Is it possible to have various textures for units. Like setting a bunch of textures for one style of shield but different colors and such and then having the units in the formation use random shields from that texture pool.
This could also be applied to weapons, were you have a few units within the formation with random weapons, although these different weapons should have different specs we could allow them to really be the same weapon as the rest of the unit has just it would look as if it were something else.
Each 3d model should be set to take textures from a seperate texture pool I guess.
And I imagine this same concept could be expanded to clothing or faces. I I'd just like the ablility to do this even if it isn't taken advantage of in the actual release of the game.
Just want to know if we could expect something like this, I realise the game is more or less done but think you guys should still add it in. If not just give a reason, your busy guys I'll take whatever excuse.
