Concept Art Options

[Forlorn_Hope]

Relative accuracy rates and melee ranges.

[James Asner]

-crouching as a rifleman will increase your accuracy.
-With distances comes decreased accuracy. Try ironsights (default key: Q ) to hit that longshot.
-Trouble hitting with roundball? Try shot for close-range combat.
-All classes have there own style of play. Try them out to see what fits you.
-Capture the damn flags, fool! That's how you win.
-Respect other players and listen to the rules of the server. This isn't fucking counterstrike.

I started to troll out at the end there. Oh well.

Almost every action drains your stamina.
Low stamina makes you move slower.
Low health means slow stamina recharge.

TRR has tons of BG2 art, we even print our own Christmas themed TRR cards:

Wow! Mind-blowing art, roob!

Gecko just sent me some nice reference pictures that gave me more ideas for gameplay tips. If anyone else has suggestions, feel free to post here (gameplay tip + what the pic should look like).

What I have so far:

Gameplay Tips:
#1: Headstabbing;
#2: Don't get caught reloading;
#3: Lead your targets when shooting;
#4: ?

#4 capture flags by moving close to them with the required amount of players and defending that flag against intruders while the timer runs down etc. etc. You will hear a sound when the flag is captured, it will also be marked in your team's colour in the HUD .....
#5 Use your melee weapons to defend yourself against enemies in close combat. Many muskets have bayonets attached that can be used by clicking the right mouse button. Other classes have melee weapons that they can switch to, such as the tomahawk or the sabre. ... (a lot of people really dont seem to know this at all. You can headstab dozens of these confused people on maps like ambush, all they do is reload, sit and point their firearms at you for a shot...)
#6 Advance together with your team to capture enemy flags and gradually push towards the final flag for a "fullcap". Sitting back and shooting will not help your team to advance. Shot enemies will eventually respawn faster than you could have shot them from such a distance.

Relative accuracy rates and melee ranges.

Yes, that is a cool thing.
We should try putting that information into an overview chart for each melee weapon and another one for each type of gun. (There is no need to show differences between the rifles or muskets)

[Forlorn_Hope]

MPC: Seriously, I FOUNDED the clan, and I don't even get a Christmas card??? >:(

BAM!

Ease up on the filters. Photoshop 5 is long gone.

It's cool to show off linebattling but if you can't actually have that formation in the game then it's sort of a cock-tease, no?

[BIKA]

Like that?

[gRanTeLbArT]

No, Klifsnider is going to make loading screen backgrounds with some helpful info.
There, we should have an overview of all weapons side by side.

Like so:

Melee ranges of bayonets and other weapons

Long Land Pattern Musket bayonet
============================= 86

Brown Besss
============================ 83

Sabre
=================== dunno


I guess you get the idea.

[Forlorn_Hope]

Actually, I really like that improved interface by Gecko. Why have I never seen this before...?

Oh hey, its the class selection screen I designed that was never implemented!

[Forlorn_Hope]

Where was I when this was proposed? It's much cleaner look to what we have now, and much more informative.

Did you ever complete and commit them to the SVN? The team was looking forward to them but never saw that it was added to SVN or the materials for them left on the forum or somewhere where we could download them and add them. Eventually we stopped hearing from you and worked on other ones because those blue ones never came. They are nice, but I don't recall ever seeing a download/file/something we could implement to start with. If you have them, we ought to use them in the next version, if possible.

No, I never did commit to SVN. I didn't mean oh hey it was never implemented because I coded it all and you guys never used it, I mean Oh hey it was never implemented becasue I did the work then unfortunatly fell very ill shortly after and never passed the work on. Also, I totaly forgot I had ever done those changes. Whichever, they are lost to the recycle bin long ago.

No worries- I think the concept of them and layout is sound and clean. What we have now is sort of a cumulative system. I do think a move in the direction of those blue ones you did is warranted, even if we end up having to redo the interface. I'm thinking we can use a number of the existing interface components and restructure them into that format. I'm going to check into that as I think it would be a help to people, especially new players. The existing interface is hard to follow for basic information.

[OctaviusMaximus]

For those new menu things, I think it would actually be a little nicer if overall they had the weapon + stats replace the picture that is shown when you select a musket. Obviously though keeping the weapon and stats there when you hover over the class also. So both placing it at those two places would be convenient if you forgot what gun was the most accurate or something when you do select. That is, if it is not like this already on that.

POST YOUR ADDRESS ON THE FORUMS, and I'll make sure you get one this year :P

To give you an idea on how will brits look after the patch:

(a little something I made in about an hour)





I can't draw for shit.

[James Asner]

Yes. I posted this to make sure the new skins aren't a direct or nearly direct version of what Meitso did for the dev team, and not give him credit for it.
