Post by: HaHa on June 03, 2000, 06:25:00 PM

Are squad logos scheduled for 1.03 (i.e. logos on the planes) ?

Nope.  An article in Furball mag briefly mentioned that HiTech told the author all the reasons why customized skins could never be implemented in AH.

If you've ever played Quake online you would know why it wouln't work.

It takes forever to download all the different artwork.

custom skins and squad logos are two totally different things.

 Do not confuse squad logos and custom skins, they have nothing to do with each other. SLs are actually existing icons in graphical format.
 There is no way to abuse them - even if you make them bright pink, they will be invisible at any distance further then point-blank.
 They are small (64x64 or even 32x32) and easy to distribute, even if the number of squads reaches a hundred.
 I am pretty sure we will get them eventually.

The squad logos are a 32x32 bmp (maybe 64x64 if we get lucky =) that will be applied to 1 area of the airframes.  Least that's the way I understand it.  that wouldna be a bother like a buncha neon pink skins would

From what I understand it will be nose art, not a skin, but just a logo stuck on the nose of your plane. Sounds good to me.

Least that way when someone HO's ya you know what squad their in
