Need advice, re-working ships
« on: October 18, 2019, 01:12:46 AM »
I've had multiple people complain about lack of shading (pretty much all ships) and some sprite quality for Steelclads (mainly the PNS, which is a product of different mish-mash of methods). I have though about addressing it, but the sheer number of images I'd have to go over make this...unfeasable. There are 260+ images in the ships graphics folder (some are glowmaps) and with my limited time, there is absolutely no way I can get it done in any reasonable timeframe.

question is - should I even try? Do people here think SC ships need to be re-worked? And if so, would anyone be willing to lend a hand?

Hum, question: does Steelclad needs everything from Ironclad? Since it's no longer a TC I can hardly believe there isn't plenty of content that can be culled, allowing you to concentrate on the worthwhile ships. Or at least start by doing so first and then work your way down to the less needed content.

There's thing I could cut out....question is what?
Steelclad has 7 major factions, pirate ships, ALIEN, AI.
