Tiny Combat Arena - New AI Aircraft Workflow
It's really, really important to me that adding new content is as easy as possible. I accomplished this with vehicles by making it so that all you need is a model and some data files. I was extremely happy with the results, as adding a vehicle now just involves adding some data files and the model.
I've been very, very scared of doing the same for aircraft. I've got the basics of it working for AI aircraft, but I'm not sure this will ever be possible for player aircraft because they are significantly more complex. There's still unsolved problems with this workflow for the AI right now too. The biggest of which is colliders and the damage model. I'm not exactly sure yet how I can set this up correctly
The MiG-21 model itself was completely remodeled using new techniques and in the process got upgraded from an F-13 to a bis.
