Hello. In this post I’m grouping some suggestions/bug reports regarding the avatar editor.
They’re mostly for small QOL (quality of life) features that I don’t think need a full post for each, so I’m putting it all here. I’m also including some old unadressed posts from other people.
Some suggestions could also apply to the world building mode.
Suggestions:
- Undo/redo button.
- Naming/coloring layers.
- When mirror mode is enabled, add a text in the corner saying so. Lots of times I forget it’s enabled and mess up the avatar.
- Paint bucket: Paints selected color A to selected color B. Useful for recoloring clothing and skin color without needing to manually paint it all again.
- Head height: The starter male avatar has it’s head pulled a bit higher up because it wears a scarf. Doing my avatar was a problem because I wanted to keep it’s body consistent with the starter avatar, but when I removed the scarf it’s head was way too high up. I had to manually pull it down. (image 1)
- 5.1. The hitbox should be kept the same regardless of head height.
- 5.2. This suggestion covers some other limb positioning/resizing options I think should be looked at.
- When a body part is selected, add a back button on the corner. Can be less confusing than learning you have to press ESC to go back. Also serves as a mouse alternative to go back rather than keyboard only.
- Recently used colors.
- 7.1 A little icon in the corner of the colors that are being used on the avatar. (image 2)
- A toggle between dark/light background. Dark colors are hard to edit with a dark background. (image 3)
- Make the pad the character is standing transparent when the camera is below it.
- A text saying something like “press P to go back” when in play mode. It took me a month to notice there was a keybind to leave it. I was restarting my game thinking it was a bug. (I know there’s a keymap on the options but still, most won’t take their time to see it, me included)
Bugs:
- Grids don’t work.
- Color selection close button doesn’t work.
- Character parts are selectable in play mode.
- Limb selector shows up on top of layer/tools buttons at low resolutions/window sizes. (image 4)
- The sound of hovering over icons for some reason plays a bit to the left ear. I can’t unhear it since I’ve noticed.
- Uploading the avatar picture either isn’t working or takes too long to update.
Aaand that’s it.
