Ingame Collectable neocron Artwork for each item.

[Benjie]

There is too much similar artwork in Neocron, even after the new artwork was added recently. 3 different variations of a weapon should not all look identical on the 2d picture. All rares should have a uniqe 2d icon so it would mean somthing to collect them all.

So then there would be a reason to collect a lot of the items in Neocron and it would make the Vendors inventory look a lot more satisfying.

Here are some examples of things that can change. I have also suggeted some renames for some of the weapons as some are a bit crap and some havn't got names yet.


Unlabled -item- (would keep same 2d icon artwork)
Standard -item- (easyer to refere to) (new 2d artwork of item from a different angle and with a label)
Tangent -item- (Tangent Logo on Label for 2d picture)
Cursed Soul - New 2d Artwork
Silent Hunter - New 2d Artwork
Judge - New 2d Artwork
Liberator - New 2d Artwork
Devils Grace - New 2d artwork
Vein Ripper - new 2d artwork
Electric Tempest - new 2d artwork
Pain easer - New 2d artwork
First love - nw 2d artwork
Judgement Day Launcher - new 2d artwork
Rare weapons - new 2d artwork
Brass Knuckle-Dusters (same 2d picture)
Gold Knuckle-Dusters (would need a 2d picture change)
Spiked Knuckle-Dusters (would need a 2d picture change)
Laserblade
Laserblade MKII (new 2d artwork for the variation)
Laser Saber
Laser Saber MKII (nw 2d artwork for the variation)
Double-edged Sword
Titanium Double-edged Sword (new 2d artwok)(more melee weapons are being added) (http://neocron.jafc.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74216)
Antique Double-edged Sword
Beggar Electroshocker > Low Wattage Safety Shocker (because not all noobies are beggers)

A closed thread?

That would be nice, but the fps tradeoff would be too big.

[QuantumDelta]

For most of that I wouldn't mind too much....(...as long as they were improvements)
however, @ Vehical comp parts / etc.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Any CSTer/BRTer/Researcher - whatever, who uses parts on a regular basis will preach how much of a blessing the parts are as they are now, uniform within their set.

[Heavyporker]

QD's right about the item parts. One EXPECTS them to be uniform... and the color coding is a boon.

Okay I see your point, and not being a constructor I have no ground to argue on so I completely agree. :) But Heavyporker don't you like the idea that all your rare items would all look great? To be honest I can imagine the 2D artwork to be a tad over the top on rare items. Very "graphical" and detailed. A lot of exadurations. Somthing colourfull that really could resemble a peice of colectable artwork. Or it could be up to the developers to decide what to draw. I hope they become inspired by this thread and go off doing what they love best. :rolleyes: :)

diffrence between 20 and 15 ist that bad :P

[Kasumi]

I could change the vehicle parts.. and stuff.. atleast the 2D icons.. but i doint see a point to it.. because the 3D models will look completely different to the 2D Icons.. -_-* if that makes any sense ;)

Yes, indeed.
Unless you post some new 2d weapon designs with them.

Easy to make ItemGFX. (OK not as easy as i want it to be, but hey)

And its pretty easy to share those changes with friends/the community by install scripts.

[Heavyporker]

yes, I agree, good looking superiors would rock, and many things could do with betetr gfx...

[Benjie]

When I was a Tank, I went mad trying to collect _all_ of the melee rare weapons. I just wanted them because I thought they where "quaint". Yes even the Electric Tempest.

So you can see where I am coming from. It would be nice to have 1 of every rare weapon in your appartment(s) before you start selling off the parts.

You could become a true collecter.


But the think that really gets me is the fact that the Neocron Artists at reakktor could go nuts making these beutiffully designed rare weapon icons, and some Nice Spiked Knuckles, or whatever. Any official replies to be expected in this thread?

Hell... I would be happy if you could tell the difference between phosphor and uranium, x-heated and radioactive, and all the other different ammo types.

That would be kinda sweet actually. Colour coded dots at the bottom of the icon that represent what damage it does. It already gives you this information anyway but anybody in a clan looking for a fire modded weapon/whatever will probabally appriciate this. Black dot for Peircing damage, brown for force, pink for psy, green dot for poison, red for fire, white for energy and blue for xray. Also a + for damage mod, * for light, I for scope, / for silecer, a - for range mod, and a > for rate of fire mod.

Handy because instead of having a: "Cooled Xheated Enlarded Enlarged Tangent Plasma cannon with a flashlight constructed by Random Fatass"that you can guarantee to never read in the title, you would be able to shortcut it with this:"...++*"
It would be very lazy but handy. =)
