Comrade Raptorkov 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2008 Well I hope not, let's discuss what would look cool, and I'll bug nem to code the coolest idea. :lol: Anyways, right now its this lame white 1s and 0s that just goes up then down on the target. Man is it lame. My idea is no beam or connection effect at all. Just a faction symbol of the target area, or maybe some cool "attack here" kind of deal, could be a faction flag (transparent so people can still see what the hell is happening), then maybe a glowing effect around it. Or why not have a bunch little arrows that fly out from the officer and scatter around the target area. Well what ever, it's just so lame. Makes me want to smash my head through a window so I don't have to see it anymore. Ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nem 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2008 I make particles not models. A faction symbol is Korona's domain. :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korona 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2008 I hate the veterancy symbols a hell of a lot more. But it's all about readability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Count von Phoib 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2008 I was always thinking about a flare. Of course, then you need an officer who shoots a flare gun :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuersturm 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 I agree with Rap's first statement. I hate that 1 - 0 - 1 line from Hacking Lotus. I find it silly, Id rather have no line and transparent then that thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comrade Raptorkov 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 I have an idea for the veterancy, ribbons? the last one can be a medal. and I like phoibs idea of a flare, perhaps even colored smoke, like the beacon but smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyHarry 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 well, i think we should abbolish the officer targetting thing, and keep the boost effect on the nearby friendly units thing. that lotus beam is bugged, it causes a sound error. when one of ur units is near an enemy officer it will constantly scream under attack. its really annoying - u think something important is going on lol but its not. Good comment from raps, DirtyHarry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuersturm 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 As Rap put it so well. If I have to continue seeing it....I'll take his advice. Well what ever, it's just so lame. Makes me want to smash my head through a window so I don't have to see it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comrade Raptorkov 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2008 Well I think he should still "attack" otherwise he will run ahead of the group[ and get killed. But perhaps no visual and a sound effect would be better, you could do the gla mob sound or maybe the cheer that you get when you hit ctrl + c I think it'd be cool and a group of units automatically cheered when you use attack move and while fighting and stuff. Can the hoard bonus and attacking status trigger sounds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For what its worth, I think the flare gun is the best idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
