Bring us back the old bow color!!!

[StuLLe]

Hejhej,
with the new patch the bow textures were changed. They now have this light brown diarrhea color, almost shining like the torch and while just looking ugly in my opinion its destroying our diguise:D
At least let us choose, which bow color we want. That would also add some diversity to the game, although i have no clue if this is possible to implement.

So archers out there give me your opinion!

[Tennenoth]

Yes, i'm already in the process of putting back the last patch's bow's textures...

[Magikarp]

It looks crap, you are better off making them purple than this. Or even pink!

[StuLLe]

Tenne, you really gotta tell me how if they wont change this!!!

[Tennenoth]

I intend on posting once I know it works without screwing too much stuff up

I mean afterall it's just the texture files and they're not used as melee weapons so it won't screw up the length or reach of a weapon to it's look so it should be fine!

[Joxer]

Now they look absolutely beatiful and realistic. Keep em!!!

The old bow models are still in the files. Look at ranged_new.brf in the folder 'resources' in your cRPG directory using the program 'OpenBRF' (google it) and you can simply rename the old models to the new names, and rename the new models to something else in order to switch back to the old models.

Sounds great Tenne
And thx for the info Shik!

Well that would simplify things, i'll crack on with it and post up a finished texture folder (and resource folder).

Edit: I'll upload the brf file once changed and then you can just paste that into your folder overwriting it youself.

Progress Update: Reverted back to the old state of the bows and textures and models however I cannot find a way to get it so that the models change when they are in their carried state, so they look normal when they're out, but when you're carrying them, the string goes right through you. Those are not in the brf files as far as I can see but I shall continue to search.

I'm not going to post anything right now since I am very tired and i'm not sure if it actually is working however I do intend on making some proper textures that look like the old thing so that it is a lot simpler to change in the future if the devs decide they like the MDF style bows.

hei archers, you look look so fancy with this new textures. why changing it? 

[Korgoth]

Why is the war bow a Japanese bow? Why didn't you just create a whole new item? Now all the European looking players that had Warbows have Jap bows and it looks weird.

And has cRPG changed into some Rave party? All the bows glow in the dark :/

I like them.  All the melee weapons look like they're fresh off the anvil, so why shouldn't the bows have that nice, freshly carved look.

[Kafein]

Now they look absolutely beatiful and realistic. Keep em!!!

Yes, and fucking VISIBLE !!!!

Now those pussies can't hide so well. I'm making a copy of these textures files in case they change them back.

Because I have a bow that was handed down over generations for a start, it shouldn't look like it's just been carved, I want it to look like it's been well used, varnished, well looked after not like someone in the 21st century went "Here, have a replica (as much as I based my original build off him) bow, no one will know but just say it's been passed through the generations".

If the point of changing the color was to make archers more visible, then at least add some reflecting gear like this to our infantry rave community:
