AbeFroman wrote:here's a quick update on version 2:
going to have a complete reskin
Going to try my best to fix ALL of the bugs in version 1 by starting from scratch
going to have different camo skins for different maps, for example there will be desert warthogs on desert maps, snow hogs on snow maps, etc
going to change some weapon and vehicle tags
more realistic physics
AR will have DT grenade launcher
I plan on doing some custom animations that sync with the weapon’s sounds(guess it’s time I learn how to model)
No more meta swaps
Driveable pelican and C_dropship on death island (need help on C_dropship, PM me)
A sand texture courtesy of Ombre (I hope)
At this moment in development, im working on the reskin, so far I got Pillar of Autumn (a10) completely done, here's a pic
i've decided to move all updates on V2 to this thread, and today's update is this:
a30 (Halo)'s bitmaps are all done, forrunner structures are rusty
grass has twigs, dandelion-type things and leaves scattered in it, on top of a better actual grass texture
Tree bark is cooler looking, custom branches that look hawt but i didn't take a pic of them
new cliff wall texture

That's cool, but the assault rifle reticle is annoying me.

i just need to make it smoother

Yes, I'd say that's much better.

Do you have a detail map corrupted? Or is it supposed to be rusted and weird :\.

i guess its supposed to be rusted?
i think you coulda done a better marine hand bitmap job, i mean, you can see a big-ass crease right there...

i don't have FP arm skin to go with the TP arms yet because i released a bunch of different camo skins, that one was the l;ast one i made for the marine so he still has that skin from when i took the screenshot, but i plan on making the camo skin change on each map so i didn't apply a different skin, making the camo change on each map will definitely motivate me to change the FP arms, in fact if i had more FOV on the FP you would see that it still is matched to the woodland armor

I'd say that's more smiley than creepy.

I say creepy because it has sharp teeth!
Oh yea I forgot to say, I like the rustic idea thing.

update time:
Truth and Reconciliation finished reskinning
Most of the reskinning was done on the interior of the cruiser, but there are altered bumpmaps and new cliff, bark, and rock skins for the outside part of the level
what do you like about it? what do you not like about it? what should i do to improve upon the things you dont like? don't just say "good..." or "Bad..."

If you skinned the ground to suit the bumpmaps more, that would be great. And I know how you feel about people saying 'good' or 'bad'.
Also, I like the purple walls. Make more purple stuff.
