I thought we could possibly have tanks and other vehicles display the driving players spray on a designated area on the vehicle for aesthetic purposes. ======== EXAMPLES (I couldn't find any not on sexually oreinted so forgive the images) ======== Don't understand how this entire picture here is in B&W while the nose-art is in color....
Yeah I made a post about this not too long ago. I think it would be dope to have it show up on a tank you make or something. Would be cool to incorporate it somehow. I remember seeing someone have the laughing man logo as a spray and it showed up on a comp screen in dystopia. I thought that was pretty cool.
If someone can show me how this won't look like absolute shit in-game, I might be more open to the idea, otherwise no. The last thing I want to see in Empires is people driving around with weaboo tanks, pr0n tanks, and tanks with animated sprays. It would be nothing other than a distraction, and you can't just slap spray textures onto a designated area of the chassis textures and assume it will look good - it certainly won't look like aircraft/vehicle art in real-life. The pictures Vulkanis has posted are cool, and indeed emblems on military vehicles in real life are pretty cool, but Empires isn't real life, and I don't see any way of implementing this that would actually be aesthetic. It would instead look like everyone is driving around in half-assed jokemobiles.
I think if it was only for command vehicles and was limited to an icon sized image it would be cool. It would cut down on wondering who is comming the enemy team. :D
What if we limited the pictures to not include the .gif (and any other animation filetypes) filetype so we can't have animations, as for porn and weaboo type stuff I think it really just comes down to if the admin on the server that your in will allow it.
Yeah I agree shandy.. I dunno if it would look all that great unless it was added really well. I just really like the idea of standing out and using my grapehead spray as much as I can. PS. I can't thank you enough for that custom grapehead emp background lol I fucking love it! PIMP!
While we're at it, why not add the player name at the drivers license number? Like they do at Unreal Tournament 2004, it sure would make it easier to see who built said tank.
Well, it doesn't need to look great, it's basically just to detemine which tank is build by who i guess, and could have small predefined squares where the spray would be shown, like somewhere on it's side on a straight area (or tank turret on the be heavy) in 1/6-1/4 of its size?!
they would be awesome for any clan scrims that happen so that people can see the cw/bsid/jpl/epic logo on the tanks and to show a difference between the people one of these clans have asked to join in to fight with.
and exchange all flag models for clan logos too but i guess this is one of the least important features to care about?
it might be interesting, but confusing to have the commanders spray as team logo on tanks and as flags - i also can see this might be breaking the immersion. finally if both teams use the same logos this could be even gamebreaking ...
It sounds pretty fun and that's what the game is about, can't say it's important but it sure is a nice suggestion ...
