Marker for changes in character's outfit

Postby Smellfungus » Sun Sep 09, 2007 6:04 am

Split from Dynamic character description

I had an idea not totally unlike this, but I'm not sure if it's already been suggested. Would it be possible to have a marker appear next to a name to show that a person has recently changed their clothes? I don't know what it would take programming wise, but I was thinking all it had to be was an asterisk. Or, rather than have it for everyone, have it based on the last time the character description was looked at. Have a tick box maybe that flags all the current worn items, and when you next load up their page, all removed items are greyed out and all new items are highlighted. That way, if any item change has occurred, the database could check to see if anyone in the current location has any flags and whether new items have been added/old items removed and asterisk their names.

Sorry, I'm rambling... I didn't sleep much last night. :oops:

When I do rping say like for a pillow fight... I look at what the charrie I'm about to hit is wearing, what his doing and if he has a shield or not. Then I put it into rp.... Having a dislike and like chart with descriptions of the charrie is an excellent idea. I would be able to set the scene of rping alot easier. We could also have a space for favourite food, occupation, list of enemies, friends, groups you belong to, how many boyfriends/girlfriends you have and special notes on your charrie. ETC....
