<div class="IPBDescription">\o/</div>I thought of having a go at making join-textures... So here they are:

<span style="color:gray">Got the dices from:

<a href="http://members.home.nl/m.borgman/ns-forum/artwork/koujis-jointextures-01.zip" target="_blank">koujis-jointextures-01.zip</a>

Oh and free to use for anyone who want to use them (I'm only asking a little mentioning in the credits if you use them :p ) Happy mapping "<i>and customizing perhaps</i>"

Yeah, seriously.

Nice job though, I'd love to see it in game.

taboofires · March 2004

The kharaa one looks out of place compared to the random/marine icons. Very different styles. The TSA logo and dice are sweet, so chance the kharaa icon to something... less flat.

Wonder why you'd need to make these into sprites. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' />

Erm, that would be made by the mapper <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

Oh, and good job Kouji. I won't be using them since I've got my own (I prefer just text) but they're nice anyway.

*using*

*edit: using, if I can <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

esuna · March 2004

Personally, i don't much like them. I prefer simple text ones and using the mapping to detail what team it is.

*EDIT: Sorry, for clarification, i mean i don't like the concept of them, not the fact i don't like the images.

Kouji_San · March 2004

Hehe, thanks for the replies...

My idea of the dice came from the casino, playing chance games is just like jumping into a hole (some maps) and not knowing what team you'll end up in...

I posted them here to make them public, and if you wan't to use them for your map be my guest, I'd love to see them used in some maps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />
I'm not sure if I'm going to use them in my map... Depends on the RR style (that part is not yet finished in my mind <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> )

I'll put them in a WAD file so you don't have to do that yourself...

Cool btw to see them ingame <b>g0opy</b>(haven't tried them out yet)

[edit]<ul><li>Changeing the Kharaa to a less flat one (uploading it here in a minute as an extra one)</li><li>The flickering effect is indeed done by the mapper in the editor</li></ul>Old Kharaa join sign (for comparing)

Kouji_San · March 2004

New Kharaa join sign

Aezay · March 2004

I know the spectate icon is green, but I think the "Join Kharaa" would look good green instead of red.

Kouji_San · March 2004

Green could work, but I'm not going to work on it anymore <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />
However I can explain why I have choosen these colors:

<b>TSA = <span style='color:blue'>blue</span></b>
I've choosen blue since we asosiate blue with the good guys (police, the alied in worldwar 2 games, the smurfs <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> )

<b>Aliens = <span style='color:red'>red</span></b>
Red is usually the evil color and I think it's safe to say that we all think the Kharaa are evil.

<b>Spectate = <span style='color:green'>green</span></b>
Green because the spectators are not participants in the war perhaps,, actually I'm not sure about this one btw, it could work for the Kharaa sinse their blood is green...

<b>Random = <span style='color:orange'>orange</span></b>
choosing the random way out is like playing with fire (orange). One never knows the outcome... (well if one does not press tab to see which team is in need of players ofcourse <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> )

Maveric · March 2004

Join Marines is good, Join aliens should be Green (The aliens are partially green, after all) the spectate should be yellow (Yellow stripe down yer back, eh? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> ) and random is <span style='font-size:23pt;line-height:100%'><b>NICE!!!</b></span>

Hmm...

TSA, blue, yes.

Kharaa... evil? HAH! No way, they're just another race fighting for their existance. If anything, the marines are evil >:/ (you probably notice I prefer Kharaa <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />).
It should be green in my opinion, anyway.

Spectate should be white, since that is a neutral colour.

Random sounds good as well.

Kouji_San · April 2004
