Lunar Personell Carrier W.I.P.
I 've started working on a Lunar Personell Carrier for Invasion Earth: 1987.
Its still a work in progress and the interior is mostly unfinished. The rear half will be an airlock and the front half will be pressurized. I want to have a weapons locker and mediacl station onboard if the HL2 engine will allow it (if not we could probably code it without too much problem). The drivers station will be in the center of the dash and the gunner will probably stand on a platform to fire the gun (not done yet). I've also thought of havine the gunner stand on the floor and use a periscope type mechanism to operate turret. The model is currnetly at 2300 polys. the pressure door in the central bulkhead and driver/gunner stations will add some, and some interior details will be added too. I'm expecting another 1500 polys.

cool, but you have to remeber that we dont know what kinds of materials the source engine can support.... (the glass stuff)
nice job.

Ya its round all right. It'd be realy too round for a "normal" mod. But IE:1987 isnt exactly normal. Its supposed to be as if you are in a 50's Sci-Fi movie about 1987.
Here's a pic of the vehicle that inspired the Lunar Personell Carrier. This is from "battle in outer space". in the background you can see the bottom of the rocketship that brought them to the moon and the crane's attachment clamp that lifts the trucks back up to the rocket.

The parts I'm most concerned about with vehicles are the weapons locker, medical station and air tank re-fill station. It'd be nice to incorporate those into the vehicle, if I cant we'll look at coding it and if thats not very practical then I'll just figure something else out. I'm fairly sure youre going to be able to have a gunners station based on what we seen on the demo vids. I dont know if the gun was being controlled by the player or if it was automaticly tracking the target, but it was a form of gun turret  I dont think I'm going to have seats for all the troops being carried in the vehicle, they will all just stand. That should put a bit of extra burden on the driver to be carefull not to beat up the passengers too bad. For example; You decide to build up serious speed and jump a crater instead of going the long way around. thats fine and you land without crashing, but you just killed 3 NPC troops in the back

The way I see it, we'll probably be able to evrything you could do in HL1, and more. But I wont count on the "more" and be prepared to fall back on HL1 methods of solving problems if I have to.
