Color Customization

So will the color system be like how it is for our auras, or will it be different?

I guess the point I'm getting at is if I color a fire or electricity blast power black, will it show up as black in some form, or be almost transparent like with our aura system?

That one concern aside, the whole thing seems to be shaping up quite awesomely. Great job

This has been covered earlier in the thread.

Different powers have different palettes. Some will offer either bright or dark palettes. The bright palettes work like auras and don't include black/dark colors. The dark palettes work differently than auras, in which dark colors show up visibly. Not all powersets have both palette options (additionally, some don't need them).

To be honest, I would not be surprised to see a few "yellow snow" characters when this issue rolls out. At least until the novelty wears off. Kinda like Spore and those "willy-creatures". I'm sure some of those are still around, but I bet quite a few were made just for the lulz and forgotten about.

Do any of yall remember if during the last Closed Beta could anyone/everyone log into test and access the Character Creator even though they couldn't enter the game zones?

I know I'm not getting into Closed Beta but I wanna try this new costume creator so so so bad.

So, does this mean I have to keep up my agreement with the devs if they gave us power customization? My firstborn won't be happy about this.

Some of the powersets, particularly Ice Melee and Fire Melee, have a bit of 'weapon customization' built into them -- you can, for example, use the default animation and colors for Fire Sword Circle, make it tintable as Fire Scimitar, or as Greater Fire Sword -- where the power still animates as Fire Sword Circle, but uses the 'weapon' from Greater Fire Sword (which is also tintable).

[/ QUOTE ]

This makes me wonder if they'll add other weapon options to those sets - say, take the model of the various broadswords we have and make them translucent. Those could all be used as customizations of ice/fire sword. You could do something similar with Stone Hammer. That would be awesome (probably not in I16, though).

BaB while you're looking in on this topic.

Curiously just wondering how much extra work it would take to be able to select the projectile type as well as the colour of a power?

Would love to be able to select Proton Volley style (the three round balls of energy) projectiles for an energy blaster, colour them pink and go all Danmaku on the enemies.

[/ QUOTE ]
Given that alternate animations for Martial Arts and Superstrength are included in Issue 16 something of the sort is possible. But before that, he'd have to tweak the animation so that it had the same animation time as the animation it's replacing. So it would be more complicated and have to be done on a more one-power-at-a-time basis.

[/ QUOTE ]

This wouldn't be changing the animation, that would still remain the same, I'm talking about merely replacing the type of projectile used, sniper blast would still use sniper blast's animation BUT instead of it firing a beam of concentrated energy, it would fire the same projectiles as Proton volley.

[/ QUOTE ]
But the blast itself is part of the animation I think ? Or AN animation.

[/ QUOTE ]

Projectiles are separate from character animations, but my understanding is that at the moment the system "customizes" the entire package of animation, FX, and projectiles. So (and of course this could change at any time) if I understand correctly for BaB to give us animation A and B, and projectile C and D, he would basically have to give us option 1 (A&C), option 2 (A&D), option 3 (B&C), and option 4 (B&D). I suspect that if they wanted to give the players significant independent options in this area, they would probably strongly consider changing the tech to make the two choices independent (which I think is doable, but more work than the change that I16 incorporates).

Did you verify the driver's soul was still in his or her possession without any liens on it?

On a somewhat unrelated note, I just want to take a second to thank you guys for being so positive and excited about this feature that's consumed so much of my life for so long. It's been a very long haul and tremendous amount of work from many people on the team. Your excitement about this feature is making it so much easier for me to continue to be excited about it, and that's making it a lot nicer to get through the final stretches of finishing this issue up and into your hands. I can't speak for the other people who've done a tremendous amount of work on this feature as well, but for me personally...it's a huge deal.

The handful of non-glowing responses I've seen have been very reasonable and more in the realm of disappointed but still understanding. For that I'm exceedingly grateful.

So thanks for staying positive and constructive, it makes reading the forums so much easier and working on this game so much more rewarding.

It doesnt have to be Issue 16, I would just like to know for like the future.
