Uniform preview mannequin

[rariisan]

An item that is a mannequin (or whatever, really) that holds a certain skin, which you would "R" to get the skin loaded onto you. Could make it rank-exclusive if a faction desires to do it so, so lower ranks would be assigned a certain uniform while higher ranks had a more special/desired one.

Please support my other suggestions if you like them:

• Let servers give out local titles/badges/ranks/medals
  
• New storage button: Add stored blocks to filter
  
• Option to highlight blocks of a certain type

Not really sure how the skin loading would work. It seems like it'd be quite a bit of effort server side for something people could just obtain and put on locally.

Though it would make for some nice immersion from an RP stand point to be able to make character changes without leaving the game

I though skins were only client side?

That would be nice by the way. But I'd prefer space suits/armour

I'm not so sure about that. Afaik the process of applying a Skin to a player can be entirely client-based, because right now your client is downloading skins of other players. But let's say that it does cost resources to the server and that the player (in the worst case) would have to restart their client for the skin to be applied: It would still make a great feature for the game (kinda what you said).

Maybe you've been in a server that doesn't allow custom skins? In my server skins are server-side. I'd also love to see this with suits/armor, this and the feature I proposed aren't mutually exclusive!

I like this, it could be like NPC, but with custom skin interface dialog, and no animation.

Additionnaly, I'd like to be able to set a NPC custom skin by script. (Currently I'm only able to change npc default skin)

Very well put.

I'd also personally prefer that, in the case of uniforms, the face was hidden.

This is a good idea. They can do it, it's not that hard to program. Thumbs up.

Thanks, it's important to bump suggestions you support. If not look for example at the thread I made about a much needed feature for the factory, I made it two months ago and it went unnoticed, two days ago somebody bumped it and BAM, Kupu posts that he agrees and is working on it.
