Title: Squad Logos
Post by: Knight Templar on January 05, 2003, 10:41:20 pm

I was recently thinking about something that would be very nice to have in Freespace.

Selectable Squad Logos

i.e. in the wing edit screen we there could be a place to select a squad logo.

This would be a big step up from the uniform ones we have now (in the mission specs) and would have obvious uses such as multiple squadrons in one mission.

So there's the idea, I assume it'll be done with 3 updated versions by this time tommarow ;)


Go.

yes! This definetly helps with "player immersion" if all the allied fighters don't have the same squad logo, and all the enemy fighters don't have that little scorpion tail thing.

FS2 coding complete. :) I'll have to test it, then add something to the dialog box in FRED.

FS2 implementation done. :) Put +Squad Logo: filename.pcx beneath the wing name in the mission file.  The logo will override the player's squad logo for every wing except the player's wing.

Now to FRED, and the commit. :)

Eesh, you're right.  I see that nameplate stuff strewn around.  Did you actually finish it?  I tried putting in a nameplate and it didn't work.

And another thing: instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and render the nameplate on top of everything, why not assign the nameplate as the model's insignia?

Like this:

Code: [Select]

model_set_insignia_bitmap(shipp->nameplate);

It might be interesting to put all together.  Ship nameplates override wing logos which override the player's logo. :)
