Give snale some clothes

[IntegratedQuantum]

The following idea:
Snale gets two vanity equipment slots for chest and legs. These can be equipped with cloth to change the player appearance.
When newly joining the world a player should get two randomly colored pieces of cloth in these slots.

Open questions:

• How to map the cloth onto the snale model? Possible a second texture layer that determines the locations of chest and legs would help
• How to texture the cloth on the body? Should it just take the block texture or a dedicated texture? Another option would to take the texture from the model texture and the palette from the cloth texture.
• How does the client know what other players are wearing?

Concepts by Carrie and Me for what the clothes could look like.

Hmm, so you both seem to imply that clothes should be a separate model instead of being just a texture overlay?

[codemob-dev]

I like that idea

[ikabod-kee]

Yes. Clothes shouldn't be skin-tight, as they can look awkward. Clothes are an extension of a person, not part of them!

Maybe each cube in the clothes model could be linked to a cube on the player model so that it works with animations?

[IntegratedQuantum]

That does make rendering possibly more difficult, especially if we want different arm and leg coverage.

Does the clothing have to be cubic, or can we have slopes?

Also, how about replacing limbs entirely? That's also a possibility and is how some TF2 cosmetics are done.

What I would want:

• snale model has clothes cubes.
• clothes are greyscale, and pull colors from predetermined palettes (based on the 20 default colors)

No slopes please

I feel like adding slopes gives a slightly different vibe to the rest of the art, slopes should probably be incorporated using textures.
