Title: Custom Skins
Post by: yayoo on September 18, 2005, 12:35:02 am

I did a search on this but never found a good answer. :(

I just wonna know how the custom skins work.
Like can everyone else see them and does it make everyone have the skin

I believe only you can see your custom skins. Also, if you put in a custom skin for a certain race, every other person who plays that race in game would show up wearing that custom skin.

Well in my boredom i\'ve come up with this for a skin, since that damnable Harnquist has went on vacation again...

Direct copy/paste from the official PlaneShift Player Guide.

\"Modifications to the client content (graphics, sounds, ...) are not allowed by PS License. In particular we will not tolerate players using mods to connect to an official server if those allow cheating, or modify the visual aspects of the game or its design. If you want to add levels or graphics to PlaneShift you are more then welcome to participate in our development.\"

Is this what you guys are talking about?

I am fairly sure skinning the HUD on the client is tolerated, because pssetup has options for changing the skins.

I think that paragraph from the player guide means stuff like modding your clients so you can see through walls, make dark areas bright, etc.

Modifying your game to give an unfair advantage is not tolerated.

putting some pants on the ynnwn male is however, ok :)

Guilds should have custom skins... it basically shows individuality

Hahah! I thought it would be a show of unity more...?

Antra of the Guild Knights has made a GK skin... i think it looks great but it needs a few improvements... he says he is going to change the Borders a little.. so this isn\'t the final copy..

With this I could see someone making an adult skin with everyone naked  :P

*rolls eyes* A nude fenki skin was already done by someone. I really hope such things aren\'t going to be circulated around, as it is a complete degradation of the community.

i agree with karyuu on that... i\'d rather not know that someone is looking at my character in an inappropriate way.

as for custom guild skins, it\'s a neat idea

what would really be neat is, when they make the individual skins more complex, is adding something like a medal, or a cape, or maybe a tattoo with the guild\'s symbol, so you don\'t have to have a guild name floating above your head, and people would have to ask you which guild you belong to (more realism on that part)
