Hi all!
I FINALLY making a mod, STICK FIGURE COMBAT!! (w00t!) :P
So I was thinking... Do blender egdes come out right in Spring?
Or do I need to make rectangles for the leg and arms etc.?

[PS. Can Wings have just egdes!??!]

Just edges? No. Don't try making a model entirely out of edges, 'cos that really won't work...

Use cylinders (6 or 8 sides will do)

Here is my first try at making a stick figure:

So, how should I make it so the commander dosn't look like everybody else?

And, do any of you guys want to help this project? :?

Hmm. I'd suggest you research human proportions.

As for the commander, I dunno. Give him a cowboy hat or a rediculously oversized gun.

It's the alpha layer of the first texture :wink:

Well, since I want the only texture to be the team color, what can I do?

Make the base texture white
Make the teamcolour texture white
Make the reflection map black
Make the self-illumination map white

(this is assuming you're using the 4-bitmap Upspring .dds method)

Well, I'm using the .tga method, so I filled a .tga with alpha (255, 0, 255).
In Upspring this looks fine, and the team color test worked.

Will this aslo work in Spring? (I'll find out 4 myself in a min or two, :P)
