Cement barriers

[Chris Death]

Hello everybody,

I've just completed my first addon: "cement barriers", also
known as "concrete dividers" or "Jersey walls".

I'd like to get it beta tested though before it's final release  

The final release btw will be included in the 3WX object pack 1.

Here are some details:

I've been using 7 different textures now, so that they don't all
look equal.

There are:

- 7 different textured single pieces of 5 meter length

- 5 different textured single end pieces

All pieces below are using various textures and are available
twice (lined up close together and lined up with gaps of 20-30cm inbetween):

- 5 x 5m
- 4 x 5m + 1 end piece

- 5 x 10m
- 4 x 5m + 1 end piece

I've made AI paths between the gaps, so that AI doesn't have
to run around those lined up barriers.

AI is some kind'a strange when using paths on objects, so it
can happen that soldiers move through the barrier itself instead
of using the gap - that's not possible to be fixed and can be seen
on original BIS objects (e.g: houses) aswell.

Below there are some screenshots, featuring all barriers:








Here are two download links for the unbinarized beta version:

:note - i've already binarized them and there were only two
lods with "no neighbourgh" comming up, which i've already
fixed (after the creation if this beta files) - just to let you
know what i don't need tested anymore  

Here are two links, where you can dowload the "cement barriers"
Thanks to Wacky_Iraqi and hardrock for hosting the files

Unfortunately i couldn't include a readme file when sending the
beta version to hosts, but below you can read everything
needed about the addon:

Code: [Select]

The cement barriers will all be found under: empty / chd_objects, after you have put the file: chd_cembar.pbo into any addons folder may it be a mod/res/ or simply addons.

The single parts will all be found under the same name:

"cement barrier 5m" - seven exemplaries of them each featuring a different texture

"cement barrier (end) 5m" - five exemplaries / each textured
different

And the lined up versions are listed below seperately:

"cement barrier 25m"
"cement barrier (end) 25m"
"cement barrier (spaces) 25m"
"cement barrier (end/spaces) 25m"

"cement barrier 50m"
"cement barrier (end) 50m"
"cement barrier (spaces) 50m"
"cement barrier (end/spaces) 50m"

btw - here's another link to the thread at BI forums, where you can
also read something more about these barriers:

I'm a newsposter, not an addonmaker :]
As for the binarised version for wrp-editors, I suggest you wait until your pack will be released finally with 3MX pack, I don't know almost anything about island making, but logic dictates there may be some conflicts in future, when there will be few different releases of the addon, if half of islandmakers would use beta and othr half - final release :]

BETA stage for the cement barriers is over now !!!!!!!

F3WX objects pack 1.1 has been release here:

BIS forums  thread

Since the beta testing stage didn't return that much comments,
i'm hoping that the final release won't do either.

There are 3 more objects of mine being included in the 3WX pack;

Israelis walls 10m/30m/60m

Those are about 8 meters high - non-destructable and there will
even come a guard tower (or two) during a later update/patch.

Thx for all your help guys (it did help me mucho to improve  the barriers   ) - and especialy thx for hosting beta Johann "onn" Bitsoenn.
