Thread: How to make arrows look better?

    Default How to make arrows look better?

    The archers shooting in volleys looks really nice, but you have to use flaming arrows to actually see the volley. Normal arrows are way too hard to see. Is there any simple way to make arrows contrast more against the background, make them look a little more black? Maybe different looking arrows could be included in 7.0 maybe.

    I'd say they are fine the way they are, but also add that how visible they are can often be influenced by the resolution you are playing the game at. Less than 1920x1200 and they can sometimes be quite difficult to see as the arrows compete with other details for pixels.

    I always play at the maximum resolution. I guess it's just me then who thinks arrows are hard to see. Is there any simple way to change how arrows look?

    They are fine for me as well, the game already has 6-7 years so not much to complain there

    I love the bow string animations they use in Third Age and some other mods. Wonder why it has not been implemented to SS yet

    cause it's load of work and there are way more people who say they want it implemented than people who actually can implement it and have the time/willingness to do it

    I thought that making a mod this diverse and complex is a load of work. Hard to believe that after achieving the current status of the mod the makers of this mod would say no to a feature because it's "a load of work" Well, that is only my opinion.

    The developers are probably focusing their attention on things they see as more important.

    if they would have to freeze their work every time a new idea popped up, the final version would never reach a release date...

    I know how to do it and i was writing a detailed tutorial about a year ago but then one thing ed my life for 6 months and i was stressed and then another thing was that i lost my 5 years of mod work so my morale to mod is completely broken. Tutorial still remains half completed:

    If there's a demand then perhaps i can take some of time out, install M2TW again and complete this tutorial. Then SS community would only need a handful of committed people who would only do the steps mentioned in my tutorial.
