      I vote we give www.Wiredforwar.org some love and change the following image:

      charlogo.BMP

      To something more suitable for us. Like a big Wiredforwar.org Image. Anybody has any nice ideas?

      Color-inverted picture of a nice drawing I found on the old forum. Something like this. Black, technical, with URL?

        Acclaim.bmp

        Cheers.

        Idea!

        We have three screens and one loading screen. What if we place a bit of the back story there?

            Hmm... maybe change them screens to something that shows the basic idea of the game?

              Like an image showing the construction process from Dozer to Factory 1 to Constructor to Fac3 to Behemoth to Fac 5 to Mek to Nuke with corresponding War factories and some of the units these factories produce?

                Oh, yeah, that's brilliant!

                So, like, it shows what happens when them builders use their... energy beams? Construction beams? Whatever, they fire something and that's how they construct.

                  I was thinking more of an overview of the entire process, perhaps using either the square .BMPs found in the game folder or screenshots of the 3D-models. With arrows and such.

                  But if we use that as a background, we could add in a nice graphic image of how a Machine is constructed with the green nano-bot goo! Or something like that

                        Pop this 640x480 pic in \Machines\gui\menu as Acclaim.bmp (as a 24bit .bmp) and you're all set!

                            Haha I'm glad you liked them, since I made them! It's been a long time. I am kameok13 from the old forum.
                            My suggestion would be technical drawings since that would resemble the cover of the original game, which is awesome. I think I have some links for making 3d objects in Blender look like the diagrams from patents and user manuals. I'll post them here as soon as I can.
                            It's good to see this proyect alive again.

                              @Pisarz So that's your job? Awesome, keep up the good work!

                              Oh, and forgot to say hi. So, hello.
                              And, yeah, this project is so old, yet we've been able to revive it using NECRO- err, HTML coding skills (or something).

                                Thanks!
                                I have no experience in 3d modeling, but I'lll do my best to help with the concept art. Meanwhile, I'll try to do some tests with blender (but I have to learn how to use it first).
                                Anyway, to show the outlines only of 3d models should be easy to make.

                                  Help with concept art would be great!

                                    Thanks @bilal !


                                    These links show how to achieve the outline effect:

                                    http://www.cgmotionbox.com/2011/08/how-to-use-freestyle-line-drawing-rendering-in-blender-3d-2/

                                    I''ll try to experiment with blender whenever I can, but meanwhile, I can do classic lineart:

                                    (A concept for a technician or a locator that I did last year. It was intended to be a "remake" with style modifications.)

                                    sketch6.jpg

                                    I can try to stylize the drawings with Photoshop so as to achieve smooth lines.

                                      @Pisarz This machine looks pretty good, but the legs seem to be a bit weird, if you know what I mean. But I love everything above'em.

                                      Also, can you draw some more? I'd especially like to see "Aggressors", armed to the teeth with thousands o' kinetic weapons.

                                          ...well then, let's make a Gorilla with a nuke strapped to its back! It can't be slower, right? #mebadinjokes

                                            Still, the gorilla holding something on its back sounds like fun. Maybe we could actually make the scrapped "ninja" form of it, as slow and technically-samurai as it would be. The goliath could also afford to be less...weird. I don't see why it's shaped as it is, unless the bulk is supposed to be missile storage, which brings to light more of the impossibility of warlords and knights, not to mention the infinite capacity of all the weapons... The point is the goliath unit would be nice to change, if at least by changing placement/shape of the launchers, or adding an artillery/tank-cannon unit to it, making it look more like the tank it is.
