Map Hats / Headbands to All Frames + Add Repals Where Needed #206

Open jrconway3 opened 17 hours ago

jrconway3 commented 17 hours ago

So I was looking over this to see how hard it would be to finish these up. Hats/Headbands tend to be fairly easy, as is anything on the head. As long as I have cutouts we're good.

The biggest issue here is just how MUCH there is, and as it turns out, there's way more than I anticipated. Let's break everything down.

NOTE: I will not be doing new repalettes if the palettes of the core color is more than 7-8 colors, primarily 7. I would have to come up with new fill-in colors for every color above that level and that would take a long time.

Head Coverings:

  1. Hijab (very easy repal, might need a male/female split due to the hanging strands, but probably isn't too necessary)
  2. Hoods (if I ignore the partial transparency and the black, there's about 10 colors that vary from each; this is really annoying, but could be doable if I add more colors to other palettes later... not worth it right now, though, I'll just stick with the current three, though I may implement a way to just repal between the three sets; might need a male/female split)
  3. Bandana (repal shouldn't be too hard, but the white is really weird; the white has a lot of stray extra colors that are utterly pointless because you can't even tell the difference)
  4. Tied Head Band (I REALLY like this one and it already has a full list of repals)

Common Hats:

  1. Christmas Elf (this appears to have both the trim and main hat with ALL color variations; if I do this I'm going to split them into two separate layers)
  2. Santa Hat (similar to Christmas Elf, but only white for the trim; I could add repals for the trim as well for fun)
  3. Feather Cap (I'm not doing recolors for this right now)
  4. Crown (there's four base colors with 7 palettes, but I'll add recolors for metal recolors and all "cloth" recolors)
  5. Tiara (this should be fine to easily do with repals; there's no male version, but that's an easy addition, we probably don't even need two separate versions at all here)
  6. Formal Hat (I think the Brown formal hat is incorrectly layered; it looks like the two hats are the same hat, but the Brown hat got layered over itself once so it kinda got duplicated a bit)
  7. Formal Round Hat (this one should be easy to drop repalettes for)

Magic Hats:

  1. Standard Hat (this has existing colors in gray/red/teal/yellow/black/brown; all are the same style, but they're not easy to repal straight into other colors; perhaps I can take the "band" and repal that as a separate layer)
  2. Starry Wizard Hat (includes both moon and non-moon; I can't think of a good way to easily repal this, so just map to all frames)
  3. "Brown 2" Hat (this hat is terrible looking, but its already here so I'll map to all frames)

Pirate Hats: This list is absolutely massive, I didn't expect that many. All of them already have repals, so need to keep that in mind. Most have a female/male split, but as they're on top of the head, that split is probably no longer necessary in these cases.

  1. Pirate Bandana (looks similar to the Bandana above, but FAR better and far cleaner)
  2. Skull Bandana (same as the Pirate Bandana, but with a skull; I could just have the skull be a separate layer with its own repals for fun, that's one option)
  3. Bicorne Athwart (includes Admiral, Admiral Cockade, Commodore, and Pirate variants)
  4. Bicorne Foreaft (also includes Commodore)
  5. Bonnie (and Feather)
  6. Cavalier (and Feather)
  7. Kerchief
  8. Tricorne (also includes Captain, Pirate Captain, Skull Pirate Captain, Lieutenant, Stiched, and Thatched Variations)

Reptile Hats: This is weird. Basically, these assets are designed for Reptile heads rather than normal heads. I already have all of these assets completed, except for the hood and bandana. I'll test and see if we even need these separately or if the existing assets will work. I'm pretty sure I already tested the horns on Reptile anyway so they should look good I think...

  1. Red Bandana
  2. Fin (three colors)
  3. Short Fin (three colors)
  4. Hood
  5. Horns (same was under Horns)

Even if the Fins/Horns don't quite work for Reptile, I'll still move them out of here and over to the appendages section, just with a different entry for "Reptile" that has the corrected positioning.

This list is... really intimidating. They should each individually be quite easy, and tbh, I doubt they need any cutouts either because the hands would be so low. However, its such a MASSIVE list that it will take a long time to get through.

Okay, I know how I can repal the hood. For the hood, I just take the base brown color and only repal the browns. Then I keep the original white and original black as separate options. That should work I think.

I'm going to try and get out a quick update with repals for all the "cloth" items right away.

Hood is a bit harder than I thought, though. It does require some adjustments around the shoulders.
