<div class="IPBDescription">99% done, here's some screenies.</div> First off, please don't complain that they're too dark, they're not, just turn your brightness up, ingame they are absolutely fine.

Anyway, co_dawn is virtually complete, all that there is left to do is playtest it and make any necessary tweaks or modifications. I've submitted it to Flayra for 2.1 inclusion, if it gets in there then i'll be able to do the playtesting then, otherwise i'll just have to wait until 2.1 is complete.

Anyway, onto the screenshots.

(1/7)


*EDIT: Also on my to-do pile is exterior detail. I don't feel it's entirely necessary, but sometime soon i'm going to put an exterior on some places where it should really be, but there's very few points where you should actually see the exterior.

    Looks really good.

    I really like the custom join team signs, and the dawn logo looks absolutely wicked, especially combined with the spotlight. Don't know how combat plays so I can't comment on the layout, but it does look a little square.

    Also, I love your sig.

    Heh, that logo was done in like 5 minutes, i should really do a better one, but i wanted one fast, heh.

    Which reminds me, marine start has a large-ish TSA logo, i may change that to the dawn logo... hmmmm.

    And thanks. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Looks good, and just as tseepra said; the dawn-logo is really cool.
    Good job.

    Good job. I dont know about everyone else, but Ensuna's avatars always scared me. Except for the one anime chick...

    I'm not too fond of the font you used on the signs. Really I look at the observe sign and I see "OGSGAYE"

    Hmm, what does everyone else think?

    Personally i really like them, but i've been using that font for a while and i find it really easy to read because of that.

    *EDIT: One thing that i wasn't pleased about was the size of the font, i wanted to keep each sign the same size but where the observe signs are i wasn't left with a whole lot of room so i was forced to drop the size.

    Both the B and the E look like Gs to me, I agree. The V also does indeed resemble a Y. On the other hand, ALIGN and MARING don't look too far off from what they actually say, and it's very obvious what they mean. OGSGAYE, on the other hand, is almost unintelligable untill you really focus to puzzle it out.

    When the font is bigger, however, it becomes PERFECTLY readable. If you could increase the font size, or change the font only for observe, that would work for me.

    Yeah, those are pretty hard to make out. But then again, people won't pay THAT much attention to it.

    That's the problem, i can't increase the font size otherwise i'll have to do some remapping, and for one sign that's a bit OTT, imho.

    I might just change the font to make it more readable, just to please people. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    How about these?

    *EDIT: Personally, i prefer the more unreadable text, but if it is going to be a problem, i'll force myself to use plain text ones.
  • esunaesuna Rock Bottom Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15175Members, Constellation
    Or should i use the proper wording, but a smaller text size. I still think it's readable.

    I prefer, actually, to use frontiersmen and kharaa, they just sound cooler than marine and aliens.

    Old ones are way better, those look too plain. Even if "observe" looks a little like "OGSGAYE" no one is going to mistake "OGSGAYE" for alien or marine.

    Also, i've just finished up RC4, the main difference (other than a number of entity fixes, and so on) is that i now have a little easter egg in the map, but, obviously, i'm not going to say where it is or how you get there. Here's a mediocre little teaser.

    Yeah, i know, it doesn't look at all special, it's what's behind that counts. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Er, don't think i've even played ns_hear.

    Unless you mean hera, i'd be interested as to why you think that.....

    They're the teleporters into the sekrat room, but that's all i'll say on that.

    There should be particle systems, but i forgot to wait, heh.
  • Drewbar99Drewbar99 Join Date: 2003-05-19 Member: 16505Members
    I'm jus saying that in some ways, this has certain aspects of ns_hera, like the logo of the station, very similar to the Hera Logo, except on a horizontal.

    Plus, I'd like to c if u can make the teleporters look like PG's or close to them, that would look good <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No, if anything the logo resembles ns_eclipse's, but the fact is it's the exact same effect, a sun rising over a planet / moon.

    Anyway, as to the join logo fiasco, here's a shot of all three ingame for reference. I must agree that "observe" is a little obscure, i may try using the text "spectate" instead.
