Post subject:  New bunker modules. TREES!

So, after a "Small break" on modding, i decided to finish my project, dead tree. Why hasnt anyone made them before? But anyway, here is the first of all the trees: The DEAD (Spooky) tree.

These look great and I think they'd go well with the forest scene.
But You could do with making some more variations.

It's a good idea and the sprite is nice.

I would suggest that you make the background version of the sprite a darkened version of the foreground sprite, this way when you blast the tree away you still get a darker version of the tree in the background.

That way it won't look like the top of the tree is floating when you destroy the bottom.

I tried that, it looked like i hadnt destroyed anything and was pretty confusing... I just made this first tree to know that is anyone intersted, since thou are, i shalt make more trees! YAY!

If you can be bothered, make the background tree look like the inside of a tree.

It would be like slashing a tree in half.

Or what Capnbubs said.

The trees look good, but I'll wait for more variations before I download, mostly because I don't build bases anymore (and can't be bothered to place the trees.)

Perhaps, you could make it so that when the tree is destroyed there is no mat, to make it more realistic.

Would a map with no tree work?
Just a picture the size of the tree with nothing on it but that bright purple colour?

You could have it so it's just a stump in the background with a charred top... Charring has to be subtle so it could be believably non-charred. Also leafy trees are necessary.

Can we make it gib the explosive fruits when it breaks and modify the sprite so that it looks like it has fruit on its branches?

Just make the background piece (the one you see when it is destroyed) all pink, thus making it transparent, invisible.

Your trees can provide high-ground, sustain heavy weaponry shots and ships collision, that's pixel badassery for as low as 15 Oz :)

I'd like to see these as pinned actors with the branches made of attachments. It could be reasonably realistic, and I think if the trunk was destroyed, the rest of the tree would go down with it.
