maybe

Some time ago, a user altered model textures so that every ship appeared to be bright white. This was considered cheating and the user was locked out of the game until ASGS had verified that the textures were restored. Altering the prox mine sprites for the explicit purpose of making them more visible can be considered a similar practice, and would probably be counted as cheating.

The mines are sprites, not 3D models.

My purpose is to make the mines easier on the eye during long camps ...
If anything, as a scout whore I'd like to make prox mines less visible.

Anyway, I'm not planning to deviate from the basic visible size and color intensity of the default mine.
IMHO this would be a very marginally useful cheat anyhow.
Eventually this will be up to the community. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
FYI improved sprites for bullets are much more useful and are not considered a cheat ... more of a fix.
IIRC the default aleph size is twice what's used in the standard maps. Again, more a fix than a cheat.

Ready !

The first two new hi-res proximity mine are ready !

Veni Vidi Ouchi:

Pain Killer:

Here the mdl files:
Veni Vidi Ouchi
Pain Killer

Place these in the Allegiance/Artwork folder after backing up the original fxminebmp.mdl

It may crash your game when you deploy prox or when you see prox deployed by someone else.
I strongly suggest you try it on a solo server before joining a game.
Please report any problems to me ASAP.

Edit - fixed file, should be crash free now.

The Roman Legion requires a small percent of the profit.

Thank You,

I'll try to make sure that every 7th person podded by my prox is @SPQR.

I'll make an exception from my Jewish traditions and follow the rule set in Matthew 22:21
“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”
Which I interpret to mean I should send the @SPQR's home in a pod, and pk the rest and let god sort them out.

The pain killer is for ACE coz they got all sorts of aches from old age.
SRM will get a special prox just for them soon.
