Requested Appearance changes

Unread post by Fury_US »

Just a few things that I'd like to toss in a request for- hopefully none of these things are too difficult, so I figure it's worth a shot.

First of all, and I know this is hard to see, but in the appearance changer>clothing and armor>armor parts> right or left leg, the men have an option for daggers. Since there's not really a belt or hip option for daggers like there is a sword, I'd love for the thigh daggers to be made universal, if possible? For male or female of any race?

Image

Next up is a great winter dress that suffers from the "tint strength is crap, so everything comes out muted and drab" Is there any way to increase the tint strength on this?

Image

The next one is one of the new robes that seems to be tintable on men, but is not at all for women. Can this get fixed as well? (Conversely there is another robe of the same style that women get that is tintable, but the right arm on it is absolutely horrifying if you happen to be female. I'm guessing that's *not* an easy fix).

Image

And last but not least, is this travesty. While I realize that some people might actually like this, it replaced a perfectly good dress that I really wish we had back as an option. Is there any way to get the old one back as well?

This used to be my favorite until something happened to the midsection. Please, bring the old version back. There were no necklace painted on the skin, no vest, no see through parts. It was a dress.

*bump* I just posted a similar thread, but i second this one as well.

There are really beautiful clothes, that have been either taken out of changed in a way, they have been destroyed.

Especially the model we see on Fierlith here, it's really sad we don't have it anymore. Can we please get it back?

Could the third appearance on Wren be made elf-friendly somehow?

Maybe it was a try to make it elven. But i think this is all but not elven.

If one of my toons would wear it, they would fear, anytime some guy comes and asks "How much?" :mrgreen:

Even if this model stays in, I would still want the old model back, too. Please bring it back.

I mean https://i.imgur.com/PKuZkNd.jpg can only be worn by humans. Elves get errors.

The weak tint, we'll let the media team handle that.

I'll see if I can find the old dress, but it's not like one replaced the other, usually we just add new stuff at the bottom of the list, dunno why the "old dress" was removed if it was working fine, what category was it in? Cloth?

Yes, i the old dress was useable by humans, half elves, elves and Aasimar at least. For small races I don't know.

Cloth, yes.

Ideally would like to see both versions kept as it adds variety. But actually, if the leg part on the 2nd see through version would be fixed, that'd be best. It looks very odd. Why have the skirt be connected at the bottom at all? I like the top part (I do play a Sunite!). It should be a cut & paste thing, hopefully.

This dress, for clarification:

Somehow it looks like two textures merged :D
I'll look at it. IT's really weird.

It is most likely due because the new appearance might still be using the old appearance '_N.dds' file for light and shadows or '_T.dds' file for what areas of it are tintable. Possibly both.

I'd be happy if we had both models, too. :)

I sadly only found a screen from an old server i played on before and adjusted it. But this is how the original version looks completely.
