Suggestion : Custom player image #896

Open Foxlider opened 6 years ago

You did the custom character image but how about a custom player image ?

IvoryOwl92 commented 6 years ago

It already exists?

But then If we have multiple characters in different savefiles the image stays the same.

The way it works right now means you have to manually switch them around if you want to roll different characters with different appearances. The same logic applies to NPCs if you want them to look 'different' in each playthrough.

What you want is a 'portrait selection' in-game similar to RPGs when making our characters but I'm not sure how feasible or viable that is to do in a Java game, considering the fact you'd also have to take nudes into account and other variables... It may be doable but I'm no coder to know for certain. I wouldn't hold my breath on this one though, not for a good while at least.

I'm just glad we can use custom pictures, like, at all. Most games don't allow that, much less so this early in development.

I can certainly see the need to bind images to specific saves. The current workaround is to add everything you need and select the one you want to use (as the selected one will be saved).

As for a long term solution, the current structure makes it somewhat difficult since it wasn't built with this kind of usage in mind. Restructuring is possible, but currently not worth the effort imho.
