Visuals: Tactical Frames Rework

[darkgod]

Switch back to the bigger ones then

Why not just make the HP bars colored according to the frame color (or a shade of it), along with the poles graphics? That would solve any visibility problem.

[Suslik]

because hp bars already have their colors that indicate amount of health the actor has. removing it would harm visibility a lot.

you can add a transparent color overlay to the green/red bar area something like 10-15% would be noticeable but you could still see the health underneath

Those look pretty good. How do they hold up wiht someone standing on them, though?

And can you tell between the rare and Boss frames easily? Because I prefer to not find out... Postmortem.

Daftigod, I love those.

thanks

i'm biased, but i think they hold up pretty well in-game. there are a few tiles that are so large they overlap the frames which is an issue, but i'm hoping i can figure out a way to overlay the bars on top of the sprites instead of vice versa. you can see what i mean on the fat boss here (guy with the martini axe).

at first, i wasn't sure about the black bars for the outline of the frame but they seem to make things pop a little more. rares have an "R" built into the frame, and bosses have "!!!" i tried to make the colors consistent with rexorcorum's, but they might be slightly brighter overall (hopefully offset by the black outline). there's also flagpole-style bars, which are larger and more distinct in one corner, an also have a blue "P" for powerful allies. overall, it was fun getting these guys in-game

edit- sorry to put my pics up in rex's thread, that's kind of rude on my part. no offense intended!

That screen is made of awesome! I love the !!! on the boss.
