Anyways... first I changed the red ones into all blue. Next try involved getting rid of all Star Wars-ish color all together and change all glow into suble white. The problem with this is that each and every g*d d*mn model had to be edited in a 3D program for this to work, and a lot of coding had to back it up. Robnkarla helped and the improvement was great. I still don't like the glow though, as it still makes the weapons look like lihtsabers. So... for this beta I had definite plans to use the Banner Carrier glow instead, as a marker for the FB upgrade. But, that would still mean a lot of hordes running around with glowing FX. Especially in the dark. Yuck! So in the true spirit of SEE, I'd like to MINIMIZE all FX and only use it where it's best fitted. Like in magic spells, etc.
Today I think I thought of a perfect solution though... What if we simply made the BC's actual banner change color/symbol? With a significant change in banner look, you'd easily distinguish which hordes have been given the FB upgrade, or not. If we make the BC a prereq for HA, this would work beautifully!
If you disagree, I'd like to hear constructivly why, and what you suggest instead, if NOT the FB glow alltogether (cause it will go regardless)
