Reverts new APC sprites

[lzimann]

The new sprites really don't fit the game at all and in my opinion they are really awful looking, they would honestly fit more as an intercom with video than an APC. Even if you consider the old one ugly, they are honestly better looking and more fitting than the new one. Will post a pic comparing both soon.

I would have to see it but it really feels like everything would be fixed if they faced off the wall instead of always facing south

That was fast.

Also rotating them would be a nightmare for readability, APCs are covered in tons of indicators to tell you what status they have regarding each function on it (locked, not charging/charging/full, auto/manual/auto-nopower/off on equipment, lighting, and environment). Flipping these would make it much, much worse.

I suppose you're right on the front of the old one looking "better" for the game around it. The rest of the game looks bad and since these have a fairly different -- and I hate to use the term "style" -- look, they don't fit in. This can be fixed by undoing the change, ignoring the sprites like we ignore all the shit sprites in the game, or respriting the whole damn game (fat chance).

I prefer #29901

[WJohn]

As do I.

like the saying is, "Improve, don't remove"

[PKPenguin321]

not applicable, this is an improvement and not a removal

Polishing poop and putting it between two pieces of bread doesn't make it any better than regular poop between to pieces of bread. It's still a poop sandwich.

[Chronitonity]

if they were rotated properly maybe they wouldnt look so awful

Honestly I don't like the new sprites, the power indicators (Machines, Lights, Doors) are too hard to read at a glance, too much sprite real estate is taken up by sprite fluff that doesn't serve a function. The old ones were much more readable by contrast and everything sort of bleeds together with the new sprites.

I just dont like how these APCs look blurred and smeary. Theres no hard edges anywhere on them so it looks like you took the photoshop blur tool and mashed it a few times

[Bawhoppen]

wj went mad with power

#29931 is the blessed version
