Character ingame avatars/portraits
« on: January 10, 2014, 02:51:14 pm »
Hello! i just had the idea. Would be nice to implement an avatar system ingame.
While in character registration sheet, you can select your avatar from the list or just pick it up from your personal profile in the official forum of the server.
Adding a system to upload your avatar from pc from registration sheet may be pretty impossible and problematic. So instead, the in-game avatar could be linked to an existing forum account. If the user changes his avatar in forum it will change aswell in game.

You can see a player avatar/portrait when you open trade, opening inventory (for example) and if you are leader of a party, you can see small versions of their portraits in the left of the screen where usually timeouts are displayed. If you are being followed by 3 players, those player's avatars will be visible when you are "tagged". If you are following somebody else, you only can see the leader portrait.

For a server using 2238 version of FOnline Engine, would be awesome to put a small portrat/avatar in the top of "command" menu, (alt+lmb click on a player) just above player ID.
Example: (i know it's horrible, but it's just a quick example)

I like idea in general, but how would we be able to get those avatars to ingame?
Somekind of options and such hard things to FOconfig for example?

As I remember Fallout is already a 18+ game. I don't see any theoretical problems with dick and triceratits pictures. :-]

Though I somehow doubt that it can be implemented. If there are people that can dig -that- deep in the code... I'd rather have them rebind 'B' and 'N' keys to something more convenient.

(disclaimer notice: do -not- google triceratits. Some things can not be unseen)

I would love such a feature. Too bad we're not using the Fallout Tactics engine.

Nah, you can do everything with FOnline engine which is just modern than old FT. Simple examples from FOnline: Battle of the fallen. That you can see someone create avatar placeholders, well even FOnline: Desert Europes and FOnline: Tactics/MOBA use avatars (or might use).
