Transparency Setting for Costume Parts

What I would like to have is an option to set the visibility level for individual costume pieces ( from 0 ( completely transparent) to 100 ( fully visible) ).

Concept:



As an example, I'd like the white costume pieces to be visible on this toon, and the black to be invisible. It would be even better if this setting could be extended to either primary or secondary colors, instead of just the entire costume piece.

I'm aware this would definitely have implications for pvp, so there would have to be code to toggle this feature off in pvp zones.

Also, why the heck would this be an issue in PvP? They still have a big red glowy name over there head, they still have the same hitbox. If it really was an issue for someone, they could even keybind a key to auto-target players to make sure tab doesnt do what it usually does and select everything and anything other than the one you want, heh.

I agree that setting transparency levels would be a great option for costumes; just check out HeroMachine and you'll see how useful it is.

I think that for the specific effect you want, it may be better to define certain costume parts as maintaining their 'solidity' while stealthed or invisible. That would prevent exploits so no one gets free stealth out of the deal

There used to be the Developers Debuggerific colour choice for transparency.

if was picking some green/purple combination that made the whole part all transparent, but alas they removed it. I've alwyas fancied doing something like this concept with characters, so would definately support it.

I dont think PvP would be an issue either, for the above reasons, but if it was, make the transparency not work in PvP.

I've always been a fan of making our body-parts invisible, and possibly replacing them with auras, either per costume piece or with just a full-body aura. It would look really cool.

Very good idea. Well, assuming you mean not only making your pants invisible but also the stuff they're covering, 'cause I really don't want to see what's inside them ^_^

This is an excellent idea. I personally have several characters that would love to do
