6 years ago Avatars are also a good outlet for spending kudos. Custom avatars would be extra nice to have, but certain units could be unlocked with varying amounts of kudos. (It would be nice to not get stuck with a pale floppy phallus as your avatar for several years...)

6 years ago Maybe we could reduce avatar set which new accounts get their avatar raffled from to < 1000 metal units? Then we could charge for changing your avatar. Whether this costs XP or kudos I don't mind.

6 years ago Provide list of avatars to restrict new players to. It is implementable in DB.

6 years ago The limiting is, but there's no avatar kudos/XP option

6 years ago I have compiled a list of unitpics that are eligible for avatars as part of #2085. Some were also removed for not being actual units (grebe, etc).
All that remains then is to filter ones that are below price cutoff threshold. http://etherpad.springrts.com/p/avatars
Start players with an avatar of some cheap unit (Flea, Dart, Dirtbag).
Implement site UI to select avatar.
Have players unlock avatar on level up. Random avatar out of a pool of units based on their level. Perhaps unlock units that cost no more than 50 times their current level. There are a lot of units at the bottom so perhaps this can be improved. Maybe the equation
162.472*EXP(0.0515*Level)is a good bound for what can be unlocked. This is an exponential through (1,50), (30,800), (100, 28000).Level up should send message to clients. Chobby should popup a box telling people their reward. Chobby should be able to avatar selection change to server so users can select whether to use the new avatar on level up.
