Zareek Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I'm currently drooling over the Kuberus Scindo Skin, and at the same time, im crying because it only applies to the normal scindo. Isnt the model for Scindo and Scindo Prime the same? Either way, please make the Prize skins work for Prime too. I really want to purchase it !

lightdragon6 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 the scindo prime is a completely different model in comparison to the normal one, the prize winning ones however were made for the normal variant, there was a time when the scindo prime came out that they forgot to disable the additional skins you could put on to it(such as the forest camo skin) and it did not look right, there were broken textures and such, so unless you want a very broken looking weapon, that is your reason why you can't put the prize winning skins on the prime scindo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndeadGhostWarrior Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 same. id purchase the whole set if it worked on the primes. which is sad as many players have not purchased it because of this fact. i wouldnt sacrifice damage for looks. which is a shame since so much effort went into making those skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna throw my 2 cents out. If the skins can't be used becuase of model issues, then why are the skins that are complete model changes (brokk, dagger axe, etc.) not allowed either? Wouldn't a simple fix be just having the scindo prime use the same model that the regular scindo uses, but only when one of those skins are being used? Tbh, it's been a long time since this problem has risen, and I still feel kinda duped on my money when I bought the entire tennogen bundle, only to end up using a single skin for the vectis.

Ognj Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 This could have been solved really easy as i said once:Why not have those skins its "own separate" model that looks exactly like the original Scindo/Zorens etc... and then just apply skins on them.Think of it like modelswaps rather than applying skins on a prime weapon.

Celle-Reveris Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The simple(in theory) solution is reenabling skins for Scindo prime, and having the non prime skins swapping to the non prime model; however, I have no idea how this engine handles this so I actually have no idea if it's simple or not.

Just swap the model to that of the normal Scindo when the skin is equipped. Model swaps are easy solutions to all of these problems. We can model-swap the Reaper Prime into a candy cane, and we can model-swap the Glaive Prime, Kestrel, and Halikar into the Dark Sector Glaive. I don't see why we can't just model-swap Scindo Prime, Paris Prime, etc. when equipping skins that people are still actively purchasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama_Sasha Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 just like Rebecka said, its complicated. Due to the difference between the models of Scindo and Scindo prime, the UV mapping is also very different, and could cause some odd texture angels and more.

And to address the problem of the few(2) with stats just remove them for primes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the least amount of trouble would be to make the skin selection be like the alt helmets/alt Warframe skins (Proto-Xcal and Nemesis Nyx), where the whole model changes. That way, the Scindo Prime will simply use the regular Scindo mesh along with the custom community texture skin on it. I don't see how that's difficult nor complicated from a programming point of view, considering you've done it with the Glaive Prime --> Proto Glaive.

I doesn't make sense though, I understand it will look broken, but can't we just get the scindo shape and form when we apply it to our scindo prime? This would at least give us the ability to keep our stats instead of having to switch to the regular scindo Answered by Rebecca above. But I hope that these silly things won't happen for future gear Edited June 19, 2015 by (XB1)LexaHex488 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
