  4. HWT CRL Changes - Your input is requested

    in Heavy Weapons Trooper

    Posted

    Also.. the refrance for the extra ab buttons is RIGHT THERE but plainly being ignored so that people can switch between a 'standard' TK and a HWT.  Is the standard of Cstumed exalence this is wrong! Also, none of the circles on battlefront 2 are real cylenders. its poor 3d modleing as I have pointed out in my build thread with the center round tube on the pack.

    Dude,

     

    You need to take it down a notch.  A lot of thought and time has gone into the CRL by many people, most of which are Centurion Level HWTs.  We all do this for fun, our love of Star Wars, for the kids, the ability to give back, etc....

  5. HWT CRL Changes - Your input is requested

    in Heavy Weapons Trooper

    Posted

    The CRLs have recently been changed to reflect a number of things, and to set some standards. Are they 100% accurate? In a word, no. I understand your concerns about accuracy, believe me, and I have stated many times before that the pack (as seen in the game) would be extremely difficult for the average Trooper to build if constructed to match the screen caps exactly. If that were the case, none of the packs currently being used by any HWT would be permitted.

    We work with what we have available, which includes oil pans, cardboard, plastic containers and PVC. We have to allow for the fact that not everyone has access to the same materials, and therefore some minor variations are permitted.

    There are also other impracticalities to going 100% accurate at this time:

     

    Many HWTs use their current armor for "double duty", which gives them the ability (and luxury) to use it as both as that and as a regular TK when the need arises. If the tube stripes and lenses were black, this would be impossible without purchasing another helmet. Besides, no one currently makes black lenses. The same thinking is considered for the black buttons on the ab.

     

    If we wanted to get really precise, the following would be mandatory:

     

    1. TDs are not round, but octagons.

    2. The thigh ammo pack is not rounded at the bottom of the rear bottom corner,

    3. There are no buttons on the ABS belt.

    4. The top of the lower cannister has horizontal ribs. The bottom is is smooth and conical.

    5. The only 2 colors allowed on the pack are black and bluish gray. The bluish gray is only located on the bottom of the lower cannister, the top cannister, the vents and 4 buttons.

    6. The pack frame would need to be at least 7 to 8 inches thick, as shown in the game.

    7. The pack would have to have squared corners, not rounded.

     

    Canvas MP40 pouches were allowed at first, probably because of the cost factor. In the screen caps, there is a distinct "shine" on the tops. Leather can be shiny and reflect light... canvas can not.

     

    The vast majority of packs currently built do not have room for a TD, which is why this is an option.

     

    The present CRL states that all pauldrons must be orange for all new approvals. Those with other colors have been "grandfathered" in, the same for those who currently use canvas MP40 pouches.

     

    I completely understand everyone's concern regarding accuracy, but again, we have to be practical. Our main goal as HWTs is continuity, and perhaps one day many years from now things will change but for now we have to set some standards while still allowing for a few variations. We are such a small number of characters that I highly doubt that the general public (or even the majority of Troopers) will notice the small inconsistencies. At the end of the day, It's all about getting out there and having fun trooping.

    Very nicely stated. I agree.

    Got my HWT build done. I went for 100% screen accuracy with armor as well as pack. I noticed the CRL does not reflect 100% accuracy on the Battlefront 2 Heavy Weapon Trooper but Thats what I did.. Can't have change without taking a step forward! I have the pack details, sizes and placement as well as the armor details!

    If this were a new request they would evaluate the request and based on the proposed text & photographic evidence respond with a determination of approval/rejection with comments. Since I've already obtained approval on the text & photos, what happens now is that the LMO photoshop team - similar to our IPM - will edit the photos to comply with CRL standards, and the LMO will get the text/photos added to the CRL and let us know when it is published.

     

    So, for now we wait until we hear that its live. Make sense?

    Yes. Thank you for clarifying the process.

    By itself.  If you look at the CRL, you can see what accessory pictures look like.  Probably 3-4 from different angles should be good.

    Ok  Here you go.  I took a bunch of different ones with different backgrounds.  It looks like it is Black / White, but it is just due to the background I used.  If you need something different, let me know.
