02 November 2004 22:00 (UK time) I think the color tint of some objects and also the "lines" on some of the viehcles stating the side looks abit....well tacky. I suggest that we make up a green decal/insignia for the green side and a red insignia for the red side. This would not only look better, but blend in more. I can make an insignia "ruberic" for all 3 sides so far, unless i can get around to creating an insignia for all of the object sprites. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

There needs to be a clear distinction and I think that a subtle change of colour would work best along with the following. It just so happens that I have a loose plan to add the side icons/flags to the sprites. This would be done using some new whizzy new feature in the Sprite Editor. This in turn with subtle colour swapping (being just a few colour changes here and there on each sprite) would work well? You need to login to create posts in this thread.

I like the decals / team coloring system. But to force it during runtime limits artists. I think it would be a nifty optional tool in the sprite editor so that we could quickly pump out every team's sprite sets. Later, we can go back and add touches if we like, without affecting other teams. Or, we can ignore the tool completely, and hand draw everything to our tastes from the beginning.
