Update! Avatar Editor
Hey everybody! As promised A week and a half ago, I have a preview for my planned big update to the Avatar Editor!
And it's 90% functional! The only missing features are things that the current standard editor already doesn't do, so it's not a step back. I just don't want to make it official until I've had time to get feedback about styling, and make some proper (non-generic-icon) button symbology.
Oh yeah, and make sure more items sort properly into their categories. I'll primarily be focusing on that a bit for a while next.
The Avatar Editor
It has a different (less strange) url from the original editor, so if you want to compare this with the old, you can just click your avatar up top.
Main implemented features:- Shares all inventory display logic with the standard (new) Inventory page
- Searching
- Find any item with a hat (or anything else), not just commons
- Items are grouped as they are in shops, and duplicates stack.
- Equipped items show up as separate entries in the inventory list, are marked, and show what pose they are using.
- Outfit closet
- At present you may save up to 4 outfits in your closet, which you can put onto your working avatar at any time.
- Each outfit also saves gender, skin color, and facing data
- More streamlined gender + skin selection
Planned features:Avatar facing: Choose face in (default), out, always left, or always right. This was done in the WIP editor I had made a while back, and is fully supported in this editor, I just don't have the UI configured for it yet. Implemented June 11
- Body slicing: Hide arms, legs, torso from your selected base skin. Make it easier to use body mods!
- More closet slots: Slots will be purchasable with aurum or runes. The first 4 are free. Cost TBD.
- Search by tag
- Customizable filter tabs
- All free items will be automatically present
Known Issues:- A fair number of headings lack styling (too small, too plain, not clear)
- The placement of buttons around the working/preview avatar is a bit off
- The closet doesn't allow renaming outfits currently
- Many items don't currently appear in the Body, Gear, and Scene categories
- Several visual components have issues with their styling (such as the separator bar that just stops at some point)
Header avatar doesn't refresh on save (Have to hit F5/cmd+R to see change)
Layer manager doesn't show specific pose icons
My current intention is to have both the Editor and Inventory pages complete and launched as the official versions on July 1.
I am, of course, happy to hear feedback, suggestions, and ideas regarding the editor, be it styling, implementation details, or just idle thoughts. :D
