[T:V] so whats the flag going to look like?

only screen shot i saw with one in it was this (http://images.tribalwar.com/images/tribalwar/media/32/tribesV_082103_004a.jpg) and it sucks hanson's left nut. i miss t1 flags.

There was one of a rotating holographic flag in the rover video, and something newer than that in the press conference vid.

I imagine that's one of those things that might not be completely decided yet.

i think thrax said it was just goin to be a stick...:shrug:

thrax says everything is just going to be a stick.

If I'm not mistaken, thats not actually a CTF flag. Thats just a point of interest flag or something like that. Regardless, its a placeholder.

i heard it was going to be a stick with a piece of paper on it saying "T1 source code"

(are jokes allowed in here?)

I would think having a ragdoll-flag would be neat to see. It would react to the player movements, but as the flag portion itself is not mission critical, the client side animation would easy to code for since it would essentially need relatively minor calculations.

It should be a blow-up doll dressed like Julia.

Either that, or a b*tchin' guitar.

Are we going to be able to shoot it around on the ground like T2?

no. dear god no.

i dont think we can shoot the flag anymore.

The less T:V is like T2 the better.

I believe I remember from a recent video that the flag has a smoke effect when its down. I think it was the press conference video, and was in the "coluseum" map. I looked kinda like this:

At the top colored smoke billowed out. I thought that was kinda cool, since it would make the flag be noticable but not have the strange "next-to-a-nuclear-reactor" glowing effect.

Eh I tried... thats what I get for being creative.

Ok, you're either shooting for some hot girl on girl action,

... or some FLCL stuff...

could you shoot the flag around on the ground in T1?

no Starwind.

I believe it will look like a giant chedder cheese Ritz Cracker with 2 hoses attached to it on the side. Now the hoses on the cracker will prolly be tied to the tales of 2 donkeys pulling at the cracker in opposite directions so it doesn't look silly or anything.

That's my first theory, but there is also a small chance it will look like a piece of rectangular cloth on a stick.

after a few 100 patches in T2 shooting the flag was good

I hope you cannot concuss the flag in T:V. If anyone wants to read a huge, detailed, point by point post, displaying exactly why I think you shouldn't have the flag moved by your shots, then just ask, and ye shall recieve.
