Another Crazy Idea (for a mod?)

[william19k]

Ok this isn't really a gameplay thing, I think the gameplay is just fine, but I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow choose color tints for our titans. I have no idea how this could be done but I would love to have my Squad B (the Redwings) all tinted red with white hi-lights, or just red. Team colors for squads basically. Again I have no idea how this could be done. Or if its even possible but sometimes when the fighting gets thick I find myself wishing I could distinguish the enemies Icelord from good ol' Nick Lidstrom's Icelord. [:)]

And this doesn't have to be something official either, if someone wants to be creative and help me out that would be cool too...[:D]

all of the game's sprites are in a format that is readable by a graphics editor like adobe photoshop. you can load them up and edit them yourself, however this will affect all of the titans so i'm not sure how you can pull this off for team-specific colors.

in ToS ver 1.4, teams were color coded.

Why don't you use the '0' feature ? Check with F1 for it.

Ah, that is something I overlooked, thanks. Now I feel foolish...[:(]

Would it be possible to assign a different set of sprites for each team? Then you could use all the same sprites but each teams could be colored. Again I am not really good at these type of things and don't know what is possible.

Besides, Larkin pointed out the 0 option for me that I have been overlooking every time I play the game...ack. [X(]

Currently, all teams use the same set of sprites, images\tos01~tos20.tga
Possible, yes, if Larkin would find it useful (but that's what '0' is for). And if someone would make the sprites for the other 3 teams (edited copies with different paint schemes).

Ok, I was just throwing it out there as a preference thing. I saw what some people had done with terrain mods and actually really like them and wondered if something like this could be possible without alot of hassle. I am not complaining at all about any part of the game. I am just one of those people who like to tweak things, I never bought pre painted minatures for the old board games, I allways painted my own to a color scheme. That was sort of the idea. I know that the idea isnt useful in a gameplay standpoint, it was sort of an idea "for fun".

I hope I didn't offend anyone.

People around here don't get offended easily. [:D] Surely not with suggestions.
Like it has been said, you can mod the sprites with the appropriate tools. Having different ones for each team, that involves Larkin. I don't think he would even consider changing it unless he would have someone hand him the 4 sets ready to use. Even then if he would, only he knows [:)]

Ok I understand now. If it isnt something simple then forget it. The 0 key will suit me fine, I'm just embaressed I didn't see that before. No need to trouble Larkin, especially not while he is out reaping the rewards of his efforts on a wonderful vacation...[:D]

Wait, that post got deleted, oh well it would have been funny, really it would have.[:)]

[Thorgrim]

Actually, he's been cranking out betas like he always has, on a daily basis. [:D]
But then, I'm on vacation too and I'm still hassling him each and every day [8|]
