V3 Models

[Husky]

Main idea: revert models

Description: go back to v3 models, we’ve been told new models were in the works or these were being fixed now for over a year. Plethora of bugs with the current, gross. We don’t even have decals yet?

Pros: better models, less bugs, more options, Not everyone looks retarded.

Cons: literally nothing lol

Hot Topic!

So issue here is time!

For this to be done we would have to,

• Rewrite big chunks of the clothing system
• Create some kind of script to migrate from old clothes to new clothes
• Remake the content packs containing models
• Perform 10-20 hours worth of testing (maybe only 5 hours with @Husky pro tester help)

This change would be pretty big, bigger than any update in recent times.

This is not DarkRP so we cant just change a value to change a model, we are literally gluing players together.

If this were to get accepted, it would probably take a long time before someone actually started on this. It's a massive change, and no PERP Developer has the time to spend 10 hours a day on coding, after working for 8-10 hours.

But then again, if this is something the community wants then maybe it should be considered?

It feels to me that it’d be miles easier to just add the old clothing under the new system than to revert completely.

 

[Sam]

Not at all, models are not built the same

 

[Sam]

and we would not revert anything, we would have to recode. A revert only works on recent changes, a code revert from several years ago would break it all

 

[joey]

much bigger task, but should've really been done like this at the start if plausible, make the whole model system much more dynamic, I notice a lot of issues are how hardcoded bits of perp are.

 

[Sam]

The models are built in different ways so changing configuration won’t really help.

@Samuel I did know XQ was trying to work on something but it was just not very possible

@ShadowJoey he was working on sex mod

 

[Husky]

@Samuel do not fear, I am here to dev test!

 

[Askasta]

im also down to help but idk who i contact or if they choose players.

Denied

As I wrote above, this would take a massive effort as a complete re-code would be required. There will be changes to the player models, and the buyable attachments.
