Smaller Rubber Bands

Post by HintJ »

Included are a set of smaller rubber bands and a set of the originals, in case you forget to back them up. The files go in the media->graphics file.

Why smaller rubber bands? Well, I think the default ones are too big, like when the yellow and red bands overlap. This is designed more for the player that likes to view the game closer to the ground.

Thanks for these bands...I like to get down at the lowest level frequently, particularly during replay.

Thanks HintJ.

I was wondering from beginning and shaked my head therefor.
Why the development introduced such big, fat ,clumsy and ugly rubber bands in the game. [&:]

Could you maybe design one more, still smaller rubber bands as an optional mod?

Sure. I can make them super skinny, but you won't be able to see them very well, especially through the grass.

Pressing the Y key makes them go above some things. Maybe grass too.

My performance is so lousy, I turn off the grass anyway! [:(]
So half the size of your mod will be a good addition I guess. [:)]
I hope it´s not so much work for you. And let the community decide.

No problem. It takes about 10 minutes.

Wow, these are skinny. Much skinnier and we enter the realm of silly.

I made the red a little bit bigger than yellow for this effect:

Thank you for your work and the speed of execution. [:)]

That's how the whole game looks so much better.

I liked the thiner bands so much better and as you can see, I'm probably not the only one who takes a liking to it.
