Adding our own prints to clothing on 362

The devs announced that on the next patch, which is 362, we'll have the option to add prints to our clothing. Even though that's awesome on its own, there's not much variety when it comes to how many prints we already have. It would be cool to upload our own pics and use them as a clothing print. This could be a great option, especially for creative players or groups within the game. For example, the Fuckers Of Anarchy MC can upload their logo and use it with the leather jackets

I agree it would be kind of great, the reality it would be a little more complex to do than it sounds. Each base model of any clothing item has something called a uv map. This is essentially the representation of a 3D object unwrapped to 2 dimensions in order for a texture to go on it. The problem is that determines exactly how a texture, and decals such as designs will apply to the model and means that without having the uv map it's difficult to have the design look good when applied to the model.

 

In addition I think the sgd team are very keen to retain. Some quality control, so like models means that designs would need probably some kind of approval process.

 

Although I too love the idea of being able to upload our own designs... I have a feeling it won't be coming anytime soon.

It would be a bad thing because of performance issues... if every user would use different textures, this would become a huge problem...

Had to agree. Servers have to do additional processing on those textures, slowing down the server speed and some players may lag more than usual because of it. The custom texture if allowed, would mean you can't upload such a huge file and well, probably use very small file size which means not a whole lot of details can go on those textures. So it may not serve its purpose. :(

I did a post once on a system I thought could be fairly easily added.

My idea was to have an addition to our changing room controls where we had a way where we could try new textures for some of the clothing we have.

People could make the textures and uv maps, have them stored in a directory on their own computer and see how they look on our characters in the game.

They could take screenshots and then place them in a specific post in here for people to view and click like.

Then at the end of each week, or month or what ever the devs could go through and decide which ones to add.
