Title: fair / not fair / genius
Post by: BlueKnight on January 25, 2013, 02:52:55 am
Hello, I am serious about this thing so please don't troll. Also I would like to hear more from developers when it comes to this little case.

I changed a bit model of Winged great helmet and removed the red part but left the horns for badass look etc. I have done it because helmet is cool but it disturbs a lot when you are fighting. Though I have removed the wing-part there are still horns which disturb but just a little so I don't mind them, however 1 person told me that it's a cheat and getting undeserved advantage of view if I change model :shock: ...

This is why I ask you what you think about the helmet in vanilla mode and what about my, changed version. Imho in my version it could bring helmet back to game because except Vex and Tiberias (if I remember properly) nobody was using it (ofc. except Casimir once a year for epic look + milanese armour).

Item was practically dead because it was disturbing to fight in it.

EDIT: As the "How can I do it" option was chosen I will shortly describe what I've done.

I tried to make them pointed down-forward but the effect of my work in blender was terrible. ^^ I might have some screens of this disaster...

Also I don't want item to be replaced by everybody or sth. I just ask if anybody has anything against my helmet looking a bit different.

Hardly an "unfair advantage", there's other goddamn helmets that don't look ugly/block your view and provide better stats. It would be nice to see the model cleaned up though, it's become harder for me to look at most of the native models these days without wanting to scrape my eyes with putty knife.

Is there anywhere where I can download it? I have been using it occasionally and would love to have this version.

I have described how to do it yourself in the third spoiler. If you follow instructions it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes for complete nab.

I don't mind this model except neck which is totally ugly but hardly visible. Tried to repair neck in my blender model but.... It looked 50 times worse.

Maybe I could "borrow" proper colours from sallet and make it look better but to be honest I don't feel like doing that unless I have nothing else to do. I know how to change just the basics and when I want to solve big problem I just have to solve very tiny problem and then another one very tiny etc  :)

Your modified helmet looks very nice and there's nothing unfair about it, great job.

Besides the parts where I find horned helmets pretty hideous in general I don't see a problem with this at all, no worries.

More concerned about people who make all foliage invisible and stuff.
