Ramp Flashings
« on: June 21, 2011, 07:33:58 pm »
Submerged ramps that flash is annoying, distracting, and probably has a negative effect on FPS. So why have them? A blue ramp is enough to signify there's water under it. And a red ramp would obviously have magma. Alternatively, you could have a light blue ramp and a dark blue background if your worried about getting it confused with cobaltite.

Additionally ramps that are damaged by ammo shots shouldn't flash either, for the same reasons. They should just stay as their ramp graphic.

Random arrow deterioration that doesn't rely on rain would be nice.

Did you know that if you write 3.14 on a piece of paper and hold it in a mirror, it will say pie? And if you divide 42 by 3.14... you get 13.37!

It is incredibly satisfying to kill a man with a butterfly.

Agree, agree, agree. Also, stockpiles on ramps=annoying flashiness.

agree with the primary point, not with this one. Stockpiles should flash when placed over stuff >> if only so you don't forget that you might have some kind of interior access to your stockpile...
