RSI Model Manipulator

the idea of invisibility/transparancy is good Tytanya, i'd look for something like this on gloves/hats, for example someone wouldn't wear gauntlets with a dress. making a saveable image of the Rsi would take this into account that there were no gloves or outerwear at that time.

and us girls are annoyed about the gimp mask, let bandannas be for both sexes. and the tiny tiny sunglasses look like m&m's and a paddle pop stick, i dont want to wear that, who designed this stuff? another problem fixed with the Rsi model manipulator.

Like any innovative thought to be dignified, this proves to be an exceptional one.  However, there are so many things possible that can be tweaked to favor certain aspects of gameplay.  One should not presume that things can come terribly easy. 

I agree with a comment made earlier regarding MxO programmers compromising between better stats and better clothing.

You mean like the RSI capture tools being implemented next update?

I support this idea too, not so much for PVP but because I would *love* to have outfits saved as a single item in my inventory! If I'm understanding this idea, the saved outfits would function like halloween masks or disguises, right? So if I have this item in my inventory and I bind ("save" an outfit to it, I could conceivably save all those clothing items to email because I wouldn't need them to activate the "Asna mask" item, and that frees up inventory space!

If you could save multiple outfits and bind them to numerous "Asna masks" I'd have probably at least a dozen outfits saved this way, and PLENTY of inventory space to spare for farming, mishing, etc. GENIUS. WIN. TASTY GOODNESS.

DO WANT!

Considering all the cool new clothing we've had lately, it's perfectly possible to look good in PvP.

This idea....I like it very much. And considering recent developments, seems quite feasible at this point.

It's not a bad idea, but ... there still has to be the possibility to see what the opponent truly wears. That's an enourmous factor in PvP, since it influences the mode of attack and who is target.

It would have been brilliant if all clothing was unbuffed but each item had a slot for buffs. Each buff was simply a seperate program that could be coded or collected or farmed and applied to the correct form of clothing (footware, outerware etc...) This would allow for unique clothing choices dependant on person and also allow the Dev's some form of control on what buffs can be worn at the same time. (Hindsight is great, isn't it)

A 'mask' to cover up pvp clothing with the appearance of the clothing you want would do the trick though (along with a loadout scanner of course). I think an issue might be that each set item (mask) would be unique to the character which means each item would have to be dynamic which seems to contradict the static nature of The Database (TM)

I like to see it happen, if possible.

Bring back Loadout Scanners!

This idea seems even moreso feasible now that we have the mob boss 'masks' and should be implemented as soon as possible...

who bumped the thread. hm, yes still a good idea.

Indeed, the addition of gang boss RSI captures just shows that it is possible, and that if you want to hide your pvp clothing to gain an advantage, you already can do so.

How many masks are there in total? These are set models in the database, then add however many players we have adding their own 'image' to the database which would need to be changable whenever a player wants to change it. I would say that a dev tool would need to be used for creating a 'mask' model, something which we don't have access to and would take a lot of new software coding to accomplish.

It wouldn't theoretically have to be done server side, The models could be saved on your computer and then loaded to the Servers each time you activated the model therefore not requiring any sort of excessive modifications to the database. Like how /savelo is used whereby it saves what abilities you have loaded as each apparel model will have a unique Hexidecimal value which could be saved to a file on the players computer to be loaded with a command into the server to be displayed to all the other players.

The only thing I would want to see is probably an indicator when someone is using that because in the recent Vector Cup tourney it would be easy to make a clothing setup which contained normal Ballistic accuracy clothing but then under that wear Sleepwalker pants ect.

Just a note but the gang bosses are no indication at all that this is possible. Their models are already saved. The coding required to be able to /save and /load your own clothes visually never mind imprint that in a model would be alot different. That said, i'd love to see it done if possible. i have a macro for changing RP/PVP clothes (ie good looking/buffed) but thats as close as i get ): >.<

We have a lot of freedom over our in-game appearance.  Why are so many people unsatisfied?

Because to be most successful in combat, you have to wear clothing that doesn't look good together, and you ultimately don't look how you want.
