Teleporter:

Wagon:

Personally, I think the teleporter looks very nice. Would be a great addon to the server.

The tank seems rather flat, but it must be hard to do those up and down directions. I dont do graphics, so I wouldnt know, but it seems rather flat.

The wagon looks pretty neat. Would be great for the mineral map.

For this who are confused about the wagon, please go to this thread:

Finally a waggon :) May be the corner should be rounded a little bit, but looks good in the style of the hover bike

The teleporter looks quite cool

The tank is a good start but the front and back need to be improved a lot, need more perspective

I dont like the tank, it's showing a roof perspective and not showing the front. When we view buildings we see THEIR fronts, so meh!

You havn't responded to my post about 2-people hover bikes :(

That tank is hideous, the up/down sprites for obvious reasons... But the left and right aren't so great either... Aside from being a not-so-attractive drawing that doesn't look anything like a tank...

-The texture slapped on top of the main body on both left and right is very linear, and doesn't slope down with the tank itself.

-The perspective on the tires don't match the vehicle body itself. They have no depth.

-The left and right are exactly the same except flipped horizontally. It would've worked if the "tank" was completely symmetrical, but it's not. Look at all of those things in the black ellipse on the top...

-On the up/down sprites there's a bit of grey on each end of the vehicule showing some "Bumper" but you can see that on the left/right sprites, the bumper is pretty much flush with the whole body... So you wouldn't see that much bumper (if any) from top down.

There are a few more little things wrong I've noticed, and they all add up. But first, if you don't plan on making it look like a tank... Fix up what you have.

Here's my crappy visual aid. I hope what I've said, along with this will make sense.

Haunter, fexii only made the up and down views of the tank, not the sides.

What post ?
It will be possible soon to pull other hover bikes and to be able to shoot from hover bike, so a friend can pull your hover bike and you shoot the enemy

Explain what you mean by 'pulling'.

The hover bike can be attached to the end of another hover bike and then the bike in front will pull the other bike, so your bike is following the other bike automatically.

Sorry I was mixing names again, have seen that post of course, but I was already announcing on Zone that the hover bike improvements will be added soon, so answered indirectly :)

The tank up and down directions just look like a box... not a tank. As for the teleporters maybe not on the dropship, but the teleporter to base 1. The transport wagone is decent, the visor on the back seems at a wrong angle...

No, that would not go well.

when will they be useable?

I agree that the tank isn't a very good image. I was given the tank facing side-ways and tried to adapt its style, although it didn't work very well. It's still usuable, but far from superior. It's just not my style of pixelation.

The teleporter I will post later in layers so that it can be used on Zone, since most people like it. I was thinking that it should replace the existing ones because the current ones don't make much sense to my eye.

The wagon i'll make the second angle and post it as well.

And i'd specifically like to thank Haunter for his informative analysis of the picture. Even though I agree with him on all points, I'll point out that I didn't make the side-view of the tank and that this image is another person's style that I attempted to adapt, which is why there are so many imperfections. Otherwise I hope to see more posts like yours in the future ^^

I knew fexii didn't make the original "tank" image... But that doesn't exempt the fact that the whole thing needs to be fixed. It just makes it look more professional... Zone is a Gold server, so I'd expect graphics with good perspective and continuity, etc.

I realize my skills are mediocre at best, but the only way to expand my graphic capabilities is to practice. Zone may be a Gold server but without anybody trying, new graphics will never be implemented. Hopefully some day my skills will be up to par with a server such as Zone, but until then I'll continue to share my work and look forward to public reviews such as yours.
