Ammunition Crates & Health Crates

Postby LASTofS » Sat May 05, 2012 8:05 pm

You may have seen the health crate placeholders in mat^2's screenshots:

or the ammo crates:

Are there any suggestions or comments about the ammo crate? I just used the NATO Symbol of Interchangeability for the time being. The context is the symbol represents the packaged ammunition can be exchanged on the battlefield.

Image

Now, I understand that the red cross is pretty much universally recognized, but on the other hand the ammunition symbol I am using for the crate might not represent the contents inside that well. People have suggested the shape of a bullet, like this:

Image

TL;DR - What symbol do you suggest for the ammo crate? Keep in mind we are limited to detail due to voxel size.

Why not get inspired by the doom voxel sprite pack?

I actually would like to see the crate be smaller.

As for the symbol, it's the ammo crate, right? It supplies you with ammo, so the bullet-shaped sprite would be better.

Yeah, I agree. And these are only placeholders, so they'll probably be smaller than how they currently look like.

I talked to Mat, he made the crates smaller now.

Sice: Could be a bit smaller.

But i think that the sign on the crate should be like this(or something like this):

To be honest, I think the NATO symbol is fine. People who don't know what it means will soon learn.

NATO symbol is fine, even if it dose look like the health crate symbol quite a bit.

I think that they should be like airstrikes. Once you get enough kills, you can call one in on a precise location.

Image Location confirmed, sending supplies.


Really, Id love for these to stick around on the map at the server owners discretion. These are like mini CPs in the middle of the battle field. Now people would actually have a reason to build a fort.
