Maybe these glow textures could replace the chrome textures or bumpmap. But I think that there shouldn't be an adjustable glow factor but just a set glow for white. White textures then have the most glow and this decreases when the color gets darker.

This is a very neat idea. I love it. It would make this game more entertaining. Plus, seeing other people's lights are always awesome. I love your little demos to give us a visual idea.

I support this 115% would make customization so much cool being a texture artist it would expand what i could do

This would be a splendid idea, for the fact that it would add more flare to replays and a lot of things in that area. I can already imagine those amazing spin kicks with the flare of glow...

I support this 100%, but there is one thing. They should be the most expensive things in the market, for if that doesn't happen, here come the Epileptic Seizure warnings...

This is a cool idea, but please make them expensive.. so that not many people have them.. everything is becoming affordable... Make these items expensive..... it would make the shock and awe factor better

Instead of everyone having it... the people with it... it would just be so much better.


awesome idea though

Definitely supported. There is so much potential for this - like lights that change color with impact, lights that can mark your opponent where you have hit them with it, etc. This would be so awesome.

Let's add to this idea. Instead of having it like a flame forge, where it can be abused, why not have it be something like having chrome body parts? What if these were items and there were certain color, body part & aura brightness ones to go about? It would add a whole new and exiting system to toribash. It would create an all new gig.

Counter Argument:
These are useless and won't benefit the market or people alike. Just think about how chrome turned out!

I can agree that chrome items didn't turn out well, but that was due to the item being glossy and complete rubbish. Instead of repeating the mistake/solve the mistake by getting rid of it, we should come up with new ideas for these body-part items.

The market would boost in activity. These items wouldn't be like 3d items and have price fluctuations, they would be more like force/relax colors or joint colors.

Overall, I think the good absolutely overweighs any bad in this idea.

This could make Toribash-video editing so much easier and cooler.
There should also be an option to turn glow off if people don't like it or if it makes it lag for people.

i have never seen chrome ingame which sucks cause i was considering saving up for it for a certain period of time

also to make my post relevant, i think link does have a point that it won't really have an impact and im pretty sure this is just a bit too over hyped, would glowing tribal textures be cool? yeah! are they really that worth making? not really.

One quick thing, you NEED to add this to the original post, because I see that people think this will be abuse.
If people abuse it, they will either get their glow item banned, or they get banned for texture abuse.
