Customized Yalm pics

[______________Virind]

I have no idea how this happened, but all of the sudden my Yalm had a kick ass new paint job. Somehow or other, the skin for the my yalm got switched with the texture skin for something else (not sure what).

A bug, but the coolest looking bug I've ever seen. And also, a great idea funcom could use to give us customized yalms. Just let us (through a special tool, or shop or whatever) buy new skins for our yalms. It would make the scenery more intersting. Instead of dozens of silver planes everywhere, imagine dozens of individual and customized craft.

I took some screen caps, check them out, let me know if anyone knows how this happened, and how to get it to happen again:

Looks cool, but I don't think they would offer customized yalms due to the fact that it would be one more thing we would have to load when we zone. Making it even worse on certain peoples systems.

real easy to fix. Just make a "customized skins" checkbox under the vis options.

Man, that is cool. The skin even looks appropriate to put on a Yalm, I think it might be a Warbot skin. Those look like little turbine intakes on the back

Did it stay like that after you de-equip/re-equipped it? And after you logged?

i agree. it is an excellent idea.

and the checkbox for faster loading of textures.


i already noticed with all those yalmahas
flying around that it tends to get boring and
we all know that every char is going to
end up in a yalm sooner or later...

This is done by editing the files in the database. you can strip them out and re-insert them as well giving you many many crazy images. An example is the red / blue skull head images you can place on your charicter if you know your head image and replace it with the red skull image.
