Illumina, Walls, Droppods.
One of the new things weve been experimenting with in our game Illumina is giving players multiple ways to capture a base.

From hacking doors, to destroying there power and one of the new additions, destroying walls :)

Ive created a short video showing off the new effect we have of being able to destroy base walls and objects in order to storm a base.

You can find the video here.

www.illumina-game.com/illumina.avi - 5 meg xvid

Weve also got new supply drop canisters which you will see briefly in the video. These droppods are what land when a squad leader calls in a support drop and contains additional ammo/weapons for players to pickup. More videos showing that when the particles are finished :)

Heres a pic showing them off (will look much better in motion)

thats greate man keep up the good work ;)

but what about destroying walls It's really hard to implemenet that, I think you didn't do it using dif files but I think you make a hole on the .dif file and then create the same wall structure on 3ds max and export it as .dts file so then it will be destroyed? is it right??
