We need to design at least one jersey for the player model. I'm thinking we'll do our own design(s) first, then contact some companies to see if they'd be interested in having their products appear in the game -- maybe even get some sponsorship going on.
Though if we want to make everything GPL compatible, things like company logos and designs... I don't know how that would work.
Anyway, I just threw together a couple sketches last night. The first is pretty bleh, but the second might work out.

I need to find a pencil. Pens aren't the best for sketching. :)
Feel free to contribute your own ideas. Don't use any copyrighted designs, though.

Here's a simple idea I did on my lunch break...

-
I like one and two more than the lunch break one.
EDIT: Hey, we can have multiple skins! PUT 'EM ALL IN!
-
we need ONE for now
Once we get one completely skinned model we'll look at others.
-
I think I might use some nature as inspiration...

That just has "cool paintball jersey" written all over it.
-
Hm, maybe a bit much?

(just a quick scribble with that design)
Looks kinda cool though -- I'll definitely have to make a skin like that at some point but I don't think it schould be the default. I think I'm going to go ahead with sketch #2 -- something about it looks like a professional jersey.
As for multiple skins -- I don't have time to make more than one -- there's a crapload of other stuff that still needs to be done. I don't know if I'll even get multiple skin support put in for the next build, at least not where you can select each component individually.

The sinew and bones look, I like .

Started on design #2:

WOW, Some of these new ideas for jerseys are WICKED AWSOME! God I can wait to get my new computer and download this stuff to make DP looking wicked awsome with lots of cool new features, keep up the good work guys, NICE JOB ALL.

:o
Pretty...

I have been drawing some Jersey designs and I think some of them are cool looking, I will scan them soon and add color and see if you like them or not! :D
-Termin8oR

I was also thinking that on the front and back of each Jersey the player could have his/her selected player number like a football or soccer jersey. And on the back of the jerseys maybe a white stiching of the players selected name, but with a maximum amount of characters on the jersey so it doesnt go all the way around the jersey cause I know people would do that! :D
Please think about it, it would be a cool feature to have on such nice looking jerseys!

This idea of numbers and names is very good, because it will show that the teams (especially the teams in clanwars) are belonging together.
It also makes each playermodel more unique.
If you put this feature in, Painball will more and more approach to games like CS with its differences in jersey designs.
Please post, if this can be/will be included sometimes. ;)

Numbers will make the model unique, not to see in which team the players are.
-
I kinda like the idea of numbering the jersey with the player number (makes it alot easier to find out which player number you need to kick...hehe).
Placing the players name on the back of the jersey would ROCK.
Maybe limit the jersey name display to eight characters. So if your in-game name was "Jack Offenhiemer" the jersey would only show the first eight characters of that name, "Jack Off". I like that idea!!!
-
But if you have bigger clantags like [-DarkP-], this will waste nearly all characters ::)
sry about my bad english ;)
-
Then there should be Nick and JerseyNick (max 6~10 char).
-
I have some other tideas but I will post them when I finish my Jersey designs on paper... Trust me I have spent a great amount of time on this idea and I hope to see it used in the future.
Thank You

I was actually considering the numbered jersey idea a while back, but I don't know if there's enough time to mess with that right now -- we want to get this done before dpcon. Another idea I had would be to have a clan logo that could be used on the front of the jersey, but I have concerns about that being abused, much like the sprays in half-life/CS -- either with offensive images or bright colors that make it difficult to tell what team the player is on. The other problem is if we start using commercial jersey designs, like dye and jt -- I don't think they'd appreciate having their logo covered up by some clan logo. I suppose the custom logos could just be disabled for those jerseys...
Of course, we could go all out and make it like Need for Speed Underground where you can select from a whole bunch of different designs and put them together in various combinations. That would be difficult to regulate, though -- in order to make sure players have enough of their team color and don't do something like make solid black jerseys. It would also be difficult to map the textures so they'd work well and not be stretched/distorted. And with tons of unique jerseys, video memory usage might become a large concern, too...
As for names on the jerseys. That could be done, but as mentioned, spacing will be difficult. Having a different name for the jersey and player would also be complicated as I'm sure people will use completely different names just to confuse people or pretend to be somebody else.
For now, though: one model, one skin, no super fancy features. We'll move on from there.
-
Ok Jitspoe, I see where your coming from and I agree with you, offensive messages wouldnt be a good thing and dye and JT wouldnt like their logos cover'd up by some body doing what ever they feel like.
The one skin, one model idea is good just I would hope better and more detailed Jerseys will be added.
-Termin8oR
-
I still like the idea of a Real jersey.. like Dye c4 and Dyec5.. It would make the game a little more reall..
-
Yes but like jitspoe said "Im not sure JT/Dye would like their logos plastered all over the place"
Just keep that in mind!
-Termin8oR
-
No, that comment was relating to having clan logos on jerseys - if we had brand name jerseys, I don't think they'd want their logo covered up by some clan logo. And as for using real jersey designs, I'd have to get permission from jt/dye/whoever to use their designs and logos. There's also the problem of GPL compatibility. I want to make everything in the game free under the GPL, which would mean people would have to be able to use the media for whatever they wanted, which would likely conflict with the license of the jt/dye/... logo and/or copyright laws.
But I guess we'd have the same issue with the guns, so...
-
oic
-
I understand too.
-Termin8oR
-
How about in order for a image for a clan to be able to be used it has to be aproved by say jitspoe or a panel of people...?
-
we should have custom jerseys like were a player can make his own for instance my real paintball team our colors are black and grey and we have epmire jerseys. I would like to incorporate that into the game so the player looks like me

midget porn??? wont ask but ya good idea !
-
Actually, KJGJ does make a pretty good point...letting players customize a small percentage of overall color (perhaps only one or two "areas" to change) might be cool, and since it's a small percentage of the skin surface, it might not be too confusing with team colors.
Another idea might be implementing a very small player "flag" bitmap to have on the sleeves of the player model - enough detail for clan letters or just a cool flag-thing, but not enough detail to cram midget porn in!
No reason why you should not.
-
Because there are more important things to work on?
-
No reason beond current and more important projects? What say you? Nice side step
-
The source is open. Go for it. ;)

No New ScreenShots? Some People Got LAZY! :D

Yeah, Termin8oR -- where are the sshots of the game you're working on? lazy! ;)
Some people need a break. :P

I wonder who? Come play I promise not to kick you,well at least not off the server :)

COMEON GUYS YOU WERE DOING GOOD NOW GET THE BUILD OUT
-
Lol Jitspoe... If I wanted to create a game I could learn I guess! But thats your job now so keep at err!
Any new progress for Jersey Designs?
-Termin8oR
-
It's not my job.
-
lol
-
Yo jitspoe i suggest the first design, although they are all pretty awesome; even your nature nature one.
;)
-
There was no need at all to revive this topic.

A camo design on DP Jerseys would be nice, just for the most part looking good when kicking your oppents ass is a great thing to do...!
