There are a couple of graphics of the basic/adv bones which bug me. I know there are much more important things to focus on if another patch does come, but hey, it's somethin, plus I've already made the graphics, so,

These are the current basic/adv graphics. Look at the skull of each and the foot of each:

----The following can be skipped, it's an explanation of what's wrong in the previous graphics.----

Here is the trend for the ribcage, arm, and leg for the basic bones. The actual "bone" part is colored with a normal bone-y light tan color, and the JOINTS of the bone (or connection on the ribcage) is the part that is gold. Look at the basic skull. The "bone" part is gold, so that's backwards, and the re-inforced part looks kinda like yellow sandpaper. Now look at the basic foot. The joint part (the heel and ankle) is light tan, so that's backwards, and the gold part (the part that should be light tan) isn't really gold, it's more of a brown.

The trend for the advanced bones (the ribcage, arm, and leg) is the exact same as the basic, the joints are still the same gold color, except the bone part is now blue. Well, the skull is right in this case, aside from that yellow part not looking much like gold. The foot has the blue parts in the right spot unlike the basic foot, however the gold part is light tan instead of gold.

--------

Now, here are the changes I've made:

The basic skull has it's colors fixed and the reinforced part..sorta..looks more like gold. The basic foot had it's colors reversed since the jointed part is what needs to be gold. The advanced skull is almost the same, just tried to make the yellow look more like gold, and darkened the blue a little bit since it was a tad bright. And the foot has had the light tan part turned to gold, since it's a joint of the bone (heel).

What do you think?

It was my browser after all.

Whilst I think it's an improvement; I'm not sure it's very important.

I noticed it years ago, but ignored it.

Good work though; yours do look nicer.

Thanks. Sure it's not a major thing, but I figure if the work is already done it couldn't hurt to add them. :)

You really can't? The basic foot/adv foot and the basic skull/adv skull are what I edited. Here, now look with them right next to each other:

Old basic -> new basic

Old adv. -> new adv.

They aren't big changes by any means, just little color scheme/pattern errors.

Good find mate and nice fix, how ever I'm not positive it'll be changed any time soon! :D

Thanks. Probably won't be added, but maybe. I remember the graphics being changed once in Nc1, a user made the new gfx. However, not 100% correct. In fact the adv adv foot is actually what the basic foot looked like in Nc1! The skull was almost the same, I think the colors were flipped.

also why does the head bone face left and the foot bone face right?

It does look better and even though it might not be what we consider all that important, yet the detail is what makes the whole.

Just take a look at anything that has a visual design, the more detail the better the overall impression becomes and the less detail the more cheap/plastic-ish it becomes.

The GUI shdnt be compared/measured up against functionality, as those are two totally different things.

Ofcourse to some ppl it doesnt matter if their car look like a wreck as long as it runs, but im sure no one would mind if it both ran and looked good at the same time. ;-)

After all we're human beings and every single human being out there are affected by their senses, that includes visual as well as anything else, so ofcourse looks matters to everyone. :-)

what if you were blind, deaf, dumb, lost sense of smell and touch and had your tounge cut off in a nasty game of rock paper scissors?

LOL to be frank, i didnt bother wasting space on writing about that as I assume everyone here is capable of figuring that out for themselves. ;-)

Sometimes.........when I'm alone.........I look at the improved bone graphics and touch myself.

I will commend you for the work, but alas i feel it's a wasted effort :( Maybe turn your hand to Improving the Graphics of other icons?

Such as the rare parts? Does my nut in trying to sort them by a stupid little letter, would be cool to see parts looking different.

Or Ammo? Differing Ammo like phosphor or uranium all look the bloody same, maybe create differing icons?

Other annoying same icon items? Stealth Tools, Cst gel etc , Weapon Mods and the list goes on....

Surely these could be used like they used to be in the NCPro? Wait...a....minute....isn't there a little utility on release, to change the look of icons in game? no time to search but sure there is!

Use your talent and create some uber looking icons that I can add in to the game myself!!
