<div class="IPBDescription">Custom ur gorge, fade, marine etc</div>Hi,

just an idea i had, wanted to share it with you, maybe the dev will like it and will have time to do that after the release. ;)

i thaught about a tool that we can use to custom our models.

See for example the gorge.

everyone got the same one,

but with a tool like this, we can reduce or increase armor size, size the tail, his tooth, claws..

change slightely the color (stay within the one that are given, no yellow green etc on gorge)

kinda like spore. but limited as we have to stay enar the original one, not transform a gorge into a elephant -_-

just so we can all have our custom model?

i think it would be cool, to all personallize our alienz.

i dont know if it doable, because it would make all model be DLed y everyone each game, but if its compressed well, it can be done no ?

that said, u are allowed to NOT troll xD

good day do u all

    Building a customization engine for a model to be used ingame is no small task for a team UWE's size with limited resources and limited time. So I doubt we'll see this anytime soon.

    That being said with the marines now having an "open" face unlike the faceguard in NS1, some optional faces for the marines models would be nice to have tho.

    Also it's been suggested before by forum goers, that the Kharaa should have visible signs on them about what chamber abilities their using eg. visibly larger muscles on legs for "Celerity", more bone armor plates across the body for "Carapace" upgrade and so on.

    This might be a more feasable customization system that gets you what you want with less models needing to be created, mind you it's still a lot of new models to create.

    So in short I doubt this will ever make it into NS2, at least not for release.

    It's called Photoshop. Black marine armor has been in since NS1. It's real easy to change the color of a skin.

    The difference is, built in Customization allowing Black Marine Armor would likely work on 'pure' servers - nullifying one of the Special Edition features. Otherwise, sure, the players could customize their models until they drop but it would be a client side solution (unless the server has a plugin installed to change all client models.)

    I think I've read someone that the Special "Black" Armor is going to be more than just a Re-Texture/Re-Skin of the Default Armor.

    I think it is suppose to be a differnt Armor Model entirely(yet still similar to the Default Armor). Probably going to have some more lights and stuff on it to make it look more "Sci-Fi".

    Someone with master quoting skills could probably find the information.

    *****

    Side Topic: Just like how multiple Marine Faces are planned for after release in a content patch, so it is not just a Clone Army you are fighting as. Female Marine as well(Default and Black Armor variations as well).

    =^_^=

    *****

    Whether or not the Kharaa get something "Special" for the $40 Pre-Order, nobody knows. I hope it makes all the different lifeforms' eyes bright orange like my avatar, like almost glowing bright.

    I would think the class system would mean no customization, but maybe your base character...face region.. dunno.

    I believe it was highly suggested to allow players to add a "sticker" to their armor. Like a special logo or something.

    It was also suggested to have players change the color of their laser pointers, if there are laser pointers.

    Sv_pure for all rightful black armor needs.

    But maybe have some close shades of the default colors and maybe a code or initials on the back of your helmet. Kinda like the halo special code that pops up next to your name, but it will be on the back of your helmet. Helping with recognizing people without massive words and such. Also blocking the use of 1337 and other words such of that if ya wish.
