Customizable height scaling won't be in the game any time soon, unfortunately. So right now the height should be an average instead of an extreme, one way or the other.

There's no way it could have - such a thing can only occur in updates, as it's not a server-side change.

To say this is the case it's hard to tell when I login in the fenkis look shorter. Fenkis are shorter than the males when I login and before they were taller.  ??? Odd....

Did you edit your cal3d file and rezip the characters.zip? If you did that then you have the change now but only you see it

Is that because it simply not on the task list?  We added it to PT already only because its an extremely simple thing to do.  As for the gui side just as simple slider with sane constraints works fine.

Oh wow, seriously? I remember Talad exploring ways to scale our NPC models for young/grown versions, but evidently it was too complicated..? I'd love to know how you guys did it :) That'd be really cool.

Well, instead of making the scale of a model "hard" like in the cal3d file, you make it a string that's sent with character info, just like race, haircolor, armour. The string passes the right scale on to the engine, just like the cal3d value does it right now upon load time.

Just guessing ;)

I don't think thats how its handled in PT.  Its dynamic, as you can drag the slider and watch him grow and shrink in real time.

But that slider works only during character creation, not after you created your character, right?
