A first look: New Avatar Editor
As I believe most everybody's already aware, I've been working on a shiny new editor for the site.
And today, I wish to tell you: It's nearly done! It's close enough to being done, in fact, that I'm going to make it publicly available as of now. Before I get to the link, though, I want to make sure you're well aware: This editor is not finished. There is a considerable amount of styling that still needs refining, and there are several missing features. The features not present are:
Okay, got it? Have a look! So why, you ask, would you care about some new editor? It's the same avatar, right? Well, it is. But there are a few improvements here, providing a couple new options for display, making it so that item poses aren't put in a tiny box you have to squint at, having the editor be reasonably sized in a mobile window and... Closets. Oh yes. That totally works. At the present preview state, I am not offering the option to expand your closet beyond 4 slots, but that will be an option in the near future. Also, the icons in the closet are terrible. So...sorry 'bout that. In the Closet, there are 4 things you can do with an outfit:
You can also name the outfit by clicking its name and typing. Push enter to save the name. The old avatar editor will remain active and the default link until this one has a few more important bits, and the major known issues are all resolved. Known Issues:
Tell me what you think, and if you run into any weird problems! |
I'm really liking the item stacks. =) Even the common items where you have to buy the different colors are stacked =o nice!
I can't way to have the finished editor! Keep up the good work ^-^ |
Yes, thank you for the stacks! T-T
|
nooooooooo T^T i have work to do today and can't diddle with the new avi creator!
|
*Just accidentally deleted outfit* Yeah this is going to need a tutorial

I feel like the screen isn't loading properly on my phone? Whether due to not being finished or just my phone, I'm unsure...
Dragging to re-sort layering actually seems to work exceedingly well on my phone. The only things I'm noticing that coukd be problematic is that not all items remove when I try to remove them...(Slip Dress isn't) and it looks like I should have more tabs to the right, but I can't scroll over. (Will try to screenshot and upload pic later when I have a wifi connection.) So after typing all this, I went back and refreshed the page and all the save, delete, etc buttons loaded properly. But it still looks like I should be able to scroll right a bit in the item tabs even though I can't and now the item layering doesn't work. I can drag and drop stuff, but the item always just drops to the bottom of the list. |
I was looking for a closet, when I had my angelic avatar...T.T

Once the technical details are ironed out, I'll be helping Toho with polishing up the interface. We've both got ideas, and mobile web UIs are what I do for a living.

The old avatar thingy
The new one when I press "revert" moves something in the back layer originally 2nd to last up top. (This is on a pc) Why are there "face in/out" and "face left/right"? Why not just one click thing each :o? Lol xD. The the "OMG" tab is funny. |
Revert changes your Avatar to your last saved (AKA what is shown on screen) Version. Save what you are working on and then try the Revert to see if it does that again.

Still does it, unfortunately D:

Okay, so it seems I messed up the configuration of the old editor some without realizing it. I'll have that corrected in a bit.
"OMG" is actually "OMG EVERYTHING," but that's too big, so the second word is hidden. :P face in/out/left/right is that way because you'll notice the direction avatars face varies by post. "in" and "out" is to keep the flipping, "left" and "right" is "always the same." Also affects how the avatar is displayed in the header. Bonus bug in the shops relating to facing if you use it, btw. I'll check on the revert settings, I'll get that fixed. Once the old editor's config problem is corrected (soon), you can use its revert if you're worried. |
Nope it is appearing that way on your Profile page.
Toho found the issue on the old one and is working on fixing it. |

I wish I could see that bug xD |
"face in" is what avatars normally do.
"face out" is the reverse (look away from your post). "face left" is...face left. "face right" is the opposite. |
