EMT Updates

[SgtSammac]

Bit of a three parter, checked with Skull before creating. Overall all suggestions work as a one part overhaul for our EMT/Paramedic Role. 

1. Jumpsuit

New Uniform for EMT's instead of scrubs. Currently have 3 variations I'd love feedback on. 

EMT Blue:

Blue Jumpsuit with Light Green Medical Department markings.

Spoiler

EMT Green:

Dark Green Jumpsuit with Light Green Medical Department Markings

Spoiler

EMT White:

White Jumpsuit with Dark Green Legs and Dark Green Medical Department Markings

Spoiler

 

2. EMT Jacket

Finally a replacement for that vomit coloured monstrosity, again a couple of variants. Blue with Hi-Vis or Green plain.

Spoiler

 

3. EMT Backpack

New medical backpack, and organisation pouches to match. Available in 3 Colours currently - Red, Blue, Green.

Currently got 2 ideas in mind for how it could work mayhaps. 
A: Straight up replacement for the department backpack given to EMT's. 
B: Spawn 1/2 in EMT quarters and/or Medical Storage, to act as "grab packs" that EMT's can use instead of their white medical department bags.

The pouches are designed to act the same as cardboard boxes, to organise items within the backpack/allow more stuff to be stored, depending how OCD a medic wants to be.

Spoiler

(Just need to do in-hand sprites.) 

 

Ideally I'd love some feedback to refine and improve. Not currently too clued up on Coding, it's been a long time. So Ideally I'd be handing the sprites over to a Dev team coder who'd be willing to help implement.

I dig the EMT White a lot.

[Doc]

Of the three jumpsuits, I prefer the green or white.

As for the storage options, I unfortunately have to say that I don't think they mesh too well with existing bags and satchels, though it's a good effort. There is, however, an existing-and-unused sprite currently buried in our codebase that, with a brief color adjustment (that neon yellow to white, the forest-green to med's pale-green) could be reused very readily.

Fair enough, valid thoughts.

Yes, I remember that EMT pack from back in my original days.... or at least I remember drawing something very similar. But alas was again something that never used. TBF even its colours as is would work, in particular if combined with the suggested EMT uniforms above.

I can get behind the white jumpsuit for the EMTs, and also I really really really really like the green jacket. If high-vis stripes could be put on it, that would be perfect.

I advise against using blue colours for medical uniforms, however, because the Aurora medical colours are represented by the colour green, while blue represents the Interstellar Aid Corps. The bags are alright, if a bit bulky for my own liking, but that's not so much of an issue; however, Doc was right, they don't particularly mesh with our existing bags. Also, you should perhaps consider spriting Satchels as well if you're doing Backpacks.

I think this stuff looks good over all though, and is an improvement on what we currently have.

I can certainly look at adding the hi-vis piping to the green one.

Unfortunately a common issue with reality as well. Given the kit they have to hold, they can be bulky and unwieldy. God knows I’ve got enough of them. Hence part of the suggestion where they are added as a “grab bag” type  

 

and yes. I certainly can do satchel and/or duffel bag style ones too 

 

I’ll see what I can do to make them fit the others a bit more thematically. 

[SgtSammac]

Just a mini update for now, with the EMT-Green jacket updated to have the Hi-Visibility stripes.

[Carver]

EMT White is going to retain the nice, long sleeves from the OP as an option, yes?

Yes! I did options for rolled and unrolled sleeves to work with the verb.  I just haven’t done a rolled down/shirtless version.

Going off of your suggestion, got some results so far.

This thread is looking really good. I enjoy how these look!

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it!

 

 

EDIT:

Because I'd heard a few people talk about it. Have a EMT Tac Vest / EMT Chest rig. Did a few colour options again because I'm not sure what would work best.

 

Brown - Was just the original colour of the reference material that gave me the idea. 

Green - Because medic colours

White - Original chest rig colour

Red - Ehhh? 

Dark/Black - Almost lore wise could work. "Oh look, we have some surplus tac vests from security. Lets just put some badges on and chuck 'em at the EMT's."

Added EMT Chestrig

Jumpsuit: I think the white jumpsuit looks the best.
Jacket: Green plain looks best. Could you toss a little white and brighter green in there? It looks a bit desaturated.
Backpacks: Not much of an opinion on them myself. The shape looks really nice though.
Vest: White looks the best, black looks a little too much like armor at a glance, imo.

Really nice sprites! I can implement these once the feedback process is over, if you'd like.

Can't hurt! Will take a look. 

You mean like a two-tone?

[geeves]

I'll tell ya over DMs, easier to explain that way.

[SgtSammac]

FINALISATION! 

Based on feedback recieved. I've managed to finalise my suggestion and prepare it for a PR. I have nixxed my idea for EMT backpack for now. So my suggestion currently only overhauls:
- EMT Jumpsuit

- EMT Chestrig/Vest

- EMT Jacket

Vest:

 

Jacket:

Dude these finalized designs look absolutely dope, especially the rig. I hope they get merged.

Thanks, I’m glad people like them. The pull request is up  so now it’s the waiting game
