I'd still like to see the player models somehow crowbarred into F2, just to be sure. It is motivated by my wild desperation.
Simple recoloring critters will not work. Many people tried already and there has never been very good results.
It doesn't change the fact that for each simple recolor, there's a dat needed, and the size can get big rather quickly, so 3D really is the way to go. critter frms aren't fun to work with unless you're a masochist.
Wait, you don't mean about setting FOnline on 3d engine?
It's already a 3D engine, or 2.5D if you will. Just because you have a 2D plane doesn't mean you can't use 3D models there.
