Reskin the Marine Belt

Post by monkeysfist101 » 25 Nov 2015, 16:21

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Change the Marine Belt from the SS13 security belt to the Vietnam era web belts used in the movies.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It would look nicer with the character sprites and remove the red dot on the groin.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Make the belt lower profile (1-2 pixels) and recolor it to be off-tan/OD green. Perhaps put a drop pouch on one side and a canteen on the other,

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Sprite change.

+1 to a recolor. I would like to not have a security belt on marines anymore.

I started to work on this a few weeks ago, but I got distracted and forgot about it.

With donations closed for the team being, I should have no problem finishing this

Team Being? You mean Time Being?

Also, +1, no offense. I don't prefer the Marine Belt to be shown in that icon (provided above). It seems too unfuturistic.

The belts used by the marines were standard issue Vietnam pistol belts.

The movie was Space 'Nam. I based the sprite off of the movie. (Crowe to be specific.) How would you prefer them to look more futuristic?

I was thinking something more like metallic feeling to it, like the Security Belt, and thicker.

It's going to be more or less like the Vietnam US Army belt. The Aliens universe is very purposely a lower-tech sci-fi.

Kinda makes sense. Low tech stuff tends to be far more reliable. You want something which is tried and tested, and if its a design over 200 years old with a couple of minor tweeks you know its going to be up to scratch.

I'd be fine with this. I like the low and bulky tech of the aliens universe. I feel like a lot of things actually still need to be reskined, like the computers.

I'm all up for reskinning.
