can anyone tell me....?

Is it possible to make your own armor, and then equip it? If so, how?

[IrishGrace]

No you can't make your own armor and then equip it. But you can make your own armor and make a request in the Armor Request forum for it to be added to the armory.

[LuvAslan]

I admit, I'm trying. I copied the body, using it as a guide for best fit, bit when trying to color it, all I can get is black, white, browns and tans (like the shades used for the skin.).no other color will work, and that is bad.

[Veiled Viper]

What program are you using?

[Rose D.]

It probably has to do with color modes, because gifs only support a small palette (hence the quality reduction with some images when saved to gif.) Most programs allow you to change to another color mode - 24 bit RGB true-color is best. :)

[LuvAslan]

I'm using Paint. primitive, yes, but I'm more of an amature designer.

[Veiled Viper]

I started out as an amateur,and look at me now!
:D

[LuvAslan]

So why won't the colors look like they are supposed to? I saved the body as a file, and opened it in paint. It's frustrating to have things go nuts.

[Veiled Viper]

Wish I had an answer for you,but I don't know.

[LuvAslan]

that's ok, I understand. I'll just stick with requesting armor I found on the internet. But can you tell me why I see people who have armor that I have not seen anywhere in the armory?

They might be specials of the month. We usually run the specials of the month for about a month. They'll come back again, because they're tied to different seasons and holidays.

[LuvAslan]

I know about that, but I am talking about things that do not be particular to any month. but I guess I won't question any further.

There are a couple of items that have been discontinued, at least until we can improve them. Some of our early work during the armory conversion when the Characters were being introduced left a little bit to be desired. When we get a chance to rework them, we'll add them to the armory listings again. In the meanwhile, people who bought them can still wear them.

If you can describe the item that you've seen, I might be able to tell you the status, and why it's not currently available.

[LuvAslan]

well, I saw a long orangy-yellowish dress with a V-belt. it looked pretty 2-D

[ravenscape]

I think you might be talking about this dress...

We'll need to redo this and improve the artwork before we put it back in the armory listing.

[LuvAslan]

yes, that's the one I saw and I also just saw a red dress. I think it's call the imperial guard dress, or something. it's kinda similar.

I think the imperial guard outfit is in the generic tops section. As far as I know it's available to buy, though it could use some rework too :).

[Veiled Viper]

Rave,should people just start a request thread for each item they want revised?

That's been what people have done so far. It's a little easier to track that way.

This wasn't originally a revision request, but it's kinda sorta working it's way around to that.

[TheSerenityPrayer]

It might be because the armory team took some of the items out of the armory. That happens every now and then. :)

After months of semi-retirement, The Funky Shen Jon Dress has been redesigned by Angel4Truth and is once again available for purchase in the Armory :clap: :clap: :clap:

To see the new version of the dress, you may have to hit CTL-F5.
