Development > Artwork
New Feature: "Glow" textures
docwild:
A glowing gun ought to increase the chances of being hit from a distance. They look very nice, I just don't think anyone would ever build a tactical weapon like that. The army does whatever it can to eliminate muzzle-flash, for instance. Being aliens though, maybe they haven't read Sun Tsu's Art Of War and all the old tricks are new again. Maybe that's the way to beat them, we could build a giant wooden rabbit...
MCR:
A pk3 patch for the weapons has been sent to Sourceforge.
I hope you all like the new, upgraded weapons like I do, although they might not be 'realistic' whatever that may mean in a game with plasma blasters, laser pistols, particle beam cannons, U.F.O.s & aliens ::)...
Here are the raw & unedited cut-outs (maybe incomplete) in xcf file format, if someone wants to play around with them... ;) :

(doublechecked, should work...)
Hertzila:
MCR, can you make the glowmaps that are along the barrel/muzzle flare brightly when the weapon is fired? Since, if following my heat radiator explanation, those glowy parts on plasma and particle weaponry that are along the barrel would glow because they are working to prevent the meltdown of the weapon. So, when fired, they would do extra work when they try to remove the heat from the discharge.
Think of it as an alien version of muzzle flash.

I doubt they have read any of their own warfare books either, if they have even written any. Maybe that's why we humans are beating them.

Mattn:
i've reworked some parts of the glow management, looks like i broke the material glow with it, but at least it's no longer glowing everything now, the mesh glow looks fine now on my hardware, geoscape, too.... feedback is welcome. are you getting brush glows?
