Armour Reskinning
« on: July 20, 2010, 11:43:20 pm »

I mean, the overall suggestion is here because of the fact that CA Mk2 has a completely original style, so, what about BA, i've been surfing through the NMA forums and found what I see is a suitable replacement.

The Blue combat armour as seen on NMA, and made by Ursa (and i guess x'il too)
would be sweet with some variation, Ive also seen a Leather Mk2 there also, not sure if the Male ones are done though...

Blue isn't really a colour one would associate with military, and BoS is the closest thing aside from the Enclave. The reskin itself is nice, but I just wouldn't like to see all those blue guys running around in TC. Maybe make it something else, like the yellow one that NCR Rangers use?

I agree with Nice_Boat. I believe the blue CA critters were made to replace the ugly NCR policemen critters, not the actual players armor.

How about making it a Vault City colour? It sort of makes sense, since they all walk around in vault suits, so they could have their patrols and caravans wear similarly themed suits of armor. What do you think?

would be quite cool, but still, I've seen that the armour had all the animations, therefor I proposed to have this to add variety to the existing limited amount of variation when it comes to looks without asking for a new armour, but it would be sweet if you'd get a vault city combat armour if you join em, would give some reason to join the faction asides from geting the med module.
 The only two variations are the blue and black one appraised to the Hero sets.

There's this one, but only has a few anims.


Here's what I've found on the LAmk2: (warning, it's hot, a few days old only.):

Looks Cool, a Few different armours should be added ( Player-Used Ones ) Like you should be able to get the Orange CA, the Blue CA And heaps of the Other Upgraded Skins. But This is Pretty Pointless since the 3d Models will be released Some time soon, ( 5-7 Months? ).


But I Really do want a Variety of armours for the players

Pretty senseless to do that when 3d era is coming "soon".

soon, ranging from two months from tow to two years from now, and besides, the sprites have way more of a badass look than the 3d models, although I'm all for the 3d era it shouldn't stop new content from coming in, really guys, I thought you knew better...

If you look at X'il's topic, a lot of new critters are done and could be implemented to FOnline. Could be seriously great :) But I don't know if devs want to implement new 2D critters, when they're working on 3D era.

how do people do those reskins? I've read this:
http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/Greyscaling_and_manipulating_FRM_sprites

But the one .FRM file I did took about an hour to do. Do they seriously do them all by manually or is there a batch colour conversion program you can use?

It's all done manually by hand. Sure there are some automatic photoshop action files, but with that the critters look like shit.
So you have to edit frame by frame. If you want to do every weapon animation one player can make, it's ~53.000 images to edit. Now, take it for different amor types etc. It's a very tedious work.

thanks, after reading more of the link i have a better understanding of how to do it. X'il posted up a .psd that explained a lot.

But 53,000? geez some people are dedicated
