Tracked vehicle update

Okay, so implementing all of the tracked vehicle stuff is taking me a wee bit longer than I first thought. Not because I'm running into any difficulties, but because I'm feeling a little lazy right now. Work is a bit demanding at the moment, and it is sort of leaving me feeling drained when I get home in the evenings.

But there has be progress! I haven't been completely lazy., only a little bit. :)

Completed Tasks
* New Tracked Vehicle class derived from WheeledVehicle and working the same as original prototype.
* Setup inner-wheel imposters on data block
* Get inner-wheel imposters following the terrain.

Stuff still to do
* Work out which inner-wheel nodes are on the left and right sides
* Properly calculate the maximum extension length of the inner-wheel nodes (currenty a hacked constant)
* Work out the radius of the inner wheels
* Take into account for the thickness of the tracks when animating the inner nodes in code.
* Rotate inner-wheel nodes to follow motion of vehicle
* Track animation
* Network replication for the inner-wheel nodes

The most interesting part of this should be the track-animations. Everything else is pretty straight forward, and I should get most of this done over the weekend (especially as Monday is a holiday here in Austria).

But for now...here is a screen shot (clicking on the image will open a larger version). It shows the tracked vehicle with the inner-wheels following the world. I know it; a little hard to make out detail because of the lack of textures, but I'll probably do something about that this weekend too.

It would seem that I can't wrap a url tag around an image tag, so you'll just have to click on the link :)
