If this is the wrong place to put this just let me know and I will fix it as soon as I can.
also if anyone has any ideas on what could be done better with this system let me know
The entire menu for custom camos would be accessed via an option in the customization menu and would be accessible to all players, And I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to read this and for giving feedback.
VERSION 1:
The idea behind it:
I saw A video the other day where someone used a marketplace camo that was grey, black, and orange, and I thought that it looked pretty cool. Suddenly I had an idea, why cant we make our own camo like that.
How I propose it could work:
Say a player unlocks all free camos for a tank, well I propose that once all of those have been unlocked a player should be able to create their own camo. This would work differently to user camo’s and marketplace camo’s and would allow for players to customize their tanks to a whole new level.
It Could work similarly to many other games where you can choose the pattern and then the colors that you would like. Meaning that it would not give the player the ability to create whole new skins for a tank, but rather create a camouflage pattern that fits their style.
Take this for example perhaps a player wants to have this camo be more of a snowy style camo that could also work in the desert, well they could simply make it use the colors white, grey, and tan instead of black, and desert pink. You may be wondering how this would save you camos and what it would label them as, well I propose that this would be done by the player.
VERSION 2:
The idea:
I saw A video the other day where someone used a marketplace camo that was grey, black, and orange, and I thought that it looked pretty cool. Suddenly I had an idea, why can’t we make our own camo like that. It would add so much customization to the game? Well I came up with an idea to introduce this to the game.
How it would work:
I suggest that the player would be able to create their own camo using any camo pattern they have unlocked and use any color combination (as long as its a color that is featured on a camo they already have) on said camo and be able to set the camo for any type of map (forest, desert, winter) and be able to have the ability to add the created camo to the camo list.
Take this camo for example, perhaps a player wants to have this camo be more of a snowy style camo that could also work in the desert, well they could simply make it use the colors white, grey, and tan instead of black, and desert pink, And when it comes to parts of the tanks such as road wheels, smoke grenades, etc I suggest that those have either 2 options that would be controlled via a toggle button, A) be a solid color of the players choice (from the 3 colors already used on the tank) or B) be a part of the camo just like the rest of the tank.
And for the application of this for tanks that only use one color like the basic desert seen on more modern USA tanks, I suggest that those kinds of camouflages only have the option for 2 colors (to give the ability for customization of road wheels etc, as this would allow any customization on those kinds of camo’s.
VERSION 3: (a combination of the first two using AI)
The Idea:
Inspired by the striking designs of marketplace camos, I believe players should have the power to create their own unique tank camouflage patterns. This feature would introduce an unprecedented level of personalization and add immense customization depth to the game.
How It Would Work:
I propose that once a player has unlocked all of a tank’s standard free camos, a new “Camo Creator” option becomes available. This system would differ from existing user-created skins or marketplace camos, offering a distinct customization experience focused on pattern and color.
Players would be able to:
-
Select an Unlocked Pattern: Choose from any camouflage pattern they have already unlocked for their tank. This ensures that the aesthetic remains within the game’s existing art style while providing a wide array of options.
-
Choose Custom Colors: Apply any color featured in an already owned camouflage to their chosen pattern. This allows for vast color combinations, transforming existing patterns into new, personalized schemes. For example, a player could take a typical forest camo pattern and recolor it with white, grey, and tan to create a versatile “snow-desert” hybrid.
-
Define Map Suitability: Assign their created camo to specific map types (e.g., forest, desert, winter). This would allow players to build a tailored collection of camos that are both visually appealing and strategically effective across different environments.
-
Integration into Camo List: Successfully created camos would be added to the player’s personal camo list, making them readily available for selection alongside other unlocked camos. Players would also have the ability to name their custom creations.
Enhanced Detail Customization:
For elements like road wheels, smoke grenades, and other smaller tank components, I suggest two customization options, controlled via a simple toggle:
The options
Option A: Solid Color: These parts could be a solid color chosen from the 3 colors already applied to the main tank camo.
Option B: Patterned: These parts would seamlessly integrate into the overall camouflage pattern, just like the rest of the tank’s hull.
Addressing Single-Color Camos:
For tanks that typically use a single primary color (e.g., the basic desert schemes on many modern USA tanks), the Camo Creator would offer a streamlined option. These camos would allow for the customization of up to two colors, primarily to enable the personalization of secondary elements like road wheels while maintaining the intended overall aesthetic.
This system would empower players to truly make their tanks their own, blending existing in-game assets with their personal creative vision to craft unique and expressive combat machines.
