I have trouble figuring out what is fungaled and what isn't. Maybe this is just me, but in any case, i think it would be a good idea to lighten that up, would help tons.

I didnt change it but I also agree that it doesnt stand out as much as it should

No buildings should have extra team color. Hatcheries, extractors, spawning pools, gateways, nexuses (Any non-terran buildings) just look wrong and corny. They should have normal team color areas, just brighter.

Idk, the thing is that when video is compressed it's not always immediately apparent as to what teamcolor a building has. It's usually always obvious since most matches aren't mirror and because you can tell from whose base you are in, but SOMETIMES in games, let's say pvp, we will see both protoss in the beginning of the match, and we can't right away tell if their red or blue. Eventually they are identifiable but it's not as immediate as I think it should be. When playing it isn't really an issue though.
When I added teamcolor I tried to add it in a fitting way, by following parts of the buildings and of the units. I feel like a did a good job with the gateway and the nexus for example, but other people have said what you are saying. That it looks corny. I definitely feel like it makes it clearer though, and idk if I would consider changing that yet. Idk maybe I'll wait to see if more people feel like that after trying them. I have considered making some zerg buildings less team color as they are supposed to be made of flesh, so the color might be too solid on some parts.
Also keep in mind that to someone that isn't into SC2 and is watching for the first time, something like not being able to right away, clearly, identify what is what, might create confusion.
Just keep letting me know what you guys think.

Not to steal the thread or anything like that, because Mr. pzea469 inspired me, but I actually have made an entire texture pack just like that.
With a slight curve to the default textures making them a bit more rigid in color and then multiplied the team colors, so that they are stronger, but at the same places as normal.
Very few like 1 or 2 of the zerg units has gotten a slight extra bit of color as they can be seen a bit easier in mirror matches.
I will upload the package and images tonight.

The LibertyMulti.SC2Mod folder prioritising seems to have been removed in patch 1.3.3. On Eu at least.
|
Wow, I just installed and it looks fantastic. Is there anyway for them to know the textures are changed?

Not really sure. Im sure they could find out if they really wanted, but they dont really seem to care. More concerned with hackers

I've installed it, worth the risk imo  . Thanks to you pzea469 for releasing this to us.

When you have it open in photoshop, look in the alpha channels. You will see there is one that when turned on makes the parts where there would be team color red.

Thank you very much.

Really like I on the units, but I don't think it's needed for the buildings.
Shame blizzard hasn't made this legal.
|
It's very good. I think it is only needed for melee and short ranged units, I'm thinking of mirror matchups with were roaches and zerglings are going up against roaches and zerglings. I really can't tell if my zerglings have the edge or not so this will be good for that. But I do not look to break the terms, I will take no risk to get banned for trivial things.
|
Lol wow this looks beautiful, though some units have a little too much color, not that I really care.
|
I find it quite cool that the sc2 community is able to do things like this, a nice idea whether or not blizzard takes the initiative to implement their own version.
On a side note, when i first read the title I thought it would be about which color is the strongest...clearly Pink is the most overpowered, which is why it is rarely allowed in tournaments.

Really good job!
Is it legal to use it ?

I've heard mixed reports about the last patch disabling the loading of correctly named+placed folders. Some say it works, for me it broke.
artanis2 said the following in the thread about changing MPQ content with the folder method:
On May 12 2011 01:45 artanis2 wrote:
The mod prioritizing still exists but it appears that with 1.3.3 SC2 no longer treats subdirectories as MPQs. If you use a tool to create a new MPQ in the libertymulti directory with the name "base.SC2Assets" you can still override the files from the liberty "base.SC2Assets". I just used ladik's mpq editor to test this.
So essentially you create a MPQ file named base.SC2Assets which you then correctly fill with the content and then place it in LibertyMulti.SC2Mod.
You can achieve this effect by simply dragging and dropping the "Assets" subfolder that you should have in the base.SC2Assets folder.
This assumes that you used the folder method before, if you didn't then look for the folder structure in the base.SC2Assets MPQ file located in the Liberty.SC2Mod folder and emulate it in your new MPQ.

Patch 1.3.3 haven't changed anything in terms of getting the texture mods to work. Runs just fine. At least if you do the change after you have patched.
