Possible bug: When you place an item it locks the colors and symbol you have when you place it, and doesn't update when you update your settings.

Looks very explotable - redo the base inbetween changing SG ogo, and you can have different flags all over the place.

Most likely resets when the base resets.

RockinStone · 05-03-2006 05:54 AM

No it doesn't reset. Basically if you place for example large banner 12 all over the base, by changing 1 of thos it changes them all.

But if you use 12 different large banners they are all set to different symbols they will remain as such.

So if you want to make changing easier stick with 1 or 2 specific banner types and make editing easier.

But for those for example like myself. Who intend to make a coalition war room with banners representing every member of the coalition, I will enjoy this variable feature.

QUESTION, possible bug:

Has anyone else tested the "Globe" symbol? Everytime I try to get the "Globe" symbol to appear it comes out as the "Biohazard" symbol on any of the new base items (wall banners, podium, table, etc.)

(The Globe symbol is the one that shows the skeleton view of a globe, not the one which shows continents).

Ive tested it with two different characters so if someone else could confirm or deny that would be great.

Tech podium, hologram, and banner.

There are, of course, larger holograms and banners, not to mention the banner stands and the floor tiles and the glass plates (which kinda suck because the glass doesn't change color). Oh, and the smaller tables you haven't seen yet.

That's the Autonomous Expert System. I posted details in the Base Construction forum, as well as multiple pics. It's a third-tier Control item, costs 2M Prestige to place, and need a 3.95M room to hold it.

Not seeing a thread for the new colour tinting, so I'll mention here that the mid walls on tech 2 seem bugged - they're only using one of the two colours.

SG logos: for a medium-sized character, the podium is too high to see over! (Assuming you're meant to face over the curved wall.)

Also: how about adding some existing badge art to the glass pedestals in place of the SG logo to make Base Trophies, awarded when you get the badge? For example, the Devilfish tentacly circle could be stuck on a smoky glass pedestal that you could then put in your base as a memento of your heroic deeds.

If the result is to have Banners, Tables and Tiles in any color combination with any Icon they should just give us the ability to set colors and icons without having to edit our SG settings.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think I agree this would be a nice QoL change.

On a different but related topic: I'd like to see the possible SG logo choices be expanded to include every symbol in the merged CoV/CoH chest detail list. You already have to have CoV to use bases anyhow.

One drawback of the internet is how it has trained so many people to think that one day is a long time.

Trophy cases would rock so hard. The trick would be doing items that are either major (like Devilfish), or non-specific, like a robot arm, or a full trophy rack with multiple stuff on it, or a board with new clippings on them.

I could see something like unlocking items when you get story-arc souvenirs being way too problematic, not only because of the volume of art, but having everyone in your group having one and it just gets messy.

There needs to be more visual in-game results of your heroic/villanous deeds, and bases are a good way to do that. Maybe if they ever do personal hideouts, which is more suited to single-hero stuff.

Major_Blammo · 05-06-2006 07:00 PM

Some logos don't look so good on the banners because of the way their colors work. It'd be nice to have some versions of the banners that put all parts of the logo in the first SG color, and just use the second color for the background.

Here's an example:
Click me.

Agreed on access to all of the character-available logos rather than just the ones groups can have. In addition to giving groups more choices, it would be nice to put a banner up for each player's main.

Please adjust the sizing for the podiums and tables. A huge character should look huge standing next to things, rather than having average-sized characters look tiny.

Really, it would have been nice to have the tables without chairs attached. Then we could have had chairs in a few different sizes that we could put in according to who is in the group.

(Of course, then we'd want the ability to rotate in more than just 90 degree increments... and the ability to put each character's logo on the back of each chair.)

Is it too late to get wall signs that say "Transport" and "Sickbay" and so on, with directional arrows? I can see why PvPers might not want to use them, but for PvE bases they'd be handy.

The changes suggested in this thread would be much appreciated. Having said that... the new stuff is great. It definitely makes the base feel more like it's ours.

Agreed. I was going to make the same suggestion. My SG uses the Justice Scales logo and in most of the banners half the logo is not visible.

Stupid question maybe, but how did you color the walls and floors? It can't be lighting can it? I haven't see the option to change the colors and the plain old silver-gray is really... eh... looking...

Generic_Past · 05-07-2006 11:44 AM

The holograms are very difficult to see with different lightings or SG colors to FYI the devs in case there needs to be an adjustment.

This space is intentionally left blank.

Go to Pick Style, the normal 'level' window will turn into the base color tinting window.

Iceclimber · 05-07-2006 01:57 PM

Don't know if it's just me, but the Diamond logo doesn't work as a supergroup emblem on the items. It's always just a blended box for the two supergroup colors, but no diamond.

MadScientist · 05-07-2006 03:17 PM

One more reason to let us change banner colors directly...
I went into Edit Base, and had someone else change SG settings while I was there. The banners looked the color I expceted, up until I actually let go and dropped them in the spot. This could cause all sorts of trouble with 2 people editing things at once.

Another QoL reason for this... it would simplify life greatly if you want to change existing banners. Like if you placed one of a new color and it was a little bit off-color, it's a huge process to fix it.

However, this all seems very minor. I wouldn't be surprised if this fix waits for the first or second patch after I7. After all, the banners do work as they are, it's just very clumsy.

Catbert_NA · 05-07-2006 10:10 PM

black tend to go transparent

none of the textures are showing correctly for me though it might be gfx steeing so it saet then on high still same results

logos all one color banners all one color

the color schemes for the wall dont want to stay with the color chosen unless clicked sevral times

Nice picture.

But Podiums: How tall do you have to be? My character is only 6' (which makes her smaller than average in Paragon city) but she can't see over the edge of the podium if she stands in it properly.

I know these things are just for decoration but at the same time we should do our best to encourage the use of bases for socialising.

Prodiguy · 05-08-2006 07:23 AM

I made an average size Thug MM, and the base is based off of a factory, with tech and Arcane and such, but when I put the podium down, for speeches and the like, my AVERAGE SIZE thug MM could hardly look over. And I must ask, why is the floor lower than the ramp in the podium?

I actually decided to turn it backwards, so I can see over. But that is not really a podium now, is it?

Rose · 05-08-2006 04:45 PM

Well, the logo display items look great, as far as I'm concerned - I really like the effect of the glass items. Too bad there's no rose among the SG logos. Oh well. (A dove would've been nice too)
