Custom textures/drawings on clothes...

[CodeCave 0]

That would be a great customizing option...

It could be implemented in many different ways...

It also reduces the need for to many different clothes...

Cool idea in Theory ... but it means that the models in the game need to support this. It also means that these needs to be transferred to all clients when you connect to the server and needs to be streamed when a player connects.

If the people making the custom skins don't know how to optomise the the textures, then there could be problems there. If they don't know how to do Specular, Normal, and Bump maps ... all the textures will look flat and non-3d.

Finally, server admins will not have control on what the models look like on their servers ... and based on previous experiences (Quake 2, etc) ... you'll end up with everyone running naked because they think it is funny.

I for one hope this does not get added ... just my opinion though.

I like the suggestion, this way you can make something completely of your own.

Though i do think this requires some heavy mods in the engine and the ingame tools to customize....

Therefore the 'hundreds combinations' of clothes Rocket spoke about in some earlier interviews are implemented.

stuff like that doesnt require much resources...

but it will add definetly some security flaws...

editing the actual texture layer should be enough...

well let the player only be able to edit some parts of the clothing...

or just let the player edit it if he founds some tools for that ingame...

I don't think this would fit in DayZ. I mean, it's a zombie apokalipse not Sims 3.

Dot, dot, dot.

According to all the things Rocket has said, I can pretty safely say that this is not going to happen.

He wants the Standalone to work like an MMO; Most things being server-side, with VERY little ability to customize the client yourself. (And if you do, you're obviously up for a ban.)

Edit; Though I'm not saying your suggestion is bad. Moddability is nice, but not really something the DayZ is moving towards.

I don't like it, but not for the technical reasons. It detracts from gameplay; finding camouflaged clothing will be worthless, since you can do it yourself. Every article of clothing with any practical use the default spawn doesn't have should be maddeningly dangerous and difficult to find.

Rocket Said it is Not going to Happen, because of The TTP.

The Time to Penis

=> everyone and their mums will be drawing dicks at their clothing.

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

Just because your mum draws dicks on all her clothes doesn't mean everyone would. :P

I don't think custom textures for entire outfits are a good idea. But allowing each player a .PNG with their own emblem would allow for recognition at a glance.

If it was an armband or scarf, or even just a patch, it would be simple enough that anyone would be able to figure it out.

"Time to penis" could be a consequence of this, but if you want a cock to be how people remember you, so be it.

It would only be a small badge anyway, so it'd be a tiny little cock at best.

Hello there

I like the flag and face customisation already in A2 I hope it's kept in.
