Dynamic Avatar System

Recommended Posts

Imagine if you found the legendary flaming sword of Drigith. How awesome would it be if it showed up on your avatar? Your achievement would not go unnoticed as you stroll through the village wielding flaming death for everyone to see.

Imagine no longer, dynamic avatars for the Nowhere engine are here!

(Yikes, I accidentally put the weapon behind the players hand when making this image.)

Change your player's look by changing your outfit and equipment.

Armor/Shirts

Pants

Gloves

Shoes

Capes

Weapons

Shields

Helmets/Hats

Integrated with the inventory system.

The Dynamic Avatar System hooks into the inventory system to make the images, but it does not modify the inventory system in any way. If you have a custom inventory system, you only need to add a few lines of code for the DAS to get the information it needs.

If you don't have a wearable image uploaded for the item that the player is equipping, a default one will be drawn. This prevents the DAS from crashing or failing to update an image because of a missing image.

Starting location for creating your character's look.

The starting location allows players to choose what they want their character to look like. The player can customize the character's body. It does not allow players to choose an outfit (which the player will change anyway). Pressing the continue button brings up a small blip about how they found themselves in the world and then that brings them to the actual starting location (wherever you have chosen that to be).

Hairstylist location.

Come on in, take a seat. I'll be with you in a moment!

A location for the player to get their hairstyle changed is included. The cost is set in a variable at the top of the page to make it easy to adjust the price. If the player is bald, the haircut is free.

Layers for tattoo's and damage.

Compatible with boats.

Got a boat? No problem. Boat and Iron Boat images are dynamically drawn for each player.

Player's layer preferences can be saved.

Being that the DAS works automagicaly, minor visual issues are bound to arise. A common one is the clipping of the player's hair and helmet. Luckily, this is an easy, fun fix! The player is able to choose if the hair or helmet is displayed. The layer preferences can be saved to make this as easy as possible.

The layer preferences are displayed just below the player avatar. The changes are shown immediately and can be saved by clicking the 'Save Prefs' button.

Fully compatible with smooth movement and steps.

Each step in each direction is drawn. Walk along with smooth animation just like the stock avatars.

Admin tools for uploading wearable images.

You can upload / delete wearable images from under the "DB Admin" section. Items with images are marked with a star.

Admin tool for editing player avatars.

Edit your players or create images for NPC's with the included Player Designer. You can also reset a player's image back to their own in the event that a quest or spell goes wrong.

Totally modular system.

The drawing system is totally modular and is accessible by other parts of the engine. This allows programmers to use the system creatively for spells (polymorph, cloning, and disguises), quests, and displaying damage dynamically.

Transparent Thumbnails

Item thumbnails have a transparent background, which allows you to use thumbnails with any theme.

I will be happy to help install the mod and get it up and running on your server. If you need help via email or Instant Message, my contact information is in the documentation.

(It is more of a development base than a game right now)
