Mother Base Parts (WIP)

Description
This is a very simple, hastily-made model pack designed for building "Mother Base" style offshore platforms, like in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid V.



One assembled platform is made out of separate side, corner, and center pieces, plus a few accessories.
I've only made a few for now, but they should cover a lot of use cases. The complete platform has a top deck, and two belowdecks, leaving plenty of room for end user requirements.


Most of the models have WIP textures, though a few parts are missing them, and they should generally work fine for player use. AI pathing support "sorta" works, but to have it work properly you either need to place the platform pieces just above the ground, or place a copy of them just above the ground directly below them. This will make the AI properly realize the pieces are "enterable", and forces them to path properly. Here's an example mission that does the latter: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1133757608

An assembled platform will be about 60x60m, roughly the size they are in MGSV, and the helipad is a bit over 20x20m like MGSV, which will fit virtually any helicopter you can imagine. If you want to place buildings on the platform surface, you can use the "foundation" pieces included to make it easier. One can sit on top to cover up the "below-ground feet" of
smaller buildings, the other can fill up the entire level below, covering even the most tenacious of footings.

This is exceedingly unfinished and subject to change, though the current configuration works fairly well. Many things need to be tweaked, added, and adjusted. I've got a few small ideas for what I could do next when I resume this project.


(Units/gear in the screenshots are mostly from CUP Units.)

Support has been added for this mod's structures to snap together =) https://youtu.be/4TjujsEjp-I

@vurtual would you be willing to let me pick this mod up? Seems like its been a while since its been worked and a few friends and I have started a small MSF/Diamond Dogs themed unit that uses this mod to build our spawn comps and we'd like to add a few core/edge parts

will this ever get finished? Even a few more made structures to place would be nice, as lining pieces up is a pain in the arse

man, I was really looking forward to this.
What would be your thoughts on someone finishing your work?

And when do you count the textured? no because the tone is not finished, it's a shame.

Can't Land on these with Planes, Breaks any plane not landing as soft as 110 below, which is way below Stall speed for most aircraft

Abandoned?

Has anyone used this mod on an exile server? For some reason the a3l doesn't pick it up
