Some beta shield textures (likely to change):

Thanks, it's a WIP for the time being. Hopefully I'll have some sort of shield texture ready tomorrow night.

Another take at an arena shield:



Better or worse?

Dropped color on emblem and upped contrast:

Another shield variation:

[Ealdormann Hussey]

yeah I like them, but maybe it would look better on a straight topped shield like the heraldic one, so the top of the shield and the top of the emblem run parallel?
just an idea, I really like the emblem on it, looks damn good.

The problem with the heraldric shield, is that the texture space for it is too small. It's a lot smaller than the actual shield, so the texture gets degraded a lot. It also leaves a metal trim, which looks a bit awkward with a wooden shield. The same applies to the war shield.

I thought about editing the battle shield, but there would be some model issues there. There would most likely be a buckle placed right over my emblem.

Think I'm going to use these shield textures:

Jousting shield edits:

[Septa Scarabae]

Updated to v.1.7b, with the addition of shield textures. Also, for some reason, all my yellow team items glow yellow/gold, instead of white. Yet, they have the same alpha layers as the other shields.

See the original post of updated screenshots and download.

Yes, Mount & Blade v.730 and v.731. Oh course, you need Arena Mod.
