How can I help TAOW get off the ground?

WOW!!!

Don't worry, the interface is generally the same , what will change is that our TAOW Worldbuilder will have tons of great new addons (which will able the mapper to create fresh looking maps with new logics and stuff).

We will make our own Tutorial to name the new inclusions and how to make use of'em (basically every ZH mapper can do a TAOW map).

Too true, coding can be very gratifying (when we manage to do/include what we want to), or a major pain (usually it's a major pain ).

I should be talking to him today so I'll see what I can do. (this whole thing is like eating a double chocolate chip cookie, one nibble at a time! I can hardly stand it!)

He must be using a professional 3D modeling program (those sexy planes for flight simulations are usually done on advanced modeling programs like 3ds Max).

Thanks bro , if we can't find one then we'll have to go ahead with a new major "Aircraft Carrier Program" (by asking other fellow modelers to help us create a new one from scratch, which won't be an easy task due to the carrier's size ).

Jarhead wrote:I really wish I had more info on the game itself, otherwise my suggestions are kind of a stab in the dark. I'm glad we found a way to make infantry swim. If not a Mega Update, can we get some info on the game/game play so as to have some kind of direction as to what might work and what might not. Chances at inclusion in the mod team I am sure are about nil. But what good are we doing otherwise? And how can we, the Non exclusive TAOW "members" help?

Well, at this point, me and Marc are focusing on the V-22 Osprey (tiltrotor aircraft), this model have been giving us a hard time, if we have more trouble with it, then we'll ask our fellow forum members if they know where a free Osprey model is available (we'll have to ask/beg for authorization to the original owner obviously).

Even so, we are still working on it and we may receive some backup for a fellow modeler (Nemesis, he made some really important contributions with some models he had ).

go here then find # 829. Osprey rotors

Its Page 4

Thanks
Me and Marc are focusing on the V-22 model (if we can't manage to create it, then we'll have to ask another modeler to give us permission to use his/her model).

On the coding level, I think we will be able to use our custom "Harrier Logic" in order to make the V-22 rotors moving ("Hover" and "Plane" modes).

The Harrier logic will work to able the american AV-8B Harriers to move from "Hover" to "Jet" Modes.

^^ all good ideas u guys have

i really want to help too but the only way i can help is maybe realism and choose the usable vehicles but thats allready done isn't it

so ... if i can help ^^ pm me or something

greetz

Many thanks

In case we need backup to choose some units we'll contact you

Congragulations James and Tusker, great to see people contributing to help this baby get off the ground. Now lets kick some @$$!

Cheers mate! Welcome back

Unfortunately we haven't released any new major public updates since the "Middle Eastern Front" but we did released a WIP update with extra stuff on the forum member's section, you can check it here.

The Team's been working on something very saucy these last months which resulted on a full revision of the Third Mega Update (which the team calls the 'TMU II - Third Mega Update II').

The Third Mega Update will be the biggest update we've ever had and due to the recent revisions on the TMU we decided to release an extra mini update as a sort of an "appetizer" for the larger mega update, this new mini update will be released after the last models are prepared, hopefully very soon
