You have had some terrain so now for another rarity, buildings!

Runway


Hanger


The hanger works in a similar way to the GDI upgrade centre in TS giving you excess to superweapons when upgraded. Here you can see two runways & a fully upgraded hanger.



I haven’t completely finished it yet, I plan too add a searchlight to the roof of the control tower that will illuminate enemy aircraft but haven’t got round to trying it out yet.

Excellent work Mig!

The look awsoeme! I love the lighting effects!

Did you create these from scratch or are they based on other WWII games like the civ buildings?

Also, how many planes does each runway hold? (That is if the aircraft work that way)

[Athena]

That looks really awesome .

[Mig Eater]

I made them from scratch in Photoshop & each runway holds four planes.

[Allied General]

does the hanger act as the "factory" and the runway the landing pads?

awesome work though

[Mig Eater]

You get fighters & ground attack planes with just the runway but you need the hanger to build bombers so it’s more like a tech lab etc.

[KaRsKiN]

Scrath built!

Brian, that is awsoeme!

Have you considered going into games design for a career? Seriously, D-Day looks on par with a lot of commercial releases ive seen...

[Mig Eater]

I would love to get into making games professionally but I would need to spend the next 5 or more years at university to even have a chance of that. First I would need to spend a year or two doing A-levels tho just to get into uni

[Lee]

Wow Also one of my favourite things about D-Day

You rock Miggy

[wilmet]

that is certainly nice if all the base buildings are that good looking I'll want to protect them from the enemy even more.

btw, is this and other buildings going to be shared by every side or are you planing on having different (or even just slightly modified) ones for the different countries?
IMHO just adding a little modification (like stuff written in japanese on the japonese one for example) is more than enough...just a small detail.

[B.v.G]

are u finishd with the battle labs and construction yards?

[Mig Eater]

@Ash:
For now all sides share the same buildings, at a later time I will make different ones for each side or as you said change the details so they fit with that side better.

I would prefer to make completely different buildings for each side but I have a severe lack of imagination when it comes to designing new buildings. It can take me months to figure out what to make them look like in my head & then just a day put them together in Photoshop.

@B.v.G:
I have made all the buildings but I’m only happy with the runway, hanger, warfac & naval yard, the rest need redoing.

@Mad:
The lighting on both buildings is done with custom alpha images.

Mig, your skill with SHPs makes the jobs done by WW on the RA2 buildings look like hackjobs. I applaud you.

[Mig Eater]

Well I guess the fact that I’m not limited by the unittem.pal helps me a lot

Mig, you just halted me again with the fact that: a senior middle school boy(I don't know the education in Britain but it seems so ) can be so knowledgable in WW2 or other history stuff and as well be so professional in image process.
You could have saved WestWood, or beat it yourself, if you are a fewer years older.
Forgive me Miggy, I thought you were much older

BTW, the first halt is from the runway and hanger.

[Mig Eater]

I’m 20 years old...

I’m a high school dropout & everything I know is self-taught, because of that I have no qualifications so getting a job or going to uni is near impossible for me.

Don't worry, Bill Gates is also a dropout.
I thought it was a Chinese irony that "Certificate" means more than ability or anything eles. I'm sorry seems it also happens sometime in your part of the world.
BTW, very good self-education you had.

[Jeeves]

Yeah, you need qualifications for everything these days. My mother couldn't find a job because shes been doing PR since before you could get a degree, but the fact she only has years and years of expericence, and no peice of paper saying she studyed it, makes it hard. Its a messed up system.

On topic, thats awesome.
What are the upgrades?

[Mig Eater]

The upgrades are superweapons

[Rattuskid]

Alpha lights mean you can't use XCC modlauncher I think, but this all looks excellent. I assume you avoid the selection braket errors by having the one have 0 height and the other have it only in the front?
