Cloaks

[Jakkal]

One of the things I always found kinda disappointing about VG was that the cloaks weren't very impressive. It wasn't until IOD came out that they had cool class based symbols on them.

I'm curious if you guys want some better looking cloaks to put in game? This is something I could do if shown how the cloaks are set up. I'm not sure how close to the original that the team wants to be, but I can at least offer to make some of the cloaks look better than just blue with white trim, or whatnot. Some of the end game raiding cloaks even looked super bleh.

Yes please Jak!

I have always liked cloaks and I would love to see what you can do with class cloaks/capes knowing your talent

Any idea's for a secretive/shady but cool Rogue cloak?

Yes, please. Also, the ugly cloth armor with the lightning animations and whatnot. They were horrendous looking.

Good call

Jak, this is brilliant. I hope you can pull it off (no doubt, hearing about your artsy talents). One question, are these client file mods that will change the graphics? No biggie if they are, I just don't know about distribution (from VGO anyway) lest we get banned. But I'd like to hear your (technical) thoughts of how you will accomplish this and share. Even if the sharing is done off-site.

Who knows, by the time it matters, SOE (rip) probably won't care much what we do to the client.

I honestly have no idea. The technical side of things, I'm not so good at. If we can figure out where the cloak textures are at, then I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to make new ones. Or at least put some extra designs on them. I'd need for one of the code guys to help figure out where those textures are stored though.

Edit: Doing a little digging around, it looks like the texture files are in the Assets/Textures folder (That was so difficult!). All of the files are in .utx which I believe is Epic's unreal texture files.

I'm going to start looking into how to edit these files.

I'm DLing UDK 3 now. I'm not going to have much time to mess with this too much until closer to next weekend, but I'll see what I can dig up.
