Man, the old battle damage textures where so much better than the birdshit textures we have now. I desperately wish it was - like a High Res Texture Pack - an option you can turn on, performance be damned.

The Centurion in particular had outstanding battle damage textures. Really fantastic.

This is what the Centurion looked like one year ago 5-6-13

aha! footprints? how high can this go?

Okay so while this sale is still going on.. I could use new patterns.

So what mechs would you want to see (included in the sale) and what patterns? Bring some of your friends in to throw some ideas down. Screen cap your mechs with said patterns perhaps? Lets see what you've got, 'cause tomorrow the sale ends.

I've allotted enough to get 4 patterns (and already own many patterns so you might not be as 'left out' as you might think if you suggested something I might already have).

Is it sad that I had to go and look up what was on sale?

I don't know how the patterns look on most of the mechs - they are kinda out of my budget, so I only have 2 patters on 2 chassis (one on Commando one on Centurion)
...Not counting the Pheonix Hot Rod.

Probably could get bonus points from some players for making a Spider on fire - but I don't know whether that would be worth it.

Trebuchet maybe?


Honestly, I want to give some feedback/critique to Lordred, but his technique and set up are far better than what I would expect, and I have nothing to say right now.

That terra therma one with the wolverine looks AWESOME! Love the focus on the (to my eye) greatly detailed explosions!

oh man I wish that the arms of the Catapult would size down depending on what you have in it. But that looks sexy.

I'd like to help. What would I need to do?

Awesome thread by the way.

[IraqiWalker]

I never noticed the Protector had SLDF on it's arm. That is pretty cool.

[Lordred]

Banshee has all 2k res body.rgb files for every camo
The mech + every camo for the Banshee weighs in @ 152MB

The Griffin has all 1k res body.rgb files every camo (Phoenix excluded)
The mech + every camo for the Griffin weighs in @ 113MB

We have 29 Mechs in the game

Excluding Founders, Phoenix Mechs, and Heros.

average for 2k res body.rgb's would be about 4,408MB (4.4GB) for all 29 mechs
average for 1k res body.rgb's would be about 3,248MB (3.2gb) for all 29 mechs

(That's total amount on your computer in an unpacked state.)

Just some numbers.

As in the size of the images or the size of the files that give us that - in game?

The total amount of space used by the game on your HD, in an unpacked state. that is the size difference.

1.2 Gigs then.

Seems kinda odd - why would you pay more for the 1st 1K than the second?

Or is that ignoring the size of the files for the mech themselves?
(IE am I forgetting to calculate that)

[Lordred]

The total unpacked (uncompressed) filesize footprint of all 29 mechs would be those two sizes within a few % if they made all of the mechs either 2k res (higher quality) vs 1k res (lower quality)

As it stands all mechs, except for the Jenner have a 2k res Specular (how light interacts with the mech, and how its base texture quality is), but most only have a 1k res body.rgb (thats the paint job how crisp it is or looks)

The mechs with 2k .rgb/.spc look the best. I am just feeding you guys info.


As it stands right now, all 29 mechs occupy 3.62gb on your hard drive when unpacked, while packed however it only takes up 2.15gb

Having all 29 mechs be 2k, once packed would be about 2.5gb
Having all 29 mechs be 1k, once packed would be about 1.5gb
