[StarWarsRP] Body Groups/Closets

[AlexConway 1,147]

Suggestion: Add "bodygroupr-master" to the server, it's a live update body group modification addon that changes aspect's of the player's model. 

Reasoning: Most models on the server already have extensive bodygroups.  The player/user is downloading already packs with massive/extensive bodygroups, so this is just a means to add extra roleplay and fully utilize the model.

Additional Information: This would allow players to customize body groups from a closet, that is spawned like any other entity. And avoid players looking like the image below from switching classes. The addon itself runs at 52.8 KB which in megabytes is 0.0528 MB, so a small addon, that can add a lot more. The addon is for purchase from the Gmod Store - I simply added the Sci-Fi Prop Locker (models/lt_c/sci_fi/ground_locker_small.mdl) in the shared.lua. The addon also supports a permissions systems that works with D3A. The addon does support multiple job models - which is shown in the videos

+1, very small file size, and adds some customization to your trooper.

+1 It would add more personalization to people to make them unique

+1 Part of the appeal of Phase II. armor was customization

Unfortunately I don't think this can happen, alot of the models we currently utilize on the servers have a pre-defined set of bodygroups in order to keep the size of our content folder down. Furthermore, you can practically utilize a trooper model and attach ARF/ARC body groups onto it.

Would love to know @Phantom's input.

I would love to be able to edit bodygroups. Especially if we implement a CT battalion, as they rank up they can add a kama and skirt depending on their rank. I'm just not sure exactly how the addon works, which is something Conway is more familiar with if he could further explain it. If I understand what Garnet is saying, I don't think random troopers will be able to change their bodygroup to look like ARC? If so, I'm sure there can be rules in place to prevent that. It's pretty obvious who is ARC and who isn't.

+1 Rules would have to be added onto every battalion about ranks and what they can have / can't have on them. If it comes a problem it can become a FailRP warn cause they are wearing something they arn't suppose to be wearing. But, Big +1 from me.

DarkRP job presets as in:
 

TEAM_EXAMPLEGG = DarkRP.createJob("GG SWRP Example", {
    color = Color(21, 23, 23, 255),
    model = {},
    description = [[]],
    weapons = {},
    command = "examplegg",
    max = ,
    salary = ,
    admin = ,
    vote = ,
    hasLicense = ,
    candemote = ,
    category = "SWRPExample",
    PlayerSpawn = function(ply)
        ply:SetBodygroup(1, 1)
        ply:SetBodygroup(2, 4)
        ply:SetBodygroup(6, 6)
    end
})

"ply:SetBodygroup" - do not matter, those are simply presets, once you use the closet, they will completely override and reset when you switch to a new job.

Regardless of the presets, the models have body groups, I tested all the models MOST more than 85% have extensive bodygroups 7+ options

 

The most you can put on the CT model as a Kama no helmet, not ARF/ARC abilities.
