[Chicken Plucker]

(26/03/2018) All progress reports moved here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=40519.0

Checklist:
Special Air Service:
UKSF outfits unfinished, needs new coding.

Royal Army:
Outfits and weapons are done. Needs coding.

Royal Marines:
Outfits and weapons are done. Needs coding.

Tanks:
Textures are done, needs coding and solve the mechanoid bug issue

Planned features:
- The Royal Army will provide free food rations and clothing, I hope a simple idea like this will not need C#
- Three main branches of the British military- I just realized I forgot the Royal Navy as I wrote this. Sorry navy
- The SAS
- Royal Marine Commandos
- Royal Army
- MK6 helmets that can't stop bullets even from pistols, why do they wear these again?
- The Osprey body armor
- The SA80 rifle that Heckler and Koch had to sort out because it kept jamming and the M.O.D. didn't want to spend their budget on new rifles that aren't horrible.
- The British Government expending their massive resources helping refugees that their wars created while their Riflemen run around with helmets that can't stop bullets and rifles that jam in hot temperatures while the SAS and Royal Marines do not complain at all and run around with minimal protection and better weapons.

Features not included:
- Royal Navy (sorry mate, no boats)
- Royal Airforce (sorry mate no planes)
- Royal Mail (sorry mate no money for first class post)
- The Queen of England
- Scotland demanding to be independent from the UK, just like old times
- Tea and biscuits
- Football
- Pint of Guinness, Carling, Stella Artois and Coors Light
- Pubs
- The SAS selection that will eliminate and reject 99% of anybody who applies to join because they don't have what it takes, then they aren't allowed to apply again after.
- The fact that almost everybody in the SAS is Scottish
- James Bond

Reworking some bench textures using the vanilla machining table, this will be significant because all the military branches of each country will have their gear in one armorer table. This'll be quite time consuming considering I have to do it for all the three kits I've made along with making new ones.

Current progress, redoing marine corps textures, after that off to fix Spetsnaz.


(New MARSOC super tacticool guy)

Then I will also turn those into factions, but with other branches within their countries supporting them

Your textures look better every day.

No no no please do not let my poor exhausted brain have daydreams about big burly men in camouflage re-enacting scenes from that awful movie

And thank you Dorf, I will remember your words of encouragement as I fall asleep having nightmares relating to camouflage

Then my work here is done.

Then my work here is done.

Aha! But you didn't get salary for this work, therefore it counts as slave labour



Here is a sniper unit type that I have spammed to everybody in order to feed my ego, I will be finishing up this mod soon, just doing optional extra clothing and then I will release the Brits, I hope they do not end up colonizing Rimworld and we end up having to make some kind of declaration after a bloody revolution

I consider it charity work.

Speaking of the S.A.S. here is current progress for the non-counter terrorism unit:


I just found out the "UKSF" has their own fancy uniforms and very expensive gear that the poor Army grunts don't get to have, I am a lot further from release than I thought but any progress is better than none

[Chicken Plucker]

So latest progress, been busier because of university and I now owe three people texture work help. I also owe someone in my church a 3D animation loop.. and I have mods I need to finish.

So far, the current progress on this mod is the Challenger II tank I am working on. (lol it's been challenging, sorry)

I have tried to draw a tank and realized, I am bad at drawing Challenger II tanks, so I took a 3D model and did some photoshop work. Here is what it looks like:



I want to release the US military branches too, but I want to make tanks for them or not release them at all. I know the 3D objects do not look vanilla, but I hope it will come out good anyway due to the fact that Retro Joy mod has a 3D chair. Maybe this will all turn out good, maybe not.

Dorf pls opinion, I need your wisdom on all of this Rimworldery

[tonsrd]

tanks oh dear god what have you done...
rimworld will never be the same

It is a beautiful littlte Tank which looks very Rimworldy in my eyes, though I would like to see some size comparison to the pawns. ( I think it should be slightly larger than a Centipede ).

evil rimworld comment : threads count as feet .. you should remove them 
( don't do that ..  and I hope you removed me from your stress-list

Thanks, though I have to give credit to Sam since it was his OC Tank that originally gave me the inspiration to make tanks, now an APC is available too, coming sometime maybe I dont know after I sort out my life



ASCOD Ulan (Italian make, no British APC was available for 3D)

Thanks Dorf, I am deeply encouraged by your majestic beard and space donut that you managed to eat with a helmet on, I will now have to sort out all mods for A18, I finally have an opportunity to fix the confusing defnames for my early mods

Also, I have to figure out how the new weapon coding works because now I have a wall of error for weapons alone

PS: Forgot to mention, I have to solve the Mechanoid spawning bug with tanks before I carry on, also I have to uhhhm.. Oh yes, I have to mess with the scales to make the tank bigger. Cheers DORFFFFFFFFFF
