Copper-tungsten alloy is one of the things I didn't look up a reference at all. it was originally a DyTech thing, so just used something approximately the same colour he did.
When it came to doing the pipe graphics, since Copper is this orangey colour, and Tungsten is black, I just, went somewhere between, made a dark copper. I'm amazed how much real Copper-Tungsten just looks like "Dark Copper"
Your rendition on the right though, looks more brown, perhaps add a little more saturation to it, make it slightly more on the orange side? Not to the extreme of the left image though.

Copper-tungsten is interesting; it's not an alloy, properly speaking, but a composite material since they don't dissolve into each other.

Oh, trust me, I appreciate the power of tiny tweaks when it comes to graphics.

If you don't have a preference between the three, I will use the least saturated of them, the ct-60.

Snazzy electronics assembling machine sprites (I wanted to be able to distinguish them from mini-machine assembling machines):


Also, can someone please help me out with a more elegant solution to adding additional layers to a table, aside from the workable

Code: Select all

enity.animation.layer[6] = blah
enity.animation.layer[7] = blah
enity.animation.layer[8] = blah

table.insert(table, [pos,] value)
Insert a given value into a table. If a position is given insert the value before the element currently at that position:

> t = { 1,3,"four" }
> table.insert(t, 2, "two") -- insert "two" at position before element 2
> = table.concat(t, ", ") -- output the table as a string
1, two, 3, four
If no position is specified we append the value to the end of the table:

> table.insert(t, 5) -- no position given so append to end
> = table.concat(t, ", ")
1, two, 3, four, 5
When a table has an element inserted both the size of the table and the element indices are updated:

> t = { 1,"two",3 } -- create a table
> = # t -- find current size
3
> table.foreach(t, print) -- display the table contents
1 1
2 two
3 3
> table.insert(t, 1, "inserted") -- insert an element at the start
> = table.concat(t, ", ") -- see what we have
inserted, 1, two, 3
> = # t -- find the size
4
> table.foreach(t, print) -- the indexes have been updated
1 inserted
2 1
3 two
4 3
When no position is specified the element is inserted at the end of the table according to the calculated size. The size of a table may be user specified and not reflect the number of elements, e.g.,

> t = { 1,"two",3; n=10 } -- create a table with user size
> table.insert(t, "end") -- insert with no position inserts at "end"
> table.foreach(t, print) -- display the table contents
1 1
2 two
3 3
11 end
n 11

table.insert(enity.animation.layer, blah)

table.insert(enity.animation.layer, 2, blah) -- puts the new layer in table position 2, shuffles everything else (EG shadow) to position 3+

Trying to determine the best way to indicate tier on the pumpjacks. My current idea involves a stripe of paint, rather than solid-colored parts, since the jacks aren't a grey:

Prototype (I haven't cleaned it up):

Finished mask:


Simple, but I realllllly like how well that turned out. Particularly given trying to find something else to color just all looked bad.

At last. This has been my least favorite entity to do.



Gonna tweak the color though, so that tier 3 actually is distinguishable.

I tweaked the electrolyser mask/highlights (the darker walls is the new version). It's not darker per se, but I think it works better. I tried a number of things to make it darker but they don't work for my colors. :C

The only remaining issue is that it's more... reflective than your typical vanilla entity, and that's really something that has to be fixed in Blender.

Edit: I lied, I don't like the new highlights, so here's new mask with old highlights compared with new mask with new highlights:


Darker is new mask + old highlights.

How many of these reskins have been added to the bob's mods. Also any plans on any circuits reskins
