Size of Sprites

Post by Desolane900 » 13 Jan 2016, 01:00

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Add the ability to change how big your character is in the character creation screen.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): I believe it would add more roleplay or maybe a sense of person and depth to Marines that are normally just colored helmets in a crowd with nobody caring about their backstory or names.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Do the math in the pixels as relative to the size of the person in meters/centimeters or feet/inches. Yeah it would take some time to do considering you'd have to screw with every other sprite attachable to the character but I've seen other servers do it, just more simplified.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Add a small menu near the blood types or skin tone that would be size in feet/inches or just small, medium, large as some people might not have the brain cells to figure out that 7 feet is too much.

That might be possible if it was by two pixels at most. I imagine it would be a pain to code.

Frankly:

This is a terrible idea and would result in either hideous blurred sprites or modifying every single existing clothing sprite by hand for as many options as there are.

It would add basically nothing to the game.

Don't forget that marines would pick smallest sprite size possible to make themselves harder to click.

Denied.

This would be such a shitstorm it's not even remotely funny.
