Legendary Weapons Sprite?

[eyerain]

why when i use the legendary weapons the pg seems has no weapons equipped? i don't see any sprite of a weapon moving

[Victoria]

It was made that way for years now, we cannot include a sprite anymore because it will need tons of work. The time and effort can be used for other more beneficial things instead of having a weapon sprite, if you want a weapon with a sprite, work and save for the valk weapons.

so if you want to save tons of work why don't u use the same sprites code of the valk weapons also for the normal legendary ones? ;)

Its not possible, they have different item IDs and its near to impossible to be able to have a sprite for our legendary weapons (plus, people buy valk weapons sometimes for their sprite, it won't be ideal to have that)

I suggested this years ago, and it has been turned down as usual. Here's a link for Genesis' opinion about Legendary Weapon Sprites, Click Here. Look for the Legendary Weapons Question there

If you still insists, then I suggest to search the forums for Legendary Weapon Sprites posts, the reasons are stated there as to why we cannot have the sprites and why our Legendary weapons do not have one.

Yes it's possible lol. Or you think a Knife, Damascus, Main Gauche has different sprites ID for the same sprite file? That doesn't make any sense.

The main reason I believe is to make clear the difference if the player are using Valk or Legendary weapons. But you shouldn't say it's due to limited number of available IDs, thats the most weird excuse I ever seen LOLOL.

I received the information from Genesis himself, he's one of our Administrators and if you doubt all the things I said then ask him about it. I did suggest together with other people to provide a simple weapon sprite for the legendary weapons (I suggested to just have one color for them, e.g Red) and what stopped me from suggesting it is Genesis' reason. It would be better if you ask him yourself or perhaps make some research, there are so many posts there about Legendary Weapons Sprite.

And also, I am not saying its IMPOSSIBLE, it is just not possible at the moment because it only gives a few benefits and there are many things that should be prioritized, thus the work needed to do so will be used on other more beneficial things instead.

I already made a few research, Click Here, Here and Here. Oh wait there's another one,.. and Here

It has been reviewed already but you might notice that it takes too long, simply because there are ALOT of things to be prioritized first, like the "Order of the Dragon", Raids, Bug Fixes, Class Boost/Nerf etc. and those things do give benefits to alot of players, not saying that the legendary weapon doesn't but it only is for styling purposes only. It has been years like that and we kinda grew used to it. I am not opposed to the idea, I actually suggested one myself back in the years so I somehow support it, but you got to understand that it won't be an easy job like you think it would be.

LOL i thought it was possible as you said, but you know, when a GM reply in that way it's also hard to comment again and reply sansibly.

Adding a simple sprite ID to the code of an item it should be done in what, 5 secs overall? the legendary weapons are how many? 20/30 items?

GMs says it's question of priorityes, i don't agree, just beacuse it isn't nothing of complicated to do (i did it in other private servers as responsible); as you said, it's an excuse, i think it's more quesion of give reasons to BUY the valk ones. I do not understand why not tell the truth , it is more transparent to the players and do not trigger even such discussions . Profit think is clear and understandable , just be honest .

If it'll take 5 secs, we could probably ask for your help since you somehow know a few about spriting. We already provided 80% of the effects of the valk weapons, what more can you ask for? Only a few bugs will suffice because we are doing this for all of you. Many has benefited from our Legendary Weapons, it would be better if you grow use to it while we think of a solution. I know a lot who has became a top player using Legendary Weapons (e.g Rayray, and perhaps BOMBIN before he became rich by laddering), we are not simply forcing everyone to buy Valk Weapons, if we do, then we wouldn't have offered 80%.

As of now, there are many things needed to be finished, there are even plans for future updates and having sprites for legendary weapons would be less of our worries at the moment since you can live without them anyways. Let me rephrase what I said, we CAN have that, but it will take awhile before it can be implemented.

It would be lovely if you could show us some examples of your work. Perhaps an example of a custom weapon sprite or an HG etc.

i was in charge of doing them like 10 years ago when i was a student, now after 10/15 years with the friends of that period we did a reunion in your server. when i can i would make some sprite trials again.
