IDEEN FÜR RYZOM

Arceuid posted an article on that. TL/DR version; red is the easiest color, black is the hardest. White is technically the second hardest, but is still fairly common simply because there are a lot of folks who craft with mostly/only PR mats.

I will try to rebuild my dev environment and see if I can get this working:

Yes, that is more interresting if there will be any real conditions.

Je vois vraiment pour pourquoi un objet coloré avec des pigments qu'on aura été forer en plus des mps nécessaire à sa création ne pourrait pas être vendu. Ce serait une énorme entrave au commerce qui est déjà moribond sur Ryzom.

I am a "traditionalist", so concerning the additional colors thing...

>>twitch<< >>twitch<< >>SHUDDER<< >>>SCREAM!!!!<<<

Agreed. Considering how many trades I've been denied simply because I am in a guild that is aligned with the "wrong" faction or because some nationalists won't deal with those who must resort to Google Translate, I think that any further impediments to trade would be a bad idea. It's hard enough to find people willing to trade in the first place, why make it worse for arbitrary reasons?

I think we have one rule:

Recoloured "Low Durability" armor can not be resold.

Recoloured "High Durability" armor can be resold.

Question:

Would it be appropriate for guilds to hire a vendor that recolors armor in a color/stitching that is unique to that guild?

Subscribed accounts might get access to a vendor that recolors in only 8 colours?

Free to play might get access to a vendor that recolors in only 4 colours?

By "Low Durability" I meant  "Items made with more than 2 low quality materials".


In terms of Lore:
Low quality materials are damaged when high quality dyes are applied to them.
Items made using more than 2 low quality materials will suffer damage of 26% during the dyeing process. 

So

1/ existing Blue Armor made from 100% blue mats may be recoloured to (say) Red and retain 100% of their durability.

2/ existing Green Armor made from 50% blue mats and 50% green mats may be recoloured to (say) Red but will retain only 74% of their durability after recolouring.

This stops people dying green Armor red and selling it.

I am still working on it.

I looked at the VisualPropsABC and decided that 256 models of armor is too low.

I am changing VisualPropsABC so that we can have (up to) 65535 models of armor in (up to) 255 colors (16 to start with) , this should provide space to allow new colors as well as a choice of 8 styles of undies in 8 colors. The players current underwear model and color are remembered so when the outer armor is removed the underwear should be automatically equiped (without the player having to find and equip them). With space for 65,000 additional models for armor we might even get permission to create some casual clothing or swimwear? 

The work is slow going but this is the plan at the moment:

           //TODO - some day make it WRT centre of planet so the player flies horizontally rather than being "terrain following" - done

AntiGravity  might never be given to players but it could be left there for event co-ordinators (Maybe Santa can fly)
