After spending loads of time on it, I am happy that I'm done with an early version. That's also why I feel obliged to how the thing off!

Is it fully functional? _____________________

Sadly it wont be functional until we get Havok2, and even then it's questionable.
 The alpha version has already 46 prims. If Havok2 bumps up the prim limit a lot, or if there will be seperate collision models, I intend to make it drivable with a second seat for the turret (hopefully my scripting skills will be up to that with 1.6/1.7). |

Oh, hinges can do the job fine -- I've done it. But I might be the only one. I think I have the only attachment free working tank.
I could be wrong though. |

I think the treads and the damned turret eat the most prims. Especially the turret, had to use multiple prims to give it at least a bit of a trapezoid look as needed.

My tank begs to differ. As does my old two part linked zeppelin.
Occasionally you might "Drop" through the sim for a moment, but it'll come back a moment later. http://kayin.pyoko.org/donotfearjoints.avi Me driving my tank across a sim boundry in oak grove. I also show that it is infact jointed. I had a perfect run as well, but didn't use it as I forgot to display the joints -- this is sitll better though, as it shows the type of trouble that happens. Which isn't that bad. |
