eezstreet Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 ^Don't use .jpg, it sucks, low quality and lack of alpha. Use .png, all the functionality of a .tga but with a much smaller file size. If we pack a jpg in the pk3 it'll look lower res than all the others which are .png.PNG is not without its faults however. It loads slower than JPGs and TGAs because PNGs need to be decompressed, which can impact the load time greatly.
Inyri Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 It's not likely to, though, and I don't really want this to turn into a "which file format is best" debate. I'll work on getting some of these in-game tonight and tomorrow so you can see what they look like during play.
Cloud Senatu Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Very awesome! That is damn near perfect!I love it, Inyri!

eezstreet Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Suggestion - GSA ME themed map, your ME guns and models, sex amirite?
Inyri Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 You need to suggest mappy things to mappy people. Although a little birdie told me there may be a Firebase Giant map in the works.
Nihilus Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Heh, Firebase... that reminded me of the first KillZone game for PS2.

Malkav Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 The idea seemed nice but it turns out I lack the patience and skill to do it properly.
Inyri Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 I'll be getting more of the skins in-game this weekend. We're getting very close to release, so if you have suggestions or requests now is the time to speak up. Also if you guys could please take a look at this thread and provide any feedback you're able to I'd appreciate it. If I don't get any feedback I'm going to guess, and that could result in missing sounds for some people.
Inyri Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 Planning to go with a style like this for the icons. Thoughts? Also, more posts to the thread in the above post plx. Really do need your help on that.
MUG Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Looks good, but personally I loath any icon that doesn't have this BG: http://jkhub.org/files/file/16-blank-icon-images/ Szico VII likes this
Inyri Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 And I think icons that do have it are totally boring. Maybe I'll make you a set of icons with that background just because I'm trying to convince everyone I'm actually a nice person. MUG likes this

Maybe I'll make you a set of icons with that background just because I'm trying to convince everyone I'm actually a nice person. fair nuff =Pbut just FYI, I like them BECAUSE they are boring. You don't want to have a huge list of skins in your profile screen all with the same matching background and then just one fucker with the giant flashing multicoloured background, if you get where I am coming from. I like mods to "fit in".

Inyri Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 Also the PSD file has been updated (I finished painting some parts I forgot/missed/chose not to paint until now). If anyone makes another skin please redownload it. Thanks!
Cloud Senatu Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Personally I can't stand the default backgrounds...I think the background needs to be something that goes with the model...Much like the one you had, because it goes with the idea of the model itself.
Inyri Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 I'm going to make a full set of both (although the custom ones will be the ones actually in the PK3, because I agree with you Cloud). Any last ideas for skins? I'm going to make a Mass Effect 1 skin version (the white armor with slightly off-white skin).
Cloud Senatu Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Awesome As far as skins are concerned...I can't think of anything.I'm not the best at re-texturing, otherwise I may have a hand at that but... lol
