The time has come! Well, almost. =P

At this point in time, I have pretty much finished work on the Wardrobe to like 96%+. There's a few minor things and some polishing I will still eventually do, but it's ready to be released at this point.

However, it won't quite be that simple for me lol. The new Wardrobe uses an entirely different system both for tracking player data and also for building the actual avatar images. Thus - everything currently on Site is useless to me and I can no longer use it.

This means that I will need to start switching over all existing systems to use the new systems. This will probably take a couple days in all.

During the next few days - you may very well experience various issues related to the Wardrobe/Avatar systems. This could include, but may not be limited to:

-The images don't load
-Backgrounds disappear
-Head items disappear


Additionally, once the switch over takes place, the following changes will become permanent:

-Clothing will be removed. We have turned quite a few of the original clothing combinations into what will now become default Outfits unlocked for everyone. I will be working on getting those set up today, and once I do, I will provide a preview of what they look like.

-Backgrounds will be removed from the 'Back' category and into their own category. They will layer exactly as they do now, however, you will just be able to use a Background, a Back item, and Wings all together.

-Facial Features will be locked to a maximum of 3 selections at a time. The reason for this is that we plan on adding a ton more Facial Features and this is really the only way to make it realistically work.

-All existing Hair Styles have been re-lined and re-shaded so that they all match.


In regards to everyone's Saved Outfits, here is what is happening with them:

-Since players will be able to purchase a Saved Outfit with AP or Diamonds (price reduced to 50), players now only get 1 free Outfit Slot. Any additional will have to be unlocked.

-All existing Saved Outfits will be switched over to the new system, regardless of how many valid slots a player has. If they end up with more Saved Outfits than existing slots, they will just have to either delete the extras or purchase more slots before being able to save any new Outfits.

-All existing purchased Styles and added Items will remain unlocked for players as they have it now. Nothing is changing in regards to these and nothing will be lost.


Keep an eye open for additional announcements regarding the new Wardrobe over the next few days!


Here are the 16 new Default Outfits that will be available to all players. The goal of these 16 defaults was to replace the Clothing system of the original Wardrobe. We very likely will add additional combinations and/or design patterns for Default Outfits later on. But this is what we will have at the beginning:

Yay, good job coder jesus!

Awesome!

Thank you!

This upgrade already looks AMAZING! I am really excited! Thank you so much!

Yay thanks Krin!

(So...just to clarify: we'll have to purchase new avi save slots before we can resave anything on our existing avi designs? (_{gah I worded that terribly})

The new Wardrobe page setup looks good. Also, I like separating Backgrounds from things like the Nephini Buddy. (Everyone should go get a Nephini Buddy.)

Everything looks so good! Is the flannel jacket one of the clothing items being carried over? It's my favorite though I could never justify spending diamonds on it when I had so few

How exciting! :D

Wooh! Cant wait for this to be finished! The update looks great Krin!

Sweet. As always an amazing job Krin.
