That sounds really cool. For the longest time Ive wanted to learn how to make playertypes and If I ever did, elementals would be the first thing id try. I'm looking for more different enemy mobs for my damn RPG thats been WIP for years and that is why I voiced interest in your playertypes.
Only problem with me learning how to make playertypes is that I use Milkshape and have no idea how to save several animations onto one model (not to mention rigging and coding)
Id love to see your elementals when they come out.
I can't help you much there, I haven't used Milkshape in ages (IIRC, I switched to Blender because I didn't like the look of Milkshape's animation system).
I could help you with the coding though; It's not too hard really.
Id say white would fit 'Energy' best.
I would use white as a highlight/detail color, otherwise they would look too much like the Ice elementals.
I picture fire elementals to be mostly orange with red, yellow, and while highlights. And fire particle effects. ;)
You could make them yellow, for lightning
I could use yellow as the highlight color, yeah. I want to see how white looks first, though.
