Hoods UP(Option)

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

Why can't hats just not be rendered while the hood is up? Or more simple, just don't allow the hood to be put up when a hat is on.

 

I don't know much about the Arma 2 engine, but the notion that hoods are impossible to implement due to engine limitations seems incredibly unlikely. No doubt it'd take a fair bit of work (in which case fair enough, it's not like hoods are a deal breaker - especially in alpha) but I find it unlikely that it's impossible.

 

Hats, gas masks, respirators, glasses, clown masks. I'm no game designer, but they didn't exactly make it easier for themselves.

As Someone who Works with Making 3D Models And Clothing Designs I Do Admit it Does Take Effort on the Developers Part But it isn't That Much Harder than That of Making any other New Headwear

Balaclava or Gasmask Clipping Can Be Resolved by Not allowing Certain Couplings

Certain Hats and things Can Be Excluded Perhaps As How you Can no Longer Wear the Respirator with the Balistic Helmet For instance

But so Far the ingame Items Present it Doesn't Appear that Clipping is Something they Are Concerned Breaks Immersion

As Most People you See in Gasmask or PayDayMasks They Often Have Hats Clipping through them as Most of the Face Wear is Incompatibly Clipping through Almost if not all of the Hats at the Moment

And Motorcycle Helmets With Sunglasses Stabbed through the Visor

Sooner or Later they Will Need to Fix it For all Items But a Hood Should only Clip As Bad as Most in Game Head Wear Does Already

As someone who doesn't work with any of that stuff I can only refer you to the statements made by the devs of Dayz (people who does work with that sort of stuff).

I Understand I Just Was Meerly trying to Convey An Opinion From Someone Else who Makes GameModels/3D Models that While it Might Be Work All Aspects of Making anything Takes Work

I Understand it Might Not be a Main Focus Just Expressing that it is Doable and Plausable and Perhaps If People Were Interested they Might Impliment By Release

This Thread Was Not About if it is Hard to Make But If Players Are Interested To Perhaps Show Support And Maybe We Could Get Hoods Added

But honestly i feel that it is do-able

And has been done before in titles ^_^

 

Its definitely do-able, saying no just because of some possible clipping that needs to be fixed sounds like a really cheap excuse. I can think of several ways to do it and there are plenty of ways to model the hood so that it can fit over things like radar or baseball caps or the balaclava, and other headgear like helmets and cowboy hats must be un-equipped first to solve the clipping issues. Which may just require a little artistic license to make the hoods slightly larger than they really are (especially on jackets like the Gorka).

Hello there

Im sure it is doable, but to get it working correctly may not justify the cost or cycle overheads and pure pain in the assness that would ensue from doing it vs the reward of hoodies.

They could do it with "Parka's" as any 70s child will tell you those hoods didnt move much with the head especially with the cheap versions me and my mates mums and dads could afford. Literally tunnel vision.

It'd be a pain in the ass. My insight comes from Arma 3 and the stuff I've done there, so it might be different. There's a "head" selection that basically skins stuff to the head (great for hats because obviously there are no joints on the head to get complicated with as they bend, which is why hats are the easiest thing to make in A3), but I don't think there's anything to rig where the neck meets the torso and have that twist around without making a screwy result.

Of course, we do have the diver suit which has that hood, so maybe I'm just bad at modding. xD
