'[R-PUB wrote:MrD']Have you go details as to what lag issues will effect the players who need to draw those textures? Will they be only drawn for people with graphics set to a certain level and if introduced right now, with any resulting lag, however small, how will it effect the current ongoing optimisation of certain maps?

AFAIK these textures would perform no differently than the current textures. They are the same file sizes, etc. Just look better... they're no more complicated or tweaked or anything. They behave the same way current textures do now... great looking on high, ok on low. I checked them in game on all different settings... messed with my graphics card a little bit too. All works well.

I hope that Blackhawk texture makes the next release! I mean, a texture isn't that hard to implement, just replace the file! Shouldn't cause any problems if Maistros has tested it.

I am not one that makes a lot of suggestions around here, but since I see how nice this is, I too would like it to make it into PR. Why cant we have an urban skin and a desert skin? We have cars that have the option, wouldn't it be nice to have a camouflaged aircraft for once.

You can have, it's a map option, so yeah i'd agree with that...

Suberb work Maistros.

Yeah, really nice work. I'd almost ask you to make some stuff for me, but I guess you're busy. I really want that BH skin in the next release!

Very nice. Since you can change the colors of the skins can you also change the model its self in a way? Nothing big, just that from what i have heard Cobra's have 2 rotors, which is what gives them their loud "thumping" sounds. Its nothing seriours just wondering, but your skin does make it look like a killing machine.

Ok. Thank you.

I don't think you can change the model... only texture

Griffon2-6 · Post by **Griffon2-6** » 2007-02-03 13:28

And you can't change EA models anyway, although you could do a skinning trick by alpha chanelling the two other rotors so that they don't show up.

'[R-PUB wrote:Maistros']Well it's not just the text I changed the entire coloring and detail of the material of the chopper itself has been improved.. check out my latest two skins:

Cobra:

Blackhawk:

Did these all this morning, in about 2 hours.

That Blackhawk looks badass now. I would like to see that implimented and maybe the Cobra as well, but not the chocolate chip one because that isn't exactly realistic.

Maistros · Post by **Maistros** » 2007-02-03 15:19

Yeah the chip one was for fun, and humor. The one in the post you quoted is what I would like to see be put in.

As far as im aware, Marines just use Grey/silver on all there aircraft. That Cobra looks pretty spot on. Now we just need a Huey.

Yea, I think this is true, though it needs to be dirtied up a bit.
