Parasite/hivesight Improvements

SuperSammo

Currently when running into a marine base/outpost that has been parasited can cause much havoc on the screen and make it difficult to determine buildings from enemies. Is there any chance next patch hivesight could show some other colour (ie blue) for buildings?

cheers

I was going to suggest two different yellow blobs. One for lifeforms, others for structures.

I would like a button to be able to turn hivesight on and off or maby set the icon optacy down to any %.. 50 or so if thats even possible. When actually facing an enemy it can sometimes get in the way..

Not a big problem at all though, perhaps something for future versions...

Keep up the great work Team!!

yeah thats fukking irritating, when i storm the marines from a vent as a lerk, or just rush them as onos/fade it comes up like 1337 (<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->) yellow "rings"? so i cant see a thing, so **obscenity** irritating... they should do something about that, if they do something, it would become very easy 2 see what is a building/human

i agree, have marine hivesight show buildings in a different color, and the ability to turn them on/off (say when your attacking a base and need every pixel you can get) that would be nice too.

I dunno, I mean, it's just a simple biological parasite, how the hell does it know what it's attached to?
As far as it disspearing, well, afaik, if you have direct los with a parasited object/player, the rings dissapear, but I agree, having an option to lower opacity/completely eliminate it would be nice.

GigaPeon

I'd also like to see alien resource towers, maybe in a different color, like green, that way you know your hive locations and your resource locations that need to be defended. its nice that they appear in red while being attacked, but whatever

yellow for marines, blue for bldings, white for teammates, green for hives, orange for oc/dc/rt, flashing red/green for attacked hives, flashing red/orange for attakced oc/dc/rt...or something
