More Customisation

[Obsidiman]

In all of the sci-fi shows or games games i know of, the different factions have different weapon colors, animations, styles, and sounds. This, I think, would be a cool concept to add into the game, mabye in the weapons tab, mabye in the faction menu.

[Wound]

Different sounds, animations and weapon colours can easily be replaced in the files, and can be shared by friends.

 

[Draren Thiralas]

That\'s not much of a solution, as someone still has to make those files. Besides, modifing game files requires understanding of what you are doing, and such is not always present in people.

 

[Sergeant Base]

Maybe a preset set of different sounds and colors. REMEMBER: starmade already has enough performance issues if every of a servers 200 players now also has his own sound...that won\'t work!

 

[BraveSteelDragon]

If you actually go look in StarMade\'s folder, and go to data\\audio-resource\\ , there you will find A LOT of sound files, many of which unused.

If you want to change the sound for a specific thing ( i did this with the idle spaceship hum and the AMC fire sound), you need to rename the proper sound files.

!!! remember to back them up in a safe location before this !!!

Weapon and exhaust colors should be configurable (I personally would always make my docking beams blue, for instance, and my exhaust plasma and whatnot purplish blue) but I don\'t like the idea of custom sounds, that just seems a bit over the top. However, if we had a LOT of diffeernt weapon types with different firing colors that are similar enough that their differences become more or less stylistic (Think Star Trek Online - min-maxers usually use Antiproton weapons because of their proc, but people pretty much use every weapon type, sometime for style reasons specifically. (I personally am a Tetryon guy.) )

But with enough support, other customization ideas will go with that.
