Couple of bits of feedback after playing the game with the textures for a bit:

 

- The default armour grew on me, I wasn't keen at first as I thought it was a bit too busy but it does look good during missions.

- The wood texture of the shotgun pump comes across very orange-y in the game. The texture in the file looks good so I'm guessing it's probably a light issue, most noticeable in the barracks. Maybe lowering the brightness of those sections might help?

- Still loving the other weapons!

- Not keen on the optional deco for armour 3, Kryptek is it? The pattern is great but because it's set at a purple colour it doesn't mix very well with the majority of tints. A version where the pattern is also affected by the tint would be made of 100% pure awesome.

 

Can't wait to get my hands on Carapace and the Pistol :D

I suppose I could always give the camo pattern a shot with custom colours. It'll be tricky to get into the game right but not impossible.

 

Also, It's fairly obvious I wont make the august release :D

 

No idea on the current ETA. sorry about that!

 

If all else fails I will release once the male and female carapaces are done with what work ive done. So far its been:

-A few new helmets

-the rocket launcher (nothing special, its darker and tan colored now. meh)

-the pistol

-male carapace

-the heavy's deco

-the 'kevlar' deco added in the slingshot dlc

 

Not exactly an all-star lineup of work, but I suppose once carapace is done it would make for more or less a complete pack.

I'd forgotten about the release date! This is why I never give one unless I'm nearly finished or what I want to do isn't going to take too long :P

 

All sounds good, don't rush anything just to try and get it out slightly quicker. That sounds like a nice pack to release though, can't ask for more than that. I've done releases with less in ;) I uploaded a couple of screenshots to the mod page for you too, us advanced players tend to forget that lovely little "together" shot in the Tutorial opening scenes is great for showing off armour and weapon mods!

Lovely images, Neonin!

 

I jump started progress on the release date by virtue of being able to copy large sections of the male texture onto the female file

 

So this means I might be able to release something in a few days, but the female/male textures wont look as different as the default armor textures do. Which is, I suppose, not alltogether a bad thing. Militaries tend to be pro-uniform after all.

 

Here's what the rushed hack and slash job is looking like:

Remember this is without normals and tinting, which will both be added in before the end.

 

I need to figure out ways to make this more detailed, particularly around the torso area. I have mixed feelings on the legs and arms. The texture wrap is surprisingly okay given the rush job I did, but some things are off.

Update, comrades!

 

Behold, the Kryptek corporation has dispatched a number of new suits after XCOM operatives in tundra, jungle, and arid conditions filed class action lawsuits against the camo company.

 

Mister Teichman, a demonstration if you will:

The Kryptek corporation apologizes for the 34 cas... err, I`m sorry gentlemen, 345 casualties as a result of the misprinting.

 

In order to persuade you of our strict company policies, please, take a look at this complimentary kevlar over-vest:

THIS POST WAS DEDICATED TO MAX TEICHMANN, DIED MARCH 3 2021, AFTER A LONG COURAGEOUS BATTLE WITH SKIN CANCER FROM EXPERIMENTAL KRYPTEK PATTERN 22-E.

 

NEVER FORGET.

First impression, a bit late I know, is that the female Carapace could do with some of that octagonal hatching like the male one on the breastplate rather than just being plain. I'm going to start a proper XCOM game after I finish with the nTex customisation packs and I'll be using LW and all your new stuff, so I'll give a more detailed opinion then :)
