Remember all that talk about the 'cartoony' graphics in Naval War's Carnage Galore mod looked so good? Well, I've started a mod that will convert the graphics in the regular M2 to a similar style. It will probably take a while, but what I've got done so far looks pretty good. Though as you can see from the screenshots below, there is still a lot to be done, including the objects and most of the textures.

What if we'd make it so that the graphics appear to be drawn with a crayon? Could be pretty funny too.

Well those graphics look simple enough for my AMAZING (Umm not really) skills to create. I want to take a part too, as soon as I get my trusty ol' computer back! (I'm using someone else's now, and it doesn't have a mouse...)

EDIT: Which is Friday or Saturday, BTW.

Thanks for all the help, I wasn't looking forward to doing all the objects myself, as there are over 400 images for them... I've pretty much finished everything but the objects and textures. We could probably start by dividing up the objects and each do a certain part of it...who's helping? Mrazerty, Naval War, Papercut and myself?

It's really a matter of finding all the edges on all the sprites, outlining them in black, then finding a medium for colors of the objects, an filling that whole area with that one solid color. It actually wouldn't take all that long as long as people are motivated to do it.

Clever idea, but it's a shame we can't include the renegade 'boink' sound.

Also known as Veyrdite
My website: http://halestrom.net/darksleep@Occasionally you may meet me when you sleep. In the darkest corners of your dreams, where your phone stops working and you don't know what to do. I'll be there; telling you that I don't support your device.

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

Okay, who wants to work on object-graphics:

'AirlockSign01_01' through 'Car08D_01'? (115 graphics)

'Car09_01' through 'forcefield01_04'? (116 graphics)

'Forklift01_01' through 'RadarBase01_01'? (115 graphics)

I'll do 'RaySub01_01' through 'XL901D_01' (116 graphics). I'm dividing this up assuming that four people including myself are working on it, though if anyone else wants to help that's great. I'll attach the weapon graphics I've already made for the amphibious tank, medium tank, heavy tank, doom tank, and MLRS, so that whoever ends up working on those can match the vehicle to the turret.

@Naval War

You can start re-drawing some objects, after all them get done it's really just the textures left to do. I've already started on some objects and textures. All the weapons, powerups, and hud sprites are finished.

The pistol hud actually is the M2 version, but I think I'll add a silencer to it (it is supposed to be a silenced pistol, after all)

Here's another screen showing all the weapon hud's, powerups, and the new Sarge trooper.

Humvee is done; maybe one of the mods could put an X beside it on that list or something?

IIRC "pasta" is used once in the game... Don't blame me if I'm wrong, but I *think* in that Mountain Side map in the Arctic Pursuit mission. Then again, I remember something very vaguely bout it, heh.

A few contributions - due to the upload function not working I've hosted them at mffh. Once the forums are fixed I'll upload them here.

http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/0e96be23cf_0.04MB - Winfart (zip) - 41 KB

Notice the 7z version is smaller - how nice!

Of course it's smaller; It's competing against Zip. That way it's not hard to win
