IDEA- re-don fire, multicolored fire, up for grabs Options

[Screaming_Dude_In_Vegas]

OK,hears an idea I had, but I don't think I'll get around to.

If you've seen the Screanshots, you'll notice fire is the only thing that lags behind the awsomeness of the rest of the graphics. Basicaly this would replace the fire with a series of good looking sprites, like HL2. This would also be done with the fireball among other things.

The next one is to go into the Spell efect area, and coppy the fire damage effect exactly, and then change the effect to a different colored fire, or maby a prismatic fire.

What do you guys think of these Ideas? Feal free to use them/do them yourself, I'm not much of a image editing person.

Yeah i thought the fire was alittle... unfirey. I think you should do it. It would be cool if you got it done and made it look more real.

I wouldn't say it's the only thing. The skins for all the hairy monsters is sort of bad.

Man, your saying that to somone with no animation or re-texturing expeirience. I also don't have any animation software. I got my trusty Adobe photoshop 7, and thats it. I did the deadric mount picture, and thats about it.

However, I do think we might be able to just move some stuff from HL2 over. Adding slanted fires would also be a good idea. I understand in games like Daggerfall or doom everyone was basicaly a sprite, but you had different views of them based on which way they were facing. Can you implement this with sprites in OB's engine?

[jonajosa]

Well you might try asking for some help then beacuse im a conslor player.

fo' shame

Well, the Idea is up for anyone who feels like it. Dosn't look like it will get done though, oh well...

[Channler]

Well we are still not seeing the final version of the game, so they might of fixed it and we don't know, cant tell till OB come out

the game isn't out yet, and besides, not every modder has seen this. If I had mad computer skils I would do it...sucks for me

I believe you guys might find one or two parts about custom shader-effects mentioned in the recently released E3 video interview quite interesting.

I'm not sure if that will encompass all parts of the idea, but I believe it'll be of use/worth mentioning.

Wow, I can't belive you already gave up on the hope that anyone will ever make your mod 6 months before the game is even out.
