NS2_ORA skulk got new ?

UncleCrunch

Hi,

NS2_ORA is my map and i decided to play with light in it.
North is blue south red, high contrast in north, warmer mood in south etc...
The thing is that i'd like to provide a skin that fit the whole thing.

Here's a WIP:

Still working on the white dots (could be a balance issue)
What would be the color i should go with?

Thanks for the constructive comments.

looks cool i would use that

I like the work, but I don't understand the point of it?

Are you planning on making the map a mod as well, so you can use the skins you are creating? Is your plan to have the skin color based on the location of the skulk? or a you just trying to create a single custom skin for the map?

Also, why are you creating a custom skin, considering many players already have a wide selection of custom skins to choose from....

Both the skulks look good, I prefer the red one myself, personal opinion, but the blue one looks quite striking too...

Why not ?

For consistency checking issue; it can be relevant.

It doesn't work like that with Spark Engine. Lightning in maps can do great stuff.

As i said, something that comes with the map.

Except if server enforce consistency checking or enables the mods. Servers admin just don't do that for many reasons which one of the top 3 is workshop bugs.

I think I'll go red. Marine = blue the opposite is red or green. Or pink... but some already done that before me isn't it?

Next i try to make the scales (more or less) look more metallic.

Hi,

Well it was a little "pink" ingame. So i modified things.

Plus; now i can change the color of my decorations in one stroke (10mins). So i can produce blue, red, yellow, green, and pink (of course) set of aliens.

I got some little detail to deal with. Like the tube on the skulk nose that shouldn't be colorized (we see it on the blue version). It's a 10 minutes job for me.

The online version of the map contain the red one. Vote for the colors you like/want.

I like blue and the glowing veins

Nordic

Both look cool, but blue stands out more than the red compared to a normal skulk so I like it more.

The Glowy Vein thingys look very nice, I think it would look better if they glowed blue too when they are blue, Also maybe make the fleshy parts blue too.
Also im still a bit confused, are the aliens supposed to chain color as they move to different lighting, or just have a skin to go along with the map?
