[mrel]arms Lab Screen Reskin

Shazbot

<div class="IPBDescription">Just the screen...</div> This is a simple little reskin that I thought was necessary. The little screen on the arms lab always shows that the weapons are being upgraded even when armor is being researched, or when nothing is being researched. It's really small, hope you guys enjoy it...

lol. nice idea, but it takes away the sci-fi edge

Yeah I'd like to see the arms lab actually DO SOMETHING when researching instead of just bouncing around <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

someone should animate it so when its reaserching it says "Reaserching" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

wouldnt that require new coding not just new skin?

JediYoshi

yes, yes it would.

Bijiy

How far into the code are we talking here, like the model's code or the actual NS source?

Daza4

omg silly people. When reaserching the armslab uses the animation "active" All it would require is a new bone, and a few polys.

Shazbot

If I knew how to model, I would probably mess around with the arms lab so that it would say upgrading weapons when the comm upgrades weapons and so on...
I would also add an effect of a hologram being presented from the screen like the below armory I found through searching the ns customization thread using "[mrel]".

There is no reason to have holograms there.

If used properly; yes. Yes they do.

Ya the hologram thing looks really cool, wish someone could do the same with the arms lab.

I don't think it would require any coding, just some model tricks.

That comm chair needs a base...

Shazbot

I want to see a closer picture of that com chair, one where you can actually see the guy...

Hmm, this reskin looks kinda pointless. I mean, you can only see the screen when it's built, that being an indication that it's working, and also the fonts and such that you've used make it look really cheap and tacky.
