Been getting back in to using TGEA and Torque Constructor...
The only way I could think of doing it and have some fun was to play around making a nuke base map.

So far, I've made:
Nuke missile
Floor
Pipes x 2 sorts
Control Platform
Over head crane
Entrance/Tunnel with room
Sat Dish
Base Roof

To make next:
Forklift Truck
Props
More Pipes
More rooms for Entrance/Tunnel (command room, mess, quarters etc etc)
"more to come"

The other thing with this test... once I'm done.. I plan on just giving it all away (if anyone wants any of it) :P

Some pics: (WIP)

All comments and suggestions welcome

Looks like its coming along really well. just curious why you have the launch controls in the same room as the missle? Missles are almost always stored in a silo, that is seperated from any controls. For security reasons and safety. But other then that and you need to fix your water block in the 2nd picture, looking really good.

Thanks for the feedback

I'm making a control room at the moment... I just made that as a quick thing to add.. going to just change it in to the controls for the over head crane or something.

Fix the water block in pic 2?

If you mean the thing in front of the door.. that's a temp floor/road

As far as lighting goes...
I would suggested completely portaling it off, turning off the ambient light acceptance, and lighting it from in the engine with the "Inverse Square Fast Falloff" light model.

Hey Ryan

Thanks for the suggestions... I've not started to touch lighting yet.. but I'll look in to your suggestions when I do

Thanks again

Looks great remind me of Golden Eye for the N64

Keep up the great work

There needs to be a station with "Do you want to play global thermonuclear war?" sitting at a command prompt.

@Kory... thanks... I never played Golden Eye on the N64 :(

@Ben... cool idea... I might put "tic tac toe" on one of the screens as well !!

"Would you like to play a game?"
