OK, have a look at this:



not my best work, but should be good enough.

Looks awesome!! I will try to integrate it into zod engine/zed online.

I did two frame of animation (up and down movement) for the cargo truck in paint.
@xxxXx I've send you a PM with preliminary results
Even without the wheels being animated the result looks very promising.
So, thinks missing then are the four diagonal directions for the fire truck.
The animation for the fire truck (which I could then easily do).
I added the sprites for destroyed fire truck / cargo truck.
Unit label for the HUD for the cargo truck is missing, but that's not a bis issue. Would just be nice to have.

Dude, this is awesome!

btw, I'm an idiot, I thought I posted the whole fire truck sprite set already.

anyhow here it is:



If needed I can add wheel animation asap if you send or post sprites you are using. this would be 4 sprites for every direction when the tires are visible.

Cool! I will add them to the game.
Wheel animation is not really necessary. In zod engine I think no one will notice and in zed online I have to zoom in as far as possible to notice the animation on the wheels of the jeep.
If you would like to do the wheel animation I will of course add them to the game!

For the jeep wheels & shadow was in a single sprite. 3 frames of animation for 6 directions (no shadow/animation visible for 2 directions).

From the jeep, going east:




north east:




no animation for noth. North west:




West:




South west




West, no animation for south

Out of new units for Z Online I would suggest

1. Amfibia vehicle (Hovercraft). Similar to jeep a weak 1 rocket low armor vehicle that ignores lakes and rivers and goes anywhere, good to capture territories.

2. Rocket APC that is built with Tough robots right away so no need to hassle with changing the crew.
I never use APC because it's too much hassle changing the crew and medium tank is just easier anyways.

3. Bunker - non moving APC gives a shelter for the bots

4. Mobile Hovitzer - basically moving artillery with a HUGE range and very poor accuracy (to put at the back)

5. General Zod - similar to SteelSoldiers, a hero unit with more hitpoints and stronger attack

p.s. Bring crocodiles and killer penguins back! it was fun in original Z.
