Decals or "Skins" for weapons

Laser 8 years ago updated 7 years ago 28

My idea is that their could be different variants of swords or axes or hammers, the functionality of the weapon wouldn't change, only the design of it. I was also thinking about an interface that would allow us to design our OWN weapons and sell it to others for in game coins. If this idea has already been posted then I'm sorry for accidentally copying someone else's idea.



Please give constructive feedback if you don't like my idea.

yeah this would be cool

This would be cool.

i like the idea

I am happy to see  people like my idea, but I want to know why that one person disliked.

This is a bit waste of money and I felt that this was not as important intill more things come out. I removed my dislike

Thanks for being constructive.

Weapons are kinda too small for skins to be shown

Oh yeah.... I never thought about that before....but part of my other idea was to change the "skin" of the weapons, I could clearly see that the ingame sword is a steel broadsword or I can see that the hammer has a wooden shaft and an Iron...thingy on top. I'm pretty sure I would be able to notice the sword being turned into, let's say a katana or the axe being turned into a double sided axe. Maybe we can't do decal, but we can do "skins", anyways thanks for the constructive feedback.

I like this idea better than paint decals, but have you thought about the amount of work needed to make these sprites?

Yeah...but Rezoner can work at his own pace, as far as I know no one is rushing him.

 Am I allowed to bump this?...is this how bumping works?

I just want Rezoner to say something about this. Sorry if I'm doing something wrong.


Rez see probably most of posts on forum, but not always he respond.

I completley understand you.

Eu gostei, mas isso não causaria um atraso em certos computadores? O meu computador é muito ruim, e se tem sprites de outras coisas pode me causar um certo atraso, não que eu não goste dos indícios, só por causa do atraso.

 I think if your computer is able to handle the normal sword sprite, then it shouldn't be that much of a problem..then again what do I know?

I think at this moment Rez have enough plans for Incoming updates, but even if he not have much time this idea is interesting. 
I see only problem with workshop for items. I think this idea could work not good in this game, especially because this is io game.

You are probably right....but worth a shot right?


I think yes, but not as priority.

It would be hard to do this but it's a interesting suggestion.

Does anyone think that "skins" for weapons would be hard to see in game?

If model was good made, this can be easy for see. Also if you good see current weapon models, i think no problem is with another models.

That's what I was thinking too, if we can see every other weapons design, then why not be able to see  new designs, also, you are awake at this time? It's literally 5:16 at where I am at the time this post was written.

When i written last comment i had around 11 am.

Bumpity...

 Sorry but creating graphics by players is well beyond this engine capabilities. It would have o be a 3D engine to support so many items because currently it requires hundreds of images for every items - and when I change something creator would have to update these images too

I completely understand.
