Eryo's Texture Log

Subject: Eryo's Texture Log Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:40 pm

Hey there, I'm Eryo, and I'm a new texturer. I will supply whatever Dr.Mackeroth, Ectrimble, and fr0stbyte need for texturing, even if others are doing so too.
When I find textures that are needed, I will post them here.

Okay. So I've planned out a 32x32 texture for a weapon we may have in the game, which is the
Laser Rifle:
Eryo's Texture Log KwEXq

If you're going to add a laser rifle, think of this as the main.
But then, where's the laser???
Right here:
Eryo's Texture Log XMyvh

If you need the Laser Rifle, think of this, and if you want me to tweak it, I will gladly do so.
(I can't find a way to increase the size of the photos)
(If you know how, please post it here)

Ok. For 1, that rifle looks like some kinda ACME weapon that Wiley Coyote would use to try to kill the road runner. Please try again, maybe go for something that actually looks like a weapon. For 2, you don't use a texture like that for projectiles, you use a laid out texture similar to how one would skin a player or armor, look in the Item's folder for the arrow.png file, that will show you what kind of texture to use for an arrow.

~~Ah, okay. I'll redo the texture for the gun and look at the arrow.png and modify from there.~~
~~It's been done.~~
~~Forgot the projectile!!!~~
NOW it's all done.

I'm back with more textures! This time, a melee-type one.
Who said in the future it's only guns? What if you're right behind your enemy?
That's where the Nano-blade comes in:
Eryo's Texture Log LVSRO

This high-tech blade is expensive, needing(maybe) an alloy handle (sticks made out of 2 alloy ingots)
and two other alloy/normal ingots of choice(developers, that means to think of which metal fits that)
Just thought I'd bring it up in case of melee-needy situations like backstabbing your enemy.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Sun Jan 29, 2012 7:11 am

It would be great if you could make a chargeable blade which fries the enemy.

mod edit: You're welcome.

Never seen a blade with a hilt that long.

Its a really short two handed sword.

So it's kinda like a 1 and a half handed sword?

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 6:53 pm

A 1-handed sword for people too weak to wield a sword with just one arm!

Nahh the handle is still for 2 hands, but he decided that long swords were over rated and that while fighting off invaders armed with laser rifles you want to be as close as possible to them before you swing

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:09 pm

Well see trying to be the closest possible to a guy trying to kill you with a laser rifle automatically puts you at a huge disadvantage, considering the guy with the laser rifle can and will shoot you from as far away as possible.

I mean, it's cool, but not very practical unless you're fighting in very very small spaces.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:12 pm

Even then you have the factor that laser rifles can operate at close range too.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:19 pm

So all in all...

Short two-handed swords = good idea

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:19 pm

*facepalm*

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:49 pm

Well, that is only for melee purposes only; such as assassinating the captain of the fleet.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:52 pm

That's an Admiral. They're usually holed up in their flagship, surrounded by a fleet, in space.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:03 pm

Surrounded by guards, auto turrets, and blocks and blocks of iron, obsidian, and glowstone.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:05 pm

And laser rifles. Lots and lots of laser rifles...

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Mon Jan 30, 2012 8:07 pm

Laser rifles that can shoot a nanosaber in half.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Tue Jan 31, 2012 1:11 am

Once again you fail to realise that the hard bit is getting aboard ships, not killing everyone once there.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:59 pm

Are you going to add a way to do so? We need good inside takeovers.

Subject: Re: Eryo's Texture Log Tue Jan 31, 2012 7:35 pm

I will compensate for boarding craft by fitting every last bit of free space on my ships with weapons.

You are going to need a lot of tier 5 weapon support systems...

i.e. Your ship will have no radar/sensors, practically no engines, be unable to have a docking port, be fairly small, have little shield, no cloak. What else...
