Title: New Player model selection (in mp ui) Post by: fromhell on July 05, 2010, 04:03:19 AM Instead of listing all the models available at once, maybe brief categorization sohuld be done to save the load of them:
Sex > Model > Skin You pick the sex first(male/female/neuter), then the model, then the skin to use. it'd probably be arranged into 3 columns. Toggle switches to display icons or the model could also be done to save on the loading. Maybe load a 'bio.txt" or "info.txt" from the model folder with information about the model too so we can have useless-but-interesting backstories in the game!! OR perhaps... keyword files for each skin(i.e. models/players/fred/keyword_blue.txt) and a little search box that lets you type where you want to go or something stupid like that, so typing in 'devil girl' would get you Dark, Hellchick, RX78 and typing "crap" would get you commander wolf, major and typing in "chinese" would get you kyonshi, xaero, etc and they would only load if there is an icon file available for it Title: Re: New Player model selection (in mp ui) Post by: Gig on July 05, 2010, 04:08:24 AM Male/Female/Unknown?
Title: Re: New Player model selection (in mp ui) Post by: fromhell on July 05, 2010, 04:08:49 AM The technical term for it is "neuter" and sorry there's also no support for shemales and ladyboys.
Title: Re: New Player model selection (in mp ui) Post by: Gig on July 05, 2010, 04:20:35 AM Then Male/Female/Neuter/Unknown (to separate "real" neuters from those who simply do not have the sex indication file).
Question: how to manage the situation where different skins for the same model have different sex? For example, a male skin and a robot skin sharing the same 3d model. Anyway, I don't feel a great need for this...
