Ah ok. Fair enough. Does that rule out unique texturing for one unit completely then?

The OTA models were shambling masses of junk in 3D, but they were way easier to tell apart imo. Especially between Core and Arm.

Yes. Why would you stop at one unit then? If you are using an atlas, to then take it and make a specific 512x512 or whatever for an individual unit defeats the point of what behe is doing.

Arm are core use very different atlases.

I never said give a unit its complete own texture. I mean just making sure every unit has something unique about its texture that stands out like the yellow and black stripes on cons, glowing red eye of the rezzer and various other unique textures and visual effects. These are good things and the more of these the better.

Yeah nvm, you're right. I didn't take a good look at BAR's Core units properly.

Maybe I can get the umbrella back one day, if my animation/lua skills improve, but in the meantime I notice in-game you fixed animation problems with unexpected awesomeness. Nice work!

>:D can the head poke out when it is not being attacked? for funsies?

the head retracts when it is attacking, but ill move that bit to hitbyweapon then:)

That's not funsies; That's an excellent idea.
(initially I imagined head out underwater, but this beats it I'd say.)
