I don't know how interested you guys are but I put together an advanced sprite pack for customization of your mereeens, basically adds a load of shading over the top of the standard sprites to give you a more realistic look.

it was a personal project but I thought it would benefit the game as a whole, even if only slightly, for now

Where's the light source?
That simple contour blackened does look better than the plain color at first glance, but the inconsistent shadow castings are an eyesore to me.

I didn't choose a light source, i copied the shading patterns from images in the codex.

Where is it inconsistent? Point it out and i can ammend, its literally a case of editing sprites.

Sadly, mk 4 is looking less attractive then any other armour.

If you trace a line from the dark to light parts, taking into acount armor's curvature, you realise that the light source is mostly about a foot in front of each nipple.
It's like you olnly have ambiant occlusive (dark corners) but no clear "source" aka ray.
Worse offender shadows are on the shoulders.
I'd suggest you google "space marine cosplay" to have a look at shadow casting on real armor, you should see the difference quite fast. http://imgur.com/gallery/d2JhH

It has a really plain chest-piece.

I re-designed the Maximus and then re-shaded, what do you think?

Every scout in mk 6 and dual wielding missile launchers  will ruin my relationships with everyone, since i break the codex? Or main thing not to break in codex is to have less then 1000 of marines?

Long as you pay taxes and don't talk to Xenos, nobody cares.
Welcome to the Imperium!

Correct. Chapter size is the only thing that matters as far as how your Chapter is structured.

"Initiate, did you scout out the enemy forces?"
"Yes my lord."
"And? How do they look?"
"Chunky, sir."

so damn chunky.

Just installed this for the first time and I'm encountering some display issues. Certain icons are not loading properly and I'm getting green areas and red x placeholders where the images and icons should be:

I've checked the ui folder and the resources.png image is there as expected. Any ideas?

Hey, this exact same thing happened to me, theres a problem with the data file installed which cannot be rectified by the end user.

To rectify, download the source code for chapter master (mod), the gamemaker studio (free), and delete the loading file in images (the loading screens cause a small, but very annoying error to pop up when loading and saving).

Open chapter master source code in gamemaker studio and, without making any changes, make an application to windows (set dropdown menu in the centre bar at the top of the option bars to windows and then go to file, create application)

Place this wherever you want, and install. Standard install directory is straight into the user folder in your name. Then copy and paste the images and icons that remain into that installation folder. Run, and voila, should work (just without loading screens)

Little long winded, but worth it in my book. Hope it goes fine
