<title>Old beef revisited: Clothing</title>
<description>There are other threads about this, I am aware.&amp;nbsp; In an attempt not to necro but to continue to push for this, I am posting a new thread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to fight in style but still have the best buffs available.&amp;nbsp; As of this moment, these goals are mutually exclusive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know that changing the clothing database would be a serious undertaking.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;ve always said I&apos;m willing to forego a lot of content for this, but others may not be, so would there perhaps be other ways to get around the problem?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are RSI pills that can change a redpill&apos;s features - could you do a similar thing to change the texture/skin of an article of clothing?&amp;nbsp; This might still require a database redo, I dunno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or - and this one might cause some game problems that I am not aware of - could you make the clothing database open-ended, or else increase its size by a couple orders of magnitude?&amp;nbsp; This might allow for the creation of new clothing items - by whomever wants to create them.&amp;nbsp; Give a small user interface - or use the coder interface we already have - to pick and choose buffs for a completely new article of clothing.&amp;nbsp; Run a check through the DB to see if such an item already exists, make sure not to let the player name the clothing (just use the &amp;quot;enhanced&amp;quot; modifier, or some variation thereof), and if the item does not exist, create it.&amp;nbsp; And - I am liking this solution more and more as I type - even if the database change does not go into effect until downtime, you can just tell the player &amp;quot;your item will work for now but its texture will not be what you want until the next downtime/server patch.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Next week, database updates, and presto, people have the clothes they wanted with the buffs they wanted too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, please do something about this.&amp;nbsp; The clothes make the man. :)</description>
