Thread: Weapon Remodeling

  1. #1

    Weapon Remodeling

    So, some people like the looks of one thing and others of other. Social tab allowed people to change their clothing to what they like, but we are still forced to look at whatever weapons we are using.

    So what I would like to see, is weapon remodeling. Basically, you apply another mesh and texture to already existing weapon. It could work with currently existing weapons, where you combine 2 into one. Or there could be remodeling kits having, or preferably, both.

    There would need to be limitations of what weapon you can use to model, maybe, it needs to be same weaponskill line, for example you could only apply 1hb mesh to 1hb weapon. Would keep animations working still that way.

    I believe this would need some additional coding as item database currently got different item for every item that looks different. But once done, it would possibly allow lots of other things as well, such as dying of armors. Maybe could hope with engine update?

    This time in correct place...

    This is straight out of Aieon? Anyway, the other requirement is that you have the mesh and texture you want to use, so you can combine the two weapons in your TS window. On the left the mesh one, on the right the stats one.

    If you are serious about the change you will camp and sacrifice the mesh and texture weapons.
    Please make androgynous Atroxes. (Yes, Jen, this is you main sl00b account, (since you can't tell toons from acc page but can see forum name))
    Make opifex ears more pointy in the new engine.

    Yeah, point would be, that both weapons get used in process, so, for example, I would need to camp 4 Envies to have both Rhat'Ata and Xan of Envy to look like the old Beast Envy. 2 to first build the weapons I want, and then 2 more to model them to what I want them to look like.

    Believe this would also add more people doing raids that drop weapons, be it in SL, RK or some other place that got some unique-looking weapons and their pieces.

    Also, would be possible to have "weapon kits", that are just statistic-less weapons used to make new meshes. Some of those could be shop-buyable, while others could be harder to get, meaning people would have something to do if they care about their looks.

    As much as I hate Lagfront and wouldn't use it, that sounds like the sort of non stat increasing options they could add to it for sale.

    Bumping this myself. Is there really no interest for this, or has it all gone to hack and slash with no care to looks?

    Weapons should default to a holster position when not in combat.

    I'd like to have holster/ready action as well. Of course, automatically ready weapon when entering combat.

    Its been quiet for a while, so bump! At least I still think that remodeling weapons would still be nice. And talk about new engine at times, so for FC to not forget either =)

    At least think about it at your HQ FC.

    I would love to have this, maybe add some stuff to change the sound of weapons possibly as well. Idk about u guys but the sound the peren guns make gets annoying after a while maybe make them sound more like the ofab guns or the doctor's right hand of grace...

    Damn, somebody mentioned transmog before me.

    Anyway I think that's what this thread is basically asking for, and I was thinking to myself the other day, why hasn't AO gotten that yet after 10 Years of operation? We have enough nanobots and toilerbots and such in this game to make it senseful from a game-wise perspective.

    Bump.
