While waitin' fer more possible customization this should do it yarr!

EDIT: make it an option

More easily said than done. To do this would require custom uploadable textures for each ship type; not a small task sadly. Just getting enough in place to perform this request would be 90-95% of the process for allowing complete user customized textures for ships.

-1 for the actual OP. I am all for customized textures for ships though.

This wouldn't require custom uploadable textures for each ship type. It could be done on the client-side using some font since all guild tags are just (up to) 4 character acronyms.

I think he wants others to see them too.

Yes, you'd have to use textures, because otherwise flat text doesn't angle properly.

What he means is that when a player enters the sector, my own client would look up his guild, make a copy of the ship's texture, render the text onto that texture, and then apply that new custom texture to his ship. His client would do the same to mine. Nobody would have to upload anything.

Keller's original point is still valid: easier said than done. It's also (I think) a little more difficult to do this sort of thing in a way that is supported on all devices which run VO and uses as little RAM/VRAM and CPU time as possible.

Of course it's easier said than done. That's kind of a given with software development. This would be easier to do than complete customization of ship textures by players though... also less susceptible to abuse provided the devs don't let anyone make penis guilds again [8=D]
