How about add the craft skill for making perfume for image designers?
It's work like skill tape for cloth, but there are time limitation for effects.
Camo or dance/music healing are realistic as effects...

New minor UI wish list item:


- You cannot preview what a hairstyle will look like on someone unless they hit accept and commit to it. This also goes for makeup, hair color, and eye color (correct me if I'm wrong here). It would be really nice if we could preview these changes before we offer them. Often we offer options having no idea if they will match an outfit or skin tone or facial structure and the person is left wondering why we've offered such a thing. A preview for us would be a time, reputation, andmind saver

As far as I remember makeup and hair color and eye color all show up to the ID on the person, same as when you're adjusting skin color. I don't know what your settings are, but it sounds like you're having a graphics card issue. Remember back in the day when we only had sliders for color - the *only* way to see the color was on the client as we moved the slider along (eek, did you just move the slider and guess - poor you!!!)


I agree about the hairdos, - seeing a disembodied scalp doesn't really do it for me, especially on the horn styles when it's sometimes not clear which is the front or back.

I definitely agree with the subtractions Kwee suggested. Costume make-up would be used by EVERYONE, and would get really tiresome really fast. The side menu would make me feel like a vendor.

The addition of hairstyles with multiple colors (so you can have a white streak, or graying hair behind your temples, or something similar).

I don't think Zabraks should be allowed to have just hair. If someone wants just hair and no horns, tell them to play a human!

I may have missed a post, but when we have discussed wanting full heads of hair for zabrak females on this forum, it has always been under the condition that horns poke out of the hair. Many of the current zabrak female styles make the female look as though she has a receding hairline, and in fact some recede more than the zabrak male styles. While this may be true to the SWG world, it is not viewed as aesthetically pleasing to many female players. An example of where LucasArts allowed the tweaking of a species is Twi'leks, which were made more human looking than in the Star Wars world in order to appeal more to players. I definitely agree Zabraks should never be without their horns.

Hmm ok now that I reread Rilawyn's list, it does say...


"all hair" styles for Zabrak females


I hope this doesn't mean hornless. I can conceive of them allowing full heads of hair with horns poking out, but not allowing us to file horns off altogether.

  • "Halo" or "glowing face" effect on male twi'leks

    Something fitting this description happens on female Zabraks as well (maybe male, too?). It isn't entirely camouflaged by tattoos. If anyone with a better system wants to see it to get a second opinion I'd be happy to help.

    My only issue with the subtraction of a client-side previewis that for every two customers I get that know what they want, Iget another that has no clue and I have toshow them everypossible hair style ortattoo in the book before they can make up their mind. If they would just implement some sort of in-game reference, similar to how hair salons have books with pictures of different hair styles, and tattoo parlors have books with pictures of tats, I would be happy.


    I know there are fansites out there, and I always reference one when hawking my wares, but some people are either unable or unwilling to visit them. Any sort of primer for the unitiated would be welcome.
