AmoryBlaine Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Standard, Ballistic, and Riot armors. They're completed. I'm gonna do some alts for specific factions, ect. EDIT: I intend to break down armor into the vest type, and have pouches for items (2, and 4) as accessories, as well as badges, ect. Helmets will have covers with different colours to match the vests. They too will have some types of accessories like goggles, ect. Edited January 3, 2020 by AmoryBlaine
Doc Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Can you include gauntlets and boots for the ballistic and riot sets? I worry they'll look far, far too similar at current, with really only the helmets distinguishing the two.

I'm probably gonna STEAL a bit from Bay's designs too, though.

Carver Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 As I've said; ensure the stomach is covered by default (looking at the left one there). If it wasn't covered NT wouldn't be using it because it's effectively the armoured equivalent of a sports bra/crop top (and already looks the part, being exactly one pixel from showing off the navel). If it doesn't reach the belt sprited on the uniform then it fails as a vest.
Carver Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Not in the slightest, I've given my feedback on why multiple times over.
Happy_Fox Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I agree with Carver. Extend the vest down by 1 pixel and you'll get closer to what's in the image. Edited January 4, 2020 by Happy_Fox

Carver said that the far left vest doesn't protect the stomach, you linked a picture of a vest with a narrow gap between it and the waistline but your vest doesn't protect that much and has a noticeable gap between it and the waistline. Lowering the vest by one pixel makes the gap look smaller and far more like the one in the picture - and more like the protection an armour vest should grant as a minimum.

I don't agree and do not recognize this as something worth changing. I specifically designed it to have a gap to better show the belt as a separate item to the vest, as well as a means of verify visually when someone is or isn't wearing a belt. Lowering the vest any further has overlap between the belt and vest. Overlap that shouldn't be there, given this vest, and this belt are designed to work in tandem.
AmoryBlaine Posted January 4, 2020 Author Posted January 4, 2020 There are no large white variants, and the standard gunmetal grey vest would not fit on the tile. But you've seen it already.
AmoryBlaine Posted January 4, 2020 Author Posted January 4, 2020 So basically, how this system works is. The vests are the base for the modular system. They come in a variety of colours for different groups. So on the first tile, the top left is the Sec standard vest. The top right, the Mercenary. You add on the pouches you want. Small, Large. Whatever else. More contributions to how this'll work would be good.

This is unnecessary when there's a verb to show/hide the belt, and as shown with the middle vest it's still quite visible when worn and 'hidden'. As it goes, a good belt works on-top of a vest, rather than shaping the vest around a frankly oversized belt that looks more akin to a girdle for a geriatric old man (The pixel-height of the belt shown matches that of the mob's face, for reference).
Dark1Star Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Can I make a suggestion, and perhaps have the ballistic helmet have some sort of "half-visor" over the eyes? Or perhaps have them have ballistic goggles attached to the helmet, and you can toggle them.
AmoryBlaine Posted January 4, 2020 Author Posted January 4, 2020 I'm just gonna add ballistic goggles as their own eyewear. That seems more fun.

I agree. Designing the vest around an optional component seems backwards from a design point of view. It should stand on its own as looking like it actually protects a very vital area - but if you disregard this then there's not much more to be said I guess.

I think that with the belt he means is the security duty belt?
YourDaddy117 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Extending the vest makes it look 100x better tbh.
