Defcon

[B3rgil]

Once again excuse my approximate english.
I hope everybody here knows Fallout, the post-nuclear role playing game, which has many connections with Defcon. That's the theme of my new mod.

SAM = vault's door
SILO = the PipBoy !
...

Concerning UNITS : in Fallout's world there is an helicopter...

... and even a ship (in San Francisco).

I dream of the USA map with game's locations and cities. As you can see there is lots of Fallout's maps but - like for my Middle Earth Mod - I don't know how to do because of the map wrapping.

- Fallout 2 : http://fallout.486games.net/fallout2_map.jpg
- Fallout Tactics : http://www.duckandcover.cx/gallery/albums/userpics/10095/normal_Map.jpg

I keep working on graphics, suggestions and comments are welcome.

I'm surprised no-one has put a helicopter before, seems a rather obvious graphics amendment now you mention it. Although I suppose they'd move disproportionately fast for a helicopter, unless it was Airwolf that is.

You have to entirely redraw the game to look like a PipBoy.
I give you 3 days.

Just a minor thing here; that's an Enclave "Vertibird", not a helicopter.
Also, it is noted in Fallout 1 that the super mutants used steam trucks to assault Necropolis, might be something to work with.

Otherwise, nice work. Looking forward to it.

I suspected "helicopter" wasn't the good word. I played Fallout's french version, and the french translation is "hélicoptère".
So I'll change it to "Vertibird".

Yes I'll try. But I absolutely want to keep the PipBoy.

[B3rgil]

I found a better appearence for Silo on Air Defense :

The Turret !
That replace my vault's door which wasn't really appropriate...

[Sebbeman]

Perhaps you could substitute the city icons with the vault door ones?

[KungFuAlex]

I like how its turning out, thse vertibirds and turrets looks good

Yep !

[KungFuAlex]

Yeah, that is more fallout stylish. Maby make the battleships or carriers like the old tanker i SanFran? I would guss people would gifht with whatever they had in such a post-war wolrd, som probartly many junk ships going around

Good! Let's see some airbases next.

[BloodKite]

Maybe you could make the bombers be the airships from Fallout Tactics.

Great idea ! Can't remember their name in game. Is it Airships ? Or Zeppelins ?

Thanks for your help, guys.

hmm, I do not think you see them much, but I would guess they look like Zeppelins, but I guss the folks in the fallout world would call the Airships
