Is it possible to make them only flow sometimes? Because it's not always windy in Rhode Island (or wherever Rogue isles are)
Okay, I hate to be the wet blanket here...
The developers have made it quite clear that they only want one animated costume feature per character: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...0&postcount=50

This is why Ghost Widow is the only character in the game (so far) to have animated hair. I suspect Desmonda will show up with animated hair as well. This is also why back options lets you select between capes, tailcoats, and wings, as well as why trench-coats, waist-capes (on widows I think), and magic robes turns back options off. |
I actually tested this before the break. Using similar NPC models with different number of cape FX systems. Here are the results: * 100 NPCs - 0 capes = 48% loss in frame rate * 100 NPCs - 1 cape = 75% loss in frame rate * 100 NPCs - 3 capes = 92% loss in frame rate So yes, there is a reason that we don't want players loading themselves down with multiple cape systems. |
Basically, if you want flowing headbands, that's fine. But, under the current engine limitations, you'll have to give up trenchcoats, capes, wings, tailcoats, waist-capes, and robes. In all fairness though, most players who have made a ninja probably don't care about the other costume options, and would be gladly willing to make the sacrifice for another animation option.
It's pretty much the same reason Golden Girl doesn't have animated hair.
I guess I get it..just sucks though. Adding another flowing part would ruin the game?

That would be awesome! But after seeing all the technical talk, It makes me sad that it's most likely not going to happen. Besides, I would never give up my wings ;P
I'm gonna be honest. Only reason this popped up for me is because I got afro samurai on dvd today lol.

And even then... have you actually looked at Ghost Widow's hair? It's not that great when examined close-up =/

In the next update I would really like to see better headbands. That flow in the wind like your cape. Would this really be that hard to do? Just wondering. I mean how many people have made a ninja character and wanted to add a good head band to go with it? I did. I still do. Hopefully this is possible.
