All Things Art: NPC Conversions

Iirc, one of the problems they had with weapon customization was that they couldn't change the effect, just the thing you held in your hand and the emanation point of the flame. So it would always be a muzzle flash and always be ratatatatat.

Now they have effect customization as well, so in theory it should be possible to add another animation set where the effects go pyewpyewpyew instead, which would allow your Resistance rifles to go pyewpyewpyew. On the other hand, that would on the other hand mean that you could have the assault rifle go pyewpyewpyew as well instead of ratatatatat, that would be on the order of giant robot gloves clipping with the trenchcoat sleeves wrong, and hence impossible.

Yes, I've not had my coffee yet.

Oh man, seconding the Hellion and Vahz request.

Agreed. I don't necessarily want the gun attached to them, but the gloves themselves are very cool.

Ok, long list;

-Vanguard Back Details

-The PROPER PPD gloves, not the fake, 'never used by ANY NPC of that faction, ever' things we have now;


- Legacy Chain parts

-The CoT heavier gauntlets


-Two tone variant of the IDF gloves that only has the glove colour and the glow colour i.e. So I can have Metal gloves with a red glow;


-Victoria Arm blades



That's all I got for now. Still image hunting.

Come to think of it, can we have those sleeves for use with our jackets and/or robes, too?

Seconded on the Legacy Chain parts as well. My male Carnie-of-Light would be very happy to have at least the shoulders and ideally the chest detail(s), either the simple neck chain the Legacy Chain minions have or the neck-chain-plus-breastplate thing the lieutenants and bosses have. Ideally it'd be usable with robes, jackets, and plain tights, as the Carnie NPCs that use it demonstrate, even if the chest details end up being male-only.

Oh, and how about the Circle of Thorns short cape? Y'know, this guy:



Maybe the waist cape/skirt thing too, though of course we players would have to be locked out of using both at once.

Lastly, going back to male Praetorian Carnies, can we please have the Warrior belt proliferated to "top" types that aren't robes? Carter Mordesen uses it with the Wedding Tux, and I want to be able to do that too. I'm also imagining it with plain old tights tops, it'd look great there...

I'd like to see ripped pants and the Outcast chest symbols ... a few of my many alts have their roots in that group and it would be awfully fun to have an "official" Outcast costume.

EDIT: Plus, put me down for the Ouroboros Menders costume parts!


American Dawg, Starblaze, Neanderthal Joe, Shining Dawn, Tokamak Dragon, Stinger Incarnate, Burning Tyger, Dover Tornado, Big Roach, Dark Paladin, Archmage Wylde, Kings Row Hornet, Prancing Deer
Avogadro, Science Lord
Edgar Nightcraft, Doc Cicada, Chupa Macabre, Dr Forchtenstein, Blood Shrew

Yes, that too. My three Mender characters would like that a lot.

Something like this! Presenting: less-fugly Frostfire!

Much better than normal Frostfire.

Edit: Fine, here's old Frostfire under the same graphics settings as "new" Frostfire. The only improvement that makes is that his particle effects hide some of his hideousness.
SECOND! that is a MUCH better looking Frostfire.

also, the arachnoid pieces. and Devouring earth pieces please. razorvines and bedrocks too XD.

also, dont Wyvern have quivers? yes. arent quivers probably the easiest backpiece to make? yes, especially since they exist already. when did back options happen for players? a long time ago [capes and wing actually... could have had 'backpacks' then, right? ] i really hope quivers aren't only being held off so they can be in some medieval pack for moneys, especially since that is THE MOST requested back piece and has been since we could shoot arrows :P.... and i hope if it is held off for profit and we only get one quiver model on top of that... i would be very angry. XP

anywho... banished pantheon pieces costumes/weapons would be lovely. especially the masks as shield options.

also, i would ADORE the chainmail skirt my zombie wears.

Knives of Artemis EVERYTHING.

tuatha horns, hands, feet, fur.

minotaur loincloth.

hellfrost and behemoth parts. even the non-flapping wings and funny loincloths.

carnival strongman helmets and codpiece-belts. carnival corsets.

cimeroran foot wear and forearm wear. also, the ability to divide the toga into separate tops and skirts for all body types, in addition to the unique top one piece it is now. and everyone longs for the sybil outfits and would gladly reduce their own performance to wear them, and if they do get ported i would really prefer for something similar to be added for males. I have several that could benefit from either the long loincloth or the arm scarf, or the split-toga-top.




annnddd everything Frozen_Fire said in post #344 in this thread.

what would be awesome is to have everything of these tied to badges pertaining to the NPC or group.

howcome the tsoo have some long skirts, and the MM pet has long skirts still? PLEASE DONT CHANGE THAT... but they seem to look great and perform emotes and attacks and endure ragdoll physics just fine XD

I would like to put up my request here that female character models be given the tattooed bodies some of the female members have in the new Dark Astoria (Presently in beta as of this writing).
If possible I would also like to see the a glowing version of the Yakuza tattoos both male and female incarnate Tsoo enemies have, I don't care of they're color tintable from the default colors or not, they are beautiful as they are.

may we also get the spears some of their staff fighters wield? and maybe the [spoiler]'s Lampost Staff as well? I really liked that.

David I don't know if there are much plans to expand on the supergroup base system and I am unsure of where is the best place to post this but I would like know if there can be another thread similar to this one only other than being non-player costume requests being a thread for non-player elements or items for request for the base editor system. I do like the base editor I have spent weeks where I spent hours upon hours making different rooms.

I would also like to see the base system updated to have Telepads for the new zones I would like to see the base plots updated to allow for more Telepads.


That said I have some screen shot for request should I post the here or will there be another thread.

So in this thread, let's talk specifically about the possibility of reaching back into the COH archives and getting you those options. IF we decided to do that, what would be your top choices? Also, if given the choice, would you consider this a priority over, say, brand new costume sets, 'lost' costume pieces, and other alternatives? Feel free to weigh in.

*********************************
1. Costume pieces similar to what some of the signature heroes/villains have. IE: a belt like Statesman, not exactly like it something similiar where we can have a symbol on it, like the eagle on his belt.

2. Costume pieces similar like NPCs have. IE: Malta pieces, Knives of Artemis, and Nemesis. Example, back mounted sword sheaths for sword using heroes/villains.

3. NPC Costumes similar to PPD hard suits and Crey's heavy armored units for example.


Current active characters: Dragon Maiden (50+3 Brute SS/WP/PM), Black Widow Maiden (50+1 Night Widow), Catayclasmic Ariel (50 lvl Defender - Kin/DP), Quantumshock (50 lvl Elect/Energy/Energy), American's Defender (38 lvl Tanker - SD/Mace), Spider-Maiden (15 lvl Corruptor - RB/PD) & Siren Shrike (15 lvl Defender - Sonic/Sonic). My entire stable.

hi! i'd like to request the following items to be ported to players:

Director 11's harness/belt w/pouches:


Director 11 with belt harness w pouches by babydavidj, on Flickr

Knives of vengence: scaly body/skin for all three body types, their shoulder pouch details, the "backpack and pouches and trinkets on harness" *chest detail* that can be used with wings.


knives of vengence details by babydavidj, on Flickr

and Tielekku's Hair and crown. if they are one detail, that's fine with me. but i want it. it's better than most of the hair options we have. i'd be fine if males have it also as a long hair option. it's nice. and her belt. :P [see i didnt ask for her clothes? ]


tielekku's hair by babydavidj, on Flickr


and again i request banished pantheon costume pieces for males [tribal pieces], and females for that matter. zombie pet chainmail skirt. ummmm and the things i asked in my previous post.... XD

thanks!


:EDIT:
would this be the place to ask for the port of the Barbarian female Bikini to Male/Huge body types? I like the leather look, and it would be a nice alternative to "bare", and should be an easy tweak as it's a tight skin option. [need more bottoms with skin for males!!!]

Thanks! Dink Rocks!

Well, with new Dark Astoria is plenty to request here:

Tsoo:
Tattoos (Specially for female, wanting tattoo shoulders for ages), where tattoos are pretinted in black, and the colour is for the corset. Comes with glow and non-glow options.
Belt
Conical hat as detail 1, so it can be used with different hairstyles, like the new female Tsoo does.

Banished Pantheon:
Runes aura

Knives of Vengeance:
Belt, shoulder pouches, backpack, boots with attached knive, gloves, googles...

Talons of Vengeance:
Hood with hair, waistcape, metallic corset, face war paint, scales body, talon metallic boots, wrapped gloves, metallic bracers, gorgons hairstyle (same as Tielekku's), sword...

Please! Make a big Dark Astoria costume bundle with most of those pieces.
They are awesome.

So I noticed something odd:



I don't think this hair, seen here on Grant Creston but also appearing on the ghost in the DA intro mission, is available in the tailor. Why is this? It's like the Parted hair we already have, but on the other side and nicer. I'd like it please.

Maybe we could just say "warworks ACU and vicky costumes please?"



You've wanted more control and now you have it.

I only have one request I haven't seen covered.

I want the Sky Raiders' machete as an option for Broadsword characters, so I don't have to pretend that the Tsoo "katana" is a machete anymore.

KoA swords would be nice too.

I'd also like a 2 handed medieval-style sword for Katana characters. Like a hand and a half sword, commonly named for a person who was born out of wedlock (since the profanity filter won't let me say what that style of sword is called)

Also can be heard in practically every episode of South Park.

"They killed Kenny"
"You (style of sword that I would like)!"

See what Angelxman81 said above? That stuff. I've got a few things to add to the list:

Tsoo: The Naginata staff they carry. Second on the glowing tattooes and their female top. Both a tattoo'd version of the top female corset and a non-tattoo'd.

Knives of Vengeance: Their back capes. Not just the bigger loincloth like ones used by the bosses, but the short echelon pattern back only ones used by their lieutenants. And, y'know, their goggles, harnesses, belts, holsters, etc.

Talons of Vengeance: Seconding the request for their corset/cuirass tops. Also that long hair used by their snake women (like the Gorgon in First Ward).

Also, I want the [SPOILERS]'s lantern staff.

Hum, has anyone mentioned the Crey agent earpieces yet? And making sure they're usable with sunglasses?

Another couple of pieces I'd love converted over to players I noticed today: the tattoos, skirt, and shoes on the Merit Vendor in Croatoa:



How is she even getting those on a Top with Skin, anyways? O.o
