Skype is whakatak. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hey I can do some texturing. Message some of your ideas and we can get to work!

Sup. I'm interested in the texturing. Skype is whakatak. Message me some details and I'll see what I can do. I can send examples of past work too if you want.

Did a quick test found some toa/matoran. Everything looks really good. Only a couple things I would change:

Matoran need to be more distinguished from their respective toa (maybe slightly smaller?), and maybe have randomly selected masks. Currently they all look identical to their toa :tongue.gif:

Elemental shards should be coloured so that they can be easily identified in the inventory.

Mask icons look really cool, but again maybe colour them a bit so I can tell which ones are which in my inventory.

In my opinion they shouldn't drop protodermis gems, since that kinda defeats the purpose of mining for it.

These are just some ideas, it looks amazing right now, this thing has awesome potential!

Masks should also have a durability like tools and once their durability runs out, they turn grey and powerless. Adding elemental shards to them on a crafting table should repair them. As for mask powers, tahu's mask gives shielding (maybe extra health or armour), pohatu's mask gives extra speed (or maybe makes things go slow-mo), onuas's mask gives strength (faster digging), gali's mask gives underwater breathing, kopaka's mask gives x-ray vision (but the zoom idea would probably work better), and lewa's mask gives levitation (flying I guess).

Pohatu is done, moving on to Gali and some weapons, is it possible to hack the toa npc to hold 2 weapons? (i.e. two claws, hooks, sword and shield)

Cool, for now I just recolored your texture.
I'll add your new textures as you make them.
Edit: I may release 0.1 soon if I can work out this wierd glitch I have.

oh and if you could post or send me a template for the matoran that would be great. Just label all the parts so know which part is where (i.e. arm inside, outside, front back; body left, right, front, back; head, legs, hat/mask). Then i can get started on that as soon as i finish the toa!

lol yeah its kinda a mess right now :laugh.gif:
anyway i've already got lewa done, planning on working on pohatu next, and possibly start on some weapons and stuff for them to hold

Hey heres a Tahu texture skin for a toa character. If you think its any good I can make more in different colours and stuff. If you don't want a mask on him he does have a face underneath that could be used instead. Let me know if you have ideas to make it look better and I can try that. I can work on the matoran/weapons/masks/items textures as well.

Dude if you need any info (names, powers, species, masks, anything) i'm your guy :tongue.gif: I have a good chunk of the comic series for reference, I've been looking through them. Rahkshi would be a cool addition too. I agree with 1adude's idea of doing it chronologically though :tongue.gif:

This is an awesome idea. I used to have a ton of these toys, man they were cool, I'm a big fan. I could help with testing and some sprites for masks and stuff i guess, my coding is a little rusty, but I'll try to get back into that though, maybe then i can help you code. As for ideas, protodermis should be the main building element for armour, masks, etc. Titans (like makuta perhaps) would be really cool if someone know how to create a custom mob. Don't forget about turaga! Toa should hold their respective weapons e.g. Tahu has a flame sword, Onua has claws, etc. Another cool thing would be to add the ability to craft extra armour with energized protodermis (lava maybe?) for a toa nuva. Maybe some bohrok too? So excited!
