Re: Matt higby doing a q&a at redit!


I'm pretty sad to see vehicle hacking isn't in anymore. Balance issues are one thing, but wouldn't it be possible to simply recolor the textures in the shader? At least that would avoid having to load a whole new set of textures. Since it's a relatively rare case it might even make sense to write a separate shader for hacked vehicles, if you want to keep things really optimized in the unhacked case. But that's just some ideas, obviously I have no idea how things are implemented in the engine.

I think it's worth trying to keep in though, it really added some variety to the game and a great sense of accomplishment when bringing home that purple Vanguard.
