FLAG OBJECTIVE ---- Ideas

[Mraah]

All,

I'm playing around with the idea of a bigger 3D Flag Objective .... Any suggestions?

Below is a sample of a flag objective for the golfers ... (shown with z1812's texture)

Bigger flags?

How big ? The size you see in the screenshot?

Maybe 4 big flags on the pole or a cross polygon pattern ... # ?

[Mraah]

Here's a flag ... about the same size as the golf ball ...

Distant shot show's the flag just as it's about to disappear from sight.

[Mraah]

Same view ... with Russian flags ...

Okay...

Less coffee for Mraah.

The pole may need to be taller, also, such that it's scaled-up with the larger flag.

ok ...

The new rough dimensions ... 4x flag size, 2x flag pole height.
The distant shot is again just before it drops out of sight for the farthest flag.

I think that this is a nice improvement over the original.

However, some folks will complain about it being "out of scale."

Of course, someone is ALWAYS gonna complain! [;)]

I'll upload the new flags soon but I'll go back to the default flags for a demo so folks can see the difference.

If it's a total winner then I'll get z1812's permission to use his texture for version 2.

As far as scale goes ... It would be nice if we had a toggle, small/medium/large.

Also, I had other ideas with just the flag without a pole ... a hovering type marker.

For the hovering marker, MMG's Civil War games had those and I found it a pain to get to the correct spot to take control. I don't think that will occur with PCK.
 
You could make them similar to the "coins" just for continuity.

I never thought about a coin version ... but I can't make it a billboard so I'll need to make it a little thick.

The golf ball idea works like a billboard ... perhaps making it look like a pin marker, tall, slightly tilted ... like a pin on a map.

Hi Mraah,

The large flag mod looks very good. If you wish to use what I have done previously please feel free. I should point out that the texture is originally from CMBB. I did some work on it so it would be visible for PCK.

I played MMG's TC2M and the floating objective marker drove me nuts, trying to make sure I was in correct place. I'd stick with the flagpole firmly acnchored to the ground. No doubts then where it's at.

z1812,

Great ... thanks. I faded out yesterday after my mid shift so I'll post the larger objective flags later this morning.

Just so long as they can be toggled off, I dont mind!
