menacing.

I've got new sounds for the tanks. I looked through the library of sounds that I grabbed from my college before I graduated and I found a lot of interesting things:
The original Tiberium sound, which is already in Fjord.
The bird sounds from the TD MCV deployment video, which are already in Fjord.
I also found the original tank cannon sounds. They're part of a larger file related to a howitzer firing several times over the course of a minute. I'll isolate the specific sounds that each tank used and give it to them, replacing the Renegade sounds.
Also, I fixed the fir trees so they have more of a "branch" look and less of a "huge leaf" look.
Before:
After:
They're a little more desaturated. I also desaturated the main grass texture to match them.

Are you gonna replace the AGT missile launching sound with the TD one like you said you were thinking about?

Not only that, we rushed the Obelisk with two Mammoths and we got ambushed by a Stealth tank hiding to the left of us, which I've never seen happen before. Recon bikes can use their speed and range to harrass Mammoth Tanks while hiding in the bushes and they can get close to an MRLS and destroy them without the MRLS being able to respond. The new Flame Tank allows for breaking up GDI attacks (our two MRLS shelling the Nod base got unexpectedly attacked by one and we went down in no time).
The improved MRLS and the Mobile Artillery with lobbing shells make the game more challenging. Instead of simple getting Technicians + Mobile Artillery and automatically winning because of their insane fire power and the fact that Technicians repair really quick, you now need to know how to handle the arc on the shells which makes fighting against them with MRLS a lot of fun and it gives them more of a weakness against GDI's main tanks. Watching the Artillery shell the GDI base with arcing projectiles is great to watch.

Well, that's almost incorrect. The only vehicles that snipers damage now are Recon Bikes, Humm-vees and Buggies. That's it.
|
I was more concerned about infantry, and maybe artillery.
Seems like it'd be really easy to camp behind a tree in 3rd person IMO.
