Jay's Costume Bug Fix Thread

Jay asked me to post this for him, take it away, Jay:

Howdy I’m Jay. I am one of the character artist here at Cryptic. The other artist that works on characters is Ian. We make will be making all of the new costume options and characters that you will see in up coming issues.

The purpose of this thread is to fix bugs and only bugs. If you want to make a request, there is a thread for that called "Jay's Costume Request Thread".

Bugs posted here will be addressed in a future update/issue, unless it’s a critical bug.

Your happiness is our priority; that’s right you, the guy or girl reading this. I see many people with 3000+ posts; I saw some guy the other day that had 10,000+ posts, that’s dedication. To say thank you I want to make sure that you look awesome while you play your game.

I will be looking at this thread every chance I get. There is no middle man here, everything you post will be read by the costume guys (Me and Ian). I want you to be happy with all of the characters you create. We may not respond but know that we are reading this thread. Please understand that not every bug will be addressed but we will make our best effort to fix what needs fixing. There are hundreds of costume pieces and that means millions of combinations. Not every piece will fit with another. So if a costume piece clips with another; please point it out, but it might be that way to fit with 20 other pieces. Also there is no need for quoting more than one person just fills unneeded space, it also make reading though all these posts more of a pain.

When posting, please be polite and to the point. The shorter the post the better, plus there is a better chance of the bug being addressed. Screenshots, Screenshots, Screenshots, they are very helpful in illustrating your point.

Here is example 1: The skirts on the female are missing all their textures. Jay is sexy. (Screenshot of skirt missing textures)

Here is example 2: The zombie feet on the huge are screwed up, but they are fine on the male and female. Jay is sexy. (Screenshot of zombie feet screwed up)

Here is an example how NOT to do post:

*scream* OMG I made a guy like 10 years ago and he is totally in the crapper now, make him work and give me free stuff. BTW all the devs suck and Jay is not sexy. *panic ensues* (No Screenshot)

Djeannie is a member that has made some really nice posts that I have used; you may look to her/him for a solid post. OK, have at it.

Hi Jay!

A few places where the Head seems to clip with the hair/hat on Huge and Male heads can be seen here: Assorted Head Clipping

Specifically, Huge->Head->Hats->Do-Rag and Stocking Cap, Male->Head->Standard->Spikey, and Male->Head->Hats->Swabby. These screenshots were all taken with no changes made to the Shape Sliders.

And of course, Jay is Sexy.

EDIT: Woo! First post after a Redname!

I've also seen head/hair clipping issues with some -- but, oddly, not all -- female characters using the Shag hairstyle. It comes out looking like the character has a bald spot on the very top of the head. I don't know if Jay has access to live-server character configurations or not, but just in case:

My girlfriend's character, Butane Girl (on Virtue) has this problem with her first costume.

My character, Schadenfraulein (on... actually, every server ) doesn't have this problem at all, despite having the same hairstyle (Shag) and face (Young Face 9).

Going to be hard to get a screenshot of this, but with the toga on a Huge body type, the rear end clips through while running. Especially noticeable when the rear end is a different color from the toga.

Edit: posted in the wrong thread.

My only bug is that one of my characters is having clipping issues from the back with a male jacket (military?). It's the same clipping I see with Family thugs who are sitting on the docks in Nerva.

I do not have a picture, but during CoV beta there was a costume piece for Huge (not normal size for whatever reason), that is not in the game. The peice I am talking about was a feather like shoulder thing that wrapped around the entire shoulders (kinda like football pads). I miss having that option.

Neat, thanks Jay!

I've been having a problem that you're all probably sick of hearing about >.> While I7 was on test, I noticed that my brooch/mantle was not showing up at all when I used Armored Pads (my main costume piece), no matter what kind of Brooch I picked. My cape was still there, however.

While I7 was on test, my I6 live character's brooch still showed up, and if I changed my Test character's body piece to anything other than Armored Pads, the brooch and mantle would instantly show up. Now that I7 is live, neither character has a visible Brooch.

Before I7

After I7

EDIT: Yes I understand that it is a freaking tiny little thing on my chest that you can barely see, but it was always my favorite part of my cape. >.>

EDIT 2: Forgot the most important part. Jay and Ian are teh seksi.

On that note, Boots often clip through the 'Slacks' pants on Males while running or standing in a combat-ready pose. I'll try and get a screenshot of this for you Jay.

Definitely want to call attention to this one. Also an issue with the backwards baseball cap on men as well.

Also Cricket said in PM she was going to check on what happened to the Men's Pants Mesh pattern that vanished from COV Beta. Would love to get that back to accompany the mesh-pattern for chests.

Thanks!

Ok, I have one. (Sadly no screenshot, but it's easy to see)

On a Male figure, with the Long hair wearing the Biker Jacket (Open) the hair has a pretty severe clipping issue with the collar of the jacket, specifically in the back (It looks fine from the front). Jay is sexy. Ian is also.

Not quite sure if this is a bug or not, but I noticed that when you choose "Full Masks" the "Victory Laurel" appears under "Detail 2" (eyes) rather than "Detail 1" (hats.) Seeing as the Victory Laurel is part of your hair under other options, it seems that this was catagorized incorrectly for "Full Masks."

Oh, and Jay is sexy. (The check is in the mail, right?)

<ul type="square">[*]IMPORTANT! Lower Body/Tight Tech Crey bottoms selection is missing for Male and Huge.[*]Wings is missing under the Saxon and Viking helmets for Females. [*] BIG ONE HERE - Plain Short Skirt has a Pull down for patterns and the ability to select two colors, but nothing happens when you use them.[*] Bottom/Tech Wired is listed twice for females.[*]Long hair such as "Glam" still clips through the back of the jackets and robes.[*]Glam hair does something ugly on the shoulders, especially through the right shoulder. Yes, looks like it's going through her shoulder.[*]V-Belt - The V in the back is neat, but only useful if you are using the same top and bottom It looks darned ugly if you are using a different bottom. Please make two V Belt patterns available.[*]Clipping at the bottom of the Motorcyle Pants, noticible if you have different color boots.[*]Some of the Skulls shoulder pieces break up when worn by a Huge body type.[/list]That's all I can think of for now. I'll come back later if I thnk of more.

Thanks, Jay. When are you getting your own Red Name ?

Just going to put here about the Chest emblems doing some kind of weird Anti-aliased outline effect when used with some upper body costume parts. This gives a "jaggy" outlines like they were poorly cropped in PhotoShop. With this effect I have noticed a sort of transparency when used with Buckled Leather. In these edges you will be able to see through your character.

In addition, my mantle and broach disappear when I use the leather pads top.

Sorry man, I can't tell you that you are sexy, it is just not me. But you ARE doing a fantastic job.

The skirts are looking so much better, but you still can't put any designs on them like the originals. Please pretty please can we have our design options back for the skirts?


 

Posted

I don't know if this is by design or a bug but I have a costume with cirlces as the pattern on every part and now I can't get the circles on the skirt, so she has circles everywhere except on the skirt and it looks pretty lame. The skirts can only have a solid color now and I don't like it! She's able to keep the costume if I make no changes, but if I make one change anywhere on her, the skirt will default to a non pattern version.

On Huge characters, the Hammer &amp; Sickle Chest Detail has a small bar of colour near the bottom: Screenie

This does not appear on Male or Female.

Female -&gt; Upper Body -&gt; Tops with Skin -&gt; Jungle

It's been like that since the game was released. If it could just go all the way around that would be awesome.

Jay is so incredibly sexy.

I recently noticed when modifiing my character at the tailor (female), that there is no Young Face 12 listed. (I think it was 12). The list just jumps strait from 11 to 13. Jay is sexy.

Hey. Not sure if this belongs in the Bug Fix or the Request Thread, but.. Here goes.

For the superhero colors would it be possible to choose whether the superhero logo goes either on the chest or on the jacket?

Thanks, and... Jay is sexy. *cough*

Here is another one. On a female character, if you are using one of the bulky tops (shirts, jackets, etc), the chest decal appears on the left side of her chest. It looks fine unless you increase breast size. If you set the slider higher then the default (middle) position, the decal dissapears into her. Jay is still sexy.

The classic Heroic Heads are missing. This is especially noticable on the Male characters.

The old pants had two places for patterns, the new pants only have one. This is a difference, but it is unsure if it is a bug.

Do the new-revised skirts allow patterns?

This one has been bugging me for a while, but still liveable.

Any long haired.... uh.... hair, used in conjunction with the Reaper Detail2 costume peice, clips. Also, I seems on some of my characters (nearly everyone of them wears the Reaper, I love it), whenever they're in combat mode or running, the front of their face pops out of the Reaper.

P.S. The Reaper mixed with the capes is sexy, so are Jay and Ian.


To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine the light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be....


I'm sorry what was that, I couldn't hear you over my TRAGIC PAST!!

Can't really put a screenshot in here, however the 'bug' is with the torso options for upper bodies with a single robotic arm. While new tops have been added to the game for 'normal' torsos, most still aren't available to torsos with only a single robotic arm.

There are two Face 1's! I'm guessing that one of them doesn't exist at all in the creator anymore, only for people who still have it.
In any case, they're very different.

Face 1 (hero original)
Face 1 (villain original)

As you can see, they're very different.

And Jay is sexy. *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*

I've noticed this, too! In fact, this outline effect seems to happen anytime there's a transparency effect applied...for instance, under stealth or if you spin the camera around and zoom way in.

Here's the glitch under Shadow Fall

And Jay? Looking good. Dead sexy.
