it's incredibly easy to see people.

which is considered by some good.

please do not take this consideration under monopoly, it is not shared by all.

there is nothing wrong with the player skins IMO.
and there are many topics about this so search please.

If it is suppose to be arcade like, why did UrT break away from quake 3. I really think if the Dev Team is not going to improve the physics. They should at least improve the models. It's sort of boring without the fog affect and with harder to see characters.

[QA [T] BludShoT]

If you knew the history of urt, you would know that the models got easier and easier to see over time. In 2.0 you could barely tell the teams apart and the skins were dark brown or black. So I don't think this kind of suggestion is going to be accepted at all, because it's contrary to the direction UrT evolved into over years.

I'd hazard a guess that the player base is broken down something like this over the idea:

- some tiny number of people want fog and hard to see players
- tons of pubbers really don't care and are fine playing the way it is
- almost the entire competitive community of clans and leagues would dislike harder to see model skins, and a few of them actually want easier to see skins than what we have now.


I proposed something like these:
(although actually I'd like something even cooler with like shaders and stuff lol)




So at least you can be glad they don't look like that I guess

really?
if they did that 4.2 would never ever be finished, due to all the dumbass suggestions that could be toggled on a server.

the code is already there its just a matter of packaging the models and adding a few code "tweaks" to tell it what model to load

It's very unlikely that players would purposely choose to use harder to see skins if given the choice.

Yeah, for sure. I was thinking of "hardcore" servers where the tactical skins could be used, and players would be forced to use those skins on such servers. I don't imagine it would be too difficult for someone like 27 to code such functionality, if he wanted to. Sort of like how we have Rud's custom maps and other custom map-only servers, which I just delete from my Qtracker list, rather than having a random custom map thrown in a normal cycle, emptying an otherwise healthy server.

Probably. I don't have a problem seeing the red models on Casa, which is of a similar color scheme. Those Tombs videos look pretty good.

Cod4 is a tactical shooter? Then UrT must be a milsim.

Point was it could be played like one.

I was mainly referring to the prone comment.

I'm going to say what many are thinking: that's actually a good argument for the other side; they look like being from the mod autoaim and agbd made for fun.

personally I would love to see darker camo skins as a OPTION it would make for good target recognition training in pubs
remember brite skins are just a cvar away
its a matter of personal taste rater then OMG you will ruin the game

[QA [T] BludShoT]

mitsubish, when it comes to competition, the last thing a player is caring about is whether the skins look realistic. All I'm thinking is damn, I can't see the orange skins very well way across abbey, or damn, the blue skins sometimes get lost in blue-ish maps like turnpike. It's not like it's the end of the world or a show-stopper or anything though.

Some people say they can always see the skins really easily and that I must be on crack if occasionally they are difficult for me to see. That's fantastic for them, good on them and their eyeballs, but it doesn't change my perception. But with no AC, and an open source game, people can totally run brightskins and dull textures and all that, so at least if the skins were easier to see then the cheaters (using impossible to detect cheats) wouldn't have as much of an advantage.

So to me, those skins I did (and I just slapped them together, I didn't take my time or make them awesome or anything) would actually be a wonderful little improvement for me when I'm playing in competition. But I do think any kind of brightskin type option should probably be confined to match mode or something like that. Anyhow it's pretty irrelevant, I don't think they will ever do stuff like that.
