Lambda Wars (formerly Half-Life 2: Wars) brings the struggle between the human resistance and their Combine overlords to a multiplayer real-time strategy setting. The Lambda Wars beta only requires Alien Swarm installed to play. It features 3 multiplayer game modes: Sandbox, Annihilation and Overrun, showcasing the Rebels and Combine playable factions and a full-fledged RTS interface and HUD. There is also a singleplayer tutorial and a handful of singleplayer missions.
Team color texture improvement chronicles :)
(In response to the previous image)
I think something like this would work out very well, on all Combine Infantry models.

At the very least, that outer-thigh bit will be very noticeable and won't look nasty.
Thanks for your input, we've thought about this...I think coloring thigh pads would make the overall appearance too spotty and not serious, especially for the darker regular/shotgunner uniforms, in particular with bright colors like green, cyan and gold. From the RTS view the teamcolor glow does rather well for distinguishing teams, and close-up there are enough colored details IMO.
I don't have the game installed on this PC at the moment, so I can't make a good suggestion for them. But it should work for the Elite at least, right? =p
Still too spotty even for the Elite, also team color should be applied according to the seams of the uniform, that's why teamcolor on the helmet doesn't look integrated in your image, sorry.
does the highlight still appear whether the troop is selected or not?
Yes, the glow always stays on. For selected units, an animated selection circle on the ground is added.
i personally wouldnt want that. its gonna be hard to differ between selected troops and non selected
Have you ever tried playing? It's been this way for about 2 years and no one complains, the selection circles are perfectly visible ;)
it's just constructive criticism, i love the game, i play it alot
