Burncycle · June 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Phalanx CIWS</div> This is a quickie hackjob of the CS minigun replacement and the default NS turret. The radar, frame, and ammo drum was the only thing made by me-

Its not an exact accurate phalanx, since it's quick and for asthetics, but it does look sexy and one gets the idea.

One is with the dome (might stick out of the hitboxes) and ones with an exposed radar (shorter, lower polys)

Size is actually fairly close to regular turret height wise.

Here's a work in progress:

<a href='http://www.geocities.com/refleks180/turret.html' target='_blank'>http://www.geocities.com/refleks180/turret.html</a>

The only thing not skinned is the parts I made. The gatling gun and tripod have skins-

Exposed radar version: 1,800 polys (approx)
Dome version: 1,800 polys (approx) without tripod.

If anyone knows how I can get ahold of these two people, I'd be very grateful

The Mk-15 Phalanx CIWS is a fast-reaction, rapid-fire 20mm gun system for short range defense against aircraft or missiles. Each mount consists of three main parts: the white "head" containing the track radar, the gun (six barrels) and below the gun there is the magazin. The gun is able to fire more than 3,000 rounds per minute.

Just use the default turret anims. And did you get permission to use the gatling gun?
Looks nice!

Burncycle · June 2003

not sure how, but I'll release it and let someone else do it.

And nope. But I'll try and contact him. If all else fails, I'll take the gatling gun apart and make my own.

There is another feed in the back (the expended cases are cycled back into the drum like the GAU-8 if I recall correctly) but I didn't model that and other details since that would jack up the polys even more.

*update* I found out who created the minigun and skin, their names are in the readme and in the first post. If anyone knows how where I can contact them, I'll go ahead and ask permission

The zip of what I've got so far is here. The minigun and default turret is included in case you want to decompile them and use those skins.

/me takes cool turret and attaches it to Ferrin

very cool turret <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Liku · June 2003

Yeah Sheena, we get it, big gun. That thing looks hella Fugly with that Pillar-Dome on it. Nice model though.

Psycho-Kinetic_Hyper-Geek · June 2003

I can never look at that gun without thinking about the pope's hat.

huh...

lol

GWAR · June 2003

Does that hat serve some purpose?? them americans always come up with silly ways to improve things XD

Back on topic, The Phalanx is a amazing system... Four of them on a large battle ship can easily cover from all angles.

Better than havin a Exocet hit yah...

Burncycle · June 2003

I'd rather have Sea RAM <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

but since there are no missiles in game, had to stick with phalanx, hehe.

*crosses fingers and hopes someone finishes it*

Sirus · June 2003

It looks like a giant ...

I'll just keep my ill-humored thoughts to myself...

mhm.... I like the right version better... the (original) one on the left looks strange for such a sentry gun imo <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Ah the Sheffield

The missile did quite a bit of damage considering it didn't explode <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

antifreeze · June 2003

Someplzfinish this turret, Its a big cannon o matic

Burncycle · June 2003

The version with the rotating bar on top is almost 3 times the polys of the standard sentry.

I'm going to replace a few of the cylinders and give them fewer sides, then I'll go ahead and post a download link

Burncycle · June 2003

<a href='http://www.geocities.com/refleks180/turret.zip' target='_blank'>http://www.geocities.com/refleks180/turret.zip</a>

click and drag, or right click and save target as

1687 polys, so it isn't for the faint hearted. I also have a version with a solid peice for the barrel, rather than individual barrels, but I really like the one with individual barrels best for effect. There's only so much you can do with a skin <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I included the gatling gun so you can decompile for the skins

if anyones intrested in finishing off the skin/animating it, then I want yer babies! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> (as long as the thread doesn't get 40 pages long before it's done <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> )

101st_Pfc_Snake · June 2003

heh some of the canadian warships use those... 20mm tungston tipped rip a missile to pieces...although the navy for me is **** thnx to that one song "in the navy"...but wat i think these things should be for is shooting down planes lol just aim and spray <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> although i dunno wat the effective range on em is though...
