Bleeding wounds

<< < (18/20) > >>

Mattn:
a decal system in the renderer would be cool to get the bleeding visible on the ground surfaces of the map. but that's something for the future.

homunculus:
ok, made some icon previews.

1) while it is possible to create somewhat recognizable icons for most bodyparts at that scale, the body wound icon would probably be a trouble.
therefore, i thought that
-in the background there is panel or something, that shows tooltip which lists current wounds and their effects.
-on top of that panel there are images (ghosts) of the bodyparts, colored green, red, or white (which is possible based on grayscale images, afaik).

2) the grown-up human proportions, and even in-game unt proportions made the head too small at that scale, so thought of either abstract (which looked boring) or infant images (a lot of material in public domain fine arts).

i have not tried out how the recoloring works in-game, and if the contrasts are right, etc, because unfortunately, i think i should first try to update my 2.4 hud mod which is broken with the recent reaction fire changes.

and here are some previews with recolored bodyparts (i have the grayscale pieces in xcf files, atm i wonder what peoples opinions are, maybe peeps will tell me that anything but stick figures is not ok):

homunculus:
hmm.. no opinions, which might mean:
1) both are ok
2) both totally suck
3) people are waiting for me to create more variations until i arrive at something agreeable
4) it normally takes at least a month of pondering before taking the responsibility for having an opinion
5) no one is interested in scripting the gui at the moment (and i am busy elsewhere) and therefore this set of images wouldn't be needed immediately (but when those images will be needed one day, then we are not worried about them being ready before that time).

i guess the last option is probably the most likely, so it doesn't make sense to ask if an infant image would be suitable, or if it should be a stick figure.
which, of course, i cannot know for certain, really, as no one has said anything about it.

that being said, i guess i'll drop the matter for now.
i guess i'll check back some time next week maybe, just in case someone has developed some kind of a response by that time.
no guarantee that i am not drawing flying pigs then, and have no interest in cutting infants to pieces :P

H-Hour:
You would probably get more useful comments if you created an image that showed them in-game. You don't have to do the scripting but a screenshot with your stuff pasted in where you want it.

But I feel pretty confident in saying we're not interested in infants, and definitely not in cherubs (or, according to wikipedia, puttos), which you have used here.

Nokim:
i would prefer something in Fallout style but given small size it will be enough abstract...
