New Dyeing System
« on: August 15, 2012, 03:17:38 PM »
Sweet baby Jesus, this is amazing. Can you, like, put this in places like Laura's Fashion in Dementlieu? Please, it is so much better than the mannequins. I will love you forever, Søren, and we will walk on the beach into the sunset.

Holy balls. This is great. I'll take screenshots to show people so everyone doesn't need to make new characters to check it out

Added it temporarily to Laura's fashion as part of a fun little event. Having it permanently there would make me a happy panda.

I'm not sure if I'm using this wrong or if it's a bug, but hitting "next" takes me to to leather and metal dye, as well as progressing the colour palette. I'm assuming that it's only supposed to progress the colour palette.












I experimented several times with this, the bug doesn't always happen. I'm not sure what triggers it. Also, when I click on a colour and go to select a colour slot, it switches the option to leather or metal.

Another thing that might be useful to include is an option to select a specific colour.



Edit:
After a bit of experimentation, it looks no matter what the text says, it actually is targeting the correct piece to dye.

Awesome device and greatly time-saving. I'd love to see this in place more generally.

Words really cannot express the amount of talent, time and effort put in the server by Soren and other developers, DMs and players.

Thank you so much! You are one amazing community, people.

Thanks all.

The reason for some inconsistencies is most likely because of a NWN limitation with it's token system - meaning several instances of the same conversations can interfere. I was hoping it would be a very limited issues, but if it turns out to happen more often, I'll look in to ways to overcome it.

I've also wondered how lag-sensitive the system is - any experiences on that yet?

Well, since the spirits are so high - this is a little fun gimmick I did with the same code I did for the dyeing:




Mind you, this isn't something we'll start use in game - that will cause lag. But fun to toy with.
