oh yeah i forgot to do different worn sprites for kepori because i have no idea where i would start doing that |
|
can't believe we got this for inteq before pgf |
i ran it through my mind the other day - pgf already sort of has the cloaks and those are a little more swag than just pins |
|
ngr and clip next 🙂 |
would love to actually |
|
The icons for this do not really work, they have floating pieces and look more just like the symbol rather than a pin you would wear. Also, what's up with the duplicated mob states? |
Any actual suggestions? I'm not really, like, a world-class spriter.
Accessories are handled strangely. I'm potentially too stupid to figure out an actually clean way to have them render as intended. You can see the other methods I attempted in commits 8b3444a through 44b44d9. |

Actually I remember why, accessories are handled differently than pretty much all other rendering code and thus don't have the same features. It's awful and I hate it. For the sprite, I'd imagine something more like a patch that's affixable to clothing, where the gold bits (that you've already made) would be more of an embossment. Another issue arises in any curved or diagonal sections you've made - they use a gradient of colors (3 shades in a row in this case) where having it be continuous color for most of it would make the shape much better. I'd also really recommend looking into world icon for this - they're huge and I don't think it would be difficult to make a smaller sized version. |

Yeah, alright - I'll give that a shot when I get a minute. |

*Class and perhaps plural "Engineer" to "Engineers"?

The U.S. English "armory" spelling is used predominately in the codebase, and it should be the same here.

Ditto as above. The job manifest uses the U.S. spelling of "Honorable".

About The Pull Request
Implements uniform-attachable rank pins for every member (in-game and not implemented) of the IRMG! At a glance, you can now easily tell who is technically above or below you in the Group (as if that matters)!
What job/rank corresponds to each pin (Class 1 is applied to Inteq ERT at the moment):
Without the clutter:
And, and mspaint mockup of the direct rank structure (using modern NATO paygrades as a reference point) that was formed in loredev the other day:
Also, this is all built to be re-usable if we ever want to do something similar for another faction.
Why It's Good For The Game
Flavour! Flavour is awesome. Sovl
Also, Inteq not having any gold on their turtlenecks is a travesty. This fixes that!
