Outfits

[goitre]

Suppose a person is wearing a set of clothing items, then I suggest that it be possible to define this set as an 'outfit', and later put on the outfit with a single click. The idea behind this is so characters can have work clothes, formal clothes, and so on, and switch between them easily.

On the CHARACTER DESCRIPTION page there could exist a button to define what a person is currently wearing as an outfit.

[x] define as outfit.

Once several outfits are designed then it should be possible to switch between them with a single click.

[x] wear outfit 'formal dress' [x] wear outfit 'casual attire' [x] wear outfit 'traditional robes'

Which will immediately remove any clothing, and put on the appropriate clothing items.

so would a set be of several pieces of clothing (cotton shorts, silk vest...) or would a set be a seperate piece of clothing (formal clothing set)?

Nice idea but it you could do it without putting anything in the description window.

Keeps it simpler that way.

E.g. An outfit could consist of leather boots, pants and vest. The idea is to be able to put them on simultaneously with one click. Wear outfit 'leathers.'

It's not hard to changer clothes as it is. And not a lot of people have more than one outfit.

[SekoETC]

Eww, this makes me think of traditional games! *puke* I don't think there's really a need for this. Actually stripping and donning clothes should create an event instead of happening secretly. And definately one piece at a time instead of throwing a whole bunch of them on in one click.

[Sunni Daez]

Well, I agree with Seko about the one piece at a time...but not necessarily the event part..

You say: "Suddenly i feel so very dirty."
You see a woman in her twenties take off a hide bikini.
Woman in her twenties says: "*moves behind a tree and begins to change*"

Don't think this has a use to be honest.

I was a bit surprised at the lack of enthusiasm for this suggestion. I do see the point that not many people have many sets of clothes. Sounds like it will not happen. Ah well...

I think it was misundersttod as outifts being hardcoded, rather than user defined. I think KoL had the same sort of outfit definition. I like the idea as proposed, but am not sure how complicated it would be to store it. Each character would need to have defined their list of outfits that they had dreamed up and named. I am not sure what area of the character page it would be stored in with the current interface.

Maybe there could be a button like the "operations on notes" button which says "operations on clothes"

This would open up a page with a list of clothing with the little check boxes, and the outfit you make could be a theoretical envelope you put the clothes in. So the outfit can be stored in your inventory and worn just like normal clothing. However, the problem with the envelope comparison comes when one is taking their clothes off, and in putting them back into the outfit or your inventory.

Then again, I know nothing of coding, so this could be more complex than needed or completly off target.

I personally don't think it's to hard to simply change the way it already is.. And Yes Most of my characters not only have more then one outfit but several pairs of those our\tfits to change into...


On another thought I do believe it would be more useful if the removing and adding of cloths should cause an event. It may encourage some of our... more inclined characters to step inside to do what they do or just simply change...

I can just see it now before anyone was notified of the change..
a man talking to a woman
you see a woman remove hide bikini
a man stops his conversation to tell her ummm do you know I jsut saw you do that?

It mostly depends on the speed of your connection and server lag at any given moment.
