free host won't let me use [img] tags :(

Sounds like a good idea, but too complicated. Custom decals on armors would rock though (with an option to turn them off).

ya. i know... its only a 15x15 bitmap and the plane i used had 15X15 polys. if you can add that to the game(225 polys) witout slowing anything down weare good to go...

They had it in RB6, and it worked well I think.

but they're so small who cares?

excellent idea. I support =)

Decals shouldn't be limited to the arm. Think of how you could tattoo your creature in Black and White. Now imagine doing the same to your armor. :bigthumb:

Might be too small for most people to notice. But it might be a nice way to make your character more individual.

My somewhat related suggestion is that each team would have an own banner. This banner would show up on base walls, on the score screen and of course on the flag (among other appropriate places). Maybe even have a smaller banner hover on the players' heads when in observer mode. This would give the game more of a sports/war feel.

The banner idea might require some additional admin settings, since it applies to the whole team, but it shouldn't be a problem with a decent admin interface.

Have you played any tribes game? The tribe's logo were plastered all over the bases.

Until triple came up with a goatse armpatch.

I think he means a logo you upload or something that replaces the tribe logo with your team's.

Yeah that's what I meant :P

You can do that in T1 (don't care about T2). But people don't want to download new textures. :|

Well, that depends on how custom textures are handled in T:V.

If the server has custom content that is replacable by default content, then there really is no need to download anything. If you want to see the textures, you'll download them on your own. If you don't, you'll just see the default ones. If the server doesn't have the textures, you won't see them even if you had them.

This obviously wouldn't work with more extensive modifications, such as maps and models, but it would not make custom textures a server killer.

Of course, I have no idea how they plan on handling these kind of things, so...

i dont think so. have a option to turn it off and it will be fine, dont want it? dont take it. also a admin command will need to be created to remove the armband from a player(replace with a "Baned" armband :p )

stupid idea imho

and pretty positive this wont be in T:v
