Would anyone ever like to attempt to undertake the task of fixing the tailor-made belts to adjust to the proper waist size?
This was posted by Tiars on the SWGEmu forums:
"A developer looked into this and did discover that it was a bug. Belts should adjust their diameter based on the character waist settings. This was done correctly for armor belts. The first clothing belt adjusted their diameter based on the character chest settings and this was wrong. This bug seems to have been cut and pasted from clothing belt to clothing belt. To fix this would require a change to all clothing belts. Since the EMU has the problem I suspect that it would be a client side change which would be harder for the EMU to fix.
When you think about it this makes sense. The hula hoops are more noticeable on the female characters since people often make the chest significantly larger than the waist. On make characters the difference is generally not as much and it is hardly noticeable on most characters."
and
"I wish the wayback machine had saved the thread where our discussion on this topic with DevH happened. But It doesn't seem to be one that got archived. I may have a copy of it saved on my other PC, but not sure.
It was not an easy fix, he essentially detailed out why it would be difficult. Now, I don't know if it would be something easier done here than there. It kind of boiled down to the art assets needing to be fixed on each and every version, not something that could be done with a global fix."
Do we have the tools for modifying morph information on mgn files, and if so, are there any modellers looking for a project?
