[Costume parts.]

This gets to be more complicated when you realize that putting all the elements of a component together may rely on entries from several different text files, and information in the file headers (which, again, haven't been entirely figured out)!

 

Child's play it ain't. However, from what is known, and what could be reversed from the engine code's reading instructions, this could all be figured out and new tools made. Finding programmers capable of this, and willing to do so....?

You're spot on, and this part I quoted is exactly what I was talking about. We're still missing the dev tools that were used to create the 3D elements and manage all the art assets. I have been creating texture replacements for CoH for years and know my way around that. But I also know that even if I created, say, one new pair of Tights, it currently takes a ridiculous amount of work to get that item to show up in the CC because someone has to access those costume text files manually and enter that new item into every category.

 

I'm basically just waiting for all coders to work out the kinks of the game and servers, so we can start working on the fun bits.

I can't speak for the upper echelons, but I assume the "no money exchange" rule goes for this as well.

Nonsense, adding assets is childs play, all they have to do is public the necessary file formats and the community can churn out assets.

Yeeeeah, that's not how it works.

[Death from Below!]

I joined a sewer team yesterday. When they started literally killing mobs in the sewers I asked if they didn't mean to do DFB. They didn't know what it was.

Sadly it was shortly before the server went down, so I didn't get to show them.

He said that if I had the global @Force I must have been OG and he allowed be to have it back.

Ah, the opposite of my experience then.
