Hair and hair related accessories

[ColonicAcid]

So paprka suggested that we:

just open up human_face or whatever, all the hair sprites are in there. I'd really like a team of people with sprite knowledge to go through and spruce them up, maybe make them more uniform and organized.

I agree totally that's why I'm learning how the hair system works, after a few hours tinkering with it I kind of got it.

Kind of.
Anyway here's my first design for an alternative of pigtails.


So yeah let's get spiriting some shitty hair for our waifus and husbandos.
(pls don't let male hairs go unnoticed it's cool having a gazillion female hairs but give our penis wielding spacemens some love too.)

something I was working on, I dunno if i'll get around to finishing it.

[paprika]

Males don't need hair because all males should be bald/buzzed like true astronauts

[Nienhaus]

Parted hair best hair.

[Ikarrus]

What about a long braid that doesn't look terrible???

[ColonicAcid]

Yes please.

[danno]

im t-trying


tell me what good/bad

[AseaHeru]

Thats rather good, the view from the back looks rather bland to me...

Can we please get the shaved things as default choices?
To prevent my confusion, the things you get from using the razor...

[ColonicAcid]

so wait up what's the max height of hair.
like i'm getting an ERROR message every time i take the hairstyle into the game so I'm guessing i've gone over a unspecified limit or something.
also how to get that test model without going into the game????????????????????????

[miggles]

take the sprite of the hair
paste it on the sprite of a person where their hair would be

[danno]

Max...height???
CA the sprites in the game are all 32x32
you fit it in the 32x32 box given to you
what

when i wrote that i was really tired and i didn't think.
i knew there's hairs that go up instead of down (beehive etc) but yesterday i didn't remember them.
So i dunno what's wrong with my sprite that means the game just doesn't show it in game ;_;

[miggles]

did you type in all the stuff corrightly

[ColonicAcid]

ye p. sure i did.

[danno]

ok lets walk through your process bud
did you add it to sprite_accessories.dm

[ColonicAcid]

I've already made another hair sprite that worked fine. It's just this one that is fucking up and I have no idea why

Yes I put the hair in sprite accessories and I go to the character setup and click the hair and it has a big error message.

[Neerti]

You sure you spelled the icon_state correctly?

>It works when I add the sprites to another already in the game hair style.

[danno]

oh your tabbing is wrong you fucktard



see those arrows? that indicates that it's tabbed
you have like
4 spaces
that's not the same as hitting tab.

[ColonicAcid]

>implying it isn't tabbed

neeeeeeeeeeeeeext

[danno]

[ColonicAcid]

maybe instead of thinking it's me being incompetent you try and give me helpful advice?

[danno]

What am I supposed to say
It looked like you were being incompetent
If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck

[ColonicAcid]

uhm
I posted the exact same image but with tab lines.
They were all tabbed.

[danno]

And I said "looked"

You've probably fixed this by now but...

the icon_state variable in the hair datum is correct. However your icon_states in the dmi are incorrect. The standing version of the hair needs "_s" at the end, and the laying down version needs "_l".

Basically the game adds these to the icon_state variable found in the hair datum when applying them to the mob. It does it this way so that you don't have to type in two different icon_states in the hair datum.

Since there is no "hair_doublepig_s" or "hair_doublepig_l" icon_state in the dmi, it is returning the "" (null) icon_state....which is that error sprite

[paprika]

i literally laughed out loud when i saw that hairstyle

it's like ashlyn goes super saiyan

[Remie Richards]

"_l" is no longer required due to Byond 500 matrix rotations, but yeah, "_s" IS needed.

holy shit rofl you're right.

Sorry, I was basing that on our codebase, which forked from TG like a year ago or something.

[Mandurrrh]

So I made some variations of FLB for /vg/ because FLB is cursed. Thought I'd share with you guys too.



High pony tail.



Long straight pony tail.

Thats it. And I've never sprited before so be nice. Please..

[Gun Hog]

May you give some ingame screenshots? It is hard to make out the details when you have greyscale against a white background.
