Almost 2 new clothing.. but was stuck on this..





And im still not happy lol..

( the 288x400 resolution for inventory ) real render has normal quality you have already seen..


Edit: for Dark who provided base image.. i know shoes are missing..

[DarkTl]

I dunno, looks great. Though if you want to render boots and gloves too (you don't have to), they should have separated icons.

[lamoli]

Yeah i know everything is separate i just combined then on that render..


Now as icon.. it should show the top/center part of the dress like the other ones or full dress ( without gloves and leggings ) ?

[DarkTl]

I think it's too long to be showed fully. Try to show at least the upper half or 2/3.

[DarkTl]

Hey lamoli, there was an icon for the last dress in your previous post, but not anymore. I didn't saved it on hdd yesterday, since I was planning to add it today. Could you restore it?

@Dark:

Code: [Select]

+                        if name == "CrossbowAttack":  #different weapons have different power of crit
+                            multiplier += 0.2
+                        elif name == "KnifeAttack":
+                            multiplier += 1.0
+                        elif name == "ClawAttack":
+                            multiplier += 0.4
+                        elif name == "FistAttack":
+                            multiplier -= 0.4
+                        elif name == "CannonAttack":
+                            multiplier -= 0.6
+                        elif name == "RodAttack":
+                            multiplier -= 1.1
+                        elif name == "AxeAttack":
+                            multiplier -= 0.2
+                        elif name == "BiteAttack":
+                            multiplier += 0.5
+                        elif name == "GunAttack":
+                            multiplier += 0.3
+                        elif name == "ScytheAttack":
+                            multiplier += 0.6
+                        elif name == "SprayAttack":
+                            multiplier -= 0.7
+                        elif name == "ThrowAttack":
+                            multiplier -= 0.1
+                        elif name == "WhipAttack":
+                            multiplier += 0.4
I'd appreciate adding such properties and handing them through class attributes and never through if/else forks, it's cleaner and better manageable.

Other clothes..








Now i think i got them right .. let me know if something is wrong

Looks awesome!

@Dark:

In addition to that, why are the -ja attacks carry less power/cost less than their -ga counterparts? They are supposed to be moar elite.

Atm spells are balanced around their tier and area of effect, not around names. In case if you don't know, in most FF games the weakest and the strongest spells target one enemy, and all others target all enemies.

In our case spells can target one, any one, all, all in the first row. If you insist on exact copying of FF spells, our system will be much simpler than it can be thanks to the rows.

Moreover, FF games already have less elemental spells than we, so they can afford a rapid increase in spell power, while we cannot.

[DarkTl]

Possible solution is to allow player to select aoe for most spell freely. Then spells should be balanced around power only, and power will be divided by the number of targets.

Since I want to add special effects to all spells eventually anyway, they will be unique even with changeable aoe.

[Xela]

Easy to do... but your approach is sound. As you explain the logic, it is perfectly acceptable and easy to explain to the players. You solution is easy to implement but I am not sure that  a "solution" is required. It will work just fine as, it's just not what we went with in the past.

[DarkTl]

I'd like to use tags to determine in some cases characters that you can find in location. Specifically, I have in mind school location where you only can meet characters with school uniform+girlmeets tag, and use only school uniform+girlmeets pictures there too, obviously.

[Xela]

You could try but it'd prolly be clumsy...

[DarkTl]

It will ignore other limitations like traits, since otherwise there will be only a few pictures. It's a shame to have many pics with specific clothes but don't use them centrally. Might be useful for beach+swimsuit too.

[Xela]

I am on Android traveling atm.

Main problem with your idea is that our concept of chars hanging around locations based on their interests instead of what pics they may have is plainly better. I don't like adding more confusion to it and to the code.
