Title: Dynamically colored armors (using banner backside color)
Post by: zagibu on October 18, 2012, 06:59:55 pm
Note: Despite the devs at first having encouraged the development of this pack, there has been no new information from their side in months, which probably means this won't be implemented in the near future. I am sorry to have risen false hope in some people.

Using the tableaus technique also used for heraldic armors, it's possible to dynamically colorize most armors with a suitable area using the backside color of the player's chosen banner. With this, if your armor is out of fashion, simply choose a new banner with the color that is currently en vogue, and you can show yourself again in the feasting hall.

Below are some examples. They are using banners from native, namely:

- red with black lion
- yellow with black eagle
- green with yellow boars
- blue with yellow lilies
- white and blue checker pattern with red lion
- black and white vertical sawline

These are only examples. The color of your own armor will depend on your banner's scripted backside color.

I have already talked to chadz on IRC and chances seem good that some or all of the armors will be integrated into cRPG.

hm, aint looking bad. Can you also do those in a nice blue (like dark blue as the Nordmen use their banner)? That is not a bad idea, the more armors in many colours the better.

You know it would also be amazing if there was a way to trade the same item's colours. Example, trading Blue Coat of Plates +3 (+0,+1,+2) for Green Coat of Plates for example (npc-wise, for a little gold fee, Im not talking about trading an armor for another item).
What I always missed were more colours. When I was in HRE, I missed some heavier gear in yellow for example. :)

The armor uses the background color of your current banner, so there is only 1 armor, called "Colored Tabard". The yellow one in the screenshot uses the native HRE banner. However, the color will not exactly be the one of the banner, because a) it uses the BACK_COLOR of the banner, which is sometimes different than the banner's background color (confusing, I know), and b) the blending process can produce slightly different results, because it's hard to make it look good for both dark and light colors.

The reason why I didn't make it heraldic, btw, is because if you add the heraldic symbol, it also adds another layer of the banner background color, which produces visible seams in the colored area. Also, there are many armors that could be colorized using this technique, but that don't have an appropriate area to display the symbol.

Updated OP with gambeson. I also had an idea how heraldics could still work, but it would probably require a change of the banners. Might look into it later.

How would this work with custom banners? For example those that don't have 1 background color?

This is the confusing part. It's not about the actual background of the banner, but the back color of the banner. This is one color that has to be specified when creating the banner. If we're talking about a heraldic mail armor, it's the color that is on the back of the armor. For some banners, this is completely different than the background color of the banner. E.g. the native khergit banner has a purple background, but the color on the back of the armor is black. So your tabard would be black, if you used the native khergit banner.

Better now?

By the way, the idea I had for the heraldics without seams worked:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I'm just using a transparent banner that is only opaque around the heraldic symbol, and fades out to completely transparent quickly towards the edges. This leads to problems whenever the banner is displayed in non-blended mode, however, as you can see in the screenshot of the overland map. I have no idea where else this problem could appear. A quick test on shields seemed to be fine.

I've also uploaded screenshots of the coat of plates and vaegir elite armor.

Yeah, those pastel colors do not fit so well with lamellar vest. But you can always choose a banner with a more suitable background, some brown tones or cream or what have you.

Single best thing ever. I am convinced. No more staring desperately at the market at that one armour you want, which happens to be on there 12 times in the colour you do not want and not once with the colour you do want.

Churburg up now. It's really hard to get a consistent saturation across all armors, because the starting colors lead to very different blending masks. Will probably have to fiddle with them a bit more. Should be no problem, since I saved all textures in .xcf format with layer masks and everything.

Title: Re: Colored armors
Post by: zagibu on October 19, 2012, 10:51:58 pm
There isn't much color that could be used on kuyaks. They are mostly metal, fur or leather.

Corrazina uploaded. Probably still too flashy for most of you. I somehow like flashier colors better in M&B. If I want grit, I can play one of the tenthousand other games that caters to that style. It's up for discussion, though, and can easily be changed. It will probably need a lot of tweaking, still, anyway, because there might be colors that don't work at all with the current set up (I wonder what white will look like).

[EDIT]
White seems to be okay. Looks a bit weird on most armors, but on some, it even works quite well:

Agreed, but like the brigandine, it's a bitch to mask, due to those little pattern thingies on it. I might do it eventually.

Post by: Ninja_Khorin on October 20, 2012, 06:56:03 pm
Traditional way is to sell it and buy a red one or buy the loompoints for one.

But yeah. This is a really cool idea as long as I don't loose my black lamellar and white lamellar. I don't want to be limited to one coloured lamellar due to my banner.

This allows for a ton of customization though.

I will give it a try, but my experiments with cavalry robe, which also has a pattern on the cloth, were disappointing. The straightforward way I use for the other armors didn't work.

Yep, I guess there would be a new item "Colored Lamellar Vest", and if you wanted +3 of that, you'd have to start looming it again. I don't think the fixed color armors should be removed, though, because, as Khorin said, there might be situations when you don't want the same color as your banner back color.

Well, you are limited to the back colors of the available banners, but since it's possible to create a custom banner and specify the back color, you can indeed choose any color you want.

The main problem with it is that the cloth itself doesn't have much structure besides the pattern, which produces a rather dull blending result. There are several things I could try, though, e.g. masking the pattern, so that it stays at a fixed color and has better contrast, or I could try to paint some structure into the cloth myself. Both things are quite a bit of work, and I will tackle them only after I've done the easy things.

Unfortunately not, because the scripts have to be modified. But if it's a special color you like, just open the Mount&Blade Warband\Textures\byrnie_a.dds in Paint.NET, select the colored areas with the lasso tool, then go to Adjustments->Hue/Saturation and play around with the sliders until you get the color you want, then overwrite it.

It can be any color.
Just few examples of hex color codes:
It does not have to be "solid one" . you can put any color as banner back color.

Well, they are a similar problem now because they exist already as the back of heraldic armors. There hasn't been a lot of uproar about that. We have some funky coloured banners as well which they wear proudly on their heraldics, so I do not see how this would prove a bigger problem.

Nope, just a colour that dynamically changes based on the back colour of the banner you have. If I understand correctly. Which would be red in my case, but that black Brigandine looks way more awesome.  :cry:

I love the idea of using the BG colors for heraldic items (Just like the Final boss/Warham mod up-loader) For example: the great helm being colored yellow due to the FCC BG color is pretty neat-o when worn with plate.

I really like these, I hope most of them make it to the patch. Since you're at it maybe you could also do a few helmets? There's plenty of hats that have multiple different items just for the different colors. I think most of the players will want to pick one to match their other equipment any way. With this type of heraldic bg color type the choice would be a lot easier and I think better in most cases. Also some excess items could be then removed making more room for other items and/or reducing the stress.

Just some helmets that could fit:

I will give it a try. However, the texture is only 512x512 px, so it will be hard to mask this pixel porridge.
I've already thought about helmets, and agree that it should work great for some. And maybe even Wisby gauntlets could be done.

Added the other mail with surcoat.

I've also tried to colorize the native heraldic mails. Did you know that their textures are VERY sloppily done? They are a complete mess. There is no underlying cloth structure at all, just a mess of red and black. I'll probably have to copy some cloth structure over from other armors. If I can get that done, it would also make the heraldic version look much better.

More bad news: I can't get Narf's brigandine to work, because it is a multi-part model. The colorization for the torso works as usual, but then it applies this torso tableau also for the arms and legs :evil:. Why did Narf have to make this model multipart, WHY?

Hmm green and blue are more round.


PS: What do you think about the idea that in strat battles everyside has the banner of the "Faction" fightin for, so there would 2 banners on the field, cause of that colourcode if someone has the same in the enemy team its really weird. Also it gives you more unity ^^

Yes plz. Trading some things on the marketplace could be easer if you don't need to specify exact color of the armor. & there would be easer to manage strat inventory if you will have just lammellar vest without "white", "black" or "khergit" tags

This is bad for coordination & discipline. Right now you could visually count faction members & give them separate orders(like: Bashis go left, DRZ defend the spawn point, "who is this fucking DRZ guy charging directly on the enemy shieldwall alone?").

For the coordination, they still would be Bashibazouk, Templars etc. ;) ... well if he comes back or dies you see the name anyway. It would be more funnier, except you use an armor like Yawshan or something without heraldic. But its look shitty when the whole army is usin heraldic, some of em are yellow, some black, some brown. And on the enemy side aswell? Maybe the same banner like on of these. I mean its not irritating me actually but it would look better.

Red metal? You would have to add a "painted" effect, and I can't do that. Simply tinting it red, as I'm doing here, would be quite unrealistic.

Black armour!? Replace the red stripes with the coloring technique. Opens up the armor for many people.

Sarranid mail shirt - If possible, I think it could work very nicely with your technique.

There is no "the various colors for that armor", all armors in this thread can have any color that you choose as banner background. The full RGB spectrum is possible, or at least close to it.

I already started the light leather, but the results were disappointing, because the contrast between the black robe and the bright leather creates problems at the transitions. I haven't completely given up on it, yet, but it probably won't make it in the first release. Same goes for the (light) mail and plate. These armors have a texture that is only 512x512, which makes it very blurry at the color transitions, and hard for me to extract a proper mask. Steppe armor is the same thing. I've already posted it, but I am not happy with the result, and I will probably not release it together with the other armors in the OP.

The following armors are still planned for the first release (in addition to those in the OP with exclusion of Steppe Armor):
- Varangopoulos Armor
- Sipahi Yawshan
- Palace Guard Armor
- Byrnja

This means the first release should be ready before friday, so that maybe one of the devs can incorporate it into cRPG over the weekend. Yeah, right.

I know that there are more armors with potential, but most of them are problematic in some way and take a lot of time to convert, and I think it's best to get the bulk of them out as soon as possible, to see whether it really adds benefit to cRPG or not.

Post by: zagibu on November 26, 2012, 04:47:45 pm
I also think that the fixed color armors should not be removed. There are two reasons:

a) Maybe you want a certain color, but have a fixed clan banner.
b) The fixed color looks slightly better than the dynamically colored one, because the blending method is not perfect.

Added palace guard armor. It's not perfect for bright colors, but dark colors look very good. Maybe I will try to improve it for the second release.

Byrnja can't be converted, unfortunately, because it uses submodels. Same problem as with Narf's brigandines and the heavy aketon. Someone would have to merge all textures of the submodels into one texture, and make new texture coordinates for the models. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that.

I'm now going to prepare everything for the first release.

That would be great, and maybe it's possible, but I have no idea how it could be achieved, sorry.

Any release date set in stone zagibu!?

I'm looking forward to it greatly

Me, too. Unfortunately, I know of nothing. While I was in cRPG IRC, cmpx has quickly taken a look at it, and we have talked a bit about performance implications, but I have no idea if, or when it will be included. He was of the opinion, that 80 ppl using dynamically colored armors could be a big performance problem for older computers. I'm sure they are testing that somehow before forcing it unto people.

I also think that the fixed color armors should not be removed. There are two reasons:

a) Maybe you want a certain color, but have a fixed clan banner.
b) The fixed color looks slightly better than the dynamically colored one, because the blending method is not perfect.

Added palace guard armor. It's not perfect for bright colors, but dark colors look very good. Maybe I will try to improve it for the second release.

Byrnja can't be converted, unfortunately, because it uses submodels. Same problem as with Narf's brigandines and the heavy aketon. Someone would have to merge all textures of the submodels into one texture, and make new texture coordinates for the models. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that.

I'm now going to prepare everything for the first release.

I wear a Byrnja and I love everything about this post. Now I can look forward to this without fear and enjoy all the new pretty colors on everyone else without losing my wife of a color. It's gonna be a fun battlefield out there pretty soon I'm guessing, nice work.  :D

BTW guys, is it possible to make dynamically coloured armours with bodyparts, so that your armour would always match your skin? (I am talking about the armours that weren't added because there was a ready-made skin colour and having a head of an afro-american and the rest of the body of a pale european is not meant to be in the mod). So is there any way to make body armour parts' colour, depend on the skin colour of a character? If yes, we could use this technique and repair with it the highlander armours or create new armours (like chainmails with short sleeves [where you can see forearms etc])

I've been waiting forever for this, i've always been baffled as to why they never included this. I'm glad they finally will be doing this.

Only thing, on some armors i want my banner insignia to show, instead of just the color. so long as there is a heraldic tabard, surcoat, and transitional, im 100% for this.

Only way this could be better was if there were Dynmaically colored hoods too  :D

Ye, some items like practice shield, blue hose, hoods, wisby gauntlets, also need to have that.

In the mod of persistant world they have, tabards, brigandine, coat of plates and some more with heraldic and also with the banner.

I wonder how they did the coat of plates, though, because this one only got half a texture that is mirrored to the other side...not good for banners.

I know next to nothing about modelling and all I know is from editing Morrowind meshes but wouldn't editing the UV map and making a new texture be enough to do it?

I guess. Wanna give it a try? We also need that for the Narf's men at arms stuff and dejawolf's byrnja.

Why isn't this ingame yet? Could care less if they added any more armor, all I want is this.

This is by far the best of the current new armor suggestions, and there are quite a few good ones atm.

I've had the same idea for a long time. Would love this in the game.
