A waste.

Nightwurm Warrior Member # 4583	written Wednesday, July 21 2004 08:33 Profile Homepage #0 If you're a graphics editor, you might know what I'm talking about. Your PCs graphic file consists of two columns, one is for the unarmored version of your PC, holding different weapons and a shield; the other is for the armored version. Don't you think this is a waste, who isn't going to be wearing armor? Why not save that column so you can edit the movement of the character when they cast spells? If all of this has been confusing, I'm sorry, don't pay attention to it, I'm just expressing my opinion. -------------------- "Fall in CHAOS!!!" Dark Archon.

Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Wednesday, July 21 2004 09:11 Profile #1 I would've personally wanted those little graphics to be multilayered sprites that could be imposed on each other, though in a very rigid way. At least that way you could change what evey item looked like in the graphics. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, July 21 2004 09:40 Profile Homepage #2 The new version of the HLPM (set for release later today, once I, er, work out one or two final bugs) strips the characters naked at one point on the "god" setting. It is rather odd to see what they look like without armor, because I'd actually never seen it before. I hadn't noticed until someone pointed it out that while casting spells, the PCs remain in pose 2 (normal combat) rather than going into pose 1 (attacking). It seems like they should just look like they're attacking, because it looks much cooler that way. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Eldiran Shock Trooper Member # 4154	written Wednesday, July 21 2004 17:43 Profile #3 Yeah. It's a bit strange, because NPCs go into attack pose when they cast, but not us PCs. -------------------- You're a moron if you think I'm not. Posts: 213 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00
Nightwurm Warrior Member # 4583	written Wednesday, July 21 2004 18:49 Profile Homepage #4 That's exactly what I meant when I posted before, but nobody got that. I wonder if something will be done. -------------------- "Fall in CHAOS!!!" Dark Archon. Posts: 74 | Registered: Saturday, June 19 2004 07:00
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, July 21 2004 18:54 Profile Homepage #5 No, nothing will be done. I suppose Jeff could change the thing about the combat poses, and for the new engine for his next game he might make something like what Eldiran suggested for the graphics, but for BoA, we're pretty much stuck with what we have. My assumption is that if it's not clearly and undisputably classifiable as a bug, Jeff will not change it for BoA.
