Image Designer Archive

I'm not currently an ID, but I follow this board and realize that non-standard colors for hair is one of the most-requested things by customers. I realize you folks can not do this currently, or I thought you couldn't...now I'm a bit confused.

I was walking through town on Chilastra yesterday, when I stumbled across a Zabrak male with decidedly non-standard hair. I just stared, wondering if something had been patched that I wasn't aware of. I asked the only ID I could search up on the server at the time, and she didn't have info on such a change.

I don't have any graphical color probs with my video card or anything, and even if I did, this is a pretty drastic color...he's the Doctor over my shoulder there - definitely a player character

What do you make of this? Random bug (albeit a neat one?) Stealth patch? Or have I missed something, and you guys already know about this?

Thanks! I'm hoping someone here can clear up my confusion.

Sorry for the double-post...

You know, the more I look at that pic, the more confused I become. I've never seen a no-horn mohawk for Zabrak, either, but I may just not recall it from the ID sites on the web. I assumed he was Zabrak, due to the facial tattoos...

I wonder - is it possible that this character just showed up all graphically wrong in general? If so, it's a cool accident! But I'm still confused.

Hey Vorah. Fancy meeting you here =).

I worked on a Zabrak last night and there was definitely no option for a mohawk.

That has to be a bug of some sort. Or someone found a way to get human hair on a Zabrakian (possibly using the same method to get true baldness on humans?).

The fact that the mohawk was blue alone lets me know this is a graphical bug of some type. Blue hair color, with the exception of Rodian frill tips, is not available for any race.

This person or a friend of his used an exploit that allows even non image designers to give themselves any modification available to any species. Though in my testing I was unable to give myself tattoos (I'm a human), and yes I made sure I knew how to take them off first. A friend of mine was able to use the same command to modify her tattoos (she's a zabrak). Anyway this looks like a zabrak who got themselves a human hairstyle and a rodian female hair color. Rodian female hair color cannot be modified by us, apparently this like baldness, can be changed in ways other than via image designing They really need to fix this exploit and give us the abilities we are missing. I sent Rilawyn (our ID correspondent) an email detailing how to do the exploit and that it was being used to grief by non image designers (because it does not always require an accept, it's very buggy), and she told me she passed it on to Q=3PO. This was maybe three weeks ago

It is apparently a bug that some image designers have used to their advantage. I saw a master the other day with a rodian hairstyle so she was able to have blue hair. I am not sure how this but works exactly, but there is something that will allow other species to have hair that is not their own.

I've only seen it one other time, though, so I dunno how many people know how to do it.

Hehe. Looks like I took to long to post.

Hey there!

I was on my way home to Restuss on Rori last night, coming from Dearic on the Radiant server. And twice I passed female Zabrek NPCs in the starports along the way that had human hairstlyes. One had the snake-like wrap around stlye and one had the half bald-half hair stlye. Both also had tattoos and horns on their heads. And they were definately NPCS. first thing I thought was "Oh wow, can I give Zabs human hair doos now?" But then I had a chance to do a female Zabs hair, and there were no new options then I had before...

I understand that the way some players get the image design traits of other species is through a game-exploit. But the fact that some NPCsspawned withstyles of other species too, just seems really messed up to me.

Why is it that after a really bad fire-fight the hairdresser is always the last one standing?

Zabrak Master ID, Starsider. I am not able to replicate the Zabrak toon - human style - Rodian color bugs. It may no longer be possible; I sent in a /bug of The Method shortly after finding out about it.

If you don't know The Method, you don't need to; it's probably just an exploit waiting to be (or already has been) fixed. If you do know it, then I can tell you that although I can use The Method to show myself (a Zabrak) with a human hairstyle, with Rodian frills, or even with Trandoshan ridges... they don't stick. They don't take. I click 'accept' and I revert back to my previous Zabrak style. I tried this, then took a shuttle -- maybe it was a reload problem. No, my style was still my natural Zabrak ponytail.

I can no longer use The Method to change things I'm permitted to change, such as tattoo color or hair color. I don't know why this doesn't work -- it probably should, I'm a master ID -- but it doesn't. The programmers may have nailed that exploit shut, making it non-functional to IDs as well as to neophytes.

Also, when I try to use The Method to pick a hair color, the numbers above 25 or so just show blonde, blonde, blonde, blonde ... the farthest right color in the Zabrak palette. I don't get to a new level where I can access red Rodian colors, blue Twi'lek markings, or pastel Mon Cal colors. Numbers-wise I'm stuck with the range of colors I was born with.

I don't think that blue mohawk ona Zabrak is even possible any more. If it is, I've no idea how it works.

That person was sporting a rhodian girl's hairstyle, (hair #123) a mowhawk very similar to the ones human's can get. Rhodian femalehair color can be changed via code with /imagedesignsetvalue hair_color <#>.

here are some color values I found for rhodianfemale hair:

0-3 gold-blonde

4-7 greens (dark to light)

8-11 red-orange

12-15 blues (dark to light)

16-19brown-white

any higher numbers are defaulted down to the highest color value for that race's type of hair.

hope that helps clear up the mystery, even though it can't be replicated anymoreas of today's patch=P

heh, it may just be me... but asilly hair exploit is not really at the top of my list of things needing to be fixed in this game. Also, I wanted that style
