Some more wearable VFXs : What do YOU want?

[Maragrouf]

Hello there, dear Misted.
So, as some of you know : I've worked on some hats and masks which were added last Hak Update months ago, and I've been working on a second batch of Hats and other face accessories to further expand the customisation of our dolls Characters. Currently, I have two (three, if I count one of the recolors) fully done Face accessories, and I already have a couple of hats idea/suggestions on my To-Do List. But if this next Hak Update is to be the last one ever, I'd like as well offer what the people want!

First of all, though. I'm no Dev. Nothing I have done so far and will do next is 100% going to be added, as it all needs to be approved by the Dev Team as a whole anyway.
Secondly : Please do keep in mind that I'm doing all that 3D Modelling work ON THE SIDE, and pretty much for free (not that I'm expecting anyone to pay for it either). So I'll be thankful if you could keep things tame enough for me to be able to work through the most of it BEFORE the Hak Update.

Now for the core of this thread : What would you want me to work on? What kind of head accessories (non-dyeable, in priority) would you like to see added? It can be anything from hats, to masks, to scarves and even... Horns (wink wink, Tief Gang and other freaks), but erm... Keep in mind that the most extravagent stuff won't be approved, so try to ask for "Gothic Horror friendly" stuff and/or things that won't be out of place in most of the server.

Thanks for your time!

A bronze mask in keeping with the ceremonial dress of Gorm, for dwarves
Half-masks/bandanas that cover the mouth, highwayman style

For a while I've dreamed of having more hats like the tricorne and bandana in the game, especially of the wide-brimmed variety.

this might be hell to make look right, given the variation of eye position and head size...

but a cloth over the eyes (a blindfold) would be very nice
there's a single blindfolded model for male humans so
having something for everyone would be nice

it could just be a black or white band of cloth around the head (or both!)

This is the best example I could find, since 'cloth over eyes' is actually useless to look up

but i imagine it could be much simpler than this

Hoods. I know of only one VFX hood at the moment, but I am somewhat surprised we have multiple hood models that are bound to helmet appearances and in turn don't allow for player faces to be visible, while VFX hoods would neatly side-step that issue. I wouldn't expect them to be particularly fancy, but having six or so colour swapped hoods in basic colour tones would be good. The sole downside is our old jokes of 'Hood check, domn' would finally breathe it's last gasp.

Funny thing is : I have the Feathered Hat (the one we currently use as cape or robe) planned, but I didn't even think of Van Helsing or Pilgrim (aka Witch Hunter) hats. Shame on me. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll had those to my To Do List. Should be quick work.

Longshot, but...Hussar Wings?

[bloodless]

A scarf would be cool!

Longshot, but...Hussar Wings?

That's more in the "Back Accessory" department, but I might give it a try. I'll need to look up how to hook items onto back.

Would love to see a better crown VFX and something similar to a bonnet.

[Silence is Violence]

We're really lacking in the shawl department, especially for peasant women. There's some bonnet heads, but they're... not good?
Anyway, here's some examples:

Crowns/Tiaras would be awesome!

[Miuo]

Some veil options would be much beloved for us Halan folk who try and make do with hoods :3

Is it possible to make eyepatches? Just the simple black eyepatch and a mirrored version so it can go over either eye. One-eyed characters are common but except 1-2 human heads there's no way to express it in-game.

+1. It would be a big undertaking though due to the different head sizes

[Revenant]

Just a few basic recolors of the lovely hats you did already would be welcome. Red band, Blue band, Neutral (gray/brown) band for ex.

In general, I know the VFX hoods are out there for each race (male and female) and in a variety of colors (most aside from black are a bit jarring, but the brown works passably iirc). It shouldn't be much harder than changing the references from one of the existing VFX to enable them. Having tested them with most male heads, they don't have any more significant clipping thatn our other VFX.

I believe VFX objects can be colored similarly to how armor and body parts work with a PLT texture.  Instead of having a ton of static color options.  We could have the hats / hoods grab "cloth1" color.  The way that works is grabbing the color information from whatever item is in the chest slot when applied.

Landsknecht hats would be pretty great.

[Branchie]

Maybe a crown of Thorns and flowers, might be nice!

[Spazzer]

+1 on the  crown of Thorns. Plsssss

[Maffa]

I wonder if walking canes can be made as a VFX (and the various magic canes could be transposed as such), with the proper position

also would like wearable necklaces such as the three churches'.

+1 to more tiaras, crowns and such.

[modderpunk]

More silly hats

A cigar that would fit on the corner of the lips like a good western would be nice. A monocle would be good as well.

+1, I was about to write this

You'll be happy to know I've already done Monocle. Though I might have to tweak some positions, but it's pretty much good to go.
I'll see what I can do for that cigar, since the biggest issues with anything stuck to the face is... We have a TON of different shapes of head, and very VERY few of those heads are in a similar position (X, Y, Z), which means a given accessory could fit just right on... 1/4 of the heads, depending on the kind of accessory.

I already had that on my to do list, though as PrimeTheGrime said, it could be difficult (or just... ugly) to properly set up because of all the head shapes we have, as stated just above.
