Custom Avatar for dreams only, Why not? Options

[Kage]

I was considering for a while, to make like, Mustilines who have Triwings a special charactor of some sort for a dream of mine, but then any Mustie who had Triwings would be that, and I only want certain people to be it.. Why not do this:

New DS that can change a certain furre to a special player.fsh:

(1:#) When a customizeable furre sets of a trigger,

(2:#) And the triggering furre is customizeable,

(5:#) Change the triggering furre to special player.fsh #.


Things like this..

And by default, the customizeable furre .fsh would be a canine.. Again, why not?

There were similar ideas mentioned by others before.
the specific one I remember is:

(5:#) change the triggering furre into item # from #.fsh/fs2.

that would mean that the customizable furre would be a #.fsh

This could very well solve the two sex models ive wanted, the main furcadia servers could use ds lines like that to have to sets of player.fsh's!!!! I want this!

No, not nessisarily sex models ya horomone-enriched furry

Someone walks into something, and this would be what they could turn into:

Priest
Some special monster
Charactor with object in paw (Better RPing)
Charactor with missing paw?
Police officer
Fireman
Taxi-cab driver
Furre in a suit

List goes on forever.

Sounds like you are planning on building the Furcadia version of the Village People.

This type of thing could have an interesting effect on roleplay.

But why not make a command
`changeavatar something.fsh/fs2 #
where number is the #th entry in the fsh (#=every 20=1)

But what would be the limit to avatars?
And how hard would it be to program?

[Merle]

But what would be the limit to avatars?

Well... I would think that, size-wise, there'd have to be some sort of trade-off for the people who love massive patches.  What's the max size, 3mb?  Is that max with or without encyrption?

The idea is intriguing. I think it would be great to have, upon entering the dream, a little notice that said * This dream has one extra avatar. If you would like to use it, type `av1. To change back to your original species, exit and re-enter the dream.

[Farrier]

Hmm, that would be tricky. But much easier would be to have a few statues, and let you walk into the statue for the species you wanted to be.

That would be nice.

`av off
`av#

I like that.

Farrier, that may work for social dreams, but having to choose from statues for roleplay dreams would be an OOC thing, it would be much more simple for those who don't want to make an in-dream DS-adding space-using changespecies thinngy to simply have a ` command.

Could do both. Who knows.

Perhaps... bleh...
