greetings.
as it was requested by the Ex community manager @james_groove and the lovely helper @Euthymia07-live
here is a mega thread regarding customization featuring 3 main aspects to address, technically there were way more,
but this was asked of me with specific requests, so i addressed them accordingly.
with that aside, let’s begin.
missing pieces inside the customization
in this first section, essentially a lists all of the missing items that currently exist in one way or another, but are missing from being purchasable.
( aka, for example, the Ameba camouflages, some of the splittertarn, pea dots, and much, much more )
but not exclusive to camouflages.
generally, it adressed pieces that match other pieces within the customization, but aren’t available.
or pieces that are available, but not to all squads across the field ( for example, former white pants, green helmets limited to sniper squads etc )
while there could be more, the idea was, if even one piece is available, so the full set should be.
( for example, the splittertarn from the gerat. where the medics can wear it, but outside, only the pants are available. )
which according to some developers, the full set was and is supposed to be available.
sort of as a " priority 0 " cosmetics.
Document & list
Moving on, there’s the second part of this mega thread addressing missing items that have been sitting in the editor for quite some time or, are most requested items. and as i called it,
Wishlist Suggestions Pieces
in this thread, i’ll will primarily focus on existing items that are either unused currently located in the editor, as well as some of the cosmetics that are given by default to some of the squads but not currently available to purchase. as an example, NKVD summer uniforms, German luftwaffe paratrooper/ ground units uniforms, paratroopers helmets, and much more. as well as most wanted cosmetics like the picture above of a tan japanese uniform.
without stepping too much into the premium toes.
Document & list
and last but not least,
Additions based on existing cosmetics
this last part is essentially about adding cosmetics that do not currently exist.
utilizing hidden textures or models that were used once or twice, but never fully " covered ".
alternatively, making use of some of the new technology ( sheen / camouflage_override ) to create items that are possible to make with the editor, and are compatible for the base game, but are not currently " official " / vanilla.
with the intention of adding tons of cosmetics for eventual premium, event, and base customization squads.
ranges from most cosmetics that i mustered over the years since the editor was released to us.
Document & list
this last section is also useful for modders if they like to get their hands on most of them before, ( hopefully ) gets introduced in the base game.
Considerations
i am well aware about the customization issues.
mainly about similar items not being shared across the same presets or soldiers ( like faces ), prices and other jazz.
but, we all addressed them before.
as explained again, i had to follow certain criteria and was tasked to follow said criteria.
and that is all,
thanks for listening
